A moment from work - I've been at work since 8am, and it looks like I'll be here late tonight and tomorrow. Oh well; overtime is good. I'm hoping I can get a car within the next 6 weeks, especially because Gateway is moving to Poway in a few weeks.

Troy picked me up from work yesterday; as usual, he was a bitch about it, but even more so now since his power-steering fluid flows out of his car. Troy's gone through 3 bottles of the stuff in the last 5 days or so. Anyway, it makes for interesting conversation.

Also, Troy has announced his intentions to go sober *humming* "How dry I am...how dry I am." I completely support his decision; I recommended he watch the indie flick "Drunks" with my most favorite actress Parker Posey. Yes, it sounds really bitchy to suggest a movie titled "Drunks," but it's a great movie about AA and how it's worked for people, and how someone who has been sober for several years falls off the wagon, so to speak, and after a night of debauchery comes back to the flock. Completely fiction - the storyline, not the worthiness of AA.

I mentioned to Troy information from an article I read about AA. There are different degrees of sobriety, one doesn't necessarily have to go cold turkey. Some people are able to drink socially and in moderation, others can't touch a cocktail without relapsing, but the author suggests that the person who is battling alcoholism sould do it more on his terms than from a "list" or other structured motus operandi. I agree; some methods may not work on all people, and depending on the severity of one's dependency, I guess one is able to make a judgment on how to clean up his act. Granted, this is of course once the person has admitted he has a problem.I don't have a problem, you have the problem. You don't accept me for who I am!"

I also went online to The Center to find out about counselling services they may provide. I found a lot of different gettogethers and soirees and whatnot that sound interesting; I've volunteered to help out at this gala festival in downtown SD sometime in October. It sounds really exciting, and since I had a great time volunteering at Gay Pride this year, I'm looking forward to this.

I get really worried when I find a blog that hasn't been updated in months; I've found a few that haven't been updated in over a year! It makes me concerned about the whereabouts and safety of the owner. Is he or she okay/forget the password to log on? I hope nothing is wrong.
