Now, I'm guilty of something I hope you never do

Strange as it may sound, I've been bonding well with Sophie in the past day or so. I think she's confused by my state of mind lately -- being home but feeling disconnected and not paying attention to her. She initially acted out a bit, between the sleeping far away and being randomly bark-y when I don't play with her toys the right way, but now she seems to be watching me more closely and following my lead. In the car, she's positively brilliant. Today she even communicated to me in a calm non-aggressive way that she really wanted to be left out so she could sleep in the chair and stay by the window all day, so I didn't crate her. Of course, all of this theorizing might get shot to hell when I go home and find something destroyed and the floor soiled, though (knock on wood) she's done nothing of the sort since I've returned from vacation.

I'm finding the desire to write more about my relationship with the dog, but I'll save that for another place.

I finally finally had dinner last night with herownsociety after many many promises of making it happen. I knew we would be true to our word, it's just hard when you're both busy people. I had a fabulous time, though I must confess a little while afterwards I felt a bit self-conscious and wondered if I was hypocritical when I rallied about people who talk in monologues since I can sometimes be a one-man show myself when I get excited. But hopefully she felt like we were dialoguing sufficiently.

At Nookie's we stopped by the table of freakysparks and KLV for a brief visit, and I commissioned Sparky to help me make money with my new computer by starting an online porn site that sells amateur DVDs I'll soon be able to burn. She suggested my website be called "Spraybear". Oh my. I was literally on the floor laughing.

At this time, I'd like to plug an event where I'll be tomorrow night. Stalk with care.

I definitely feel you on the energy thing. Sometimes it's a history thing too -- like you know how we were talking about people who ask you questions than their eyes start wandering and they seem completely bored and disinterested? I was thinking today about how a good friend of mine does the exact same thing, but it just amuses me. That's because I know her and don't take it personally and she's proven to me that she does actually hear what I'm saying, even if her eyes stray. So sometimes it's just about getting used to people's body language and behavior and not making assumptions.

I loved all the stuff we talked about last night! I rarely get to discuss such random things with people.
