I think learning to play with myself and enjoy my own company is the first step to being able to be playful with others, and being someone whose company they will enjoy! (e.g., I think a good part of why my attitude has improved is that I have had to become someone who could cheer myself up. (Before I relied on my friends to cheer me up when I was down, but here I have been forced to cheer myself up. (I got tired of being around myself when I was down, so I have changed.) (I still get down sometimes, but not as often, for as long, or as intensely as I once did!)))
(1pm) Time for a typing break.
Isn't the person who is very anti-drugs as wrong as the person who is very pro-drugs? (Isn't the answer to blend them into life in constructive ways, and avoid extremes?)
(6pm) Time for a typing break.
(7pm) I splurged on some generic beer. (I deserve a treat.)
(10pm) Enough typing for today.

(8am) Last nite's "20/20" had another piece on Aids. (If I wait for money to start f'ing around, it may be just as well that I am too old for much sex. (It sounds like, by then, a sizable portion of the population will have Aids.)) (Sexual monogamy is looking wiser, but I doubt it will make much difference. (People are going to f around, regardless.))
(1pm) Typing break. (I love Word Perfect!)
(3pm) Nice workout.
(4pm) I got a letter from Hunter today. (He has been transferred to a new port, about half an hour from Santa Barbara, so he is going to go over and say hi to Carrie. (That should be interesting.))
Well it's raining, so no sun tanning; and it's lightning, so no typing. (I needed a break.)
(9pm) Erica dropped by for a visit, and gave me some diskettes and cookies. (And a little money for a bottle.) (She is such a sweetheart. (I hope she keeps dropping in and brightening up my weeks.))
I finished loading all of "Outlaws and Poets", that I had typed up already, into the computer. (Yeah!)

(Midnite) Quiet nite. (Nice.)
(11am) Laundry time.
(1pm) I walked down to the liquor store and picked up a pint of VO, and then I stopped and got some chips. (I think I will do shrooms tonite and let loose a little.)
