She gone from outside of me, but she's not gone from inside of me...

Well, I put Allison back on a plane to LA this morning. *sigh* I just got back home and my place seems so quiet now, no laughter filling it up. Oh well, we will be together again, for the moment we have our lives to lead, and that only seems to strengthen our love.

10:10 am - Gosh, let me rave about this little Mivo Mail Station for a second. My writing is pretty messy, and my hand cramps up easily so when ever I have an idea sometime it gets away for simple lack of not writing it down... Muhahaha! Not any more! I can feel myself returning to writing daily entries, because it takes about 3 seconds to "boot" up (if you can use that term for something which only has 384 K of memory) and I can translate my thoughts from mind onto screen. Mind you, they're not any more coherent, but I guess that's where editing comes in. Anyway, I'm at work, the liquid nitrogen won't be here till about noon, so I'm just getting stuff set up. I also posted my last half-dozen entries on the web, though there is an empty space between the 20th December and about 3rd January, because I wasn't at work a lot of the time, and I had company to entertain. ;)
It's interesting, it feels like that now that I have the means to record my words, that they are spilling out of me in a flood. I'm searching out people to write too, so I can say Hi and just enjoy writing.

Well, today was my offical University orientation. It was Ok I guess, nothing dramatic, I found out about health insurance, safety issues and so forth. It was better than yesterday afternoon when I had to do battle with the University medical red-tape, I'm hoping that when I try again tomorrow it will be easier.
Today was also Illara's birthday, so I called her up to wish her the best. She was taking it fairly low-key as she usually does, as she was out hitting the temp agencies, which meant that it was a rare occurance where we were both wearing skirts.
