i bite my lip, i scratch my nose

well, that about sums up how i've been spending the last few months....
living in victoria is wasting time that happens to be moving supremely
slow, following the stuttering hands of an island clock.
painting, working, laughing, dancing, drinking wine and sleeping with
men and cats.

i am currently living with two wonderful humans, and sharing a home
with them deserves it's own epic graphic novel. battling with the
energy seeping downstairs from the glass-heads that live above us,
talking with ghosts until four am, sneezing from all the cigarette
smoke and making schedules as to who gets the bed for a one-night
stand (ha! not that steve has to worry - lucky bastard has his own
room! ... and a wonderful sanctuary he's built in there). it is quite
a hilarious experience sharing all of one's space - bed, closet,
Everything - with a woman whom i absolutely love dearly right down to
the very core of her existence..... but am not romantically involved
with. by all definition, we should be! *sigh* the woes of being
straight. needless to say, it's been interesting and i will remember
this time with much fondness until the end of my days.

i know i've been promising pictures from my travels this summer, and
i tried a few times to throw some up here, but it's not working right
now, soooooooooooooo you're gunna have to wait!
