Again with the whining
Ok, admission time: I still have not been sleeping well (uh, can you tell?). I've got some soreness in my neck and back. I did get about 7 hours last night, but not quality. I'm tired of this nonsense, so I'm loathe to admit that I have a problem. But I suppose I do.

Girls and Boys, the Gender Bias
You know I really try to make a point of equal treatment, but my blog reading is skewed. I mostly read blogs written by females. There are very few male-written blogs that appeal to me. I thought I had found another, but after reading about 3 weeks worth of entries realized that it was written by a female. Just as I observed that most of my friends before getting married were girls, now I observe that most of the people I want to spend time with, or want to communicate with, or want to read the the blogs of are... girls. Or women. BTW, can someone give me a good definition - why are some women girls to me, and some girls women to me?

Work
Yes, I'm still working as much as I can...

Internet
My primary ISP is driving me nuts... for the last week I've had problems with my Internet connection, supposedly due to "one day upgrades". Grrr....

Mice
There is still scrabbling... in the middle of the night. Grrr... :-)

Readers
Blogging is my replacement for song-writing. A medium, an outlet. In some ways it's more satisfying. As much as I love music, it makes me feel better to know that someone is interested enough to drop by and read this blog regularly. Heck, if someone comes back a second time, it makes me happy. Yay, someone cares! (dancing in my kitchen)

At some point I will bore the death out of everyone, have no readers, and then I don't know what I will use to validate myself. :-)

Dating
I should be, but I'm not. I'm not cutting myself off, I'm chatting with people once in awhile, but I have no immediate plans for going on a date with anyone. I'm waiting, I suppose. I had such good luck there for a stretch, and now that I've tried the one date-for-the-sake-of-being-on-a-date date...I just want to be with the right person on the next date.

The only problem is... it can mess me up a bit when I hook up with the wrong person when I don't realize that they are the wrong person. I'm a little scared now, I suppose. (snort) Ok, like I wasn't always scared. There's a reason I have to have rules and regulations for my life.

Bam!
Back to work for me here... enough proselytizing!
