In other news... For the handful of people that aren't aware by now... I am in fact returning to U of O for the fall semester... I leave on like the 21st of August.... Registration is the 22nd and classes start the 23rd... though my first class won't be till the 24th... As I'm only registered for 9 hours of all Monday Wednesday Friday classes.... I'm also back in Maclean... This time the basement... whoo hoo.... I talked with a friend of mine earlier and I think I won't mess with my schedule the way I thought about doing... So I'll take British Lit (MWF at 1 with Strain), instead of Civil War and Reconstruction (TR at 8 AM with Steve Oatis)... I figure thats a better choice in general... 8 am ain't happening for me and with Steve Oatis one of the few people who bore me to tears, regardless of the material. I'd love to take a class on the Civil War it intrigues me but not with him and not at 8 am... Sorry, Charlie... I guess I'll just watch the Civil War series of DVDs and the History Channel... No biggie... I'm like addicted to the History channel in the last couple of weeks.... Stuff about the old west, military history, disasters, modern marvels, world war 2 (lots on that.... ),opium and the Chinese in America, and even one about side show freaks..... Its really interesting and I don't feel so much like my mind is turning to mush anymore.... I'm not used to so much mental inactivity.....
other stuff.... I decided to try netflix... only 10 $'s a month for unlimited rentals, no late fees.... sounds promising but we'll see.... It should be very helpful for the 3 monthes I'm in Arkansas if I do keep doing it.... This month is free so that rocks....
I'm also trying to plan all the shows and things I need to do before I leave and even having almost a month left it doesn't feel like there's enough time for everything I want to do.... ugh....
Another thing about goin back to school... Mom and I sat down and had a serious chat about money.... She told me if I got all A's (a B is acceptable but not encouraged) in all 3 classes she would pay for an apartment for me for 3 monthes while I jobhunt.... Anywhere I want and she'll get me started furniture wise.... How awesome is that?
On the other said of the coin she did say if for some reason I didn't pass with flying colors and graduate she was cutting me off and I couldn't move home, I'd have to stay in Arkansas (logic fails here, we won't know my grades till almost New Years and I'll have been home a week or so... Since they send the grades in the mail and not on the computer like every other normal university in the 21st century does....). Very black and white.... No pressure at all. Not that I don't plan to pass with flying colors incentives or not.... Its just now I can feel the pressure more and earlier....
more fun stuff... helped mom in her classroom today for a couple of hours... ran into Jenny i blank on her maiden name but she married daryl and changed to his last name of seltzer and I went to high school with both of them, and chatted for a few... She and Daryl have been living with his parents for the last 4 monthes and this weekend are moving into their first place together... aw... also it turns out another MHS alum is goin to be the art teacher at Bunker Hill... Wow that brings the total to 3 so far... Can they not stay away? :)
thats about it for now... no guy news.... no jobhunting news (not jobhunting since I'm goin back to school in less than a month).... haven't heard from Julie or Nat about doing lunch.... I'll call Nat in a day or 2 and see if she still wants to.... now I'm just blabbing.... laters.

Last night after I left the Firehouse (I’ll talk about that in a second) I get a phone call from him… So I went and met him at IHOP for a late dinner/early breakfast… Got there at like 3 and we didn’t leave till after the sun came up. We talked, we laughed, we ate… Nothing more… It was rather pleasant… I’m not sure I can or should trust this apparent change…. Can a zebra really change his stripes so much? Not that I EVER intend to have anything more than perhaps a casual friendship with him ever again, Lord only knows what sort of STDs he has… I am going to go to that wedding with him later today and to the reception for a bit, but I’m taking my own car and leaving early so I can help Linz move…. I came home and went to sleep till Linz called me at 11. I got up and picked her up. Went and got my copy of the new Harry Potter (I’ve already gotten to page 104), we went to Anthro (otherwise known as cute stuff I can’t afford or find my size in) and then to Target… I got back about 3, ate a late lunch and took a nice long nap. Woke up when Linz called me about 7 to see if I needed my car tonight. I told her to go ahead and keep it since I didn’t plan to go out tonight. I didn’t plan to… But Sean called me at about 8 to see what was going on. I told him nothing, he invited me out to his place where everyone was gathering… I told him my dilemma (ie having no car) and it turns out B hadn’t left town yet and came and picked me up. Got out there by 9ish and hung out… B brought me home, no weirdness involved, thank goodness. So here I be.
So I went to see Bleu at the Firehouse Friday night, after having Pei Wei for dinner… Yummers… Met up with Richelle and Nicole….
This band, Backporch Mary opened for him… Pretty good lil band… One I may eventually but the CD for even… Very rockabilly sound, nice… Not much for eye candy though… The lead singer was Jason Biggs kinda cute, but married, the guitarist, tall and skinny and just weird looking… The drummer, eh… The bassist… Like one of the characters from Cry Baby (one of the Drapes if you’re familiar with it) or if you don’t know about that, then Cheesy Balding James Dean or John Travolta’s character in Grease, though not as cool…. Massive sideburns and the weird hairdo but about shaved to a buzzcut on top and long on the sides with receding hairline and thinning blond hair… And yes he really did think he was cool…. Went up to talk to the lead singer later and he was with the James Dean wanna be… Nicole commented about the lead singer being hot but married and he commented that he wasn’t single but James Dean wanna be was… I grabbed her and made a quick excuse about seeing someone we needed to talk to… Rude but effective… He could have been the world’s nicest guy for all I know but after watching him play a bass with leopard print fuzzy stuff and a half naked chick on it AND try to hump it, I really was SOOO not feeling him… I ran into a bunch of people I know, which is always awesome… Then there was a guy there that looked like HIM… I had to keep looking back at him, tryin to see if it was or not… It wasn’t but the resemblance was scary… Had the same hot bod and hair color but upon closer inspection, didn’t have the tats or dimples and the nose was completely off… His is more crooked…. So Bleu comes on about 11 or so and I have to literally hold Richelle a couple of times so she doesn’t attack Dickey… He ends about 1 or so, then comes back and does a 3 song encore… Hung out for a bit afterwards… Got to do a lot of touching of the booties… Always fun… Got a bit of a backrub from one of the doorguys… Left and got that phone call….
So I have a whole list of stuff I need to do before I go back to school, shows I want to go to, places I want to go…. Mom’s still in Baton Rouge, till Monday maybe even Tuesday… I haven’t even started the list of stuff she wants me to do… All cleaning stuff, lucky me and I really need to…. Ugh… I think I’m goin to try to read some more Harry Potter and eventually go to bed… laters.

I've realized in the last few days that I'm really bad at keeping touch with people.... Like I send those darn email forwards but I haven't talked to a lot of my friends that live outside Houston in a while.... lisey called me last night and that just kinda reinforced that.... talking to nathan today was the exception and not the rule... I use to talk to melly and/becca like every couple of days.... i've got friends I can't remember the last time i talked to them.... and thats kinda sad...
Doesn't say much since I have such a shoddy memory but thats besides the point.... So what I aim to do about it I have no idea....
Tommorow my plans.... Wilma's supposed to call me back to figure out school stuff.... I need to write a letter to Tim to get some $$$ to live on.... I'll prolly help Linz move a bit more.... I need to get gas in the 4runner.... I'm cruising right above e.... Tommorrow night is Throwback Thursdays (or 3 man jams whichever you prefer to call em) with brett, cory and eric... One of my favorite nights of the week.... Matt might be there as may that guy from last week.... Ya never know.... And maybe I'll even get to hear Tally Ho.... Darn Kyle Redd for impressing me.... Seriously that man can play a mean guitar.... He also looks like Colin Farrell, which is just a nice bonus.... I may go see Bleu Friday at the Firehouse... Haven't decided yet.... I might also go to see Mark Miller open up for Cooder Graw... I'm not a big Cooder fan but Mark's purty good.... He's got this song Arsonist I've had stuck in my head for the last day or so.... Friday morning the AC guy is supposed to be coming between 9 am and noon and mom and la are goin to Baton Rouge.... Mom's not sure if they're coming back Monday or Tuesday, it depends on when the furniture people can come.... I really do have a lot to say today... wow..... :) But for now.... This is it.... I think....
laters.
Even though I know he reads this I'm going to write about him anyway... Just cuz I have to work whatever this is out.... And I do that best by writing... Since I don't really keep a private journal since I discovered the blog... Here is be...
I got a call from B today... Evidently he read my things about the ex... And what I'd said about him... Even though I never named him, he was there at the time so he knows whats going on... He was rather panicked
or at least thats how he sounded to me. I could be wrong I admit it but he sounded worried. Not just about me either, I can't put my finger on what exactly he could be worried about... First thing out of his mouth was... So are you sure you're over him? Immediately I tease him as I tend to do.... But he was persistent so finally I told him the truth. Yes I'm over him. Have been for a while. I thought B knew that. Turns out he's still in a little bit of doubt about that.... And here I thought I had made myself perfectly clear... No more of his shit will I take. Even if he came back to me begging on hands and knees, bags of gold, chocolate on his back and pulling a wagonfull of baseball players I wouldn't get back together with him.... I don't know if I used that precise comparison but it was close. It was also true. Still is. He's proven over and over he's not worthy of me or my trust. What's that old saying... Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me? Yeah, there will be no strike three for this boy... He's out on the 2nd strike... We're changing the rules of my metaphorical baseball game.... :) Anyway, I got the feeling B's trying to start something... With me. Again. And I have no idea what it is or what to do or what to think even... Its all so darn vexing.... He's good looking, certainly enough... That's kind of a big fat DUH... He's one of my best friends and he actually understands what goes on in my mind.... There's a shocker for ya.... And there is chemistry... Amazing chemistry.... But would I ever pursue anything other than friendship with him? He's told me time and again he's in love with me.... And I admit that frightens me.... Cuz I like him.... I respect him... I admire him.... I love him.... He's one of my nearest and dearest..... But IN love with him? I don't know. Do I want to find out? This may sound harsh and perhaps it is... But I don't think I want to... I have so much crap because of school to deal with and I've never been fully independent, do I really want to attempt a relationship with someone at this time? Sure it'd be nice to have a nice steady Friday date... But I know he could never be happy with just being a steady date, he'd want and deserve more... But I don't know that I can give that to him.... And I was talking to Nate about this earlier and he pointed out the fact love is never convenient.... Big help there, thanks, Nateypoo.... *insert massive eyeroll* So yeah, I really haven't figured out jack shit. ah well... its sorta helped to write about it.... laters...
and the chick i need to talk to at U of O wasn't there and won't be in till tomorrow so i have to wait yet another day.....
at least i reserved my copy of the new Harry Potter today.... :)
thats it for now... i reserve the right to write again later if i so chose... :P
laters.
If anyone can dream big dreams, it's you. After all, you love to go to extremes with everything and you really don't do anything on a small scale. If you've been having the same dream for a while, whether it's at night or while you're gazing out the window in the afternoon, don't feel silly about it. Dreams are symbolic, and they often point out the next step in the road. Pay attention to yours now.
Cuz yeah I've been having the same dream about the ex for the last couple of nights.... And lord knows I don't want to work for him.... But on the other hand if horoscopes are right....
Daily Flirt:Everybody loves you! That's obvious enough, but it's even more noticeable today. Use your recent surge in popularity to organize something fun, like a big outing or maybe even a romantic getaway.
Daily Singles:It's hard to balance your need for freedom with your desire for romance and long-term love. Fortunately, it's possible. Keep your eye out for a fellow adventurer who really gets you.
wowza....
and on the other hand...
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The stars might have you feeling edgy or even a tad vengeful. You wish that certain someone would call just so you can hang up on him. Channel this aggressive energy into something productive -- like weeding the garden.
Edgy yes... vengeful? no. And how could I weed a garden even if we had one its raining cats and dogs!!!!! Maybe I should just ignore them all together.... laters....
He asked if I was ok... I was like yeah, no reason not to be... He said I was was being really quiet.... I chuckled and explained about my mom... We caught up and he invited me to a wedding this weekend... I told him I'd think about it.... He didn't beg or plead he just said to just let him know... He apoligized for kinda waking me up (I had just laid down) and told me to go back to bed... I told him it was ok but I went ahead and said good night anyway.... That was my wow moment for the week literally...
My emotions weren't thrown into turmoil this time.... And we talked like 2 civilized adults.... It was very odd... Nice but odd... So I guess we're back on speaking terms? I don't know if I'll go with him to the wedding or not, kinda late in the game to be asking but I'll think about it like I told him.... And no, that doesn't mean I'm willing to take him back or have ulterior motives... He might but I certainly don't.... I don't trust him and he knows that... It just means I want to go to this wedding and he happens to be going and invited me. Plain and simple.
other news... I was going to go to kay's last night.... I got caught up in a book I was reading and didn't think about getting ready till almost 930.... By then I realized the all star game was on and kinda said screw it.... AL won... I won either way.... AL has my BoSox and NL has my Stros.... I'm a girl for all leagues or something.... :)
Not much else occuring... Besides La wanting to use the computer.... So i have to go.... laters....
Monday, July 11, 2005
The fact I have entirely too much time here lately gives me time to think about things I shouldn't like about them and what happened.... The What Ifs and Should Haves Could Haves and Would Haves.... But those are the things that can bog you down if you're not careful I know.... And I'm trying not to let it get me down but its hard.... I need a new hobby or something.... Something that gets me out of the house, out of my own mind.... Any suggestions? I'm open to anything.... But if things keep up the way they are I'll only be in town another month or so.... So its like what can I do? And I'm already fucking homesick..... I haven't even left yet and already I miss home.... Dammit....
My head is tired.... My bank account is nearing empty as is my gas tank... My emotions are all over the place and my heart hurts.... I'm close to calling him to see if we could somehow scrounge up some semblance of friendship because I miss having him in my life...
ok on to other stuff.... a little more chipper if you will... Never did call U of O today... Mom got busy with La and her moving stuff.... She then sent me off to get some pillows she had re re done.... it started pouring on me.... lovely... then we actually wrote an email to Wilma (the registar at U of O) cuz we decided it would be better to have it all written down to cover everything... So I went to Borders and spent almost an hour and a half there.... there were some hot boys there.... one was in the religion section... theres a no no... another was with his girlfriend... nother no no.... I bust a gut in the religion section by accident.... I was goin like I was gonna hit on the cute boy there and I looked at the books there to sorta inch my way closer and look for an opener... And I saw on one row Mormons... and right below that Barbour.... I started laughing like nothing else, cuz I'd didn't know Kev had written a book on his way of life.... Picked it up and turned out to be about scientology.... Ah well, it was still rather humorous... Came home and had a turkey sandwich and read a book.... now here I be.... whoo hoo....if you're looking for me Tuesday.... I'm running an errand or 2 over by the Galleria and taking care of some stuff for mom... Then Tuesday night is Dub Miller's thing at Kays.... if you need me, try my cell..... ok now I'm kinda hungry now... darnit..... ah well.... maybe I'll grab a snack and watch a movie... I'm not tired enough to sleep yet.... laters.
Sunday, July 10, 2005
Lets see... Tommorrow I'm calling U of O to get some answers to some questions... Mom wants to be in on the call and I might as well let her, she'll do it anyway and if I do it alone she'll ask all kinds of questions if I dont have the right answers to she'll call and do it herself.... I love her but she drives me nuts that way.... People wonder why I have a tendency to take over and tell em what to do... She's the reason why....
Though she was really sweet to offer to drive up to Arkansas with me, cuz she knows how much I hate the drive and then fly back from Little Rock... She also volunteered to go with me to U of H if I got an appointment with a real live person and I think thats a good idea cuz I'm not real sure how to state the questions I have.... and then theres the fact if I do it on my own she'll have questions that I prolly won't have the right answers to and she'll want to talk to someone herself.... She's very hands on that way... I love her for it but it annoys me too....
Lets see... Went to see Honeybrowne last night.... Had fun (of course)... Got to see Eric Brendan with a full band... Not too shabby at all.... Ran into Cam's best friend, Kevin.... Almost hit on him before I realized who he was.... Had a huge oh shit moment.... He was skinny as a rail and his hair was really short but his face was the same, a little less tan but the same.... It was weird.... That guy from Thursday wasn't there.... Got home about 130 and went to bed... slept till almost 1... Yeah I was a lil tired.... Got up, went to the store for mom, hung out with the family, ate dinner with em and then watched Into The West.... Went to Randalls for donuts and ran into a hottie... Swear to God he was like Sean's twin... Down to like the star tattoos on each shoulder.... I had to do a double take literally... I almost called him Sean, turns out his name was Jason... Oops... Ah well, random hotties at the store are greatness.... He was a musician too, surprise, surprise..... Just my luck....
I called Sean as I left and I was talking to him in the parking lot and it turns out Jason was parked next to me.... He sorta gave me a lil wave... I think someone somewhere was tryin to tell me something...
So yesterday.... I ran some errands and spent almost an hour at Petsmart playing with the kittens... SOOO cute.... One of them was Shadow and wanted nothing more than to be cuddled... And was very insistant (sp?) about that.... So cute... I was so relaxed when I came home so I'm thinking what the psychologists say about petting animals being a relaxant (sp?)...
this weekend I may be helping Lauren move... Or goin to the firehouse since BEB is there Friday and Cooder Graw is there Saturday with Mark Miller opening... Saturday may be one time I go just to see the opener.... I've done that a handful of times... I'm not a big CG fan, but I love to hear me some Arsonist.... :) Thursday Doug Moreland's at the Armadillo Palace but its also the same night at the 3 man jam.... Decisions, decisions..... I'll prolly wind up at the 3 man jam just cuz i dig it... and I think Doug's coming back to town sometime in August too...
the astros won.... my future hubbie was pitching of course... gawd that man has a great ass.... Now they'll have 4 days off for all star week.... Oswalt, Biggio and Lidge will all be there... All good choices.... Much as I adore him, Backe hasn't made that many stellar plays this season... thats about it for now.... laters....
Friday, July 08, 2005
So mom got back tonight... at about 830 or so.... La made brownies and I made mom and john nachos for dinner.... We visited till like 10 or so and then I went to Krogers to get her some milk for her latte in the morning... I'm way too nice.... She also told me before she went to bed not to go to bed too late 2 night cuz she wants us all to hang out 2morrow.... I told her the only plans I have are to meet up with Chad and some friends at the Firehouse to see Honeybrowne but that didn't start till like 830 or 9.... I was going to go to the Gap and Best Buy but those can wait... I don't get to hang with mom and la very often, so I'll take advantage of that....
We got to talking when she first got back and I got the impression she thinks that I'm for sure goin back to Arkansas in August and is wondering why I'm still jobhunting... From what I understood, and what I told her, is that thats the back up plan for if the U of H idea doesn't work out and I need a job for the rest of the summer for $$$.... She shut up.... Wow, how often can I shut her up like that? :) But yeah to her way of thinking, I'm overdoing it and I should be just sitting around waiting for August... But that might just be me... She is the one who is usually ragging me about working and money, so I don't know... confusing woman.... But she brought back those dried chocolate covered cherries we all love.... 4 POUNDS WORTH!!! That'll last us till like Monday.... If that.... hehehe.... We're not sweet freaks or anything.... Nah....
not much else going on.... laters...
I met a guy tonight.... A not really hot but scruffy good looking guy... One who has a good sense of humor and the same name as my father... An ex baseball player.... A guy whose graduated college and is pursuing his goal of teaching here in town (he's getting certified right now). He acted single (didn't drink doubles.... hehehe...) and straight (no gay man would allow himself to look so unkept). Best of all... He's NOT a musician. He doesn't want to be a musician. He can't even play a musical instrument.... How awesome is that? Why am I not in bed with him right now? No idea.
I did tell him I'd be at Honeybrowne Saturday and I'm there every Thursday so we'll see if I run into him again.... If I do ya never know... ;)
The hot friend never showed tonight.... Which really vexs me. Course he could have done what he did last week and show up at 12:30... But it ended early tonight like 12 and I left about 12 20, so I may have missed him if he showed.... No idea what to do about him.... There was a guy that showed up that could have been his twin in a cowboy hat, a little taller and without all the tattoos... Why didn't I jump him? It weirded me out that he shaved his arms.... Yeah its the little things sometimes that get ya.... Or me in this case.... The fact that the hot friend shaves his legs I can live with, but if a guy shaves his arms... yeah.... Why that weirds me out after the whole dating a swimmer (he shaved EVERYTHING) thing you'd think that wouldn't weird me out... But it does.... ah well.... he did have a very nice ass.... :)
Lets see.... I have an interview in the morning at the Parish school for a teaching assistant job.... 9:30.... groan.... its off the beltway.... double groan.... So I'm goin to try to leave here about 845 and if I'm there early all the better.... :)
Also found out last night that I'm being talked about.... Wow and here I am thinking I'm all low key and shit.... Ah well... I'm just laughing it off cuz its absolutely ludicrous.... Someone told me there are rumors that I'll screw over anyone in order to get with a musician.... I've 'gotten' with like one musician and never hurt a soul while we were dating... And I dont know if whoever's talking actually knows I even dated him.... Ah well... People will talk if they want to... And make up shit when they have a need for vengeance...
Besides... Most of my friends are musicians or in the music biz somehow... I hang with them cuz we're tight, not cuz I want to get with them.... Does anyone know how a semi successful musician lives? Not the best way to conduct a relationship believe you me....
Mom gets back from Michigan tommorrow (shes in Missouri right now) so I'm gonna skip Burke at the Sidecar to not only hang with her, but to save $$$.... Then I'll go to HB at the Firehouse with Eric Brendan opening and maybe that Lewis guy will be there.... ;)
thats about it... i think I'm gonna hit the hay....hay hay.... :)
laters.

So I got a phone call today from the Parish School... I have an interview for a teachers assistant job on Friday.... Only bad thing is... The interviews at 930 in the morning off the Beltway (Hammerly and Brittmore to be exact), so I ..... Wait a sec... I'm going to be going against traffic so it shouldn't be that bad.... Still its about 20 minutes away... Not too bad... Hopefully something comes of it.... Cuz being broke sucks worse than a hoover....
Mom gets home Friday... I think.... She said she'd be back in town Friday but I think she may stay over at Johns if they get back late in the evening... Late for her being 8 ish... :)
So I washed the car tonight... Like went to Target got the soap and stuff and did it myself... Took like half an hour and I did almost everything but the inside and the windows... And then it rained. What the hell?
I may do it again tomorrow out of sheer boredom and the fact I think I have more than enough dirt on it for another 2 or 3 washes....
Boys.... Can I just have em all? And why hasn't Brown Bagger called me back? I text him last night and I still don't have an answer.... Hopefully tomorrow night his hot friend will be at the Firehouse... I've also though a lot about this last weekend... I had a lot of what ifs and stuff.... But there's nothing I can do about that now i know... Its just nice to think about....
A friend I hadn't talked to in a while (also an old crush) called me tonight... We talked for a while, caught up and all that good jazz.... But I got off the phone and I realized something... (aside from the fact I seem to be realizing a lot of tonight) My heart was pounding and my stomach had butterflies and my palms were sweaty.... Like I was nervous talking to him.... And I'm not... And I don't know why this happened with him of all people... I'm not attracted to him, we have very little in common, yet we're still friends somehow... He's not the easiest person to talk to and we never get to hang out anymore... So what the heck is going on here?
I went to Kay's last night and found out Dub hurt himself so the songwriters thing was canceled.... But Cory and Kyle (I still say he looks like Colin Farrell) still did their thing... I left early to go to Kemah to meet the boys... We stayed up late talking and stuff and I came home at like 7 this morning and fell into bed till about 11 when the girls came over... Of course they thought I was merely lazy not that I'd only had 5 hours of sleep... Ah, what they don't know.... Won't hurt them but its killing me.... (I love Aaron Watson.... :) )
Also I got an Ingram Hill CD at Target... I'd heard a couple of songs in Sean's car and it was only 8 $'s... Not bad... They remind me of Matchbox 20 or 3 Doors Down... I still want to get the Offspring Greatest Hits, but that'll have to wait.... MUST FIND JOB FIRST. :)
There's something I've realized lately... In doing nothing but Texas music stuff... Galley, shows, CDs, in the car, on the IPOD, etc.... I've kind of ODed on it... Like I'm still going to a few shows (mainly Tuesdays at Kay's and Thursdays at the Firehouse), this weekend I may go to the sidecar Friday and Firehouse Saturday, but I'm realizing I've been neglecting part of myself... Part of my soul... I've come to figure that out here lately.... I used to listen to punk all the time, 24/7/365 and I sort of drifted away from that into Texas music.... Which isn't a bad thing, I just went full throttle from one to the other... I need to find some balance between the 2 so my soul will be at peace... Like going to the river and stuff... I would really rather go to the beach... Feel the sand between my toes... Get sand in all the annoying places you don't like it and tar too... Those things are comforting to me... I don't know why.... Its like I know the dangers there and I've got good memories there... The river... Not so much... Every time I've gone toobing something bad has happened... So my association with the river... Not so good... The lake's aight... But I just love going to the beach... I used to joke I could never leave Houston cuz its so close to everything... I'm an hour from the beach, an hour from the coast, a couple of hours from Austin, the live music capital of the world, and my immediate family is all here.... (though in a few weeks, La's gonna be in Baton Rouge...) I've been thinking... (dangerous I know) maybe I don't ever want to leave Houston.... I don't know... I grew up here, its home and I know my way around (for the most part).... Its just me rambling at this point... My photobucket has been updated with pics of the Trailers at the Surf Club and pics from River Jam last weekend.... http://photobucket.com/albums/v416/alibob78/
Sean told me I should say something that sounded all deep and intellectual... So here it is.... Which came first the chicken or the egg?
If Sally really does sell seashells by the seashore, then does that mean she gathers them too? And when Jack jumped over the candle stick did the fire burn his ass or did he jump high enough he couldn't feel it? Or perhaps he had such a rush of adrenaline or endorphines that he couldn't feel anything? Are God, Allah, and Buddha all the same being, just in different faiths? Thats enough depth for now I think....
I'm outtie... laters.

On to other stuff.... Happier stuff... This weekend I went to New Braunfels... Actaully, 11 miles from NB, 11 from Seguin, and 11 San Marvelous... The Texas River Jam was Saturday... I got there about 3 or so and it was hotter than Hades... Saw Jay and Matt and their various significant others... Met some cute boys (don't I always? :) ), drank a shitload of DP, and had a lot of fun... I flirted of course (there were hot boys there, you think I wouldnt?!?!?!), but I couldn't get him outta my head.... I don't know why but I kept thinking what it might be like if he was there.... I was so tempted to call hot boy and make sure I had his phone # right so I could call him.... Turns out I didn't have to, if the number I have is right, then elise called him for me... Sorta.... She was answering a text from Gage and somehow she had my phone book opened and on his name.... She pushed send and dropped it... Then she grabbed it and pushed end... So I don't know if it went through or not... Its weird I barely know him and he feels like a freaking addiction or something.... He's not the hottest guy I know, so what is it about him? The military thing? I know lots of them and I'm not crazy about them like I am him... The muscles or musician thing? No. I know alot guys that have muscles or are musicians, a few have both.... So what is it about this one particular guy that I can't live without? Maybe its the fact he's polite and had manners and a lot of people these days don't... Its not cuz he's friends with Brown Bagger, if anything that would be a strike against him... Yet another after the name/past and present occupations thing....
ANYWAY... I was at River jam... got to see Burke and Ryan Turner again... I was very demanding... I made Ryan play all my favorite songs that he does... And he was really sweet and did the ones I asked for.... I dig that... I swear that boy says good bye more than I do... But he's so adorable we'll forgive him... Met a few other guys I would have hit it with but alas... I couldn't... Not just for the whole preoccupation with him thing either.... That was a bit of it... 2 left too early, another hooked up with another girl, another one never showed, and one is still way too young for me... Though I did have a really good dream about him this morning.... ;)
So I came back yesterday about 2... Ate lunch and showered and then slept till 6.... I woke up and ate dinner and went to Blockbuster.... Watched some movies and read a book.... Gage drunk dialed me, told me why he couldn't make it the night before and I understood but didn't like it.... Went to bed about 4 this morning and woke up at noon.... I also found out when I got home from La that mom's not due back in town till the 9th.... WTF?!?! That was one of the reasons I came back early... The whole ex and his current girl being at the Icehouse, driving, and dealing with holiday traffic were the others.... But Mom was the main one.... Ah well.... I'll live....
I have no idea what I'm doing today or tonight, but I guess I'll figure it out while I'm doing it.... I'm going to call the boys and see what they're up to... First to shower and water the yard... Laters....

I even woke up dreaming about him... He was on a smoky stage, guitar strapped on, singing the Blue's Clues song (turns out that was on when I woke up, so yeah... talk about your environment affecting your dreams...) and then he went into another song and in my dreams its like a movie to me.... so the camera in my mind panned out and I see myself, at a candlelight table for 2, head propped up on my hands, staring up at him... The whole place looked like some old jazz club or something... It was nice...
I'm going to call Brown Bagger later today and ask for his number.... If BB asks why... I'm going to joke I want to jump his bones and then be like nah, I just want to see if he's playing around here anytime soon.... Its been Kevin approved so it oughta work....
enough about BB's hot friend... no real news otherwise... Mom's in Michigan still... This is la's last week at work... Linz I haven't talked to lately.... I need to call Nat and see how she's doing.... Haven't talked to her a while.... No new on the job front but I have a shit load of errands to run before I can be ready to leave for TRJ tommorrow....
I do have a hypothetical question though.... Say a girl who you hadn't talked to in a while reappeared in your life. Not just any girl but one who had caused nothing but trouble (and not in a good Ali mischievous way in the bad homewrecker what shall i do next murder someone way...).... What would you do? I don't want to trust her (ok so its not hypothetical) since she's proved herself 2 faced, but at the same time she seems as though she's changed... So I don't know....
The boys tried to talk me into going to Humble at 2 this morning.... (or whenever I left the Firehouse) and I spent 5 minutes telling them no and then hung up on them... Bad Ali... Actually I said I'd call them today to see about dinner... Love ya bye.... Not as bad as it could have been but I dont usually do that.... I was just in a mood most of yesterday and it continued a little as I left the FH.... Ah well...
so I'm going to go change and run change clothes and start running my errands.... have to find a cooler and a few other things.... laters.
