so sincei had to reboot yesterday, i lost my post. which was short anyway. i woke up, got outta bed, dragged a comb across my head, went downstairs and drank a cup (with apologies to the beatles)
so i go outside, dragging a brush thru my hair, a cup of health-shake crap in hand, bag slung over body, and the door to my Geo Metro is wide open, as is the trunk, the window is smashed completly and my nice panasonic cd-player is stolen. GRRR i saif fuck a few times too. turns out, my neighbour was also hit. he drives a 2001 Explorer with tinted windows, and the car was good, window came out in one piece. so icaleld work, to say i'd be late, and cleared what glass i could out ot he car, and drove to work.
wires just haning out, no NPR to listen to, shards of glass everywhere... grrr.
at work, while talking to chris, walked right under/into the steel support beam and smacked my head. arrgghh. i mean. what else was gonna happen? i dropped soem crap, but nothing broke, so that's good, but i was just annoyed w/ it. the whole thing. i went w/ chirs to the brwhouse for lunch, but all he had was coffee i bought him. with whiskey in it.
after work, came home all dejected, sincei couldn't sit in the car, like is /was a routine to listen to NPR for like 30/45 minutes in the car after work....grrr
so came in to check email from brooks, as he was gonne e-send me some cash via yahoo. so i read that stuff, talked online for a bit, to the AICN posse, and read the guestbook from Beau's service in LA. ... it made me cry, a lot. so ilay down on the couch, watching TV and fell asleep, woke up around 12:30, BJ in canada got online like 1 am, and i talked to him in te AICN room and icq... then i called him and he'd not been around for like 5 months. he had no idea, and was totally shocked about beau. so we talked til like 3 am here.
ugh
got up for work, ran a bit late, but still got there on time. work was carzy/slow then busy as heck, as are most tuesdays. after work , i faxed a rental app to brooks, and took SAT home, as he was feeling sick, and didn't feel like walking.
then i went by a pawn shop by my house, to check if my radio was there. but they don't sell/take car radios. so no luck there. did however see some DVD players for $69... nice. bought 3 cd's on sale for $4 each there, Commitments soundtrack, some Columbian jazz and a lillith fair complation cd of girly-rock stuff.
went to the show after that, tho the damn door was locked, and i had to go around to the front of the theater, and walk down like 4 flights of stairs. put props out, ironed the skirts, and did the show, about 35 people came. which is good for a tuesday night and it's chilly outside.
came home, got some messages re: houses to rent. called one guy back, found where house is... $1196 for 5 bedroom 2 bath 2 kitchen place. sounds good so far. will go check it out tomorrow if i can.
watched part of Smallville on Tv.. missed most of it. but that's okay i guess. i am off to bed now, to await what further adventures the next day brings.
love,
me
(that's an order)

Monday, October 15, 2001 :::
okay..been a few days. lets see...last i left off in my adventures it was thursday. I worked the second sohw of r Suzie at the thater so i could make a quick $20. show was good i suppose...tho i was tired from rehersal. friday at work, good, slow... stragnely enough chris came in to work afew hours, I had lunch w/ Pam and Sat Kirpal from work . Sat(pronounced Saat) works in the Herb dept and Pam's our baker. she's in grad school for african-american studies. she's white and from seattle. Sat's a shikh and was raised in puerto rico. they're both lotsa fun. we went to the brew house (where i am going to just start requesting a cot at, as i am there so damn much) and had yummy treats.
after work, finished sewing Meg's skirt for the show, as it needed more velcro. went to rehersal, where it went pretty well, except for Marc forgetting about 20% of his lines, which frustrated him and the others. Katy called me duriong rehersal on my cellie. she sounded really bad. she's been in a mental hopsital for a month, then outpatien treatment, and now provate counseling and drugs. she was stressed about Cameron and they'd broken up months ago. it seems she sorta of got date-raped in august. she finally told him this week. he's mad as fuck at the guy and wants to kill him. but, also...still not be around her. i went to the theater, as it was opening night of SCANDAL! the improvised soap-opera. this season it's set in the Wild West. the area that we're in is the Little 5 Points area of town, and since it's 1848, it's just Little 1 Point still... hah. so i chilled w/ Alasdair (george and liz's 15 month old boy) pre-show, found katy and sat w/ her. at intermission we went outside so she could smoke, and ended up staying outside talking as she needed to talk about all her stuff. it was okay, tho i had wanted to see the show. after, we went to the ... you guessed it, Brew House ... there for some shitty cheese sticks go I. we talked til abotu 2 am, and i went home, too sleepy to even get online and talk w/ the AICN posse. those guys are for the most part, really cool and it's fun to talk shite all night.
saturday, got up, watched some cartoons and then some SEC football... alabama/mississippi ... and continued working on that damn skirt. i am starting to really hate it. went to rehersal at 1:#0, first time in the actaul space,.so that was nice. i feel that i am not really giving it my all in this show, but it seems so half-assed the way it's done. no costumer, no lighting designer etc. but it went okay...
Maris had called me before i left, asking if we could grab dinner together. i said okay. left rehersal, came home, showeredn and went to theater to bartend. remembered to wear the 3 inch black suede boots as i need to be able to reach the beer in the back of the cooler on top. shows went okay. Say You Love Satan is going well, extended 3 weeks. TheatreSports was good show too, decent tips all around. Berny (the soon to be ex-husband) showed up with Kitten, his new g/f. . seems he also shave his fool head. his head's already big like a bowling ball, so that's not really a good idea, in my opinion. he was nice and all. and tipped me $2 on the two beers he bought.
boy can't give me the $800 he owes me, and then tips me $2?!? ... sheesh!
so after the shizo was over and me, liz, george, jennah and randy (berny's roomates, who...btw..were not consulted when kitten moved in) talked smack on the porch for a while. like til 2 am. she and randy just went off on his idiocy, tho i find it funny, i sometimes feel as if i might have made a colossal mistake being iwth him or maybe just marrying him. i don't want to feel i 'wasted' 6 years of my life. we were together for like 2 years before we got married. and friends for 4 years before that.
Liz said his tombstone should read 'lazy, shiftless fuck' and i can't, right now, argue with that. he was working 2 days a week at six flags in the 'pirate' show of some sort. whoo hoo. THIS is why i am not getting the $$ i need from him.
as i'd seen him the opening night of SATAN ..and he had on new Doc Martens... oohhh that pissed me off. ...
so anyway... talked shit til 2 am during some bad ass rain coming down. Alasdair was sleeping laying on my chest and lap...and that was soo cool. he trusts me, and i kept him safe. it's nice to have that feeling, it's not often it comes up.
i think a major problem of berny's is that he never let me 'in' to know what he really wanted from me and himself and how he felt on theings. the closest he came was the breakup speach last november, in which he confessed he pretty much hated himself, and needed to like and love himeself before he could be with someone else. which , yes i know it makes sense... but he was with Deisha like 2 months after he moved out. so 28 years of therepy was handled ine 2 months... so that's pretty good time i think. (sarcasm)
i'd called a few people to check on houses for Brooks, if he moves out here. sunday i got up, went to Dad's Garage to check out the yard sale and see if Elisabeth could help me w/ her sewing machine to fix the FUCKING skirt.
i am totally player-hatin' on that thing. talked w/ the girls, drove to the first house to look at it. sorta of a sketchy neighboorhood, one way street, 3 junkyard dogs next door. i know Barak, Brooks' dog would freak out and try to fight them, so that place is out.
went to the second place..which i loved immedatley... nice, big yard, front and back, all new dishwasher, ac/heat/ counter, stove, wahser/dryer... bedrooms a little small..but do-able. i liked it, had the leasing agent meet me at the house, went in and looked around. called brooks and told him stuff about it. left a $20 deposit and took the rental app.
went back to dad's ... got the semi-cold chinese food we'd ordered before i left, and munched on it. talked to Nik for awhile, playing catch-up. she told me that Matt had a baby, last night, and she got to hold him. that's really cool.
i am not anywhere NEAR ready for a kid, but they are cool. so last night...chris not from work, from my date w/ him last moth started talking to me online, we talked...about me coming over for a visit last night at 3 am. i think that would be a booty call..tho i said i just wanted to snuggle. he said he was sure something would happen, as he's a guy. i caleld him too cocky, and went to sleep here. tho he did call me, i fell asleep on the phone. woke up and realized it and told him we'd talk later.
does he think i have no control that i'd have to jump on him?
sheesh.
so the show tonight went well. 45 people or so. i got my $100 check from John, thought i would be getting $200 but that's okay withj me i guess. went to store, saw Jahme from work, and came home, 2 bowls of blueberry moring later i am updating.
pretty much no more for tonight, as i think this is long enough.
