Rantings and ravings

drive-by updating

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:30:13 GMT

life's been pretty good. which is awfully nice to write. last couple of weekends have been full of sweetness and fun. lots of good friends and going out dancing and cute boys who make me forget i have angst in tunisia.

yesterday, for example, my neighbor, david, and i went shopping, and he swerved me into kay jewelers where we pretended we were getting married and tried on engagement rings for 45 minutes! it was so fun! i can't believe i've never done anything like that before. i found a great down jacket at macy's for $31! and finished my christmas/hannukah shopping for the family. oh walmart. damn you and your sinister charms--which i'd never succumbed to before so i count myself...er, lucky? and also target.

and saturday, i spent a fabulous evening with my new bestie, jmack, eating incredible sushi and then seeing a truly wonderful play called holidazed by local playwright, mark acito (awesome!!!!) and then hanging out at my friend jesse's bar til last call and after.

i sound so glamorous!

this week i'm getting my hair cut and colored--yippee! (sidenote: i'm curious to know what the gray percentage of my hair actually is but i'm sure as hell not going to find out.) and this weekend, i have a party to go to on saturday night. i'm thinking i'd like to go to goodfoot on friday again because i seem to have my groove on there for sure! i'll see if my wingman will go with me....she's pretty much down for anything which is seriously what i need.

and the winter break is coming up fast. only 11 more days 'til i can forget about centennial middle school for two blissful weeks.

ok drive-by over and out!

sorry but was it my imagination that last week's episode was supposed to be a two-parter? maybe not an official one but it sure seemed cliff-hangery to me. i mean the ending wasn't actually an end, was it? how did they resolve everything? did i miss something? and this week's ep has nothing to do with any of the stuff that happened in the previous ep....i'm totally confused. anybody on my flist watching this with answers? is anyone watching it? maybe that's the better question.......

my heart is just broken...straight up.

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:30:05 GMT

i know i should be, well, not in this situation. i know i should be stronger than this. i know i should look at myself and see all the value i have. i am a strong woman with a good job (even if i don't love it, i am contributing), a great band, beautiful family, awesome friends, both in real life and here on lj. i am beautiful and getting more so every day. i have a great laugh and terrific sense of humor. i have style and panache and élan. i bring good shit with me when i enter a room.

and i still feel like shit that after a week of thinking that we were finally figuring out how to deal with some of the time difference issues and having some real conversations on the phone and texting like normal people or what i imagine normal people text like, he drops out like i have the plague or he has a wife or something!!!! i haven't heard from him since last sunday when he waited 3 hours to return a text i'd sent wondering where he was since i thought we were going to get to talk again over voip. i don't know what to do or how to respond except by feeling miserable. actually, i vacillate between feeling wretchedly sad and horrendously angry. i just feel so manipulated. and everyone i talk to about this has a different opinion about how i should react and what i should do and what i should be feeling. i shouldn't give him all the power. i should move on and find someone here. i should not ever talk to him again. i should just believe that all men are evil liars and never trust again. and all it is really is that the hope i had that the one true love that i've ever really had in my life had come back and was going to become the reality of my life instead of just the dream, has disappeared or is disappearing. or. he's going to email me and say he's sorry for the long silence because that's what happened two weeks ago when i was in the same depths of despair place that i am now except now it's worse because then i didn't have any sense of what he was feeling and after the week of communication, i thought i knew. and now i don't.

i know he's around. he hasn't gone out of town which is what he told me happened the last time because he's still posting periodically on facebook. so he has access to the internet. and i know too that he'd joined some dating group via facebook and flirted with someone and then removed it when i went back to check what it was. so though i'm pretty sure i saw it, i have no proof. not that it matters. he's in tunis fucking tunisia and i'm in portland, oregon. he can date and fuck all the girls he wants. i'm not celibate for fuck's sake. but don't put it on facebook for all to see. or me at least. and i think that's why he took it down. because he realized that i or anyone else could see he'd flirted with someone he'd met online. whatever. i don't fucking care. i don't expect anything of him except some communication and honesty.

good christ. all i can do is ache over this. i have a show tonight and miss anita did my makeup at nordstrom and it looks fucking great. and i should be fucking awesome but my heart just hurts. HURTS. like a little wave of pain will swell up and hit me in the gut and then i take a deep breath and it passes. but i think of the things he said to me and then the little wave gets bigger and brings friends.

i just want to text him or god forbid call him and ask what happened? did i do something? did he change his mind? am i dealing with some sort of cultural divide i can't possibly understand? is he just being an man and a fuck? i feel like an insane person!!! but i don't understand how someone can do this to someone else. especially someone they purport to care about or at least enough to contact them after 21 years. i am so confused and hurt.

WHAT SHOULD I DO???????

i'm back from the gig which went. it was a strange, funny thing, but we had a ball even though my guitarist was cranky at the beginning since it looked like a disaster waiting to happen. and he'd given up tickets to see the black crowes (whatever, dude) to play this benefit. but we helped raise $500 for this charity school in india. so that's good. and then afterwards we went to a bar and had a really good time hanging out. i love my boys.

and i should be happy and content having just spent a really fun evening doing the thing i love most to do in the universe. and instead i'm checking his facebook page to see when he last updated--he only ever posts video clips usually silly, vaguely offensive humor vids and lots of political stuff in arabic which i generally don't understand. but i can see that he's been online in the past day, just hasn't texted or emailed me. i know there's little hope of a future for us, certainly now, if he can't deal with the communication issues at this point there's really no reason to even try to push ahead. and certainly i can't push ahead without him which is what i seem to have now. not him. and i think i get it, if they don't call, they're just not into you, so i shouldn't try to get in contact with him again. i should just catch this rather obvious clue. i probably already did too much initiating, but i don't understand what happened between saturday and sunday of last weekend to make him stop being interested in contacting me.

so like i said. my heart is broken. and all i really want to do is call him and cry. and all i want to have happen is that he gets back in touch with me. but i don't think that's going to happen. and i know he's living his life. and i'm living mine, and we're on two different continents for fuck's sake. but my heart is broken anyway.

and that's pretty much all i have for the moment. except AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

boys are dumb

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:26:40 GMT

and also they are stupid.

i guess i need to let go of expectations in every direction, huh? i chatted via im with hachem last friday, and we talked a lot about being able to get in touch with each. we finally exchanged phone numbers, so we could text to each other know when we might be around to have another voip conversation. and i thought: yippee! now i can stop having these long periods of not hearing from him or being able to get in touch with him! so we exchanged a couple of texts, and then he basically stopped getting back to me. finally on sunday night, i emailed him saying i had had a good weekend and i hoped he had one too, but that not talking to him made me sad. and now it's tuesday and i still haven't heard from him. so no communication since friday. grrrrrrr. it makes me crazy in my head and also i get blue!

plus i am having a bad clothes day. i had an outfit all laid out last night (cowl neck shirt, wrap black cardigan, denim pencil skirt--great, right?) but this morning when i put it on, it was horrible! stupid cowl neck shirt. so i was late to work (not that it matters much) because i was throwing clothes around til 7:20. and i'm still unhappy! stupid top. it neither flatters nor comforts. and really a shirt should do at least one of those two things, don't you think? i think if i were famous, go_fug_yourself would be all up in my bizness over this one.

and also last night i had a total freak out because i can't find the email i think i sent to the club we're supposed to be playing this weekend saying that we'd take the show and now i'm not sure if we are actually slotted to play! which mistake would SUCK monumentally if i fucked that up. aside from the fact that our show on halloween was awesome and i can't wait to play again, the boys would be mad at me, a lot of people who were waiting for this particular show to come see us would miss it...and i would feel awful. so i'm just waiting to hear from the owner of the club to let me know if i blew it or not....

and while i'm complaining, on saturday as i was leaving my performance coach's house, it was raining and i slipped down her front stairs since i was wearing my oh-so-practical black-sequined steve madden slippers ($49.99 nordstrom!) and gave myself some indescribably wretched scrapes: one about 5" long down my left shin! so my leg aches, the spots on the top of my feet where i scraped as well are kind of achy and itchy, and i feel crappy in my head, heart, and shirt.

wasn't i supposed to feel like this yesterday since it was monday?

what's your deal and is god dead?

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:58:22 GMT

community wins!!!!!!!

also white collar is terrific!

thanks to you fabulous friends who have helped. i still have more shows to try out and that thrills me to no end!

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:18:56 GMT

and if you can't tell me why i should be watching them....what else should i be watching i might not?

thanks and smooches!

my heart is a little bit broken again....

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:42:08 GMT

just watched the final episode of defying gravity and i have that awful feeling of loss. i know i was warned not to get too attached, but it was so damn good and so full of possibility, and it's just done. i was so gripped by it: the characters, the stories, the mythology that was building, the overall look of the show, and the mystery. not to mention ron livingston was carving his niche in my little "men i love" pantheon. damn abc for being so fucking shortsighted. how unusual for a network to fail on such a grand scale......fuck.

um. in other less fannish news, on friday when i was playing hooky, i spoke to hachem for the first time in 21 years using gmail's voip. it was strange and intense and wonderful and weird and i'm gripped with the impulse to hop a plane to tunisia. but i won't, so no worries--at least not yet. i really want him to come here actually and think that might be nearly impossible as well (just how easy is it for an arab to come into the us these days?). it is perhaps as he tells me, destiny keeping us apart. that we're actually star-crossed. and that's nearly as heart-breaking now as it was 20 years ago when we met in paris.

meanwhile i have to keep my head about me so i can continue to do the job i hate during the day. and do all the many other things i love--like my band! i love my band! the show friday was mediocre at best although i sounded good. the boys had some problems, and tyler especially was nervous and then broke a string so there was that. but i had a great time and britton kept telling me i was holding them all together which felt terrific plus i looked great--miss anita at the lancôme counter in the lloyd center nordstrom did my make-up and it was fantastic--all sexy, smoky eyes...very glam! and i can't wait for our show next weekend at the alberta st pub.

well i'm off to hang with my bro and the nephews and then i'm seeing ragtime tonight with my friend liz. all in all, not a bad weekend!

my heart is a little bit broken

i just finished re-watching dogfight which i haven't seen since it came out in '91. and watching river phoenix was like a revelation. and now i'm leaking tears and missing this poor boy. what a loss.

couple o' fics

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:10:06 GMT

this is awesome. seriously. sheldon/penny in the best most believable way.

and also this from glee. will/emma. omg. i love them. and i love this show. in a "i haven't felt like this since forever" kind of way. they could call it joy if it weren't such a terrible idea. but that's what it fills me with: joy. and glee. so i guess they can leave it.

tell me why the unrequited or thwarted love is the best kind? tell me...........

you're an ethnological trope.

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:17:39 GMT

sometimes i really love bones.

and also "sex up." come on now!

plus you should see my new haircut. it's so rock n roll. if i could figure out how, i'd take a pic with my blackberry and show you. that may be more techy than i can manage at this late hour.

that's not hate, that's foreplay.

where i work pt. 2

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:00:42 GMT

i just now sent to the collegial team with whom i work, this vaguely vocabularily-challenging teaser:

1. Childlike interest for information dispatched a well-known
carnivorous animal.

2. Assiduously refrain from affecting a census of the expected progeny
of the barnyard fowl preceding their emergence from the sheathing
calcareous encrustation.

3. Individuals who inhabit domiciles constructed of a transparent,
fragile, silicious compound must avoid projecting missiles.

4. Immediately upon the absence of the domesticated carnivorous
feline, the common house rodent proceeds to engage in sportive capers.

5. It is in the realm of possibility to entice an equine member of the
animal kingdom to a source of oxidized hydrogen; however, it is not
possible to to force it to imbibe.

6. Sparkle and scintillation are not always identification for an
auric substance.

7. persons deficient in judgment hasten to undertake that which winged
celestials hesitate to assume responsibility.

8. It is the final bit of dried grass that, affixed to the burden
previously acquired, induces a rupture of the dorsal portion of the
ship-of-the-desert.

9.The best loved flower in the world, if provided with a cognomen
different than that established by the Vienna code, would yet emit by
means of its essential oils and esters an aromatic effervescence
similar in all respects to that obtaining if the correct terminology were used.

we'll see what happens and if any of them can figure these out. if they can't, i think i may have to shoot myself. or them.

thanks to the grammarpolice comm for the game.

well they say it's for young adults

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:23:11 GMT

but there are some great titles on this list that i've missed too! man, i repeat for the millionth time: i love the intarwebz! i mean where else you gonna get a list of novels that every science fiction buff connoisseur aficionado inamorata ought to read?

in other news, i love my band. i hate my job. why can't i be a rock star and just quit? if nothing else, i'm hoping to get a book out of this whole ordeal.

and if you're anywhere near the portland metropolitan area this friday, you should come see me at red room on 82nd at midnight. it's where i'll be doing the job i love.

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:52:06 GMT

ok so this morning at yet another interminable "team" meeting, i used the word "obstreperous" to describe some of the students. at that moment, all five pairs of eyes turned towards me as though i'd broken into greek or sumerian and, nearly as one, chimed, "hey there...words" or "this is middle school."

there are no eyes big enough to roll largely enough. none.

this is where i work.

match dot bomb

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:47:44 GMT

every once in a while, i head over to match.com to see what all the fuss is about. or the not fuss. and i look through the 'gentlemen' who populate the 35-45 year old age bracket and live in or around portland. and it bums me out. there are some seemingly nice fellows. a few who are intriguing looking, who seem intelligent enough etc. but mostly i think, shit i live in the wrong place! damn you pacific northwest! all these guys with their kayaks and their mountain bikes and their ball caps and their FLEECE!!!!!!! arrrgggghhhhh! i don't fit into that profile picture at all. give me a movie. take me to france. cook me a dinner. read me a book. ok i'll take a walk with you and maybe even a moderate hike but do not expect me to strap anything to my feet and head down any sort of hill. that will not happen.

i've matched before. i had a profile once or twice even. but damn it if i can ever get any play. my "friend" elsa says (she of the nordic 6' tall skiing body) having a match.com account is like having a part-time job. RIGHT. a part-time job. now you see the reason for the quotes around friend. yeah, mine's more like the 150 resumes you send out hoping you'll get one interview at that crappy accessories shop in the mall.

i know it's not supposed to be about appearances, but it totally is. and i've never had much confidence in that arena. my weight made that very hard for me. i mean, i always dressed well and worked with what i had, but i've definitely not been the expected height/weight proportional. and this makes a difference--whether that's in my head or the reality; it ultimately makes no difference as we apparently make our own reality. now my body's pretty different since the surgery, 80 pounds off will do that to you. i'm in size larges now and 14s are starting to get too big. and sometimes i think, wow. i'm beautiful. which is nice. but not all the time--that takes time. you know 30 years of feeling pretty shitty about how you look doesn't go away in a snap.

now i'm curious. if i put a profile together, will it just be the standard disappointment or will things be different? and given how much energy it's been taking for me to just do my fucking job. god i hate my job. do i really have the energy to deal with dating or being disappointed? am i jinxing myself merely by thinking the vaguely negative thoughts? why can't i just move to belgium, date maurice and forget all this stupid crap!

and someone tell me please why oh why crap like vampire diaries is on tv when life, chuck, the middleman, and firefly are not? WHY!!!!!!?????? see i know what's really important! never you fear!

anyway. friends are coming over for soup so i'd better skedaddle--there's jewish penicillin that needs a-warmin'!

omg it's sex!

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:45:32 GMT

you guys!!!!! if you need to know how your sexual desires hold up to the church you need look no further than this flow chart! never be a sinner again!!!!! man i love boingboing!

defying gravity etc

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:46:09 GMT

oh wow you guys! this show is pretty awesome! ron livingston is fun to watch. he gets that balance between angstyness, hotness, and wry comedian that i adore, and the overall look of the show is fantastic. plus it's totally intriguing and has vague moments of creepiness that i like but it's not scary. at least not yet....this is so much more interesting to me than flash forward. of course, they are substantially different from each other but i'm already more invested in the characters and the story. ooh new show!!! so exciting!

um also i watched stargate universe last night and well i thought it was pretty good not great but i liked the production values a lot. and i'm curious to see where it all goes. i know the fandom was underwhelmed but i'm feeling pretty good about it.

yes playing hooky is damned good for catching up on tv, doncha know!

also i need some new icons. i'm bored with my current list.....
