5:02 pm	I lost my phone! Everyone call 801-636-3140 until someone picks up and harrass them to return my phone! That is, of course, unless the battery dies or it was run over by a car.... EDIT: Found! What a lucky day I've had! My lucky day: This morning, I slept in. A lot. And then I was like, "Ohmigosh! I should get ready!" And wouldn't you know it, the hair gel from yesterday held and my hair didn't need to be touched up or anything. Yesterday I got in trouble for forgetting my name tag--so today I triple checked that I had it. Got three blocks away from my house and had to turn back because I forgot my hat. Got my hat and then got to the bus stop and looked at the time. Dang! I missed the bus. But what fortune! As I start walking, the bus headed toward the train station stops right behind me. Now, this is lucky because these buses only run once an hour on Sunday. And it just HAPPENED to be where I needed it, when I needed it? LUCKY! So I get to the train station and LUCKY! Here comes the train, which comes only once every hour, also, on Sundays. It takes me three blocks away from work and I get clocked in EARLY. I slept in, forgot my clothes, missed a bus, and STILL got there on time and in full uniform. So I'm working and then I have a sudden thought that my bus will be coming soon, so the manager let me go early. I'm clocking out and I can see the bus coming. So I run across the street and catch it right when it gets there. LUCKY! But on the way home I realize I don't have my phone with me. Luckily, the bus stops right in front of my other job, so I stop in and use their phone. Because my manager let me leave early, he was still at the store when I called him about my phone. But, unluckily, he couldn't find it! I thought I was going to be ill. If it wasn't with me and it wasn't at work, it was somewhere between work and the bus stop. I came home, asked loads of people to call my phone, and then thought, since I had nothing better to do for the evening, that I ought to catch another bus back to work and see if I can't find it. I'm waiting for the bus and a bum doesn't harrass me for bus fare (lucky!!!). I catch the bus, ride up to work, get off the bus, IMMEDIATELY see my phone in the grass next to the sidewalk, pick it up, get back on the bus, and head home. Not five minutes after picking my phone up, it starts to rain crazy hard. It was a miracle that my phone was still there in plain sight after two hours. Then I found a really yummy recipe online and I have all the ingredients already! Seriously. What a MARVELOUSLY fortunate day. :D (Comment on this)

12:23 pm	Oy So I have been on-again-off-again vegetarian for four years now (I stopped the first time because my dad yelled at me about being a liberal college student and the whole time I was visiting he made sure there was meat in EVERYTHING- and this was before he knew I was gay), and about two weeks ago I discovered I have lactose intolerance. Wundebar! So for the last week I have been living as close to a vegan diet as I know how, and it's actually pretty wonderful. I've lost three pounds. I have more energy. I enjoy the taste of almond milk and soy. I get to try all sorts of new foods and recipes. I'm learning a lot. I feel good. Did you know that gelatin is STILL made from animal hooves? There are alternative ways of making jello and such, but they still use animal products. It's not even vegetarian, if you think about it. Did you know that milk is FDA approved to have up to 750,000 ppm of PUS CELLS in it because the over milking causes infection and therefore pus is inevitable? Did you know that sugar is whitened with animal bones, and therefore not vegetarian, either? And that some food dyes are made from crushed BUGS? I'm liking this so far, but I'm afraid to tell people around me. I don't know about where everyone else lives, but in Sugarhouse, it's a bit of a fad to be a vegan, especially in the LGBT circles. So I get by by telling those who ask that I'm a lactose-intolerant vegetarian, which I am essentially. I think I'll die if my folks ever find out. Dad will hate me. I'm telling all you guys because I know you won't judge me, and even if you do judge me, you won't hate me. :D (Comment on this)

3:57 pm	So today I did something I haven't done in a long time. I pulled my triple combination out of my scripture case. And then I used it to support a lopsided bookcase. >:D (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:42 pm	Twitterpaited I just spent the last two hours on the phone chatting up someone I am smitten with. His name is Jason. Someone else tell me it's okay to like him because you should like people for who they are and not what's in their pants. ....please? (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:21 pm	It's 10:30 at night and I just made breakfast. I'm so excited. No, really. I have to get up early and I found a recipe online for panchan and I was like, "OMG! I love those potato things!" So I made some. And of course, I read the recipe wrong, but I tasted one and it's a bit salty, but still good. Then I went all out and had all of the burners on the stove going and the Roommate's fiancee was like, "late dinner?" and I'm all, "breakfast!" I'm going to have hard boiled eggs and jook and i think it was called kamja jojim(?) and kimchi and this chili green onion stuff that looked good, but I'd never tried before. I am so excited to sleep so I can wake up and eat some! In other news! I've lost ten pounds! (Comment on this)

12:35 am	Tonight was a no good horrible terrible very bad night. Jen and I had another disagreement, and then I had to walk in a blizzard to get to work, and I was late, and then at work the manager said, "Oh, by the way, no one is showing up to help run the shift with you. Hope it's not busy!" and promptly left, having not done any side work and leaving it all for me. And Sarah texts me, and I'm thinking, "Shit- Simon crapped in her laundry again!" If only. Chicago, Sarah's twelve-year-old dog, whom she's had since he was born, had to be put to sleep today. It was very sudden. Over the holidays he'd been going to bathroom all over the house, which we could find no reason for. This morning Sarah noticed he was having trouble breathing and walking, so, thinking it was a respitory problem, took him to the vet. And that's when they discovered he had a tumor on his heart. The tumor caused his heart not to pump properly, which is why he was losing control of his functions. The tumor also caused his lungs to fill with fluid. Sarah could either put him down or take him home, but if he went home, he'd drown himself with the tumor-fluid, which would be a very scary and painful thing. So Chicago went to sleep. My eyes watered when I heard, but when I came home and saw Sarah so upset and crying--god, it just eats me up inside. We hugged and cried for a bit, and I think my crying triggered her crying because it looked like she was about to sleep when I got home. Stupid me. I know he wasn't my dog, but I loved him, too. I've walked him and fed him and played with him for a year and a half now. He was such a good, sweet boy and I miss him already. I can only hope Sarah can somehow find some comfort.

10:43 am	Okay, Jen and I compromised. Simon stays out of the kitchen and bedroom, and he only has to be shut up when I am not home. Also, we had a bit of a misunderstanding because I thought Jen never wanted Simon to leave the room, and she thought I never wanted him in the room. So I do believe that everything will work out. But it's going to kill me to find a new home for Pinky. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:31 pm	I am so frustrated with my girlfriend right now. We've been dating two months now and I love her to bits. I would do just about anything for her, but she wants me to do something that makes me really unhappy. I have two cats, and I love them both, though one more than the other because Simon is my baby and I've had him for over a year. Pinky was dropped off for what I thought would be a few months and now she is mine entirely--but she picks on Simon so much he refuses to use the littter box. Jen and I have decided to move in together when our leases end in June, but she doesn't want cats. She is allergic, but that's not her reason not to have them. She just does not want to have one. So I have agreed to give up Pinky, although she is GORGEOUS and cuddly and friendly and perfect. I thought things were solved because I promised never to let Simon in the bedroom. I was really confused when Jen kept suggesting apartments with two bedrooms. Turns out she wants Simon to have his own room. As in, that's the only room in the whole apartment he's allowed in. I'm sorry, but that sounds like a prison. Simon is only three years old--he has a good fifteen years left on him, in the very least. And Jen wants him to spend those fifteen years confined to one room? Am I totally a bitch for not liking that idea? (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:16 am	I never updated about my mom's visit, huh? Long story short: Dave from work fucked up my Friday and I ended up closing and therefore not seeing my mom and sister at all. Saturday we went to the mall and got lost looking for Ikea, where the only things we bought were cinnamon rolls we didn't eat. Then I invited Jen over for dinner and Mom cried and told me how she hates herself because she's not cool with the fact that I'm gay. But Mom said she liked Jen; Jen, poor terrified darling, I hope, wasn't too uncomfortable. Then we saw the temple lights (not as cool as when I was 10). Sunday morning we found JCPenney's and Mom bought me a really warm coat and they left with enough time to explore Las Vegas. It was uneventful, but I was glad to see them. Jen and I are celebrating Christmas together. Christmas Eve by ourselves, then Christmas Day with her family. D'awww. Her mom AND grandma both invited me over, even though Jen had already invited me. And Jen's grandma is all concerned about me walking home in the dark and Jen's mom kissed my cheek and gave me a hug today. :3 At least SOMEONE'S family loves me. I am going to Jen's company Christmas party potluck tomorrow and omg, this damn rice pudding is CRUNCHY and no matter how much I cook or add milk, it won't soften so I think people will just have to deal. But apparantly my rice pudding kicks ASS. I found PORN at work. The other night I watched Hidden Awakenings and right now I am watching Lord of the G-String with Schmirnoff the Wizard and Dildo Saggings the Throbbit. Next time I think I'll get The Girl Who Shagged Me. And all is right with the world. (Comment on this)

1:18 pm	Soooooo my mom and sister, Angie, are showing up the weekend of my birthday. Now I have to de-gay my room and remove all signs that I have a healthy sex life. I am also not allowed to drink coffee, tea, or booze while they are here, and they are not allowed to even know about it. I also need to get rid of all evidence that I was a smoker. And I have to CLEAN the house. Uncool. Also, Jen would like to meet my mom, so I am silently debating if this is a good idea- and if we go through with it, do I tell my mom when she gets here? Or tell her in advance? I am actually very terrified. Almost as terrified as I am for meeting Jen's ENTIRE family for Thanksgiving. Ugh. THE HOLIDAYS ARE FULL OF DRAMA AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO ALL END!!!! (2 Comments |Comment on this)
