Ice Planet

I cannot express how utterly excited I am by the prospect of making real, honest to God ICE PLANET! I found this most wonderful, glorious link today: The Trouble with Ice Planet. Go look!

Klepto

"Kleptomania (also spelled cleptomania) (Greek: κλέπτειν, kleptein, "to steal", μανία, "mania") is the condition of not being able to resist the urge to collect or hoard things."

My roommate is not a klepto. She's a thief. Before, I believed her little antics to be humorous - a mere "Fuck you!" to The Man. I understand stealing odds and ends from Walmart or Kmart or other monopolies. I myself have shoplifted a couple of items; all you have to do is take off the barcode. But when I take her to my favorite cafe/shop of all time, tell her it's my favorite place to come and chill and I'll always be found there when I visit Lexington, she still goes and steals a necklace from the front.

It deeply wounds my soul to be so deceived. I assumed she had some morals, some values when it came to her relieving a store of a few bits and bobs. I thought that perhaps she only stole from those who didn't need the money, those who wouldn't miss a little something here or there, those who were not useful to society or honorable in business. But no. She stole from the most loving, community-oriented, down-to-earth, trusting coffee shop in existence.

She is not a kleptomaniac. It's premeditated.

I find it despicable.

How do I tell her?

Renew, Reuse, Redesign

I have updated the look of my site. And hopefully I'll update the content as well. We shall see.

Good to Change

So quite a few considerable things have changed in my life:

1.) Jay and I have ended our relationship after 6 years.

2.) I am in love with a multi-talented and wonderous Spaniard who's halfway across the world.

3.) I spent 6 months in England from January to June at a theatre college right outside of London.

4.) I have reunited with Betsy.

There will be more about this in the future.

I'm going to go move my furniture now.
