So I ended up talking to Katie last night until 3 am. That. Was. Awesome. I don't know what the score is though, it wasn't that kind of talk. I mean, it was that kind of talk I guess. Regardless of what words were said, the telling thing was that I left her a facemail at 11 o'clock with my phone number in it. 15 minutes later she called me and we talked until about 1. Then her boyfriend called on the other line, and she said "oh shit, I gotta take this. You want me to call you back?" Of course I did. So 10 minutes later she called me back and we talked for another 2 hours. So let us take a look at that. She and I talk 2 hours; She and boyfriend talk for 10 minutes; She and I talk for 2 more hours. It's interesting.
One thing I know is that she and boyfriend have had an on again/off again relationship for the 6 months they've been together. They fight a lot and constantly break up. She isn't happy and besides, he's moving to California in March, maybe April. And she's ready for him to go. The reality is (and I have to tap myself into reality every now and again) that maybe she ain't barking up my tree. Maybe we both need a good friend right now. Still though, if she were to maybe come looking in this direction, I'd be HAPPY to show her around. She's...special. She's crazy, but I wouldn't want anything to do with her if she wasn't. Cuz I'm batshit.
In other news, Ginny and I finally made our big stuff exchange today. And, it went well. So well in fact that we talked about EVERYTHING, and still managed to go to lunch together, go over the divorce papers together, hook up her stereo together, and go to Ear X Tacy together shopping for records. It was pretty fuckin' awesome. We did [almost] all the stuff together that we were good at doing together and had fun doing it. And we caught each other up on what we've been up to while separate and could laugh about it together. It's been a LONG time since she and I were able to be that way around one another. I'm thankful that we're at the point in our relationship where we're able to do this stuff. That's all I really want, a good relationship. Days like today proved to me that we could be on that path.
She also gave me a bunch of 45s to dig through. So as I've been typing this I've been listening to them. Some of them are good, some of them suck. Not a big surprise for a random stack of 50 singles. I've also been trying to stay awake because, as previously mentioned, I was up until 4-ish last night. Then this morning I inexplicably woke up at 9 or 9:30. I stayed up and paid the electric bill since my check went through, and then went over to the Meigs house. I'd take a nap, except I hate taking naps, and even if I did, I may not wake up in time to make it to the quarterly tonight, which I promised Brian, Ned, Catfish, and the rest of 'em that I would do. What I'll probably do instead is keep listening to these 45s, shave, eat some leftovers, and if there's time left maybe hit Electric Ladyland in hopes that I can find some Debarge. Then hit the quarterly. Honestly I hate the quarterly meetings, they're so fucking chaotic. But I said I'd be there, so I'll be there. Accountability has become important to me. My own accountability has at least. Even if it requires being severely uncomfortable. AN instance or two of that has popped up but mostly I can deal with it.
And every day it gets easier.
