don't mess with the bull, young man. you'll get the horns.
i don't have a lot to say. work has been really busy. the good thing is that it's "busy" but not due to testing. that's busy and exhausting.
i've been having some interesting dreams lately. i think under stress my dreams get more vivid and interesting.
andy and i have been trying to plan what we're gonna do for our 1st anniversary. it's odd that it's already been a year. i was getting suggestions for a restaurant from toto and i think i've found the place. i'm planning dinner and andy is supposed to be planning something we can do. our first year of marriage has been great. extremely minor snafus, but all in all, it has been everything i expected and maybe a little better. no different than before, only better. mostly in the sense of people have stopped asking "when are you getting married?" (although now they all get to ask when we're having babies), we get to share medical insurance, we got a tax break and filed together for our taxes this year, our car insurance is cheaper, and just all kinds of things that get less complicated once you get that marriage certificate. that makes me think how crappy it is that same-sex relationships CAN'T move into that territory to take advantage of the same things. oh, if i could teach the world (to be in thug and harmony). but yes, being married definitely has it's advantages. i don't have any disadvantages, but these past several years (i won't say all NINE years that we were together because it's not true) have felt like we were married, so i haven't had that "i'm not SINGLE anymore" feeling for a long time. ah, my reflections on my marriage....
it is SO time to leave work now.
