august 1, 2001. Despite yesterday's cranky entry of crankiness, I'd like to assure y'all that my life overall is quite splendid at the moment. The Boy is off in New Brunswick and won't be back until Thursday, but Dirk is here and Dirk is just as good (in an entirely different way, of course). I hadn't realized how lonely I could be here until I discovered the relief of coming home to a populated house every night. And what's great about Dirk being here is that we're comfortable enough with each other to lounge around in our underwear or say 'I'm going to bed now' without worrying about giving offence...and yet, his presence is still new and exciting and we can have several interesting conversations a day and see fun places and so on. Life is shiny-fresh, but also laid-back. I'm having a great time. this time 4 years ago: the point where i tell people to shove it this month's font comes from the font diner, and superboy belongs to havana street. swoosh!
