heh. i just got an email from a guy about degus. not looking for degus, but rather for advice about them. i'm officially a fuckin' guru lol.
had a good weekend with J once he figured out what the hell he was doing. we were going to Atlantic City, we weren't going to Atlantic City, he was just gonna go by himself, he was gonna come here, he was gonna stay home because he had hardly slept in two days... it was making me nuts. i said to him, you do this like i couldn't possibly have or make other plans (which i did for sunday and had a dozen other things i coulda done on saturday). i also let him know that i didn't have a problem with him not coming to see me (he hasn't had a weekend to himself in nearly six months) but rather that he couldn't make up his mind so i could know what to plan for.
he got here too late to do much; basically got dinner then went to bed. we went to The Piggy Bank (www.piggybankrestaurant.com), which he liked, and where he tried sweet potato fries for the first time. the verdict is still out. i made breakfast in the morning and then we went back to bed. now, i knew it was the weekend to change the clocks ahead, but i completely forgot to do it, so when we woke up, it wasn't an hour and a half until egha was supposed to get there, it was half an hour. she's usually late, so i didn't sweat it, but she ended up showing up 15 minutes early. i was in the bathroom and J had just gotten out of the shower. i heard her knock, then i heard her let herself in. luckily J had come out of the bathroom already in his jeans, otherwise my darling cousin woulda had herself a surprise. and yes, she knew he was going to be there this weekend. between this and all the ex-boyfriend talk at the family brunch, she's not batting a thousand with me right now. anyway, she cut my hair, during which the three of us affectionately harrassed each other. she said she likes him better than any of the other guys i've brought to meet the family... i told her i did, too lol. she left before he did so that he and i could have a few minutes to say goodbye alone (at least she has that iota of sense). to her credit, though, she brought me the pic she took of J and i at the brunch, and took a few more on both my camera and hers before she left. unfortunately, none of them turned out very well lol. the one from the brunch is just downright funny: i'm glaring white and you can barely see him.
i went to my parents' house to do laundry, and i got to see the pic that egha had given bob. it's all the family who were there (except my mom because she hates pictures) plus all the boyfriends who were present. it's too bad it's blurry, because i'm absolutely adorable. or maybe i'm only adorable because it's blurry. who knows. but i found out from bob that he agrees with me re J: when he smiles, he looks like Jackie Chan *G*
while trying to get through this post, i wasted the better part of an hour on the phone with mariann, who is bored now that she has left her husband, is in an apartment all by herself and has been dumped by her fling. she tried to pull some shameless lackey crap (example, i was looking up people on a website and she kept saying "oh, look for this one," and "oh, what does that one's profile say?" i told her "no" and "i don't care" respectively... also, we got to talking about an old friend and i found a possible phone number online... she wanted me to call because she "didn't have the balls"... i said i didn't either and she was the one who was so curious, so she could be the one to call). she also kept talking about how she wished there had been a 10th year high school reunion and that we should try to get people to organize one for our 15th. i told her i coulda cared less about going to see a bunch of people who made me miserable. i don't know if it's the day catching up to me or what, but i was exhausted by the time i managed to get off the phone with her. don't get me wrong, i'm glad she finally left the asshole, and i know she doesn't have much of anyone in her life other than family now because of that, but i can't be her only friend. i don't have the strength.
i'm long overdue for sleep. while i'll miss being snuggled tonight, i won't miss the talking and teeth-grinding. i need *quiet* sleep, thank you...
