i guess that’s my primary emotion at this time. i have more than a dozen mosquito bites ON EACH LEG, and that’s just FROM THE KNEE DOWN. that about sums up camping. of course it doesn’t really, but i have no energy/time right now to write much more. i’m typing this on...

i’m about to head to the fair. in that last entry, i meant to say that when i’m giving massages TODAY, i’m going to accept proposals. i just got an e-mail asking if i’d accept e-mail proposals. and i said NO WAY, of course…i’m not going to accept a proposal from...

when i am giving massages at the fair, if a man asks me to go home with him, or marry him, i’m going to say yes. so perhaps you won’t hear from me for a while because i’ll be riding in someone’s extra-wide pickup truck, down to some farm in the middle of nowhere, with...

i just got my hair done (more blonde, lots of stripes, very very hip and chic looking), and i’ve had some caffeine and some chocolate, so i’m pretty wired at the moment. i’m going to have to calm right down soon, because i have a few massages to give this afternoon,...
