Lonely night

May 17, 2008 02:02

I took a week vacation and have been sick the entire time. Lost my voice for two of those days and coughed my brains out for the other. Brains at high velocity is no pretty picture. Did that stop me from trying to smoke? Nope.

I was supposed to have a party tonight and I sit here by myself. I've only been on antibiotics for a day and I didn't want anyone else to get sick. I've been miserable. This house could be filled with laughter, the crunching of snacks and the sound of my Dance, Dance Revolution going. But no...I watched movies by myself. Enough of the pity pot.

I did take time out to tell my story at an AA meeting and meet Brendan Fraser. He kind of backed away from me a little when I started talking because I was just getting my voice back. Oh, no, Brendan was not at the AA meeting. I don't want to start spreading rumors. I snuck out to a screening of his movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. The 3D is amazing. The glasses make you look like Buddy Holly, but at least they stay on your face. Brendan is just as cute in real life...he is also taller than I thought. He's as easy going as most of characters as well. Damn, I wanted to jump him. If I had felt better, he would have been in a lot of trouble!!

Back to the AA meeting. Telling my story is getting easier and easier. It doesn't seem to hurt as much either. When I see newcomers realize that there is hope and relate to me, it makes what I've gone through mean something. Did I mention I met Brendan Fraser?

It's 2 in the morning and I've been hacking so bad, can lay down for long. I'm gonna go try again. The cough medicine has codeine in it...I can't tell. It's 2 in the morning and I'm still awake.
