Some of the strangest conversations in my life...


06-16-03

-On this day in the year 2000- "But what do I expect from this anyway? Some fairytale...with a magical happy ending...Like the knight in shining armor all da da da da. (sticks finger in the air...the "saves the day" pose)"

It's so funny how things come full circle. (and because of a conversation I had last night, whenever I hear, use, or read the word 'circle' I think circle jerking) Seriously though, 3 years ago on this very day, I was going through a frighteningly similar situation. But I don't want to talk about that right now.

~Who is he, Mr. Rand McNally?~

I stayed up all night last night. And it seems like I'll be doing the same tonight. I really don't want to. It depends on how long this takes. It's already 4am and technically the 17th. But I'm writing about the 16th so...you get it. I stayed up all night...wrote about a million pages in my paper journal, and watched the sunrise once again. It's much better when it's not so cold outside. Let's see, I came back in and turned on the tv. (I usually watch tv until I fall asleep) And what do I see!?!? The Remedy video was on VH1. And let me just say...that after seeing Mraz live, that video is 100x more incredible. Here's a bit from what I wrote about it in my new journal (I name them so this one is titled "Common Pleasure". Just in case I call it that, you'll know what I mean)

"I was beaming ear to ear. Seeing that video now means so much more. Ian bouncing around with his bass and Toca slapping the djembe. The silly faces that Jason makes...to think...I stood less than a foot away from Toca and listened to his wonderful voice. I have a picture of Jason and I holding each other super close with the silliest look on my face. It's pure joy! Absolutely awesome to think that this man's music, his words have meant so much to me over the past few months. And I got the chance to meet the man himself. I'm damn proud."

So ya, it was the best morning I've had in a long time. Rob woke me up some time around 3:30 this afternoon. He had errands to run and thought I might like to join him. So Rob and I hung out pretty much ALL day. (the awake hours anyway) We did a bunch of little stuff. The bank, Rob's dad's house...we watched Adam, Eric, and Joe play Marco polo in Adam's grandma's pool then headed over to Laurie's for some leftover chinese food. But Laurie, Nicole, and Casey all wanted to go out. So we all went to Applebee's instead. Afterward, we hung out at the house until Laurie started to fall asleep in the chair (nothing new) Then Rob and I took off in search of something else to do. He got a hold of Joe and Eric and we all decided to hang out at the playground. Just acting like goons...The Kooky Gook Show challenges. Who can climb across the metal jungle gym without touching the ground, who can climb up the inside of the enclosed slide the fastest, etc. Joe lost his wallet. We looked all over the playground and didn't find it so we traced back all of his footsteps. Which included a trip to Kyle H's house and McDonald's. Still no luck. So we had to call in backup. Adam came out and they found it back at the playground. Then we went to a different playground. More Kooky Gook challenges. Who can jump across a 10 foot gap with running water underneath? There's this huge merrygoround spinny thing that just about caused mass vomiting. Entertaining, yes. Then we all pretty much passed out on the bridge. A few more wonderful perverted conversations. It's nice to hang out with a different crowd occasionally. I think I'm their new honorary member. Just one of the guys. Actually, I think they've chosen me as their oracle of information. They kept asking me obscure questions about sex. Like I've experienced SO much and I know it all. I think Eric said I'm the older wiser woman or something like that. And referenced to the fact that my second toes are longer than my big toes. Which as we all know is a sign of intelligence. Right. So ya, somewhere around 2amish, we'd all had enough. As we were taking off, Adam got my cell phone number because Rob is going to Canada tomorrow night. So I guess they want to do something with me tomorrow too. Either that or it was just a sneaky way of getting my digits. (haha right)

~You only get one life to learn. There's only so many brains cells that you can burn.~

I came home with all intentions of going to bed. But I got online to check my mail and found a message from Jesse. Then got into another of my forever long IM conversations with my Latin Lover. psht! What the hell happened to cutting him off? After he turned me down for a date to Nicole's wedding...I was all about not talking to him anymore. Well maybe not that far but at least not making out with him anymore. (cat's outta the bag...hahaha) So I turned down the offer for a 4am rondevoux. But supposedly he's going to call me tomorrow night. Who knows what I'll be doing or who I'll be hanging out with. All of a sudden, I feel popular. Surrounded by guys and yet...no relationship potential anywhere. And such is my new and improved social life. I need sleep.

~How was I supposed to know you could catch fire to the snow? Oh, way to go Mr. Nally Oh way to go. Now you're meltin' the poles...~
