I WANT AN OOMPA LOOMPA NOW, DADDY!
Hello Thursday! I'm long overdue for an update on my life. Man, that's daunting. What's going on in my life?
My best friend from middle & high school, who now lives in Scotland with her incredibly masculine husband Graeme, just had her second child in less than 2 years. I'm happy for her, I think. I haven't really spoken to her in a long time. It's completely my fault - I didn't really feel the desire to keep up a long-distance friendship so I just kind of let it die. As I get older, I find it harder and harder to put in the effort to maintain friendships that are not part of my regular life. Maybe I'm selfish and not such a great friend, but I've come to terms with that and it doesn't bother me anymore.
Joe is FABULOUS as always. He bought me a pink/black softball glove! They sent the wrong size, though, so now I have to wait for the replacement to get here. It's super-duper coolio. I'm very excited because it is PINK.
One glitch with Joe lately - he sometimes shows up at my house (on school nights - when I have to be at work early the next day!) around 3am or so. At first he's all sweet and cuddly, but just as I'm falling back to sleep (not that I ever fully woke up) he's putting the moves on me. I'm not even awake, I push him away, he gets nice again. Then just as I'm falling asleep again, *BAM*. There he is again, makin' the moves. This will happen 4 or 5 times until I get so annoyed (I'm not the nicest person when I first wake up) that I yell at him to leave me alone. He gets upset, and it eventually turns into a "You used to always want to fool around when I came over in the middle of the night" fight. (Keep in mind that was when we were not really together, it happened maybe once a month, and he was completely fooled that I went back to sleep after his phone call so he could slip into bed and "wake me up the fun way". Truth is, I would hang up the phone, run around like a lunatic to clean my house up, clean me up, and make sure I was "naked-ready". Then I would feign sleep until he got there.) So then my sweet little insecure man starts thinking I'm not interested in him physically anymore. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE VALIDATE ME HERE THAT IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT A 31-YEAR OLD WOMAN TO WAKE UP AFTER 4 HOURS OF SLEEP ON A SCHOOL NIGHT, WITH ONLY 2 HOURS OF SLEEP STILL AVAILABLE BEFORE YOU MUST GET UP, WHO IS A TERRIBLE MORNING PERSON, TO WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU GOT INTO BED AND SAID "HEY, ARE YOU AWAKE? I CAN'T KEEP MY HANDS OFF YOU"
Seriously, folks, how do I keep this from happening over and over again? He doesn't seem to understand that unlike him, I can't nap sporadically throughout the day, and if I get less than 6.5 hours of sleep I am absolutely miserable at work the next day. Which in turn makes me more unhappy and it turns into a vicious, vicious cycle. PLEASE HELP ME ANN LANDERS-TYPES OF LJ-LAND!
In other news, my birthday is coming up soon! And I'm going to be working an outside/satellite bar at Joe's restaurant on New Year's Eve. That should be a lot of fun, and I'm really looking forward to the extra cash!
Not much else is going on these days....just work, poker, weekend-partyin', and sleepin'. It's a rough life. AND I WANT TO GET MARRIED, NOW, DAMNITALL!!!! I've become the girl I never thought I would be. And it scares the bejeezus out of me.
Oh yeah, and a big shout out to that super-duper-dirty-dawg-sleazeball on my friends list ckirkman. ;) You can fondle me anytime, baby!
