my friend eric - he's from trinidad and he's a reggae dj, a real cool cat - he recently met my sassy ladyfriend jen - and after a brief (very brief) love affair they have decided to get married - on september 6th for chr-st's sake - that's only two weeks away - everyone is real excited and happy for them - except me - im pissed off - i don't like it and i don't want them to get married - but i have been pretending to be happy for them despite these feelings
last night my bomb exploded - i acted in a harsh, uncharacteristic manner - it was bad form on my part - i sternly told jen "i don't want you to marry eric" right before she went on stage - the look on her face said it all - it was exactly the look i hoped to see - a look of shock, confusion, hurt - all those emotions right before her cue - katie was standing there and she was pissed at me - but my goal wasn't to hurt jen, i just had to tell her how i felt about the situation and that's when my fuse blew - but maybe i subconsciously hoped to screw up her peformace or something i dont really know
see a bunch of us are in this play at the garlic clove - an awesome little venue - unassuming from the outside and very dark and decadent on the inside - i know katie jen bill and i all have parts and i'm not sure but i think other friends of ours are in this play as well - seems like a cool play but i don't have any clue what it's about
well anyway thats what i did - and later that night i read mixed reviews about my performance - whether those reviews were criticisizing my acting or how i handled my feelings and actions in regard to the marriage - im not really sure - i also don't know if my comment made any impact on jen and her decision to marry eric because thats about when i woke up from this very strange, awkward dream
always (through fragrance
and singing) come lovers
with slender their ladies
(Each youngest) in sunlight
- e.e. cummings
my apologies for my uncharacteristic unparty behavior monday - i didnt get one good night of sleep all weekend and although i tried to keep it at bay with alcohol that's when it all decided to catch up with me
