Jellies!!
A long day today. A long drive... for a long walk.

I took Alex to Florence to see the Oregon coast. I can't believe he's never been to the coast out here before. We've only lived here, what, two and a half years??

We walked from the Karl G. Washburn memorial roadside up to the Heceta recreational area. The weather goddess treated us to a nice surprise and gave us bright sun with some rather pretty mist. She blocked out the end of the sunset, though, the sadistic bitch.

We talked for a long time, the most congenial things have ever been, in fact. I think we're both surprised and satusfied to find we can finally be friends without pain and guilt clouding the way. It's funny how a bit of honesty and mutual apreciation can clear a nasty case of denial right up. I think we have a lot to be proud of after the shit we've been though. Just goes to show you that hard work pays off, listening can teach a lot, and trust comes with time.

I learned something today, guys...
it's that hollow rotting sticks do not make good swords and that jellyfish are stupid, stupid animals and trying to save them is a pointless exercise. Oh, and that I can drive stick without stalling and while paying attention to other things. Neener neener.


I told Alex I'd quote him on this because it sounds so terribly cynical out of context:

"If I were religious, I'd just kill myself."

When the day comes, you do that, hon. At least you'll know you're going somewhere. I'm sticking around here for a while. I've got a ways further to walk.

XOXOXOX ==> Away to bed, whee! Too tired for doodling around. (*chuckle*)
