terrible/perfect

30 04 2009

There’s no easy way to do this. So I’m just going to go into it. This is probably going to be ridiculously long but I don’t really want to break it up. Everything is related. Everything is terrible. Everything is perfect. Read the rest of this entry »





Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be

19 04 2009

I have been too exhausted to keep up with this lately. It’s not an excuse, just an explanation. Life has been kicking my ass. I am lying here right now, still un-showered, with a horrible headache. All I can think is “I’d better update that damn blog or I’m going to lose the three people that read it!” Pathetic.

I was going to tell some funny MFEO stories, but if you don’t know her, I don’t know that they’re as funny. Plus, I forgot the second one already. I think I’m having sympathy pregnant brain. Or maybe it’s all the alcohol catching up to me.

Friday I went out with a very old friend that, for very complicated reasons, I haven’t seen in nearly two years. Pope B. I met him through Wifey about four years ago. We were drinking buddies. We would go out and the three of us would have these epic nights out. I won’t go into it, but back then life was good. And hilarious. We reminisced a lot. I’ve really missed him and he looks great. We caught up and talked about old friends. It was a really good night out. Read the rest of this entry »





Everyone says this is it. This isn’t it.

16 04 2009

I am tired, ya’ll. I’m really going to phone it in, which is a shame as I have several HILARIOUS MFEO stories to share with you. I just can’t. I have to be at work at 8:15 for a press check tomorrow. I usually don’t get there until nearly 9:30. I’m not a morning person.

I haven’t been able to sleep at all this week. Not quite sure why. I think it has to do, in part, with my crazy weekend. One late night will throw my entire week off. I’ve also had a lot on my mind. I had to rant and rave at Martha today just to get it all out. We have decided we need to follow the advice we give each other and that we’re crazy.

I’ve been thinking about Douche a lot and honestly, I miss him. No one else will ever be him. That’s a good and bad thing. I miss the person he was and what we had…before he fucked it all up. Most of the time I’m totally fine and I don’t care, but when a lot of things happen like they are right now I get…jealous? I had a plan. I had my entire life with him. It’s gone. I’m alone (still willingly…I think) and I am watching all my friends have kids and it hurts a little. That was supposed to be me. I wanted all of our kids to grow up together. There’s a lesson here. Don’t ever plan shit. Just live each day sun up to sun down and be grateful for the small victories. I didn’t stab anyone today. Success!

In something else that’s irritating me news, Banky and Big Red broke up. I guess she got fed up with his bullshit and walked out on him again. Surprise, surprise. Savannah and I had a bet. I found out on…Tuesday? I asked her how long she thought until I heard from him. I put my money on Friday, she put hers on Thursday. We both lost. He texted me last night whining about how I’m never on facebook chat anymore. Hi, it’s called I’m avoiding you, jerkface. I asked him if there was anything he needed to talk about. “Nope, just bored.” Not my problem.

I’ve had such a roller coaster day. I had a nice lunch in the sunshine and that helped pull me out of my homicidal mood. Somedays I just can’t deal with that place. I did get my review though today. I was terrified. I show up late, leave early, ignore the dress code…I am a model employee. Ha. I got an awesome review. Kudos, me. I will reward myself by going to sleep right now and dreaming about one week from tonight. I will be arm in arm with Woodership Down singing Lucero songs at the top of my lungs. Sweet dreams, indeed.

Nothing Lasts Forever





Real life mean girls – or that one time I got roofied – and the story of my worst hangover ever

13 04 2009

Good news: As far as they can tell, there’s nothing wrong with me.

Bad news: As far as they can tell, there’s nothing wrong with me.

I haven’t scheduled test numero dos yet. I wanted to get a second opinion or talk to my doctor first. For the most part, I am feeling better. Except for the fact that I’m pretty sure someone slipped something in my drink Friday. I did not drink nearly enough to cause the epic meltdown that occurred Friday night.

This is going to get a little embarrassing, but a whole lot of funny.

I ran errands with Wifey after work. Then Banky called. Not texted, called. He asked me to go to this local music festival. I had a bad feeling about it, but all of the local bands I liked were playing Friday, except for the reunion show I was not going to miss for anything on Saturday. I agree to meet him there. I call Ruby Soho to get her opinion. She says go, and be careful. I stop by the ATM, my brain is still nagging at me.

Inner Monologue -

Do you really think it’s a good idea to see him tonight?

Well yeah, I can’t drink a lot. I have to drive home. Across state lines.

What do you think his motive is for asking you? Don’t you ever wonder if he’s just playing games?

Shut up, brain.

I text him and ask him if he really thinks this is a good idea. He throws down his trump card. “Well, it’s up to you, but I’d really like to see you.” Le sigh. Off I go. Read the rest of this entry »





Wasn’t that you giving up?

10 04 2009

Scared has been replaced by seriously pissed off and frustrated. I hate doctors. Did I mention I wanted to be one for 75% of my life? Even I’m not a big enough asshole to be a doctor apparently.

This morning I had my echocardiogram. It’s an ultrasound of your heart. There is no dignity in it if you’re a woman. That lady felt me up three ways from Sunday. I did get to watch the whole thing and I have to say it was kind of awesome. My heart (most likely a valve) sort of looks like a monster from an old B horror movie. It looked like a big mouth opening and closing in grainy black and white. I don’t know any results yet, as I can’t read an ECG. Although, I’m sure if I had an iPhone there would be an app for that.

Lord, I’m discouraged

9 04 2009

I’m scared. 

The doctor called me back today. The ultrasound was clean for gallstones. He said he wanted to set me up with a gastroenterologist. He asked if I was still in pain. I said I still had some discomfort in my chest. Pressure mostly. He says he’ll call back about the appointment. 

Five minutes later he calls back and says he’s very concerned about this discomfort in my chest and he wants me to come in for and echocardiogram. Ok, thoughts on this; if you are going to squirt some warm liquid on my chest and awkwardly feel me up, can I get dinner first? A voucher? Jell-o cup? Come on…

So all of this has my p’s in a twist. P’s = well…a word I hate and can’t say. You’re smart. Figure it out. I am frustrated, I am scared and I just want to know what the hell is wrong with me. He thinks it could be pericarditis, hence the ECG. Or there may be fluid around my heart. Maybe it just is my gallbladder trying to explode. No one knows! I am not a patient person, I try, I really do. This is just a little overwhelming and scary. So, if you don’t mind, please send me some good luck for tomorrow. If you see me, a hug would be nice too. For now, I’m exhausted and I need to go to bed.





I’m sticking with whiskey from now on

8 04 2009

So when I said I needed more drama, this is not what I had in mind.

Those of you that know me best know that I HATE doctors. I will do anything to avoid going to the doctor. By this I mean I will drink straight whiskey and hot sauce if that’s what it takes. I sled into a car, didn’t go to the doctor. Pretty sure I broke my ankle on my 22nd birthday, no doctor. I had bronchitis for three weeks before I sucked it up and went to the doctor. I really hate them.

I spent three hours in the ER last night. No, I’m not going through withdrawl from the show. Ok, well maybe a little. But it took an hour and a half and I waited until halftime on that poor ass excuse of a NCAA final before I let my mother take me in.

Why? Because apparently my gallbladder wants to quit this bitch. I have a very high tolerance for pain. See: my body covered in tattoos and piercings. I couldn’t breathe last night. It felt like I was being stabbed in the shoulder while getting a bear hug from a gorilla. It wouldn’t go away. So I sucked it up and went to the ER. Read the rest of this entry »





Disposable lives like mine

6 04 2009

I’m kind of phoning it in here. I need more excitement and less drama. Sorry, ya’ll.

Have you ever been to a scooter rally? I have. Saturday I went to the rally with MFEO. There was free lunch at one of my favorite places in town, so I figured what the hell. I had a total OMG moment. MFEO and I were going through old pictures a few months back. That bitch has some fine dude friends. I remarked I thought the one was particularly sexy. She told me no way in hell as he has two babies and two baby mommas. Fast forward to yesterday. I get down to the rally early. I walk around my favorite record store for awhile looking like a total creepster. I leave and go over the the restaurant. I look in and there’s a group of guys. The one has these giant, black plastic, square frame glasses and a handkerchief around his neck. I decide to wait for MFEO outside, it’s gorgeous out anyway.

She gets there and we’re talking and she asks me if I saw the dude I thought was hot. It hits me. It’s glasses guy. I ask. She confirms. I rescind my offer. I have shit taste, you know that? Read the rest of this entry »
