I haven't posted in 4 years?  Really?  Wow.  I don't know if I will be back permanently, but I know that I might like to be.  I have gotten married to Ethan and had a son in the intervening years, so I am busy. But my life is still a big old mess and I am still trying to figure a lot of the same things out. Sad in a way, but I survive and carry on.  Now I sound like the British posters that are so popular!

I hope all of my LJ friends are doing well.  I am suffering from depression again.  I keep wondering when life will offer me some kind of drug that will help me and not cause me so many side effects.  I could go on forever, but I won't as it is really boring and looking back over my old entries, that is all I talk about.

I watched a German movie the other day and understood some of the words which is exciting.  Maybe Ethan should speak German to me all the time.  Immersion is best, really.

Found out over a month and a half ago that the fifty entries about Japan that I wrote are only marginally presented on the Kennedy Center web site.  Search for such things at www.kennedy-center.org

Or ask me to send them to you.

I've been reading a lot of novels lately. The Girls about conjoined twins in Canada. Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller. And now You Suck: A Love Story by Christopher Moore.

I just learned how to make some Shao Mai dim sum dumplings this weekend and we also made Jiaozis. Yum. And easy and fun.

Pudding Pops are back. I didn't know. But they are now made by the Good Humor people under the Popsicle name and the shape has changed. People are complaining all over the internet.

So friends, would you rather have your beloved Pops back in a different form or just rather not have them at all if they are not the same?

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.

You Are 63% Misanthropic

Here's the truth: Most people suck. You are just lucky enough to know it. You're not ready to go live alone in a cave - but you're getting there.

Tyra Banks looks like shit with that ash blonde wig! But I do not care if she is heavier. People stop obsessing over people's weight! The measure of a person is inside, not out. Get a grip!

Yeah, I complained about her wig, but I don't hate her for wearing an ill-conceived hairpiece. She could be a good, kind, very cool person, I have no idea.

But that wig? Just say no, Tyra.

I am still not married to my beloved. I am still poor. It has been suggested that my health might be worse because I in fact could have Narcolepsy but I couldn't sleep the night of my sleep test so now we don't know. And I had to drop out of a class that would've given me a part time job. Ugh.

On another front...My brother and his wife still suck and make hanging out with my very fun niece and nephew very difficult because said brother and the nap nazi are anal-retentive, control freaks.

On the fun front...I have a purple and silver Swatch. And um...dunno really. I sleep a lot. I think suggesting that I may have Narcolepsy has made me sleepy. Could I really be so suggestible. I always thought that Narcoleptics just fell asleep anywhere, but evidentally that is not true. You can just be tired and slightly sleepy. Of course I could just have sleep apnea.

Oh and I keep thinking that I might be pregnant. But somehow I never am when I think that.

Everyone is gone. How self-centered to think that people would wait around for me to come back or at least post once in a great while. Stupid. Silly.

I miss everyone. I am bad at keeping in touch with people.

I saw The Science of Sleep yesterday, finally, finally, finally. Yay!

I have been researching Shakespeare adaptations lately. Want to know about ballet, opera, plays and films that are based on the bard? See me.

Trying to plan a wedding ceremony on a very flimsy budget. Make me disheartened in some ways. I do not

I thought if I ever opened my own store, it should have my own crafts and then Japanese items--oh hell, just all manner of eclectic stuff.

And I would call it Playing Koi

Been watching the Sopranos on DVD like non-stop. I have a problem. Seasons 1 and 2.
