Hey....
Sorry I've been so absent and negligent in answering your comments, but just haven't felt like writing anything. I don't care what the circumstances...breaking up is hard to do...
It's been 3 months now. No progress...nothing...except..
I finally got off my ass and went to a local bar called Saratoga's. They were having a "jazz fest" and it sounded like fun. Plus the fact that I've been cooped here for 3 months...this girl NEEDED to get out of the house.
Hank went to Seattle for a family wedding and left Karen and I here...yeah!!! No overprotective brother for 5 days.
It was cool, cuz Karen went her way and I went mine. I don't think our paths crossed more than once or twice in 5 days.
OK...so I went to the jazz fest and actually had a great time. Met the owner, Sara, and some other cool people...got a free t-shirt and a free meal...not bad for my first real night out in 3 months. Met a guy named Jim...and his 14 year old daughter, who resented my presense greatly...and still had a good time. Got home around 3:30...
I decided to go back Saturday night and got the royal treatment again. Good going me! Sara was having a bonfire after closing and we all headed out to the mountains...dark dark mountains...of course Jim and his resentful daughter went too...
Ended up falling asleep on a wet hammock...(and yes I slept alone...and fully clothed...) although it felt warm cuz it was right next to the fire...woke up...Shit...Sunday morning!
Before I left that morning, Sara invited me to a private party she was having that afternoon...yeah...Sunday...and for me to please show up.
So I did...this time with Jim and resentful daughter in tow.
Jim and I are JUST friends and we will stay that way...he's a geologist that mines the mountains around here and is totally into his resentful daughter and his rocks.
But shit! I had a damn good weekend...Started Friday night and ended Monday night...(oh yeah...I forgot to mention that Jim, resentful daughter, and I had pizza Monday...spur of the moment kinda thing.
No hope there...daughter is just to possessive and jealous of anyone that gets to close to her dad. She's 14, had a hard life, and is hanging on to the only thing she's got left...her dad. Can't say I blame her.
but hey...at least I met a new friend...went out and had a blasted weekend...met some cool people...yep, the do exist up here in Maggie Valley, ya just gotta look for them...and ya gotta look hard, but there are a few...and they are very cool.
Thank God...I am leaving soon, but at least I finally have some people to call friends.
It was an awesome weekend. I haven't slept so little in over a year. God, did it feel good to get some ya~ys's out...
See...I'm still here...just waiting for something worth writing about...and shit...you don't want to hear me moan and groan about Danny anyways....
Love y'all
peace
