Ok, there are no flying monkeys. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
torchy and thoemeringue came over for dinner on Thursday night. It was a hell of a lot of fun. I met Torchy on the Bad Girl Swirl board, and have been talking to her for the better part of a year. I introduced her to Thoemeringue (who used to give me a lot of shit for the number of Swirlers I chatted with during the day…of course, that DID end up causing drama…one more in the right column for Eve). They hit it off really well, and so Torchy came up to stay with her for the weekend after a hellish conference in Miami.
Torchy is an awesome person, and one of my friends who likes me enough to not bullshit me and tell it to me straight when she thinks I’m doing something stupid. So are Thoemeringue and ross_winn. They were all here on Thursday. They decided to turn their attention on my behavior in the last few months.
It sucked. It was highly embarassing.
But they were right.
I’m not going to solve anything with sex, and I’m not making myself any happier by having the meaningless kind.
I think I’m done for a while.
I gave up the alcohol. Bought wine for Thursday night. Had none. Went to the Castle last night with depotmode. Drank a Red Bull. Danced my bald ass off. Saw Patti/Trish. Met some friends of Chris’ who I know I’ve met somewhere before (help me out gang…anyone in the Rennie crowd named Andy who has an older husband named Steve? Really cool gothy girl who lives in New Port Richey?). Remembered that is is ok to go out and not drink.
So I can give up meaningless sex and the pursuit of it.
I think.
Maybe I need to get that book from Misha.
Ok, so anyway…
I got an email from a friend who recently discovered my journal, found something I wrote about her, and took great offense at it. I’m incredibly bummed out about this. For one, the context of what I wrote is not the way she interpreted it, but I didn’t really make that abundantly clear in the posting. I also made some assumptions about my readers (that they knew certain facts about her) that are not necessarily the case, and thus would make her look much worse than the actually is. I’d get more specific, but I think the sheer fact that I wrote about her at all was also an issue. I wrote her back. Apologized. Explained what I meant when I said what I said. Haven’t heard back from her.
And thus, the “Live Journal is Evil” theory has more evidence thrown in to support it.
I’m a jobless bum this weekend, and I’m acting like it. Fair warning. Nothing will be accomplished between now and Sunday night.
Oh, except for laundry…and I have to change my sheets out and wash them…do some dishes…DAMNIT
Alright. Now. I went to see X-Men 2 with depotmode, dawaioser, donwaughesq and Laura (my roommate’s co-worker). ross_winn and his son John were supposed to go, but he got called in to work. I tried really hard to convince John to stay with me to see the movie, but he wanted his dad to stay. He was not accepting the “go home, or stay here with Mike” choice. The ONLY choice in John’s world was “Dad stays and we all see the movie.” Which I honestly would have preferred myself, but I understand why he left. Still, it absolutely broke my heart to see John crying as Ross walked away with him. Can’t imagine it was any easier for him.
Sometimes being a parent and making the firm decisions really sucks ass.
Due to an emergency with a friend, Ross brought John over here to sleep on Thursday night. I thought he would pick him up and take him home when he was done, but when I woke up on Friday they were both sleeping in Alex’s bed. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen in my life. I took pictures of it for hel_ana. They didn’t come out so hot, but the general purpose of my taking them was achieved (she got to see her two favorite men in a completely natural setting, at the exact moment that they were in it).
I am now going to put my thoughts on X-Men 2 in my journal. These thoughts are going to be laced with fan-boy orgasms and HUGE spoilers for not only this move but quite possibly the next one. If you haven’t seen this one, and want NO clue as to what is going to happen in the next one, do NOT look behind the cut.
