Yes Im here. Alive and...welll....maybe well. Eh..such is life. But no...I'm not watching you masturbate...some jackbag wanted me to do that...sorry...notintoitthanks.
Anywho....
Its now approaching the end of the calendar year and what have we learned this year kids? Life is a ride, wear knee pads. Yes...knee pads. I still have knee problems when it rains...so you bitches...take care of your knees or you'll be able to predict the average rainfall better than those Ph.D's on Channel 11 (Too Tall Tom...a Doctor???...haaaaaaaaaaaa!)
As for me, I'll be working on my weak ankles when the clock turns to 07.
Lets recap since my last post. Which was depressing.
My grandfather, a brave strong man, and one of the most important people in my life...passed away November 16th, 8 days into his 81st year. It was a very difficult two weeks here at home and before Thanksgiving and it wont be a thrilling Christmas (again...sigh), but I tell ya what....I have an angel on my shoulder watching me everyday until we meet again. He is a good man, gave me everything I have, and he's in a safe place. After a year of struggles and essentially mourning him for a very long time, peace is coming to us all.
Finished my 4th semester of grad school with all A's. Hooray! What a bitch though...again, with everything else outside of school, I am surprised. I worked my ass off though, despite everything and I deserve it. Safe to say, the only time I'm really going to brag it up (because successful people dont need to brag), is now. So there ya go....I'm a genius...haaaaaaaaaaa!! Just kidding.
And with that, I have registered for my FINAL...yes FINAL semester of my graduate education and will be starting January 8th. Final day is April 27th. Countdown to follow soon...
Internship...aah what can I say. Honestly, its been a real test and a wild ride. I really cant talk about it here...confidentiality and the risk involved. Lets just say...its been a learning experience (that was so cliche...)
I'm really blessed with a lot of good friends. Some have been there, some havent recently but they are thought of all the time. I hope to see some of my NoDak friends while I'm home here.
Speaking of...Amtrak is such a bitch. I'm telling ya....only a flying phobia as strong as mine could justify the asshats I've dealt with the last 3 trips home, in 3 months. October---32 hours round trip. November---19 hours round trip. December---13 hours and counting....good goddamn. And guess what....I'll be doing it again in February and March!! Hooraay!! I cant wait. I've made lots of "Train Friends" and used my "Angry Eyes" many a times (shout out to Em--miss ya dear!!). I swear to God I'm the only normal one on that train. I need to start using acid or something....good lord....
I'm super excited beyond words because tomorrow at 10pm my CanadiEn will be arriving in NoDak for 8 days!! Havent seen him since I left him at the Toronto airport August 13th. 4 months is a long damn time to go without him and like everything else, its been a challenge. We dont have much planned really which is how we like it. Christmas in the Magic City, his birthday is the 26th and we might be spending New Years with J. Hans and her hubby EarAche. My dad's birthday is New Years Eve too, so we might do lunch with him. Just lots of quality time together.
And then...we'll likely be on our longest separation yet...5 months. Let the bitching commence January 4th. 5 months folks...thats a long damn time to be without tail. I might need someone to hold my hand and preoccupy me. I'll be twitching by mid-April, just before finals. NOT a good place to be, people...not a good thing at all. Ah well...at least I wont have to shave my legs for awhile. Well..maybe for the firemen.
At some point, I will post something about my train experiences. I've got a few good stories.
And...along with taking care of your knees....lose some weight this year. Or at least get healthy. Dooo it!! It'll be better for you and me later in life.
Hooray I posted an update. I promise to be more faithful to my blog in 07.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Current Readings: Helter Skelter by Bugliosi Lolita by Nabokov, The Glass Castle by Walls, Anna Karenina (Still..yes!!) by Tolstoy and The Divine Comedy by Dante (yes...Im a masochist...)
(Can you believe I can still read this shit AND my texts? Me neither...yes...I'm a masochist...)
Music: Jackson Browne, Dave, Duke Ellington, SexyBack (dont ask, Im not sure...but "I'll let you whip me if I misbehave" lyric of the year!) Miles Davis, Our Lady Peace and that new Josh Turner diddy "Would You Go With Me." I cant wait to two step to that one at our wedding.
NY Resolutions: Lose weight, stop chewing my nails, get an income again, and learn more about my spiritual self. Pretty sure that #2 wont happen...I've been working on that one for 25 years now...
Au Revoir!!
