A weekend in strange places...

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Again with the ringing ears...
No other details are available because well, the more I tell them the more of a tall tale they become and I would like this to be real. I will, of course, try to keep you posted.
I am very sleepy so it's off to bed. I just wanted to post that while I was still in the moment.

No triskadeskaphobia here...
So here we are Friday the 13th.
The big day for going out to see some bands at Canal Street.
Flyaway Minion and Murder Your Darlings
Who's going?
Funny you should ask! Moi and Lynnie Mae and Rita and me Mama. This should be interesting.
I'm kind of torn on what to wear. Too cold for skirts and dresses and really Canal Street has never struck me as place to dress girly, even though I always hold it with the reverence of going to church. I don't want to just go as I am, I just don't know how much attention I want to attract tonight. I think I am just going to change my shirt from this okay green shirt to a much better pink velour number 'cuz it matches my gymmers and it's supposed to get colder and I don't feel like putting on different shoes.
I just hope everyone has a good time, and that the snow waits 'till after we're home.

Almost Friday!
I don't feel like writing today, so today's message for my flock comes from The Wedding Crashers. Personal opinion, it's one of the better scenes of that movie.
Janice: No, you're really sweet. I've got the perfect girl for you.
Jeremy: Ahh...Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested, I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested, but I'm not that interested, but I think she might be interested, but do I want to be interested, but now she's not interested, so now all of a sudden I'm getting...I'm started to get interested. And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door 'cause then it's awkward? It's like, well, goodnight. Do you do like the ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug eachother like this and the ass sticks out because you're trying not to get too close or just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while your just really want to know are we going to get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions. And perhaps play a little game called just a tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels or ouch ouch you're on my hair.
Janice: Okay...
If you've not seen the movie, you're missing some good mindless fun. It's got some good stuff in it. Last weekend was like Owen Wilson weekend at our hourse. We watched Wedding Crashers, Meet the Parents, and Meet the Fockers.
Laughing is good.
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and Saturday is the full moon, I think that speaks for itself.

C'mon get happy...
My horoscope for the day...
Libra on Wednesday Jan 11, 2006:
Being outspoken may get you into trouble but,
once the dust has settled, you will be able to go
about your business clear of mind and feeling much
better about your future. Don't let anyone who
challenges you get away with cheap shots.
Me, speak my mind, get me in trouble. Um, that's like daily so uh wow what's new.
Well, nice of you to ask. I slept a little better last night. Two nights in a row, yippee!! I had an email about a Hospital Reimbursement Analyst position that I am contemplating answering, even tho it is in Cincy. I think I am going to take Spring Break off with the plan of being somewhere new-ish by June.
As I was laying in bed last night, I was thinking about Rebel's comments. I realized that sometimes when you are looking for something you have to dump out the entire drawer. So, I think I'm going to start emptying drawers. I usually shy away from that because I don't want to do something that would cause undue stress on the kid, but you know since I am controlling the drawers, it would be different. Not like some of the things I have been trying to avoid her ever having to experience, other people pulled those drawers.
I think I am up to three people coming with me to Friday! I'm not so much excited as I had been, a little nervous more than anything. I don't know, putting people together is always a little nerve-wracking. Especially when it looks like you are going to be the driver, and you know you won't want to leave early.

It's merely a flesh wound...
DEEP DEEP BREATH.
Maybe Wilco said it best when they said, "Distance has no way of making love understandable."
'cuz you know what -- should I even tell you-- no, no, I don't need anymore grief. But I would you know. In heartbeat. I don't care what anyone says...
It's one of those things, yeah, maybe if I had someone else in my life right now it would be different. But I don't and to find something comparable is going to take awhile. It took a long time to find him.
I don't know. More deep breathing and a little more crying at the sick ironies of my life, I'll be alright.
On the upside, he doesn't hate me. I just wish I could say the same about myself.
Flyaway Minion Friday hopefully that'll make me feel better.
Looks like somebody has a case of the Mondays
None of the ones that mattered mattered, then the one that did not matter did. If it had been one that mattered, I would have been prepared.
Maybe I am the problem with me.
Maybe Jess is right, the answer is just stop giving a shit about everything.
I can't though.
I am always inclined to think that everything has a purpose, a reason.
Maybe the reason has always been just to drive me nuts.
I wish it would have been one of the ones that mattered.
Maybe then I could have actually fixed everything.

I don't like Mondays...
Well, my first thought was to talk about how sick I am of hearing about other people getting married because my friend in Colorado is doing so next month. I'm glad for her, but it still sometimes hard to take.
But there are bigger issues to contend with this morning. See, as you all maybe be aware I am crazy about the band Flyaway Minion. You also may be aware that I used to have my fancy pants rock 'n roll boyfriend. So, being the band whore that I can be, I sent Rob an email tell him to catch them next time they are in Cincy.
For the first time in 8 months, I got a response. It's like my heart breaking all over again.
I know I have said some things in blog that paint a horrible picture, but the blog is not the full story of my life.
So, do I go have a nice cry tonight and probably tomorrow and pretend it didn't happen. Or (and this is what I really want to do) fully torture myself by responding to what he said and saying exactly what I feel.
I have chest pain, a lump in my throat, and kind of wish that I could go home.
I still get sick of hearing everyone is getting married...but maybe that's because I screwed up my chance.
