I can't wait to go home. Eat food I miss and seeing Jason and the girls. I sleep in my own bed .. sigh .. yeah. Eat good salad dressing! yum! I miss grilled cheese sandwhiches too.
I leave for Malaysia on the 27th of September. I'll be there till like mid April.
So I can enjoy spring and my birthday at home!

Paris

2008-09-01T12:02:40Z

I fell in love with Versailles, I want to return so I can finish seeing the gardens.
The city is grand, I felt like I was in a movie. The food was pricey but the people are cool cats.

On my way back from Versailles, my friend and I were sitting on the train facing each other by the window, I moved two seats over to my left to be out of the sun. (Very hot in Paris that weekend) I look beyond the seats in front of me (about 1 meter away) I see this man who I noticed before but this time, he was grinning and I could barely see his eyes because of the brim of his hat. Turned out he was playing with his dick, and it was full out of his pants, including his balls. He was rubbing the tip, I was grossed out and moved back to myself seat, he zipped up and left quickly. I remember noticed him before playing with some "material" above his pants, so he was masturbating for a while in front of me. Ok, that was the most perverted thing ever happened to me. Not even NYC that's been done to me which I have spent much more time in.

More on Paris soon, when I can include photo links!

I wish I was home. In my own bed, petting my kitties and hugging jason. Been in europe for two months, working .. weekends trips but I am tired. I want to sleep in my own bed. I am hoping the rumors are true and I could be home in 4 weeks.

spent a very lonely weekend

broken thoughts

2008-08-15T08:37:59Z

last nite/this morning .. i have to face a new life i am not ready to endure. who is ready for a life of loneliness? i can not accept the truth. or i cant allow myself too. i do not know.

i am lucky to have a job where they pay me to travel around the world, but honestly how great is that when you cant share that with anyone? i am the lonely traveller.

i'll great to see paris for the first time and versailles .. but i wont have anyone to share it with.

moving

2007-05-21T15:33:37Z

So the mister man and I are moving into a twobedroom with den. We already have the keys and the best part it's just on the top floor of the same building we are now. So the moving will be easy. It's much bigger then our current apartment. We took Artemis up there, to let her wonder around and sniff out the place. She wanted back down tho. She's a little confused on what's going on, but the next time she goes up there is when it's a final move for her. At first I tried letting her go up the stairs of the building but she started meowing in a tune where she thought I was kicking her out. Since I did shout the door. She rent for the door and starting straching it and crying to go in. Poor party-mar, just doesn't understand. She'll love the new place soon enough. All that room to run around.

weekends

2007-05-14T18:31:01Z

I broke my toe. It hurts.

Which will just make this weekend a little more uncomfortable. The tulip fest is this weekend ... moving more stuff into storage, so I can put together the futon.
Haven't been feeling great at all. I don't know what's going on with Jason. We haven't had a fight free talk in a while.

and other stuff hasn't happened in weeks! urgh!

Myself.
These portraits that I will share with you are very different then you already see me. I'm exposed in the sense that I feel vulnerable, alone, sad, tired, waiting, stressed. As mister man said after viewing the first scans of these ortraits, 'from documentary to art'. He made such wonderful comments and help me to even view them even deeper.

Thanks to `zerocomplex for his support in my positivness with this photo.
