And the final score is...
Jul. 1st, 2004 05:29 pm25 hours of vacation payout. Yep, that about covers the watch and a few new clothes for the new job. And we now return to some version of our usual budget. :)
I just thought of an interesting topic of conversation: what's so good it scares you? Is there anything you've barely tasted, or are afraid to taste, because it might take you over?
I am afraid to live in Manhattan, for example. All that power in one place is like a freakin' drug, and as it is I can only name 4 places on earth I can be sure I could live happily. If I ever once live in Manhattan I fear I could never live anywhere else.
I might also list the S&M scene, which it's far better I not think about since I value, really value, quite a few things that are not compatible with that. And my friend who very wisely doesn't drink because his whole family is alcoholic and he knows it's in his genes. And... but enough from me, tell me what's in your head. :)

Date: 2004-07-01 03:41 pm (UTC)I think sometimes 'love' scares me. I remember declaring it and feeling on top of the world. I also remember plummeling back down to the earth afterwards never wanting to feel that much pain again.
As for things that actually scare me, I'd probably say being left alone forever / not having people to care or care for. I like talking to people (as long as it's not on the phone, blah blah blah.. mushroom ear, ugh).
I rarely drink, so my gluttony is food. Chocolate, italian and melt-in-your-fucking-mouth prime ribs are probably my downfall. But, considering how much I weigh atm, I must not be too scared of that.
I'm also scared that I'm too perverted for a relationship, but I guess I figure as long as I haven't acted out on that perversion, no harm no foul. I doubt I'll find a sex partner on the same wavelength, that thought scares me sometimes.
Last, but not least... bills scare me, sometimes I feel overwhelmed and being physically impaired somehow (loss of limbs, etc).
There, if you ever wanted to torture me, you know how. ;)
