Update

Tired and wine-sleepy, but want to make a quick post.

Today was great.

Work went quickly. I got a call brom Amanda B. and we got time to chat. A few weeks ago (maybe aonly a week) she broke up with her boyfriend and was really down about it. Now she's doing a lot better, her birthday was yesterday (Sunday) and went very well, and it was just really good to hear she's happy. She also mentioned that she's really only 3hours away, so we might be planning a trip or something to see each other some time.

I also got a call from Olivia who I also might be seeing soon, either on November 14th or else sometime in December; it depends on my work schedule.

And this evening was spent with Leslie. We got some wine, 'cause we both like wine (though I'm getting the sinking suspision that I'm allergic *tear*) and went running before watching Heroes together with her brother. Leslie really likes the show, so I'm glad I piushed her to watch it. She's enamoured with Hiro, and even more so, I think, with Ando. I was very glad to see how Claire's character is playing out, I'm very happy to see all the connections being made, and I don't know what to think of Claire's dad.

Now it's time for bed. I have work in the morning and I don't want to hate it more than I have to.

I don't dream much.

I didn't realize it until just now, reading a random news article on The Slate, but last night I had a dream about Suzannah.

I was walking around somewhere, a college campus, with someone. It might have been Leslie, but I can't remember. And Suzannah was there, passing by us, or us passing by her, a few times before the end of the sequence. I of course was cool, collected. Neither of us spoke to each other (in fact, I'm not sure either of us said anything at all), but in the omniscience of dreamtime I saw her look at me a few times.

The last thing I remrmber of the dream (before waking up 35min after my alarm should have gone off) was me looking at her more than a little sadly. I thought then as I've thought every couple of weeks or so: I wish I still knew her.

I think that most people just remember the sudden end of our relationship. I posted a few bits from when I was seeing her, but not a whole lot. I have a lot more to remember; I had a lot of fun with her. Going to dinner and plays, sitting up on Skyline drive in the late Fall, going for walks around her campus, and the gardens in Glenmont, not to mention months of Contra. She was a nice girl, pretty and intelligent, fun to talk to and laugh with. Mostly because I don't understand why, exactly, she ended our relationship, I can't help but imagine (still) that I must've messed things up somewhere.

This is kind of interesting.

I guess Jessi's safe, then.

I read lots of online news articles and find more typos than I would expect, even from fairly reputable sites. admittedly, I wouldn't expect perfect English on a site called 'ChinaView.cn', but this is the most amusing misspelling I've seen:

"Hamas condemns the abduction of guests that carry eminent massages."
