Things

Oh my, she is going to try to get pregnant again -- and have a special blog for it. Pinch me.

I love Project Runway.

I was cleaning because my friend is coming over tomorrow but the dogs keep shedding! I can't win.

I feel really sick. :(

Hope you are doing well.

RE: The answer

That's what you want me to believe.

RE: The answer

Yer too smart for me to confuse you.

RE: The answer

You're confusing me, so stoppit.

RE: You sick yet?

Actually, I think Wireless Application Protocol is the official user of that acronym, but it never took off, so I guess the wireless community is commandeering it.

Oh, wow, that is rare.

RE: The answer

exactly

RE: You sick yet?

I knew what it was. I just wanted to know if you knew what it stood for.

Funny. I have some. Plenty. Good stuff.

RE: The answer

Or not.

RE: You sick yet?

Yes m'am.

Yours (and thanks for the wap)

RE: You sick yet?

Not as much of a geek as I thought ;)

Oh, you know what I'd really like right now? Really, some chocolate tea, but it is soooo hard to find.

RE: The answer

Good for you.

RE: You sick yet?

Oh, the WAP. Your welcome. Want anything to drink?

RE: You sick yet?

wireless access point

RE: You sick yet?

Wow, I like this control.

The wap?

RE: You sick yet?

Don't tell me what to do. I'm in control.

Your house or mine?

RE: You sick yet?

You better get some (more) rest.

I saw an old man walking in front of the house - he had bad posture.

RE: You sick yet?

Mm, hm. That's right, mister. Now get back to work.

RE: You sick yet?

Nothing, nevermind (arms crossed across chest)

RE: You sick yet?

What? I can't hear you. What?

RE: You sick yet?

No, it is your welcome (mumbling incoherently about editors).

RE: You sick yet?

You mean YOU'RE welcome.

RE: You sick yet?

Your welcome :)

RE: The answer

I'm thinking about it.

RE: You sick yet?

Just curious.

I just have a little cold. One evening of lying around should do it. I'll be fine, thanks.

RE: The answer

You are going to take the class?

The answer

Local yoga class avaialble

RE: You sick yet?

You trying to jinx me? No, I'm feeling okay, but the boy is sick. You feeling any better? I hope so.

You sick yet?

Sore throat? Cough? Sneezing? Hope not. :)

RE: Eh

Yeah, maybe, and I was up too late.

RE: Eh

Your tastes are too refined, probably.
Wow, you were up late, or early.

Eh

Okay, I watched some Pee Wee's Playhouse, but I still don't get it.

Tuesday, August 29, 2006

RE: Thanks

Yes, as always, it was great to hang out with you. As big an ass as I am and have been, I'm lucky that you give me any of your free time. And, I don't and never have thought you are a bad person. I'm the bad person. I hope that is clear.

There seems to be something going around. I hope you feel better soon. A good night of sleep may help.

Thanks

Good to hang out with you.

Not sure if I'm allergic to you, Greek food, or rain, but I'm very stuffed up.

Thanks for the good conversation. A bit more clarity is always good. :)

RE: You safe?

Oh, I forgot about the trees. I guess I shouldn't tell you about the tree that fell - about a block away.

RE: You safe?

Oh, cool. I can ride it to work!

Yeah, it is a mess out there. No wind, so I don't have to worry about the trees. ;)

RE: You safe?

Oh, I forgot about that skateboard

Wow, it is pouring.

RE: You safe?

Ha, I bet you were.

Your motorized skateboard. Dude, that is smoking.

I'm okay. Just hanging out.
Geez, I was waxing the bat (ha, insert joke there).

Yeah, there is a light at the end of the tunnel with this project stuff. Had a conference call with the others guys earlier. I need to take my skateboard downtown to blow off some steam, but shit it's raining.

How are you doing?

RE: You safe?

Sorry. Just a bad joke. The worst thing that happened was some heinous bad breath (no, not mine). You working?

RE: You safe?

That wasn't funny.

RE: You safe?

Nah, just kidding. I'm fine. It was not a great session, but no problems.

How you doing?

RE: You safe?

Hmm, interesting question, I'd offer any help you may need. I'm not sure past that point.

You're not okay?

RE: You safe?

What would you do if I said no? No, I'm not okay.

You safe?

You survive another round with the boys?

Saturday, August 26, 2006

RE: Bye

Farewell, my friend and confidante, I hope your journey is both rewarding and relaxing.

There's porn on the Internet?

Bye

I'm taking off. Have fun at the draft. And have a good weekend. I'm sure you can think of something to do. Like, oh I don't know, looking at Internet porn. Enjoy!

RE: RE: Out

Uh, I think, okay, I'll leave here about 11:30.

RE: RE: Out

Oh, yes. I know what you mean. Alright. Can you find it? :)

RE: RE: Out

Uh, it is somewhere downtown, not too far from your work?

RE: RE: Out

Alright. Whatever you say. Skate park? Where is that?

RE: RE: Out

Uh, I'd be a nervous wreck in that location (I know, I'm insane), so ... what is open late? Wanna go to Wal-Mart? Ha, mmm, I dunno. Go to the skate park?

RE: RE: Out

Yeah. Not sure. Around the corner from my house? Hell, I don't know.

RE: RE: Out

Parks usually close at 10, and they do patrol them (learned that a long time ago).

RE: RE: Out

Wow, I have no idea. The usual spot (park) is the only thing that comes to mind, but I don't know. Hm.

RE: RE: Out

Where indeed, they will probably still be here, so that won't work. Meet at 11:30, but where?

RE: RE: Out

Yeah, I guess it's weird, huh? I'll meet you after you get done working, if you want. If you want to call it off, just let me know.

If you want to meet, I guess, just let me know when?

RE: RE: Out

Uh, it's not, is that weird? Well, so, .....

RE: RE: Out

No, it's not, actually.

RE: RE: Out

Guess I'll be here another hour or so. Yeah, I know, that's too late.

RE: RE: Out

Guess I'll be here another hour or so. Yeah, I know, that's too late.

RE: RE: Out

yeah, me too. How long do you have to stay?

RE: RE: Out

They went upstairs to look at something. Now, I feel like I missed something - well, I did. Crap, now I feel weird, I guess I have to stay. Shit.

RE: RE: Out

Oh. No, I wasn't. I guess you better get your work done.

RE: RE: Out

Well, the guys are here now, crap, I guess not. I thought you were joking :/

RE: RE: Out

I thought you were playing around too. Sometimes you are direct, but not this time. ;) I don't envy you the McDonald's, but I would/will meet you. Or did I miss my chance?

Re: RE: Out

Oh, I just thought you were playing around. I figured you were tired, wouldn't want to go out, and it is/was late (pick one or any combination). I guess my assumptions are incorrect, and when have you known me to be direct? Well, I'm eating some crappy McDonald's ....

RE: Thanks

Nothing. Everything is wonderful.

It's pretty good. Never seen Jaws 2 or 3.

Did you read the Le Carre book?

Re: RE: Out

Oh, I didn't understand that. I thought guys were supposed to be direct? Hm.
You always say it's not a big deal. Guess it's really not. Okay. I'm totally confused now.

Re: RE: Out

I did, but, oh well, no big deal. Maybe I'll just go to McDonald's.

She asked how I was doing. She said I was such a nice young man. See, I can fool people!

Re: RE: Out

Oh well, I didn't figure you really meant you'd meet me. ?? You better eat something.

That is odd. What did she ask??

Re: RE: Out

Oh well, you already ate, guess I better get something before everything out here closes.

This is weird - I was just chatting with my old manager from Boston (the one I almost worked with). She says "my mom was just asking about you the other day." Now, I met her mom during a trip, so yes I have met her (once).

Re: RE: Out

Mm, cake.

Ooo, thanks for the tip. :) I'll try it. ;)

Re: RE: Out

Oh, that cake is too good over there.

A tip, you can shave your legs when you take a bath/shower. Oh wait .... ;)

RE: Out

Something sweet? I haven't been there forever, but seems like they had some good desserts.

Aw, you're being sweet. Yeah, I'd look good if only I'd shave my legs. ;)

RE: Out

Mmm, pasta sounds good, maybe Mac Grill carryout. Want anything?

Yeah, but you choose the right ones and right combinations!!

RE: Out

Yeah, it makes sense. I had to force myself to eat some pasta. Force it down.

Nah, I just have a closet full of clothes. :)

RE: Out

Hmm, we'll see, maybe Subway (nope, that's closed), hmm, maybe Arby's, I need to eat, but I'm not really hungry, make sense? Maybe I'll go wander B&N.

Yes, you are very resourceful.

RE: Out

Have a good dinner.

No, I didn't dream it, and thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it. I'm sure I can come up with something.

RE: Out

Well, I think I'll go get something to eat - come back in a couple hours (waiting for something to run).

She didn't remember having it? Did you dream it? Did you dream that she gave it to you? I'm sure you have plenty to wear, and you look good in everything.

RE: Out

Oh, you don't mean that. You're working, working, working.

I stopped by that store after I went to the gym, but they didn't have the skirt. The owner said she didn't remember having anything like that recently. I didn't get anything. Now I need a plan b.

RE: Out

No, I'm just obsessive so I won't relax until it is resolved. Sure, c'mon, I can use all the help I can get.

Did you get it? A whole outfit?

RE: Out

Okay, whatever you say. You can save the day again. Let me know if you need help. :)

I'll try not to forget, thank you.

RE: Out

What? There's no reason to worry about me, I'm fine. I have to come back (office) later tonight to check in with some boneheads.

Don't forget to get that skirt!

RE: Out

I'm fine, but I'm worried about you. Well, have a good night.

Out

Oh well, I guess I'll leave. Don't work too hard. I know you're not feeling well, so get some rest :-)

RE: Good

I hope you sleep well.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Good

Hi,

Did you get your work done? The dinner was good. Did I tell you it was a bourbon dinner, where they paired one bourbon with each course? I didn't think I'd drink the bourbon, but I changed my mind. I drank all of it. I shot it. Plus some gin and wine. Wow. Good combination. Food was good too. Anyway, I was hazy for awhile, but I'm sober now. Funny how quickly it can go away sometimes.

Well. So. I guess I should try to sleep. I hope you are well and I'm imagining you sleeping peacefully.

RE: Hey

Hey,

I wasn't avoiding your email, I haven't been up too long. I'm used to staying up late, but it is okay (with everybody else) if I sleep/arrive later since I was at the office.

I always feel a bit odd after having a conversation like we had last night - like I said too much, but I do trust and respect you. Yes, I am me, and you are you :) I wonder about professional help, but - oh well, that is a different discussion. You're one of the few people that I want to get it right - ensure that you know how I feel about you and try to explain myself. You are truly special, and it hurts to know how much trouble I cause you. Honestly, I have no idea why you still talk to me.

We chose each other, but things are not always easy. Yeah, I know, that makes no sense, but somehow it makes sense to me. I hate to hear you say that I didn't choose you. I'm not sure I should choose anybody or anything, and I still think that I'd drive you crazy with my erratic behavior. Maybe I'm better in brief bursts. And, I'm not going anywhere

RE: Hey

Hi,

I always like it when you open up a bit to me. I've often wondered if you were aware of the effect you have on me. I've tried to get it across, but maybe I never did a very good job. I don't think you are crazy. You're just you. You have strong emotions. And they change quickly. That's not craziness. It can be painful to deal with but it's not craziness.

When you tell me that you respect me and love me, and that I deserve to be treated well, it does touch me. But everyone deserves that. Some days, I wish that you would have chosen me, given me a chance to take care of you, spend my time with you, show you that I love you too. Some days, I know it never would have worked. But there's nobody else in the world I can talk to the way I can talk to you. There's nobody else like you.

Don't worry about hurting me. Don't take off because you think you're helping me by doing so.

Hey

I hope you are sleeping well - I'm still at work, but I think I may be a hero (for a short time anyway) as I fixed something the others couldn't.

Anyway, as always, it was great to sit and chat. It is funny (not ha-ha) as I sat and told you all of that stuff, I realized how crazy I really am. I am a total ass so much of the time, and my moodiness has to drive people crazy. I really don't feel like I can control it much of the time, but that is no excuse. As you said, I'm an adult. I've had people tell how "I am" in the past, but it just hit home tonight. I am so sorry I've caused you so much pain and sorrow. I know I seem like a cold-hearted bastard much of the time, but I have nothing but respect and love for you. Those feelings have never changed, so I apologize if I made you think differently. I'm so afraid to hurt you any further.

RE: Cupple things ..

I know she has an RSS client that she uses to stay up-to-date, but I don't.

Way more dangerous? Really? Does this involve drinking? Working with your boss? Wow, now I'm wondering.....

RE: Cupple things ..

You don't???

There's nothing to be worried about. I do way more dangerous stuff than going there for two hours a week. Nothing for you to worry about. Or be scared or whatever.

RE: Cupple things ..

I think your post was new or somewhat new (I don't sit here hitting refresh). In your position in that class.

Okay, I'm not longer scared (rolls eyes).

RE: Farrah

Uh, okay, hmm.

RE: Farrah

Crush.

RE: Cupple things ..

Oh, sorry my blog isn't as interesting or entertaining as her. She's in my position? I don't get it. Why do you keep talking about her?

You shouldn't be scared. The guy who said he wouldn't let anything happen to me is the biggest, scariest-looking one. He's got my back.

RE: Farrah

Uh, you had a crush on her or you saw the show??

RE: Farrah

So did I.

RE: Cupple things ..

Uh, okay, I caught up on the blog. For some reason, that post scares me. It just shows how much I don't trust people (those men). But, then I started laughing as I thought of her in your position (yes, your mind just filled in with pictures). Also, I can imagine the teacher being freaked out as she stalked HIM. Hahahahahahaa

Farrah

Oh, I had such a crush on Farrah Fawcett way back when. Anyway, she's on the William Shatner roast on Comedy Central and she looks like shit (and high/drunk).

RE: Cupple things ..

True dat. Everything on the Net is 100 percent real and exactly as it appears.

You're welcome. :)

I don't know, I just wondered.

Don't you read my blog? ;) Guess not.

RE: Cupple things ..

Plus, it's on the Internet, so it must be true.

Thank you ;)

Crap, I won't be able to finish it, but I'll go. Why would I not want you to go? Are you being silly again?

Did you tutor tonight?

Monday, August 21, 2006

RE: Cupple things ..

Oh no, she's being totally honest. She said so, so it must be true.

You're so polite.

Did you read that book? I guess I'm probably not going to finish it. Are you going to the book club? If you don't want me to go, let me know.

RE: Cupple things ..

Sad for her, but entertaining for the rest of us. I just assume most of it is made-up.

Your welcome.

RE: Cupple things ..

Ah, yes. Sally seems to have a condition called "I fall in love with every guy who looks at me, and have sex with most of them." Also known as no self-esteem. Sad.

I was just joking. But thanks for the list. :)

Let's see. I have this one, a couple others(I think, haven't used that for ages), and my work one. I think that's it.

RE: Cupple things ..

Okay, that was a joke. Oh, her recent rambling post about the guy at some convenience store being so nice and hot - she probably blew him behind the dumpster in the parking lot.

Just the one life, I have a few accounts. Let me know if you need a list.

You?

RE: Cupple things ..

Okay, you've kind of lost me. It wasn't a dream? Hm. I don't believe you. What post are you referring to? Who is on her radar? What???

Jesus, how many e-mail addresses do you have? How many lives are you leading?

RE: Cupple things ..

Well, at least you are eating - and sleeping ;)

It was so silly that it was kind of embarrassing. Make my dream come true? You're a nut. Besides, who said it was just a dream? On her recent post, a good response would be "so, did you screw him", because that guy is obviously on her radar. I don't think I could make that shit up, so it ain't me.

I have messed around with other blogs, but they are gone - I think. Some were just messing around (like the one in question) plus I messed with some API stuff as well. It is enough to keep one going, and that one blog will always remain as I can't remember the logon for it. I tried to get it, but the email address used with it is a mystery as well. Yeah, you probably don't believe me, but it's true :)

RE: Cupple things ..

I like breakfast food any time. Along with my sleep patterns, my eating has gotten all out of whack. I'm eating at strange times. Ah well, it's no biggie.

Yeah, I keep bringing it up because I was trying to get you to say something about it. :) It's cool. I know you were playing around. I'm not upset about it or anything like that. Any time you want me to make your dream come true, just let me know. And yes, I know that will never happen. I'm joking. I thought you told me that you were her? And are you going to show me all your other blogs? If you do, I'll show you my other ones.

RE: Cupple things ..

It was just weird in my mind ;) It made me think how quickly things can change. Oh well, just me being weird.

Well, the demand can quickly dry up which is what I always expect.

I guess that would happen since I'd be around other fans, which would lead to more discussions, etc. Plus, I only catch a few games a year around here - but they'd always be available there. Hmm, good point.

Not a big egg fan, but they are good every now and then. Does this mean you'll be having lunch tomorrow at breakfast time?

On one subject you keep bringing up, I'm just a weirdo. I'm talking about the whole blog comment. I was going to say I was drinking that night (I was), but that had nothing to do with it. I just like to play around. I knew you'd figure it out - just not that quickly. It was just me with too much time (that should be spent sleeping) on my hands. I'm still waiting for you to tell me you are her.

RE: Cupple things ..

Okay, I'm wrong again. What was weird about it, then?

Must be nice to know how to do something that is so in demand.

The guy says living there has made him moodier -- so I don't think you need to live in Philly.

Mm, breakfast for dinner. I love it. Eggs. :)

RE: Cupple things ..

No, it wasn't hard to hear, just seemed a bit weird. I've had nothing but bad things to say about her for years. Yes, yes, and yes, he does need to get a lawyer.

Ah, we'll see if the work ever materializes.

Yes, that channel seemed to be right up your alley.

RE: Cupple things ..

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that. He should really get a lawyer NOW, huh? I don't think it's optional at this point. I'm sure that was hard to hear.

More work for you? Good thing you don't sleep much and you love to work.

Hm. Sounds a bit too intellectual for me. ;) Although I do love all things "Clintonesque."

Cupple things ..

Just got off the phone - my brother called and the divorce proceedings have taken an ugly turn. I didn't get all of the info, but the gist of it is she is trying to stick him with all the bills along with the house and such. He says there is no way, yet he still hasn't hired a lawyer. It is odd to sit and listen as he called her various ugly names while not too long ago he loved her so much. Ain't life grand.

I received another call from my buddy (think I told you that story). Well, another ex-coworker of ours is running for office and wants some (not sure what) type of Web application built, so my name came up. Anyway, I'm supposed to talk to him soon.

Finally a tv channel for you -- http://www.slate.com/id/2147960/?GT1=8483

RE: Bad idea?

Good thing you didn't grow up there, you'd be married to him.

RE: Bad idea?

A DeLorean??? Could it time travel? Cuz that would be AWESOME.

RE: Bad idea?

And, look out for guys with flashy red cars and who like to marry teenagers (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14400501/)

RE: Bad idea?

Uh, okay, "pot." I kid, I kid!

RE: Bad idea?

Uh, don't be so in-sensitive!

RE: Trash talking

No sex, uhm, that could be why he broke up with her. Of course, I could be wrong too.

Don't bring me down off this rush!

RE: Bad idea?

Ha, you're bad. Can you name your German Shepherd Adolf?

RE: Trash talking

I didn't get that much detail, but perhaps you're right. Although I don't think there is any sex involved. Could be wrong. Often am.

How are you doing, aside from the shooting rush?

RE: Bad idea?

There is the legendary Adolph Rupp of Kentucky basketball fame. Yeah, you can't name your kid Saddam, Fidel, George, Pol, and on and on.

RE: Trash talking

Uh, they broke up AGAIN last night, so they made up last week (as she continued to cry)? If they got back together late last week, then that explains why she "missed the bus" two days (think makeup sex).

RE: Bad idea?

Or pure genius???

Gross.

Someone was just saying the other day, when will it be okay again to name your kid Adolf?

RE: Trash talking

Aha. Don't drink alone and don't shoot alone. And don't drink and shoot together.

Yeah, it's more of the same. That is, they broke up again last night. She's never had a serious boyfriend before, either.

Bad idea?

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14121008/?GT1=8404

I wonder if they advertise that their food is better because of their special furnaces?

RE: Trash talking

He said he didn't want me going back there alone.

What IS her situation? Did she ever tell you or did you tell her to shut up again?

RE: Trash talking

He said he didn't want me going back there alone.

What IS her situation? Did she ever tell you or did you tell her to shut up again?

RE: Trash talking

Ha, you let him blindfold you? Loss of control! Well, that is a funny
mental picture.

Oh, they're allright. I do feel bad for her. But there's nothing I can do about her situation. And, no, I didn't. She was crying when I got here.

RE: Trash talking

He said "careful that thing can kill people" and I said "yeah, especially in my hands."

Yep, rent a gun, you need directions?

The bus showed today? Geez, how long will she cry?

Not sure about going back, probably never :)

RE: Trash talking

It was relaxing, but I'm slowing tensing back up. Actually, I didn't think of anybody - I was really nervous.

Funny, he blindfolded me, so I'm not sure where it is.

She won't talk to you? Hmm, did you make her cry? That is funny, such an odd group of people - your team that is :)

RE: Trash talking

So, do you feel relaxed now? You've had a cathartic experience? You imagined mowing down all your enemies? And a few innocents, as well?

Yeah, I need directions. Please.

She will cry FOREVA. She won't talk to me today, only IM, which is driving me crazy. I asked her to just speak to me, but she said she can't. And then she went into it.....Don't tell me! Don't wanna know.

RE: Trash talking

Hm, you're a nut. ;) I guess that's one way for you to get out your feelings.

Rent a gun? Who'd a thunk it???

My day is going okay. Yes, the tears are flowing (no, not me). I'm disregarding. Other than that, things seem to be moving along at the moment.

So when are you going back there? Every day?

RE: Trash talking

Yeah, he asked if I was okay after I yelled "that's for never keeping your promises" - woo, it was kind of therapeutic. Maybe we can start a shooting range/counseling center? It was weird to hold a real machine gun, although it wasn't loaded.

There were plenty of them for sale at the place. Oh, and you can rent a gun (in case you ever want to go shooting) as well. No, I won't be buying a gun (today).

How's your day going? Wanna shoot anybody? The guy working at the place didn't laugh when he asked for targets and I said "do you have any with short brown hair, glasses and birthmark on their right cheek?"

RE: Trash talking

Okay, that made me laugh. ;)

Wow, you held a machine gun? Is your hand still vibrating? Because that could be cool.

Of course they have black men on the targets. ;) Wouldn't have any other way, right? Don't want to take a chance of missing when the opportunity is right.

Did you go to the store and buy a gun when you left?

RE: Trash talking

You didn't like my shooting target joke? Oh well, he had a couple guns and the smaller was harder to control, but it was all fun. His friend is on the SWAT team, well he showed up and I got to hold his machine gun (yeah, insert your joke here). Those guys are nuts. I did receive a lot of stares as I yelled "die mother fucker" repeatedly ;)

RE: Trash talking

Cool, so you liked it? I'm not surprised you did well. But please don't shoot me.

RE: Trash talking

You're a nut.

Well, I did it, I went to the shooting range. Wow, it is kind of a rush. He said I didn't do too bad, only missed the person on the target once. It was a bit odd that the shooting targets for cops featured black men.

RE: Thanks

I wouldn't say 'like a rock', but I slept. You were wore out after a stressful day and partying :)

RE: Thanks

Yes, I commiserate you and your blogging duties.

RE: Thanks

Yes, I will pummel him with my enormous vocabulary. Or work it into Bullet Points.

RE: Thanks

Ha, you can use it on your boss.

RE: Thanks

I picked up a copy. Less than halfway through. Learned a new word -Peculation.

RE: Thanks

Hmm.

I've read about half of it.

RE: Thanks

What was so stressful?

Wow, I've never seen Jaws. I've seen bits and pieces, but never the whole thing. I always like the Bionic Woman writing on her chalkboard so fast.

RE: Thanks

Yes, that's true. I still feel pretty worn out, actually.

Hope you're having a good day/weekend.

Aha, Jaws is on. Love it when the old guy scratches his nails down the chalkboard to shut everybody up. I need to get a chalkboard for the office.

RE: Thanks

Yeah, I did. Slept like a rock. Hope you did as well.

And beer.

RE: Thanks

Okay, you beat me, I went to bed before 3 AM. I hope you got some rest.

Yes, the Germans know how to make cars (and war).

RE: Thanks

That's part of the fun.

Sorry, I won't.

Made in Germany. Not France.

RE: Thanks

Good until the brain-freeze hits.

Never assume.

Right about Porsche? I don't follow.

RE: Thanks

I'm always good.

That's good news. Nice of you to visit (I'm assuming you did).

You were right about Porsche (of course).

RE: Thanks

Well, you were good, so you deserved an Icee.

Yes, he seems to be okay.

RE: Thanks

Nice to see you. Thanks for the popcorn and Icee. Hope that means dad is okay.

Saturday, August 19, 2006

Thanks

Hey, it was great to see you this afternoon. I hope the rest of your day was good, and I hope I wasn't too flaky.

Oh, and dad was "at the" hospital and not "in the" hospital. It was my mistake - funny how one word changes everything (guess we've laughed at that before). Oh well, he's now home.

I actually have the library book for Tuesday (The Spy Who Came in From the Cold), so I guess I'll check in with that group.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah, I don't know if you're kidding or not. Anyway, I'll see you over there at 12:30.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

The Da Vinci Code is playing at 12:20.

Just kidding. Or am I????

12:30 is okay with me. You want to meet at the bookstore and we can go from there? Movie or whatever. I'm too indecisive right now. Let me know if that is okay. :)

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Well, I'm not much of a breakfast person, so h'bout lunch? Something like 12:30? Or, let me know whatever works best with you and wherever you want to eat/gather.

RE: Is Bush next?

He's waiting, watching and waiting.

Air freshener would be good.

Forecast says you are correct!

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Oh well. Meetings are death. I didn't throw a fit, but I did go into laughing hysterics at one point, and then my boss snuck up behind me and scared me so I screamed "Jesus Christ!" It has been a very long day and I'm still not done.

Okay, let me clear my head once I get out of here and figure out what the hell I am doing. Lunch tomorrow? Or breakfast? I heard of a new place.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Nah, I lost interest halfway through it - well, I'm not sure I was ever really interested. Did you ever throw your fit?

Well, just let me know.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Only. Yeah, right. You should start telling them what to do and straighten
those folks out.

I don't have much going on this weekend, I don't think. We should hang out
at some point. :)

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah, lots of moments where I want to shout "shut up!" but I'm only a contractor.

I know you have lots to do, so I understand if you're too busy. Have fun and don't make yourself sick on fresh fruits and/or vegetables.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

You survived!

Okay. Sounds good and I'll get back with you on that. :)

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

No stories, just endless talking about nothing!

I know you have plenty to do, but let me know if you are available anytime this weekend. We could catch a movie or whatever. I'm free anytime but tonight.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah, it was all stretched or warped or something. Very old.

Bring me back a story?

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Yep, that is a good phrase.

I have a tape player in my car, so we'll see how it goes. Pink Floyd? The tape was old/bad?

Crap, gotta go to a meeting from hell.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

What's done is done. And you're feeling better now. That's what counts. I'm thankful I got my great evening in before you went down for the count.

How's that Metallica tape? Do you even have a tape player anywhere? I actually played an old cassette the other day. It was Pink Floyd and it sounded freaky. Bad freaky, not good freaky. It was kind of funny.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

Thanks for the reminder.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

:) Yeah, it was. Until you puked. Speaking of bringing it back up. ;)

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

No, like I said, it was surprising, but no problem. I shouldn't have brought it (back) up. Great evening.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

I do know that. I'm sorry I said that. It wasn't very nice. But the rest of the evening was.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

It was surprising but understandable. Those words are too hard to say, so no I never lied about loving you.

Re: RE: Is Bush next?

C

RE: Is Bush next?

Hmm, you wondered if I ever loved you. That was some question.

RE: Is Bush next?

No, I don't have it all together at all. But I love you. There, that's what it was. Nothing bad.

Yes!!! I'm their poster child.

Yer a troublemaker fer sure. Gotta keep it interesting, right?

RE: Is Bush next?

Why were you expecting something bad? Am I in the habit of saying bad/mean things to you?

Oh, darn. I liked being the bitch. Tell him I steal candy from babies.

RE: Is Bush next?

Oh, I was expecting something bad.

Well, I told him about you giving candy bars to crying women in wheel chairs and he thinks you're okay.

RE: Is Bush next?

I don't know. I was going to say something nice but then I thought you'd just argue the point with me. ;)

Yeah, I know. ;)

RE: Is Bush next?

Uh, am I supposed to guess or ignore?

Yeah, I told him, now you're a bitch ;)

RE: Is Bush next?

Okay. I'm thinking something but I'm not going to say it.

"The wife." So he's "the husband"? Isn't "the husband" supposed to bring home the bacon? What, he can't provide for his family?

He's not a real man then. Tell him I said so.

RE: Is Bush next?

Hardy har har. Well, they only love who they think I am.

Nice, it seems the wife has been spending more money.

She needs to get a job if she's going to be using it. Apparently, she's a stupid bitch

RE: Is Bush next?

I know that all the ladies are in love with you and you have to try to keep them happy. It's a rough life. ;)

RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah, she had joked about it. Ah well, no biggie.

RE: Is Bush next?

She's a bitch. Why, were you assuring her, as well, that it wasn't you?

RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah, I haven't tasted one either, but the smell was horrible.

No, it was on my headphones and he asked - which led to the cassette on my desk. I haven't seen a cassette in years. Kill kill kill kill? Who who who who?

An email from her said she knew the blog post wasn't about me because of the following lines: "He was so damn moral, he was the kind of man with that magical thing called integrity. He was the kind of man to do the right thing, even if he was on a deserted island with no one around." She said she knew that wasn't me, ouch.

RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah, those are nasty. Well, I haven't had one, but I've smelled it.

Ha, that makes me think of that old commercial for a K-Tel thing or something. The hippie says, "Is that Classic Rock? Well, turn it up, dude!"

So, you have been talking about the poetry of Metallica, or just listening to it in the office? This is a particularly pleasant lyric: Kill kill kill kill kill

RE: Is Bush next?

If you change your mind, avoid the Tuscan Chicken - somebody got it over here the other day, stunk up the whole office.

I don't know if it helps, but -kinda funny - My officemate said "I didn't know you liked Metallica" and he handed me a cassette tape. Yes, an old Metallica cassette.

RE: Is Bush next?

Dag, I forgot the peaches. I'm just working through this pile of stuff. No more Subway! I don't care if it is delivered on wheels, on foot or on horseback. Blech.

I'll check it out. Is it helping?

RE: Is Bush next?

No more peaches? Subway? Working lunch with your boss? Tell your friend to wheel herself over to Subway and get you a sandwich!

Yep, deep and poetic.

RE: Is Bush next?

Mm, candy... I had no breakfast and I don't know when I'll get a chance to eat lunch. This coffee isn't very filling.

Metallica? :)

RE: Is Bush next?

You could pull a George and see if crying works for you. See if you get any candy.

RE: Is Bush next?

Yes, you will. You spend enough time with computers--take a break on the plane.

Arrrggghhhh. (stomping feet)

Hm, wonder if I can manage not to throw a hissy fit today? You know the heat makes people do crazy things.

RE: Is Bush next?

Oh well, I'll survive.

A Diet Mountain Dew will help you be more productive.

RE: Is Bush next?

It'll be a bit harder now, if you ever want to. ;)

Oh sure there is. I just waste it.

:)

RE: Is Bush next?

Hmm, I don't think I've ever used a laptop on a plane. Good stuff :)

There is never enough time in the morning or day for that matter!

RE: Is Bush next?

Man, these blogs are going to be the death of me! ;)

Too many of them. I'm going to have to start getting to work much earlier, and I don't know if I can manage that. But I need more morning work time. Damn it.

RE: Is Bush next?

Oh well. Maybe he can find someone closer to home to give the VS to.

Hm, you make a point.

Sounds like a wonderful officemate. Do you need some air freshener?

Huh, looks like rain.

RE: Is Bush next?

Oh, okay, then you're right, no romance.

Here's a hint - no Lora == no Tarc problems. In other words, you don't have a Tarc problem, you have a ... well, you know.

The day is okay - so far.

My officemate is complaining (more) about working late last night, he doesn't feel good today, and the wife still isn't too bright.

Oh, and he keeps farting and belching and announcing each one.

RE: Is Bush next?

Is that so?

I'm not sure that works, from what I've heard recently.... No crying.

She wasn't here and finally I called her. Well, she was in the breakroom and had just gotten here. The bus was late and then took a long time (sometimes they pick up and drop off a lot of other people). So we hate TARC.

How's your day? How's your office mate?

RE: Is Bush next?

Yeah.

Well, the key to romance in Vegas is to bring Victoria's Secret (not the actual secret, but merchandise).

Any crying today? Bus show up?

RE: Is Bush next?

I was kind of confused, it looked like something for school.

Obviously, it wasn't turned in.

Of course there is, it just costs extra.

RE: Is Bush next?

Um, exsqueeze me???

Number one, that's on his list of things he likes?

Number two, for school??? I'm confused.

There isn't any romance in Vegas.

RE: Is Bush next?

OMG, I was looking at some of the boy's papers -- he had a list of things he likes (I guess for school)and guess what #2 was/is? Whores.

Geez, I don't want him to turn into a guy that flies to Vegas for romance.

I guess I can blame the rap music. I'm not sure I'm in a position to straighten him out, but I'll try.

RE: Is Bush next?

Excellent. Can't wait to read his wise posts about giving the German

Chancellor a back rub. Of course, the reason he'll have a blog is so that his people can spy on the people who comment on it.

They'll be watching you. YOU!

RE: Is Bush next?

That's the rumor on the internets.

RE: Is Bush next?

On the Internets?

Is Bush next?

RE: Here's how it went

Well, he is wise and perceptive and he knows you so well, so I'm sure he knows everything. Hmm, there seems to be a story related to him - a guy that is in love with a hooker, nah I'm sure it's been done.

I was talking about the Bukowski documentary, I haven't heard of the movie with Matt Dillon (is it playing locally?).

I hope the mouse activity doesn't keep you awake :)

RE: Here's how it went

Makes my life interesting. I changed the subject -- asked him where he was going. That's when he told me more about Joe Hans' son and everything. So, no, I did not elaborate on you, but I'm sure he could see on my face how I feel about you. Both last night and today.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

It's open season on mice.

Did you tell me about this Bukowski movie? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417658/ Want to see it?

It's been a long day, so I guess I better try to get some sleep. Hope you can get back to bed. :)

Take care,
talk to you tomorrow.

RE: Here's how it went

You seem to attract them. Uh, did you tell him how so far from together that I have it?

Well, just wanted to be sure.

I actually set a trap over here and caught one. Shit.

RE: Here's how it went

He's a nut.


Ahahaha. Yer so funny. :) I know and I wasn't going to ask. Okay? :) Goofball.

Oh dang, I forgot the mouse traps!

RE: Here's how it went

Definitely, you're always preying on his mind.

Sleep is good. I think I'll get that on a t-shirt. It was like it hit me all at once at work, I hardly had the energy to logout and leave.

Oh, and before you ask, no - I did not exchange email addresses or telephone numbers with somebody online.

RE: Here's how it went

It was pretty funny. It had been preying on his mind...

That is great! I'm so glad to hear you got some solid sleep. Nothing noteworthy here. I was going to go to the gym, but I was so pooped out after work, I skipped it. Just hanging out with the dogs, reading and what not.

RE: Here's how it went

Fuck him, oh wait, okay that is funny. Isn't it odd how he felt the need to say "I wasn't following you." Hmm, then why did he say it?

Wow, I slept so good. She is out of town today/tonight/tomorrow, so I was able to lay down in familiar surroundings. Anyway, I don't think I was sick, but the insomnia caught up to me. Oh well, I missed a night out with the crazy people at work. I hope your night is or has been good.

Here's how it went

Me: ....yeah, she got it together, momentarily, today.
Boss: Yeah. Who really has it together, though?
Me: Nobody.
Boss: Except Him.
Me: Nobody.
Boss: I wasn't following you. I just looked and there you were.

Tuesday, August 15, 2006

RE: Hey

Crap, yep, there are three dogs over there. Thanks, you sleep well too.

RE: Hey

Yup. :) Okay, I hope you have a good night's sleep over there. They have a doggy for you to snuggle with, right?

RE: Hey

Well, they won, so that makes it a good game :) Yeah, I'll head over there in a bit.

RE: Hey

Good to hear. Yeah, I'm okay. It was a good game. Okay, I don't know if it was a good game. But it was a nice night. :) Are you going to your friend's tonight? Or crashing elsewhere?

RE: Hey

I'm good, you? Yep, working.

Hey

Hi there,

Are you doing okay? Are you working? Any more running tonight?

RE: I think ..

There you go, if you can't sleep - throw your dogs around!

G'night.

RE: I think ..

I do, that's true. I wonder how they did that? Spent all day throwing dogs in the air??? That would be tiring. Hm.

Ok, I'm going to try to sleep in a few minutes. You take care of yourself, okay?

I'll talk to you tomorrow,

RE: I think ..

You love your dogs. No, you haven't sent that one, whoa - weird.

RE: I think ..

I guess I'm good at making up excuses? You can use mine.

Did I ever send you this?
I love it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F52dx9Z0L5k&eurl=

RE: I think ..

Well, at least you have an excuse.

Monday, August 14, 2006

RE: I think ..

You said it, buddy. All the way through. It's all the peanut butter.

RE: I think ..

You're a nut.

RE: I think ..

I will later. I'll be sending good energy to you so that you can sleep tonight. Touchy-feely, right? Be well.

RE: I think ..

Really, it's okay. You better get some sleep.

RE: I think ..

Yeah, but I want to. I can't help it. I'm sorry. Okay, I'll try to stop now. I wish there was something I could do. Crap.

RE: I think ..

No need to apologize :) Yeah, you're probably right.

RE: I think ..

Oh. I'm sorry. Might be good to go to his house. Have some people around. Maybe?

RE: I think ..

Yeah, summer has gone quick. I had enough of Mom yesterday and I don't have all of my shots to stay at my brother's house. There is a hotel across the street and my friend said I could come over - he gets off around midnight, so I'm set one way or another :)

RE: I think ..

Oh. That sucks. I can't believe it's time for school to start up again. Are you going to go to your mom's then? Or your brother's?

RE: I think ..

Yeah, maybe so. I'm at work at the moment, so maybe later. I kind of evicted myself from my own house since school starts tomorrow ...

RE: I think ..

Yikes, I have enough enemies without that. :) Maybe you can watch some really boring TV? Oh wait, it's all boring. I would think all that working would make you sleepy.

RE: I think ..

Yeah, and I read that it is best not to think about it, but it is so hard not to - kinda funny.

You should have entered this contest -- http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14350765/?GT1=8404

RE: I think ..

I think I tried to read it but couldn't get into. Oh, now it is raining.
That sound is good for sleeping, don't you think? Or no, you like it quiet.
You know how it is -- you're tired but as soon as you lie down -- nope, not gonna happen.

RE: I think ..

White noise? I think I read that book, it was okay. Deep breathing, I don't have a clue what that is. I did the running tonight, but no luck so far. Maybe it'll hit shortly. Well, at least you are tired.

RE: I think ..

I'm sorry. You have got to get some rest or you're going to collapse. Try some yoga? Deep breathing? White noise? I don't have too many good ideas.

RE: I think ..

My mind is racing, so the forecast isn't good.

RE: I think ..

Hi,
Yes, it was good and sweaty. I think it may help -- I can hope. You going to sleep tonight?

RE: I think ..

Good workout? Good sweat? Help with the sleeping?

RE: I think ..

You didn't have to do that. But thanks, that was nice. Sorry I was being grumpy. I apologize. I think I beat it out of myself at the gym.

Thanks.

I think ..

Okay, I double checked, I think anything offensive has been removed. Oh well, you can let me know for sure.

Hope the workout was good.

RE: RE: Relax

Yeah, they don't sound like the best.

It's hard to outrun a bullet.

Yeah, I shouldn't post some of that stuff. I've deleted a few things after the fact.

It was a joke ....

RE: RE: Relax

Her doctors suck, in my opinion.

Yeah, maybe I need to get that gun, too. Although I'm pretty sure I can run faster than he can.

You're really laying it all out there on your blog.

She'll probably take you up on that. Or she probably already has. Have fun.

RE: RE: Relax

I would say she needs to seek medical help, but apparently she's done that - a lot.

Looking over your shoulder and running?

The Metallica one :(

I told her I was going to offer $250 to anybody that could get me a good night of sleep.

RE: RE: Relax

I feel bad for her but there is nothing I can do.

If I do see him, I'll be running the other way.

Uh, she made fun of the sleep post? Well, yes, you do need to get some sleep. Or the Metallica one?

Maybe you should go run around the block a few times and then you'll sleep better.

RE: RE: Relax

Oh, I have a feeling you'll see him again (if you don't return).

You know who made fun of my blog post, she said I need to get some sleep.

RE: RE: Relax

She won't actually say. I think she is in a lot of pain and depressed. It's wearing her out. Or worn her out. And she hates living so far away from her family --- but she knew what she was doing when she moved there.

Maybe I'll never go back.

RE: RE: Relax

Oh, anything specific or just everything?

I'm sure he'll be missing you :)

RE: RE: Relax

Every time I talk to her, she is crying.

I sent an e-mail, didn't talk to him. Although I just sent it awhile ago to his work e-mail, and he's probably not there any more today, so he'll just think I didn't show up. Ha. I'm sick of his weird comments.

RE: RE: Relax

She's crying?

Did he make any jokes about seeing or meeting you later? He sounds like quite a man.

RE: RE: Relax

Now those guys have a curse on them.

Yeah, it'll be fine. If she'll stop crying.

I told the teacher I'm not coming to tutoring tonight. I'm not feeling it.

RE: RE: Relax

Well, I guess the Cubs history is worse.

You and Mom will have a grand time.

RE: RE: Relax

Yeah, so you say.

If she'll come without him, I'll be okay with it.

RE: RE: Relax

The Phillies or Sillies.

Hmm, isn't that your goal (for mom)?

RE: RE: Relax

Which curse are we talking about now? I'm lost. Hm, if I take her on that tour, she might never come back.

RE: RE: Relax

Yeah, the curse seems unavoidable.

Four days of hell in the middle of Sept? That is funny, I don't know why, but I'm laughing.

Oh, Mom can come to town. You can take her on a tour - this is the sink I puked in, there's the house where I was undressed by another woman, ... ;)

I don't understand how I can be so freaking tired and not sleep?

RE: RE: Relax

Oh, I figured it was coming.

It is four days of hell in the middle of September. Probably best to let mom come here after, because dad doesn't get as much vacation and he'll have to go home before that. I think that's my best bet.

RE: RE: Relax

Never have contact with you again? I can't see that happening. Maybe it is a sign that I don't think I could ever agree to that (if it was presented).

Not to be morbid or cruel, the only thing that will straighten dad out is death.

Speaking of death, I need to go to a meeting.

RE: RE: Relax

No. Not at all. I thought you couldn't wait to get out of there. And now I'm waiting for you to tell me that you can never have contact with me again to smooth things out at home. I'll take the blame for the team.

Now my mom is freaking over this "wedding" (courthouse) and getting to see me somewhere. I guess I'll figure something out.

Hm, hope they got dad straightened out. Or healed. You know what I mean.

RE: RE: Relax

Oh wait, I changed my mind, it is all your fault. Also, it's your fault my team lost two of three over weekend. :) Go figure, I thought you were eager to leave.

You have a blog?

Well, I know how much fun you have at family events, so have fun? Besides, what do moms know? My mom is on my list (the bad one that keeps growing) after yesterday. I'm beginning to think dad is right that she's the reason he started drinking years ago. Oh, he made a return trip to the hospital (some pains), but he's still hanging around.

RE: RE: Relax

Alright, it's not (all) my fault. I wanted to spend more time with you too, but you seemed eager to leave.

I'm blaming all these weird things on the medication, but I could be wrong.
Who knows. I'm sure it'll pass someday. If you are basing the belief that I am doing well on my stupid blog, you shouldn't read too much into that. It's a lot of BS. ;) Or maybe that's not what you mean. I'm trying to do the best I can and not bring down the people around me.

So my brother has decided to get married in NY the same weekend I'm supposed to be out of town. I don't know what to do. He did say it's not really a big thing, but my mother is making it into something it's not.

RE: RE: Relax

Like I said, it isn't your fault. I hope you believe me (or eventually will). From my side, I realize I've caused you tremendous pain and trouble, and I apologize. It was so nice to see you Saturday, I wanted to spend more time with you, but I didn't think I was the best company and I assumed you had plenty to do anyway. It's probably weird that I'm nervous around you these days. I'm just afraid to say or do the wrong thing.

I think everybody is selfish from time to time. There's no problem with that. Besides, if you don't do it, who will?

Maybe you should try a different toothpaste? Well, I'm joking, but that medicine doesn't sound like the greatest. On the other hand, you do seem to be doing well. Women always seem to be trying to lose weight, but you look good as usual.

Re: RE: Relax

It's probably good to be deliberate. It can't hurt. It just breaks my heart to think that you guys would split up now. Like it's my fault and you're not even seeing me anymore. And (yes, I do think about myself) it breaks my heart to think of you being alone and then being with someone else, which you eventually would. I am working on dealing with you being with her. After all, you were with her all along; I was in the wrong, and you love her. Other things would hurt in a different way. I guess I'm just selfish that way.

Yeah, I gag. I think it is another medication side effect. I'm not sticking the brush down my throat. Even when it's not anywhere near my throat, I gag. Oh well, I'm losing weight.

Re: RE: Relax

Honestly, I'm not trying to be cryptic. Sometimes I'm afraid to say the wrong thing, so I just say nothing. Anyway, the way I see it - I screwed up two relationships. It boils down to my being indecisive and maybe I just don't know what the hell I want. I just wish somebody else would make decisions for me, but that isn't very mature. I'm trying to be deliberate in what I'm going to do. I'm so deliberate that I'm indecisive! I wonder if my apprehension to chase after her means I don't love her as much as I thought? If I do love her then why did I do what I did? Also, 'mistakes' like this aren't forgiven or (if ever) forgotten very easily. I wonder if maybe things happen for a reason, maybe I should be alone for some time to try to figure things out? I wonder if I made a mistake with you? I wonder if I'll ever be happy - maybe it is just in my blood to question everything and always look for something better? So many questions!!

You gag when you brush you teeth? I assume you realize that you brush from side-to-side or circular motion, don't stick the brush down your throat.

Uh, your latest blog post is different.

Re: RE: Relax

Funny how things change. Well, I'm sorry mom was giving you a hard time. Good time to be supportive. Maybe it was a little sarcastic. You're very cryptic and I suppose it's not any of my business anymore. I was just doing a lot of thinking about how you didn't want me because you love and want Vickie so much, and then you threw me with the comments about maybe not trying any more to get her to stay. But you really should, you know. You love her and she loves you. Don't let the mistakes you and I made split you up.

Yes, I have a new rep now. I'll have to keep up the pace. Every time I eat, or even brush my teeth, I gag, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Re: RE: Relax

My sister has known all along, but I told Mom, so that means the world knows. It is kind of funny, she and I always joked about Mom having a ranking system for us kids. I think I've taken a tumble, while my brother is on the rise. It probably doesn't sound funny, but she and I laughed about it.

I can't tell, but I guess that is sarcasm ("fix everything")? ;)

Well, the puking episode(s) you described on Saturday seem to be anything but ordinary, and I'm sure it didn't help being in that group when it happened (or started) and the story has grown as it has been spread. It's all over the Internet!!

RE: Relax

That sounds rough. I guess that means you told them what is going on. I'm sure you can take it. Besides, you'll fix everything.

The pool was good. The food was great. Didn't see Jaguar man. Or the Jag. And, no, I didn't throw up or come close. But it was still a topic of conversation. You'd think nobody had ever barfed before.

RE: Relax

Funny, but not relaxing :/ I thought I could sleep last night, but maybe the brief nap hurt my chances. I'm exhausted, so I guess it'll come.

It was an interesting day at mom's house. It seems like I have been a hot topic (in the family). Mom found the time to tell me she is disappointed and my brother made a few cracks. Maybe I need to hire an image consultant?

I hope you had fun lying by - or in - the pool. Did you get to ride in the Jaguar? Any more throwing up last night? Okay, bad joke.

Relax

Hi,

Watch this video. I find it strangely relaxing.

I hope you have a good day today at mom's. If all else fails, I can come over. Okay, bad joke. Take it easy.

RE: good

It'd be nice for it to be out of my hands. I want somebody else to call the shots, so then I could blame somebody else if things didn't go well. Or, I dunno, I'm just rambling.

Okay, I wasn't sure if you got the joke.

Yeah, those type of meds have had that affected me that way. At least you're more productive :)

Well, the movie seems a bit odd, plus the guy doesn't sleep for a year and Bateman actually lost a bunch of weight for that starving man look.

Okay, I'm going back to bed. Hope you sleep well.

RE: good

You will figure it out -- or it'll be out of your hands. I don't know. I'm sure it is a confusing time.
I did get your out of reach joke. I was just joking too. Sorry.

I don't know. Supposedly I'm getting exercise and taking meds to help me sleep, but nothing changes. Except that my dosage changed and then changed again, and I think that's why I'm extra hyper and sleepless and have no appetite right now. I don't worry too much about it. It's good that you got some rest.

No, I remember hearing something about that movie, but I haven't seen it.

RE: good

I wasn't trying to be cryptic or vague (this time). Things are not really clear in my mind, so I guess it comes out that way. I hope that explanation makes sense, I'm just a bit confused these days. I shouldn't have said anything about moving, it is an option but I can't really see it happening. The "out of reach" comment was a stupid joke about relaxing, besides I can always get a ticket to Vegas for that (call your boss first). Yeah, I know, bad joke.

I did sleep a bit this afternoon. Weird, I grew up in a house full of people, but these days I seem to have to have complete silence to sleep. I guess it is just my nerves. You're staying busy and exercising, so that probably boosts your energy - right? If not, share the drugs!

Ever see The Machinist? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361862/ Well, me neither, I saw something about it.

RE: good

I'm tough, I can take it.

The next step is gigantic? Do you mean moving? Or maybe you're being deliberately vague and you don't want me to know. Well, it was nice that you talked to me and opened up to me just a bit today. Things are out of your reach? You're so cryptic. :) You could try yoga or screaming (that sometimes helps).

I hope you can get some rest. Not that it's a competition, but I haven't been able to sleep or eat for weeks. I've been super hyper and I'm not sure why. Just nuts, I guess. Or somebody's slipping me some drugs.

Oh well, I had a lot of other things to say, but I'll save them for next time I see you, if I do.

Take care of yourself,

RE: good

Hey,

I know you're a busy lady, so thanks for meeting me - it was great to see you again. Also, I'm sorry if anything I've emailed or posted recently hurt your feelings. Yes, I was angry for a bit, but that has passed. Of course, I have plenty of anger stored up (over other things not related to you - like family), so let me know if you ever need help with Mr. Teacher.

Yes, there are many things on my mind. I feel like my next step is gigantic, so I have to be sure before I do anything. I haven't been able to sleep for the past couple weeks, so really I'm wore out. I need to relax, but I can't - go figure. Maybe I need some yoga? Some things I do to relax are out of reach these days, and I try not to drink.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

good

Thanks for lunch. It was good to see you again, and to see you smile. I've missed that.

Have a good weekend and give mom a hug. She loves her baby. :)

I know you have a lot going on and a lot on your mind. I'm always around if you want to talk.

I'll let you know how the foie gras is. Hm, maybe it would go well with ice cream and Fritos?

Being wrong

You know, it's weird being the bad guy. I guess I've become accustomed to people thinking otherwise. Oh well, I guess I had to be wrong sooner or later.

I'll try not to send too many crazy emails.

RE: Being wrong

You're going to be okay. You know that, right?

RE: Tough

Fake it til you make it? Wow, that sucks and I ain't faking shit. If people don't like it, they can go somewhere else ;) Well, not much to worry about since I don't share much with others.

It will never happen. I hate the heat and Florida.

Have fun with the girls.

RE: Tough

What is happiness, anyway? Well, I won't try to answer that one. I don't know if I'm happy. People say, about lots of things, fake it til you make it. I feel I don't have any right to spread any unhappiness or dissatisfaction or whatever to other people around me, so I'm working very hard to not do that. I don't choose to express every emotion that I have; it can stay inside.

So you are considering a job offer down there? Interesting.

He is out of town this weekend; I spent last night with the girls. Today, I spent all day alone (nice) and am going out with the girls again later to hear some music.

RE: Tough

Yeah, we've discussed happiness - it is a bit elusive if achievable at all. It's probably true that it comes from within - or some other cliché. You deserve it as well, and these days you seem to be close.

The project went well. I was so nervous the first day, I had to give a presentation to a group, but it went well - people seem to be easily impressed. It would probably be a nice place to work, but I'm not sure about Florida. I guess I could become a beach bum like the old man I talked to the other night. He did seem relaxed and smiled a lot, but maybe he was just crazy.

Hope your weekend is going (or goes) well.

RE: Tough

It will come with time, I'm sure. You deserve to be happy with yourself. That's what I want for you.

RE: Tough

Yeah, forgiving myself is one of the - seemingly impossible - things to do. Maybe it just takes time.

Well, I don't think we have communicated so well lately or in the past few months. There have been numerous times where we've had to explain ourselves. Maybe that needs time as well.

RE: Tough

Yes, I think about that all the time. I knew you were angry with me. I thought the best thing would be to leave you alone, but that didn't mean I wasn't hoping that you were doing well and that maybe someday you wouldn't be angry with me. I've spent quite a bit of time alone, thinking about my life. We're all our own worst critics. You're terribly hard on yourself sometimes. You should give yourself a break every once in awhile. And I should give myself a break once in awhile. Getting caught up in worries, fears and doubts can make it too easy not to take care of yourself, and you have to do that.

When you say we seemed (past tense) to communicate well, it makes me wonder if you think that won't be the case again. I'll add it to the list of things I wonder about.

Be well.

Tough

You ever sit back and wonder how you arrived at this point in your life? It is funny (not ha-ha) the decisions we make and the ramifications of each move. I guess it is all a big game of chance. These days I've been feeling a bit scared - scared to make any kind of move. I'm not really worried about making the right move, but I'm very afraid of being wrong. My emotions have been all over the place this past week; it was good to spend some time alone. I was very angry at you and then I wasn't and then I was again, but I'm not now. Really, there was never any reason to be angry with you in the first place. It is more an issue of being angry with me. It is tough to hurt people knowing the blame is solely on my shoulders. Years from now you'll reflect on all of this and realize you dodged a bullet. No, I'm not feeling sorry for myself and I'm not depressed (just in case you're thinking it). I just need to reel myself in and keep an emotional distance from others - less chance of causing trouble.

There was no big point to this message. I just wanted to let you know that I'm alright and I hope you are good. We always seemed to communicate well. I scanned your blog and see that you are doing very well. You deserve good friends and people around you. I always said that you were likeable - just give people a chance to get to know you.

Take care.
