Not Your Average Jane

I'm back from San Marvelous (You had to be at Lucys to understand... :) )... Safely and soundly... Its exactly 165.4 miles from the La Quinta parking lot to the townhouse... took about 3 hours or so, much better than yesterday's 4 hour trek in the rain... ugh.... I hate rain... And it rained almost ALL the way yesterday... Today was nice and clear and warm to boot....
So lets see... went to NB, and Gruene, went to the hotel in San Mark, napped, got ready and went to Lucy's bout 9 or so... ran into Stu and Elise, and Gage... opening band was a guy named Jarrod Francis, looked like a skinnier Bleu.... Yeah that didnt help me any.... Then the Trailers came on and rocked... as always... they played some new stuff and I realllllly loved Chicken Fried, Ryder sang (see why I love it? :) ) and it was just a very cool song... I behaved myself much to my own amazement (and I'm sure everyone elses too...).... I was actaully on the quiet side... I was still worrying about Brian and missing B2 (i guess cuz I'd been in NB?) and just woken up like an hour b4 I got there.... There was a drama with Gruene though... I couldn't figure out how to get there since Gruene Rd was flooded... as in the river was over the damn bridge... I stopped and got directions (its been over a year since I had to go the other way so I forgot, so sue me...).... I was half afraid of running into Doug but I never did... load off my mind... I really shouldnt WANT to live in NB after the B2 drama, but I still do... Its not just him about the town I like... I love the history there.... How the wooden floor boards creak when you walk on them, Gruene Hall decorated for Christmas, the Gristmill.... Its just like, whats NOT to love... then I remember HIM... yeah.... THATS some history for ya... I dont even know why I'm thinking about him so much lately... Sure his bday was over a week ago and its the first one in almost 5 years I haven't been there for it... after all I've been through because of him, I still would take him back in a new york minute and every time he calls me for a booty call it takes all my self control (and then some....) to turn him down... I missed him enough to wear his nasty old ball cap he left in my car.... Thats just gross.... Least I made some really killa friends through him.. Way and W (who proved himself the best of friends today when I called him on 10, to talk about old drama - even though I swore I wouldn't ever again - I'd still make the same decisions and take the same actions I did at the time....)and Randall are some of the most awesome guys I know.... Next to my guys of course.... :) So here's my new personal mantra (so to speak) NO MORE MUSICIANS. They make lousy significant others (with a few exceptions) but great friends.... I'm not even allowed to make exceptions to this for B2, Way, Willie Braun, Potter, Ryder OR Randall..... I'd love to make exceptions but if I do I'm only gonna be setting myself up for disappointment and heart ache... I know its not a guarentee of never getting hurt again but its a good way to try... Doesn't mean I cant flirt.... I dont think I can NOT flirt.... :0) So I think I'm gonna start taking a more active role in my love life and not just wait for it to happen (see how well THATS worked!?!?)...
anyway my birthday kicked ass except for the whole rain thing... I did learn some things I might not have known if I hadn't have gone like I thought about doing becuz of the rain... Mom is still conviced Nat went with me... Both aunt Pam and Bonnie called me today to wish me a happy bday, thinking my bday was on the 7th... Um, no.... 26 years its been on the 6th, thats not about to change.... And Aunt bonnie was bound and determined Matthew (her only son)'s bday was the day after mine... No, its in September, like the 23rd or 24th... This has to tell you how bonkers my family has gone.... Its kinda sad really...
anyway thats about it for now I think.... laters....
