I'm thinking about leaving- the threads can live without livening up for a week :D

I don't even know what that means. Sparkleponies take so much attention...

Well, DUH!

TPBM is starting to let go of their attachment to their original departure plans because there's just too much to do before they can go.

Ive been livin in cali for 13 years and i have never been to or even heard of Bishop, CA.

TPBM's mind is already on the playa
If cocaine were legal, would they sell it in little packages like Sweet N' Low? Would they call it Sweet N' High?

TPBM is wondering where those long months of waiting went...

I've just pulled out my stuff and started sorting. It's the year of Cutting Back, so hopefully I won't have too much to juggle.


TPBM is wasting precious time on eplaya that they really need to use elsewhere...

Precisely. Technically I am "resting", it is muggy for Utah, my asthma is up and I think I'm having hot flashes. We don't have AC, the swamp cooler is just a fan, and I can't hide in the basement and pack clothes. Argh. Still, I am making art a good clip.

TPBM isn't going and is using eplaya to soothe their soul.

Everything about you impresses me, Fishy. Not the least of which being your ability to do things with fins that we mere mortals have difficulty doing with fingers!

No. After meeting the man himself (hehehe!) I realize that he achieves things beyond the ken of a mere mortal fish.
