It probably was a mistake to write my letter to Melanie first thing at work (I got here early), because now I feel all distracted and overly emotional. On my lunch break I'm going to go to Walgreens and buy some things to put in her package -- maybe a Pez dispenser, batteries, and what ever else fun things are found at a drugstore. I guess by posting this I run the risk of her reading this in advance, but I don't think she'll have good internet access until next week when she's working in the office -- so I'll take advantage of the delay!

I watched some of my movies last night. I only got to the first Nina Hartley movie (I saved them for last because I figured they'd probably be the best), and it was fairly interesting and fascinating, especially in a sociology of sexuality sort of way. Basically, she does these "how-to" videos that obviously include concrete physical tips, but she also spends about 30 minutes just talking about what she thinks about sexuality and perceptions and what not. Some of it is obviously two-sex centered, and even hetero-centered, but not entirely. But then again, it's geared toward hetero men and women and their sexuality, at least these first 2 videos. So it's not like she's claiming to be a video geared for everyone. I'm curious to see how the other videos turn out, but I also want to watch them with a certain someone. Maybe I'll just watch them twice.

INTERRUPTION!!! I'm talking on the phone with Melanie. Yay!! I'm so happy....I'll type more later.

dumbass

So I meant to post my letter to Melanie as "private" but instead I posted it as "friends". Doh! But it's all good now. For those who happened to catch it, well, lucky you. Or something.

Anyway, I talked to Melanie for like 20 minutes which was grand. She's sending me a package today too! It's a pre-birthday package -- she said my actual gift she has to buy online and will be sent later. I'm quite excited. She's hoping to be more e-mail accessible soon, which will be nice.

Ok, I REALLY need to get to work. I've only accomplished a third of what I was planning to do this morning. I must crack the whip on myself. Though not in a fun way. (don't judge, as Joe would say)

Since I'm on hold with conference call service, I'll post what I have so far....

ATTENTION -- DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY START FILLING THIS OUT, YOU MINDLESS LJ DRONES! tee-hee. This is for revision purposes. Please make suggestions for additional questions! Formatting will come later.

The day is slowly creeping to an end.....
I mailed off Melanie's care package, as well as some bills. I hope I have enough cash in my account for them all to clear. I really need a better budget.

I have nothing else to write, but I was hoping constructing an LJ post would help time pass more quickly. Argh.
