Thank maude for nice neighbors

[moominmuppet]

The neighbors across the street have been living there since I was a little kid -- I have clear memories of playing with their daughters when I was eight or nine. They're the ones who notified us when Gramps was going downhill in ways he wasn't telling us, and they also took Mom and me out to the grocery store when I first got in so we had supplies for the week. Tonight they came over to spend some time with Gramps before he goes, and while the husband stayed and chatted with Gramps, the wife offered to take me out for a drive. So, I got to get out of the house for an hour or so, and drive along the coast, and enjoy looking out over the ocean, and at Catalina. We also stopped by the Wayfarer's Chapel for a quick look around. I was starting to wonder if I was even going to get a chance to see the ocean while I was out here, so that was a wonderful little drive, and much needed.

I also talked to Bec tonight, who's got Tarma and Leroy downstairs hanging out with her. Dogs are so funny -- I had her hold the phone up so I could talk at them for a minute or two. They were apparently deeply baffled, as always.

Also, it cheers me greatly that I'm at least temporarily pantsless. We're doing laundry, and Gramps has gone to bed, so I'm getting at least a bit of mostly nekkid time (still wearing a long t-shirt). Does wonders for my mood.

I'm starting to get sleepy, and I'm trying to stay on Eastern time, so I think I'll head to bed soon.

Also, if anyone's actually out there, write me, call me, comment... anything. Please. I'm indescribably bored and lonely the vast majority of the day, and any little one-line message makes me happy and means a lot.

It's amazing what a little self-naked time can do for ones mood.

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

Oh, no kidding! Hoorah for (even partial) nekkidness!

[ajollypyruvate]

I will call you tomorrow, I promise.

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[jen-tel.livejournal.com]

Please come home soon. The city misses you...as do I. :)

Counting the days!

I got your evite, but I haven't actually had a chance to go to the site and look at the dates, or dig out my calendar. I'll do so and reply soon, though.

I'm here. I'm working long hours and long weeks right now, but I'm here. :)

I haven't had too much to say lately, but I'm still reading, even if I'm doing all my LJ reading on alternate days now. :P

Hang in there. *waves*

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

That's been the case for me, too. It's kind of ironic that I'm begging for LJ interaction now, after several months of barely skimming and commenting myself due to work craziness.

I'm sorry you're so bored. It would be a good time to write that novel you'd always been meaning to write, if in actuality, you'd always been meaning to write a novel. Well, maybe some novel porn?

*hugs*

*chuckle* If only I had any fiction-writing skills whatsoever.

And if only this wasn't the church's computer, so I could site-wander a bit more freely. As it is, I'm not even going into posts from sexuality-related communities, because then the community name shows up in the URL in the history.

That is an *amazing* icon!

*grin* I love that one. It's from little_shinies.

A friend of mine was married in Wayfarer's Chapel. It's very beautiful, especially at night. It's good that you were able to get out of the house for a bit and see the ocean.

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

It really was gorgeous; I can imagine it's even better at night.

Another of the very nice neighbors just offered to take me out sometime today or tomorrow, so I may get one more escape from the house before I leave Sunday. Yay!

I'm here, but it looks like I caught your message at the wrong time of day. If by any chance you're on AIM it's compostwormbin.

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

Sadly no AIM on Dad's PC. Thanks for the comment, though!

[ethan-greer.livejournal.com]

Yo. You'll be home soon.

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can't wait!

[eris-esoteric.livejournal.com]

LOL at "deeply baffled"! Sorta describes my whole day.

You know that is one of my least favorite parts of going to hang out with my family: not being able to just be nekkid on the couch like I can at my house. I'm so much more comfortable that way! Society need to just get over that clothing/nudity thing it's got going on, if you ask me.

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

Oh, no kidding! Thankfully my immediate family, and most of the friends I visit on any regular basis, are cool with my clothing-optional ways, so this is something of a rarity in terms of travel experience for me.

And it's such a relief to finally be back!
