More navel gazing than you can shake a stick at

My stomach has the following in it:

-1 bloody mary
-2 glasses of Cava
-1 plate of French fries
-1 glass red wine

And now, a quarter of an Everything bagel in a last-ditch attempt to sop up the whole mess. I am clearly not adult enough to take care of myself; this is ridiculous.

Crack Diva and I are entering a period of rampant co-dependency. I don’t know if this is good or bad. With Mr. A working nights, it seems only reasonable to spend happy hour with no time constraints with Crack D and various work colleagues past and present. Plus weekend stuff. We oftentimes do things on the weekends too. All our times are wildly ridiculous, fun and hilarious. I’m helping him deal with the fact that his boyfriend seems currently to be acting like a douche. Also, we have business ideas, plans for documentary films together, work projects we will collaborate on and so on… so it is, yes, drinking and carousing and making fun of people’s outfits, but it’s also a future. Creative collaboration that will eventually pay off and make us famous-adjacent.

So hello there co-dependency! I’ve started to tell HIS jokes and adopt his mannerisms. That’s not that uncommon with me, I’m a chameleon. A mimic. But most of me has lately been all “wassup girl?” and “oh bitch you did not just say that,” and “girl, if I wanted your opinion I would have beaten it out of you.” And various things that probably shouldn’t be repeated here. The other day at lunch I said something and then looked up at him and said OH MY GOD I’M YOU. Where is the me-me? Help!

It’s been a long time since I had a BFF, so I guess I should just enjoy it right? Even our friends are saying we’re too “enmeshed.” We make people at work a little nervous. With good reason, granted, we’re probably discussing their personal hygiene. But really, if we amuse each other it’s a good thing. The “I’ll drink if you drink” thing is probably not healthy, but well, there you have it. No apologies, then. "Another round for my friend here."

The Librarian, French Geek, French Bitch, Kiwi Correspondent, Hurricane Boss and El Cameraman are all interesting characters too. I shall endeavor to tell herein their stories as well.

THE REAL EXCITING STUFF: I buried the lead. I am going to Colombia on assignment. Yes, me. As producer. With El Cameraman as well, the cameraman, and he is from Colombia, so we will have ACCESS. This is happening now for real. First week of August, after WriterCon. *Gulp*

Anyone out there know anything about Colombia?
