V-day

I was bracing for today to be a supremely sucky day. In fact I spent a good deal of the morning crying. But then my day really turned around. I got a gift from my mother’s not-lesbian not-lover, an Ugly Doll named Minimum Wage, she said it reminded her of my job picking up garbage on the beach this summer.

That was nice and I now have a stuffed animal to squish on. Yay! Also I went to the gym and ran for 30 minutes, so I feel good. Got laundry done and showered and am almost done with my plan for study abroad aplications. I jsut need the head of the psych department to sign my papers and I’m done!

Also I got a letter from the Red Cross today, they are stalking me, they want my platelets! My only qualm with the Red Cross is the archaic ban from gay men to donate blood… normally in a situation like this I’d avoid the institution but many gay men have expressed that what they want most is for people to donate more, to make up for those who cannot give because people need the blood. I always feel good when I donate… I also wonder if that cold tingly feeling is what it would feel like to be drained by a vampire… Aria’s coming over to watch Buffy so I’m in a very vampy state of mind.

I also got to talk to E for like… half an hour which makes me as always very happy. And now I venture out on a little jaunt to pick up dinner and browse that adult store… just to look.
