Drama
Jackie, my older sister, is getting married in two weeks. It's so surreal. A couple of months ago I was really sad about it, because I realized how much I'd miss her after she gets married and moves out. But now I'm just really excited for her and everything her and her fiance have ahead of them. Besides, this wedding is going to be awesome!
I'm still going to the open mic every Thursday. It's gotten so much bigger in the past month; last week there must've been a hundred people there at once. They've also started a Saturday show that's just like one long jam session, and it's pretty great when musicians show up. It hasn't quite caught on though, so last week, there were no musicians at all. A couple of the guys were on their own to try and keep the show going by just doing some improvisation, so I just went up to the stage and joined in. It was really fun, but I don't think I would've done it if there was a crowd. Weird that I don't like going up on stage. If it's other people's material I'm reading, I wouldn't be nearly as nervous. But something about putting myself up there on a soapbox is just terrifying.
I haven't been able to write any poetry in a long time. I wrote a little something a few days ago but it's really not much. I don't know if it's because I don't have any intense emotions to write about or what... but the second I pick up a pen, all I can think about is stuff I've already written before. I can't keep my mind clear enough for something new. I should start meditating again.
One of my friends from the open mic does angel card readings, and I asked her for a reading yesterday. I've been confused about some things in my love life and needed some clarity. I don't know how, but she knew exactly what I needed to hear. She told me what I already knew but needed validation about, and I'm sure I've made the right decision about it. I would be less cryptic, but I don't want to give journal lurkers any ammo. Apparently my personal choices are open for interpretation to some people.
On a side note, I'd like to point out that my journal is not a place for drama or personal attacks. There's a difference between stating opinions and stating insults. The line was definitely crossed in the responses to my last entry, so I disabled all the comments to it. I absolutely hate drama and I don't like it when people are disrespectful, so if anyone is going to bring that to my lj, they will be blocked. If someone would like to start a debate that's actually based on fact, then a brush-up on the rules of debate would be necessary. Other than that, keep opinions respectful and quit the drama.
