Hey! I was thinking the other day that I haven't heard from you in a long time. Hope everything is good for you. :)

DUDE.

Aside from the never having a moment to screw around online, things are pretty much great. The job is occasionally frustrating, but often relatively enjoyable for office work. The relationship continues unabated (a year in October). Moving to a nice new little apartment in a fun neighborhood in about a week and a half - I'm currently in the process of re-painting all the furniture to match a pre-determined color-scheme.

YOU'VE BEEN DOMESITCATED

are you calling him a house pet?

@TWIGBy: See, it sounds bad when you say it.

Yes, Bustie no longer goes on the carpet. We're all very proud.

Hey, I did some math and I think I'm up to ~9 hours a week of dance.

Doing really great! I've been run/walking 2.5 miles EVERY NIGHT at midnight! It's really fun. I go with my guitar teach and his boss and a group of their friends. It's exciting to have local friends to hang out with. I love you all in SF but I was getting kinda lonely out here.

*hugs for everyone*

Simianus ignis domesticus.

(Yep, totally pictured that appearing under Bustie as he freeze-framed, like the old Roadrunner cartoons.)

Oh and to answer your question, I'm a bear now. AN AMERICAN BEAR.

But also still a hot dog.

DID SOMEONE SAY HOT BEAR DOG?

Sounds like gay prawn to me.

If I wasn't already an AMERICAN BEAR, I might change my name to GAY PRAWN.

is that like a happy shrimp?!

I'LL BE A GAY PRAWN.

I went a more subtle route.

mo prawny mo problems?

mo is short for homo, homo.

(My apologies to Bustie for the threadjacking.)

@mo prawn I learned that from the audio commentary for the Clerks cartoon. Thanks, Kevin Smith!*

* Serious friend of BEARS.

What in the eff?

Apparently this is actually the Year of the Bear.

Or the Bear-Prawn. Which, come to think of it, is just a bear-spider that lives in the water.

@Bustie SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME BACK?!?

@-j. Year of the AMERICAN BEAR HOT DOG.

@Mace: Duly noted.

@mo prawn - DUH.

i'm a hater.
