Here I Am, This Is Me

I don't know what it is about Pickles, but she always feels the need to be into something. She loves climbing into stuff, whether it be a box, a coat sleeve, a backpack, a dresser drawer...she insists on having a peek around. I was packing up some stuff to go to Brandy's and imagine my surprise when my backpack started wiggling and squirming around he couch.

Isn't she clean though? Her furr is really white. And she's incredibly soft.


The toilet saga continues. Landlord never showed up last night. At all. And I have an appointment tonight at 8, so I'm not sticking around for him this time. I don't want him in the apartment while I'm not there. Not that I think he'd steal or do anything. But I just don't want someone I hardly know in there. And there's the cats, they could get out. And he doesn't always take his boots off and I'm not on with that. I just did a huge cleaning and scrubbed the floors. I wouldn't be impressed to find his boot marks on my floors.

I have some news on the romance front. I'm a little befuddled about what I should do, really.

• Frank who's really cute. He's French (no, that's not a point against him in that sense) so sometimes it's hard to understand what he's driving at because his English isn't so hot. He's working on upgrading his math skills so that next year he can take the woodworking/cabnet making program at the college. He's pretty sweet, and he seems to think we would make a good couple. I think he would to (at this point anyways) since he's so friendly and such. Drawback is that he's a horn dog. Not entirely his fault, he is a guy, and guys are like that (mostly).

• Andrew who I have a lot in common with. We both dig WoW, we both like Anime (or at least some of the same ones). I drive (he likes that), he cooks (I like that)...he gets my jokes and apparently enjoys my sense of humour. We like some of the same tv shows, musically we're pretty close on that (he hates Country...but then I don't listen to a lot of it these days). Both of us like the same sorts of books, and he even plays D&D now and then. Drawback...sheesh I don't mean to sound shallow but...unemployed ATM and lives with his mom because of it.
  

• Andrew #2 who we'll call Mutches. He's funny and outgoing. Pretty cute. But he's a drinker and I think he does recreational drugs which I'm not down with at all.
  

• Greg. I really like Greg but he lives so damn far away. He's in Halifax going to University. He's smart, funny, interesting, we enjoy a lot of the same stuff and he's cute. But he lives really far away.

• Randy. I think he's just...as much as I care about him I'm not sure that can ever happen. No point spelling it all out, because I'd be here all day writing it and you'd be here all day reading it.

• Mystery doctor. I don't know anything about him really. He's in his late 20's early 30's. Wants to meet me. His specialty is the mind.

So...yeah. Doctors appointment tonight at 8, if I don't get a phone call this afternoon stating otherwise. Topics to discuss? My ongoing sinus problem. Allergy testing. My love life (the whole Keith thing, the whole several guys but totally unsure thing, etc), Abby. Just an update really. He likes to see me once a month, just to get an idea of where I am, what sort of mindset I'm in. I'm not ashamed of that. I was really depressed when I first started living here. It was mostly work related (one of my co-workers was harassing me daily) and home sickness.

CSI: Miami was really good last night. I enjoyed it. Heartbreaking episode about a killed Marine recruiter and a murdered Marine. The most moving scene was when Alex was undressing and washing the Marine. It hits really close to home as two more Canadian soldiers died in the line of duty. My thoughts are with their families. One of the men was from not far from here, and both of them stationed at CFB Petawawa where I grew up.

Here's hoping I'll feel better as the day continues.
