I set up an account at open-diary cuz it lets me not receive notes/comments. I know this may sound funny to some folks, but while I love sharing my writing, I don’t want to discuss it or make “friends.” I don’t know, I’ve just never been overly sociable. I do have a few cyber friends who are way cool, but a few are enough for me. Yet at the same time, the thought of people reading my journal is kind of amusing. Even so, if someone doesn’t agree with me when I say I don’t see how abortion is murder, I don’t want to hear it. After all, opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s got one!

OpenDiary isn’t as complicated as LJ, but it’s not as simple as my-diary. I like how I can use their colorful abstract backgrounds or insert my own background images, though they’re the same for all the entries, unlike on Kiwi where I can make different entries in different colors.

Tom was up early today and when I got up at 1pm, he told me Jesse had been down on the ATV at 7:30. I was both shocked at the fact that I slept through it, as well as by how rude that was of him to come down that early, but Tom insisted he was very quiet.

I’ve never known that ATV to be all that quiet, so unless he did something to make it quieter, I’m really amazed I slept through it with the way sound vibrates through these flimsy trailer walls so easily. It sort of reverberates off the mountainside and underneath the place, but no, the ATV isn’t as loud as the motorcycle, it’s just that it doesn’t take much sound to be heard in here. That’s why I started turning up the sound machine when I’m on nights, and I guess it’s paid off. I doubt I’ll sleep through tomorrow’s propane visit, though, cuz that’s a big truck and it’s also going to be here for a few minutes.

I wonder if Jesse’s working this week. If not, I’m sure he’ll be down for whatever and that we’ll have to hear the motorcycle at some point, too. I know one thing for sure and that’s that I’m really enjoying the peace from the dogs, cuz I know it’s just a matter of time before the barking is an issue again, armed with the magic words or not. Until then, it’s so nice to be able to not have fans, music, and sound machines going to drown the damn things out.

I noticed something strange about my weight. I seem to lose more in my sleep when I sleep at night versus during the day. Because I’m getting slammed with water with my period right around the corner, I didn’t even sleep off half a pound. I just hope that having bread for the next couple of weeks isn’t gonna foul things up because bread is usually not a good diet food. It’s just that sandwiches make a cheap lunch, and lately we’ve been getting two weeks’ worth of groceries since he gets paid bi-weekly. Well, I’ll find out about the bread once I get my period. It really sucked to have slept off so little too, cuz I only had around 1000 calories or less yesterday yet because I slept off so little I was actually up two-tenths of a pound – argh! I’m certain, however, that had I slept at night and not been so watery, I’d have hit the 125-pound marker.
