Jennifer moved to New Orleans!! no friggin wonder the girl hasn't been returning my calls.
Chayo: 'yeah, she moved about a month and a half ago.'
Lana: 'wow... how cool is that? good for her!'
Chayo: 'yeah...'
Lana: '...'
Chayo: '...'
amazing how time changes people and conversation. i used to love Chay. about this time eight years ago we were inseparable. now we are separate. oh well.
Lana: 'i was calling to ask Jen if she wanted to come with me to see The Dog Men Poets'.
Chayo: 'oh! i've heard of them!'
Lana: 'cool, do you wanna come? it's out here by me on 281.'
Chayo: 'yeah! and then maybe you can come over here?'
she didn't come. i didn't expect her to. i didn't go. she didn't expect me to. so there it is.
Monica came though. and i promptly pimped her out to Bru. or... maybe i pimped Bru to her? whatever. good times. i have been advised by Bru that this is his name. 'everyone calls me Bru.' and then he went into a long involved story of how 'Mike B' came into play. i remember very little of it. not because i wasn't interested, no. i remember very little because i was very deep into my cups at the time the story was told. call me hazy. something about Free Verse and lists and whatnot.
truly, i had every intention of honoring my alcohol diet-- which has failed miserably-- i honestly had no intention whatever of drinking. i mean, i'm broke, right? it's B's fault. she was buying rounds and, well. i'm a sucker for the vodka, what can i say. call me alkie.
i love this song!! 'Friends'. it's so Mazzy Star. i even like it more than 'Pretty Lady', which you know, is saying something. last night, G-Smiles wrecked the hell out of this song, like, literally smashed it. i gushed all over him and felt appropriately geeky afterwards. i told him that his playing was a big part of what kept me coming back week after week, and it's true. well, it doesn't hurt that i'm addicted to feeling up Bru, too. i mean. yeah.
i finally introduced myself to Toya who told me that she reads my LJ.
Toya: 'you need a cd?'
Lana: 'yes. just one. i'm Lana, we haven't been officially introduced.'
Toya: 'i read your LJ.'
interesting. apparently, she is a friend of
mixmaster_mo. it's weird how i don't think about other people reading this thing outside of the folks i have on my friends list. and it's hard to think about even the folks on my friends list as reading, too. i mean, honestly, who cares what i put here? most of it is boring as hell. odd.
what else? what else? Kevin has moved to Ohio. he told me a few weeks ago about a new job opportunity and like, he took it. without the Wife. well. Wifey is in limbo while she makes up her mind if she wants to join him or not. in the meantime, Kevin put their house on the market last Monday and sold it on Friday. or something outrageous like that. i think it's awesome that he's moved. he seems happier for it. he called me drunk as all hell on Thursday or Friday or something, and happy as a lark.
many people seem happy. i do love this time of the year, so that is a part of it. but it just seems a time of change and growth for so many. myself included. i feel really good about decisions i've made. as if i've successfully negotiated a series of tricky turns on the road of my life. now i have only to travel it and see where it takes me. i'm anticipating it, i really am. i cannot wait to be in LACA.
i cannot wait for Halo 2. the more i hear, the more excited i get. which is sad seeing as it comes out Monday night at midnight which is actually Tuesday morning, and right now i have about four boxes packed and one and a half suitcases. when will i have time to play? when pray tell? dude, and too, i ordered this thing like weeks ago right. the game plus this ridiculously expensive thingee, a headset? turns out the headset still needs another part to connect it to the frick fracking game console. yeah, not cool. i will have to buy the communicator separately or some junk. which i will. because i want it.
i talked to Marq and Toni today. i need to call Tawna and Danielle. Jess still won't return my calls. it's funny. i kinda miss them already, even though i told them i wouldn't. i'm a liar, what can i say.
Jessica still wants to meet before i leave. now Chay wants to do something. i need to see Toni again before i go. and Val and Tawna. there isn't enough time to do it all, i swear. chaotic. but fun.
