Josh is getting into possessions. (And, it's causing a little strain between him and Julia. (She gets bent when he refers to her things as his all the time.) (He looks at their relationship as common law marriage, and she looks at it as "college roomies".)) (He is really into buying used records from the 60's and 70's. (He has several hundred now.)) (He has also collected two cars and two trucks now.)
Speaking of music I am still expanding my collection. (Neat.)
I sure have tons of studying to do. (This computer is neat, but now I have to learn how to use all the software.)
(3am) I think I have also been coming to terms a bit with my fear of rejection. (It doesn't seem to bug me as much or for as long as it used to.) (I still have a ways to go, but I think I will get there.)
(4pm) Cigs: I just can't seem to get comfortable in bars without them, and I have to spend a lot of time there for now, so I can find friends and clients. (And, maybe someday some lovers.) (I also get really nasty headaches from going to the bars, when I don't smoke.) (I can go and not smoke, but the craving is still there and my concentration is focused on fighting the urge to smoke, rather than on people.)
(11pm) I never did get back to sleep last nite, but I am feeling pretty good.
Samantha, Josh, and Julia stopped by and visited. (Carrie had given me the phone number of the bar she works at, so I called and we all took turns visiting with Carrie. (Twas nice hearing her voice again.))
Carrie says Hunter has been stationed up in Humboldt County, California, and that she is going to go visit him soon.
I am not sad about alone. (I am content.)
It has been really mild here the last two months, and mostly I have been wearing a light jacket; but winter came roaring back in today. (Brr!)
The economy here is sure deteriorating fast. (I am still thinking about the big cities as a way to make some bucks!)

(9pm) I am still having breakfasts with Chuck and Ron.
I finally worked up the nerve to ask Reggie out again, and we have a lunch date tomorrow.
After work I went down to the Cannery with Dave to meet Antonio. (Antonio got a job down in Phoenix and he flew up here for a week to close out all his affairs here.) (Antonio says all I would have to do in Phoenix is to go sit at the bar and wait, and I would get laid within a week. (It sounds tempting.)) (Nice evening.)
