(no subject)
So far in my life, and so far, I'm young, I've had three boys (men.) that were really great in my life. The rest were, well, assholes, mainly. Not all of them but most of them. One of those three told me a little while ago that while our relationship was great, it wasn't perfect, or it wouldn't have ended. And that by us breaking up, I "didn't lose the relationship I was meant to have and maybe {I} haven't found it yet, but will eventually." This made me realize that I've been thinking so negatively. So from now on, I no longer care about the 79% that sucked, because I really appreciate the fact that three relationships were great. Not all guys are assholes, because I've met the ones who aren't. I know they exist.
So next time I get stood up (wednesday night) or some guy tries to get me to have sex with him when we're not even dating (last weekend) or some drunk asshole calls me fat (monday night) it is just gonna roll of my freaking back. Because I'm awesome. So there.
In other news, it's been good lately. I went to breakfast Wednesday with my old roomie and my HS English teacher and my elementary school music teacher. It was so fun. =) Yesterday, I went to French class like a good girl and taught a lesson (it's strange giving lessons to non-special-needs kids... it's SO different. they're both hard in very different ways) but then I went to Portland. I checked out the salt institute exhibit on BIW, they were some gorgeous photos. Then I went to see Mr. Glazer play at the Unitarian Universalist... he's incredible. I sat up front so I could watch him, and the people behind me were these two elderly sweethearts that I had some good conversations with. Afterwards I went to the greeting line and when I got up there he looked so surprised, it was awesome. And he kind of rushed everyone by and then we talked for a long time. I'm definetly going to visit them soon, I can't believe how long it has been. Mrs. Glazer talked to me for a long time. She said, everyone keeps saying that it's amazing I'm 95. I turned 95 last month Kate!" And I said, well it's amazing because it's so hard to stay healthy these days. And she goes, "well yeah, but I'm not healthy! Look at me, I'm blind, I've got one hearing aid, and I have to use a cane now. That's what I hate the most. This cane.
I just... love them. She asked me if I was "still with my beau". Beau! That's so cute. But that was 2 years ago, and I said not really, he moved to New York a long time ago. And she goes, "How long has it been?" and I said, "2 years." And she goes, "Oh. well I'm not worried. He'll come back, dear."
Things are so different. It's so strange. The Glazers have been married what.... oh I don't even know. Years and years and years. That generation, and even a lot of my parents generation, really believe in the first love. I do sometimes but really... it's so strange. I don't know what to say about it. It was just a funny conversation.
So anyhow. My dad just called to tell me the importance of 11am on 11-11; how it ended World War I. He also called just to tell me that his clock said 11:11:11. Hahahaha. My dad makes clocks, by the way. And we love palindromes. Right.... I'm a nerd.
So now I'm going to eat lunch with my mom at her library and then I have to come write a paper and clean and do other stuff. Last night was so much fun, I almost didn't do anything and I'm so glad the boys made me hang out. Phil, Noel, Cody, Scotty; I love em all to death.
I found this illustrater, Lisbeth Zwerger, whose work I just love. I got new paints the other day and I just can't wait until break so I can do what I want for awhile (oh, and practice... =P)
Until next time ladies and gents....
PEACE
