and such

went on an overnight sailing trip thursday, got back late last night. Sleeping on a sailboat is quite a trip. I kept waking up thinking the boat was going to tip over, or sink. But it was also quite fun. We docked at Angel Island for lunch yesterday and sailed around Alcatraz and got great views of the Golden Gate bridge and SF.

If you ever get an opportunity to go sailing in the Bay, do.

I forgot to wear a hat or put on sunscreen, so my face is burned bright pink. All other parts of me were covered, so it's only my face that's burned.

In spite of the great time that I had, I'm feeling pretty miserable today. Rationally, I know I'll get over Greg when he's gone. I also know it never does anyone any good to miss a friend before they're gone. But I could cry right now and I probably shouldn't. There's work to do, yet.

He leaves Monday.

Actually, I was browsing around my 3 months ago posts, for the meme below, and it was three months ago when Greg went to Chicago for the weekend and I was mopey and missing him and feeling weird for missing him because he wasn't supposed to mean that much. But he did. And he does. Goddamn it.

So much has happened in my life in the last year. I loved Chris so much and now we never even talk to each other. When I go home for a short visit next month, it happens I fly in on the anniversary of my dad's death. I feel like a wreck. Something's gotta give.

3 months ago: 1) banged the hell out of my knee on my bike this afternoon. It's starting to bruise up pretty bad. gah. . . .

6 months ago: Did I ever tell you about the time, nearly a year before my father died, when I was throwing my very first graduate school potluck?

9 months ago: Can you believe I'm actually going to be on the same farm as Corey Feldman?

1 year ago: Proof that I really was in Spokane:

1 year 3 months ago: Last night Jolie and I went to a free concert on campus

1 year 6 months ago: So, in the summer of 2002, I took a sort of service learning course on feminist video production

1 year 9 months ago: So I now have 20+ folks RSVP'd for my potluck and board game party

2 years ago: I never do seem to write much about my feelings, my interior self on LJ.

2 years 3 months ago: Mom and I went to Hollywood tonight for dinner and a show.

2 years 6 months ago: Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you were not admitted.

2 yesrs 9 months ago: I have sent out requests for my letters of recommendation

3 years ago: Okay, my video is edited. It's done.

Good luck with stuff, Mel. I'm right there with the 'not supposed to mean that much' feeling. Not the same situation, I'm sure, but still. It's really, really, really, really hard. And that's okay, I think. Take care!

Hahahaha! Oh boy, damn. Me too, kiddo, me too.

This is a great meme. I wonder if I'm capable of being concise eough to sum up these times in my life with single sentences.
