proposal - new day

primary news item 1:
ru55 officially proposed to his girlfriend this morning, which took me by pleasant and wonderful surprise ^_^
SxS and i being the first to know, we popped a bottle of champagne that just *happened* to be kosher for passover... that is an amazing coincidence!

primary news item 2:
(continuation) after an intense super-honest self-analytical session, i have come to the conclusion that all my problems stem from my self-passengerization. over the past few years i've been neglecting myself and just "gone with the flow" in order to get over the horrible periods, and now that i've been in a good place for over a year it's high time that i get back in the driver's seat, take charge of my life (and not just superficially) and come out fighting again.

i've sidelined myself, and now it's time to become me again.

secondary stuff:

sweeney todd is absolutely gorgeous!

i bought a bunch of chinese puzzles for the office, and spent quite a bit of time playing with them last night - i love the elegance, simple and shiny and oh-so frustrating :P

i got hit on by some 16/17 year old in jerusalem last night... i'm kinda flattered, but it was a tad unusual.

i presented a hand to a pet bunny, who was apparently a tad agitated by the heat and launched himself to snap at my finger, which i pulled away in the nick of time. rabbits can be frightening, and i'm really lucky my reflexes are good.
