There is nothing more annoying then writing about a page and a half of your thoughts, and then loosing it to a random computer glitch. Grrrr….
Recap from the blur that is the last few days….
I have returned to the city that’s slogan remains “Just add Water,” after a non-eventful, but great trip to the land of enchantment with the baby sister.
Moments that were memorable:
Thursday; rather than meet up with anyone, I pass out from exhaustion and a severe migraine.
Friday: Meet up with C. Sis gets a surprise gift, as do I. I always do love getting Cd’s. Meet up with J-low. She loves her birthday gift I picked her up.
Saturday: Roam the city for anything fun, settle on J-low for the sis, I have a brief visit with someone special, and call the tattoo artist for a consultation. After ‘ritas at Chilis, we all head to the race track. Despite being in dirt, feeling ‘spit on’ by the weather, and despite not understanding anything going on, we learn to waive at the drivers, make cracks at everything around us, and somehow have a blast.
Sunday: Brunch and Shopping with C, I wear his cologne, and think it smells better on me, good times.
Later that day, put briefly—‘Sneak’ sister into punk show through back alley,
Ticket cost $16.
Seven multi-band buttons$2
Demo CD: $1
Fighting in the mash pit for a cd thrown into the crowd: Free
Grabbing a t-shirt thrown in the mosh pit: Free
Set a bad example, steal two “Vote for something” buttons off stage: Free
Having a cardboard box thrown at us from one of the bands with nothing left: Free
Having some guy step on me and leave me a bruise for a day: Free
Having little sister go kick that guys ass in her first mosh pit: awww, PRICELESS.
Later that night, personal life as I know it changes, but more on that later….
Monday: Wake up confused and lost. Turn to someone who I knew would understand me and left his presence feeling better as always. Um, Movies, rented, borrowed, watched. Over and over again. C, comes over; life is still weird and now I’m lost on who to share with…dodgeball occurs.
Tuesday: Take sis out to the movies and watch the one movie I probably don’t need to see: 13 going on 30. Sis laughs at me and my dilemma, but I take it with a light heart.
Invite friends to do take out, and rented movies, the housemate brings a box of wine home with her, and it becomes a memorable night.
Wednesday: AH-HAH: I know this one: John Mayer Marron 5 show. WE got soaked. Rather than buy ponchos to protect us from the rain, we got pretzels. Sis says she could care less about John Mayer but that his sax player was HOT. That’s okay I tell her, as John Mayer was singing directly at me, and I am positive that he isin love with me now. Okay, well maybe not, but with tickets like ours, center stage 7th row, and close enough to where I can have that delusion, YEAH, it was pretty bad ass. (I still think he loves me). Broke my glasses in scrambling amongst the ‘glitter bunnies’ for a guitar pick thrown (at me because JM loves me, --jk, alright it’s getting old). –Of course I got it, and now my sis has it proudly, claiming it’s hers. I see everything, and everyone I want to and leave feeling pretty damned good, despite being told yet again that I need to learn how to be patient.
I am patient, I just like getting what I want as soon as I possibly can. Lol. Like fun. E.g.: After the show, we get kicked out of the Pavilion for rolling down the grass hills, but die laughing. So worth it.
We left the lights on, but miraculously the car starts and we fight the traffic and head bang to music that is completely different than what we just watched. Head over to where even ice cream doesn’t help C find his smile L
Thursday 2pm-5pm: Tattoo artist gives me love advice, shares about his children as I share about my sister, oh yeah, and alters my body forever. J I tip him well; both him and I are pleased. J-low is “disappointed”—I have a naked lady on my back; hee hee hee. 19 yr old boy approaches me at the Target parking lot. I give him my number and when he calls, it’s an ego boost. Meet up with Sisters; meet a new sister from FL. Visit the Phi’s, cause ‘drama’ as the ex would be the one to answer the door. It gets uncomfortable and we leave to go to my “new-soon to be house.” A few glasses of wine later and with friends all around, all seems better.
Friday: J-low goes above and beyond; she ends up taking care of the sis as I pass out in pain from the tattoo. Catch up with Playa playa on the phone, but after a rap session with J-low, I feel the Jiminy Cricket in my head telling me to go to bed. 15 minutes before he’s supposed to come by, I get a message on my phone and feel re-assured as I tell my 2am playmate, I’ll catch him at a later date, as my heart never was the type to let my body do what it wants.
Saturday and Time to go home: After a ruff encounter with the Ex, the T-mobile lady has managed to separate my account, allow me to keep my own number and phone, and magically, keep all forwarding address information “confidential.” This did not prevent the call to my cell-- ten minutes later—an hour later, I believe it’s resolved; I reiterate that I was the one who packed my boxes, left my home, my school, my job, and I’m not about to loose my friends. Nothing personal I just won’t allow anyone to dictate the friends I see, regardless of where they live.
Drive home: Sister plays her John Mayer/ Maroon 5 cd over and over again, her first sign that shows me she really enjoyed the concert.
More later; hurt seems to want to remind me of how grounded my world is
