You were always on my mind…
12 08 2009I am about 30 seconds from losing my shit today. I got attacked by Le Coug this morning. Le Coug is this woman I work with. She may in fact be Satan. She terrorizes the rest of us. You cannot win. EVER. I try to avoid her, but she sits directly across from me, inevitably, there are showdowns. She’s just an irritant though, not what’s occupying my brain.
I was looking through pictures last night and I ended up looking through my epic Lucero weekend pictures. I missed Woodership Down very much. Then I got to the pictures of me and Louisville. My heart sort of stopped for a minute. I keep thinking about him. That whole weekend was just sort of wonderful and crazy and strange and he was one of the best parts. I can’t seem to forget about him. He just pops into my head every know and then and I miss him like crazy. I don’t know why. We barely know each other. I don’t even know how old he is. My guess is younger than me. I left him a message on facebook last night and got a nearly immediate response. It made me swoon a little bit. I am such a girl about him too. He sends me really sweet texts from time to time and I have them saved as well. I’m trying to push him out, but it’s just not working. I’m planning a trip down there soon, we’ll see.
I have a lot of other things on my mind too. I’m just going to say it, you can hit me if you see me, I don’t care. I miss Banky. I miss his stupid little random texts and snarky comments. I can’t wait for him to get home. Mostly because I know I get a present, but also because I don’t like it when my friends are far away.
Space Cowboy and I had a very long talk last night about the DRAMA! DRAMA! DRAMA! we’re facing right now in our little circle of friends. I am very worried about how this is all going to play out. My job is to smooth things over and keep the peace. I am trying, but I’m tired, ya’ll. I have so much of my own bullshit to deal with right now I just don’t want to solve anyone else’s problems right now, or listen to anyone’s shit. But it’s what I do, and I’m damn good at it. So keep it coming. It’s a distraction from my issues.
I’m very good at hiding it when shit’s bothering me. Sure it shows up here, but unless you REALLY know me, and know my signs…you’d never know what was up. Most people just let it go. Those who love me know I’ll come to them when I’m ready to talk about it. Right now, I can’t. It’s too big and it hurts too much and I’m too scared. I’m dealing with it by throwing myself into any kind of distraction. I started a painting last night. I had to abandon it due to my crazy ass family being in town and wanting to go out to dinner at 9:00…but I feel…inspired. I’m working through it and even though my stress level is off the charts, I feel pretty good about how I’m handling it.
I’m supposed to go see BNB tonight at work. I owe him some shit. Also…I apparently have a date Friday. I’m not entirely sure how this happened, or why I agreed. I met this guy when I was on OkCupid for five minutes and we hit it off. The Zookeeper. I kind of stopped talking to him when I decided to settle down and give Toast a chance. We started talking again and he asked me out. I said ok. I like boys who buy me drinks. I also like boys named after cities in Kentucky…godamnit Louisville. I have a crush on you.

Killing me softly
27 07 2009I can’t sleep. Probably because my sleep pattern is all fucked up now, and maybe because there’s a lot on my mind.
First of all, I can’t even put into words how awesome it’s been having Poprocks here. Even just sitting on the couch all day watching SVU together was awesome. I can just look over my shoulder and he’s there. It’s blissful. We have laughed so hard over so many silly things.
Friday night we went to the fair with Savannah. It was an experience. I outlined all the highlights. I got my picture taken with a tiger cub. It was the best thing ever. I ate a corn dog and heard Free Bird and saw lots of farm animals. We invented a new word. Nurpa. It’s a fopa on your neck. We got hysterical over the definition of fopa on Urban Dictionary. I had to call MFEO and leave her a voicemail. I cried the whole way through it. I could not stop laughing. I think it was the combination of hookah, cider and massive amounts of sugar. Fantastic.
Saturday we hung out with MFEO. We ran around town amusing ourselves and then went to dinner. Savannah joined us and again, we all laughed until we cried over stupid shit. I love my friends. After dinner, we went back to MFEO’s where her husband and I attempted to shave her cat. That’s not a euphemism. We really shaved her cat. Or tried to. We failed. Hard. 
Mr. MFEO and I were crying by the end of it. MFEO was not happy, but she should have been since Mr. MFEO and I bonded.
Today we laid around and watched SVU all day and I completely forgot about Clark’s wedding shower because I am a crappy friend. I feel like shit. I keep apologizing. My brain just got all caught up in Poprocks being here. I forgot. I fail. Space Cowboy called tonight and we talked it over. I will figure out a way to make it up to him.

We laugh at danger and break all the rules
21 07 2009Hey, I’m back to almost no readers. AWESOME.
A few things. Someone explain to me why when I google weird things that lead to my blog, according to my stats, my blog never comes up? For example – “rus bbw”. What the hell are you people looking for?! Also, “dad needs band-aid”. Seriously. Why would you need to google that and how would that lead you here? I’m worried about your immortal souls, internet.
More important things. I know a lot of you don’t read this, obviously. I can see that. However, if you do and you can offer ANY help. I’m begging. Pleading. I’m talking whipped cream with a cherry in top, PLEASE!
I have two friends who live in Louisville. They are two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. They opened their home and hearts to me and treated me like they’d known me their entire lives. I met them through Woodership Down when we went on our epic Lucero weekend back in April. They are stranded in the mountains of West Virginia with $26, a busted head gasket, a $565 mechanic bill (that didn’t fix shit) and no place to stay/short amount of supplies. They created a facebook group asking for help. Being the kind of people they are, they are content with just a positive thought or quick prayer. If that’s all you can offer, please give it. If I were in this position, I’d have lost my shit by now. They are handling it with grace and humor and the utmost humility. I know if the situation were reversed, they’d do anything they could to help. So please, just think about it. You can contact me via lowercasesandcapitals@live.com
In more positive news…. THE FAIR IS THIS WEEK!!! I already warned Poprocks that we are going. I want to remind him of the delicious white trash he left behind. Welcome back to the real America, my love. Corndogs. Lemon shake ups. Bad tattoos. Mullets. Sugar waffles. Tractor pulls. FARM ANIMALS. I love the fair. Un-ironically. (I have to clarify all of the things I love, that I shouldn’t to Toast. Like Lynyrd Skynyrd). FAIR! I think Wifey and perhaps Savannah will join us. I am SO EXCITED. Of course, I am a huge fan of any place that offers me a variety of fried foods. And the people watching…sweet baby jesus. If you’re interested in joining the madness, let me know.
UPDATE – My friends have been rescued! For the most part. They’re at least being taken home, broken truck and all. A lot of people love those two. I can only hope I inspire the same type of friendship…but we all know better.

If it all ended tonight, you know that I wouldn’t mind
20 07 2009Hey, you still there? Yeah, sorry about that. I need a few days to sort through my brain and set it straight.
I called Toast on Friday. I owed him an apology. The more I thought about it (and after a great conversation with old boss lady) I realized I never gave him a chance. I was so worried about protecting myself and being me that I never thought about how sometimes people change you for the better. So, I guess what I’m saying is we made up. We went to see Harry Potter on Friday night, yes I’m that lame, and he came over tonight and we watched About A Boy. HE HAD NEVER SEEN IT.
About A Boy is one of my favorite movies ever. I love anything Nick Hornby and Hugh Grant is another fave. Not to mention the soundtrack holds the key to my heart in one 3:20 song. He said he liked it, I hope he did. He may have lied to me after my disappointment of him refusing to give Flight of the Conchords a chance…and then me making him watch endless clips of it anyway via YouTube. I’m no quitter.
I spent some quality time with Clark and Button yesterday. She was wild all day, and then he put a video on and she curled up on me and I melted a little. Now that she’s starting to babble a lot, I asked Clark what she’s going to call me. My name in nearly un-pronounceable. Even to adults. He suggested my high school/college nickname. It lives on.
In the most exciting news, possibly ever, POPROCKS IS HOME!!!! He has returned from his adventures overseas and will be at my house on Friday. FOR A WHOLE WEEK. I have so many plans. I am so very excited. I am sure this will be the longest week of my life, waiting for him to get here. It will be worth it though. I have missed him more than I can ever put into words. Also, that bitch bought me a hookah. I adore him.
I have so much more to say, probably, but I’m so freaking tired and this weather is so perfect for sleeping. I’m going to go take advantage of it.

It’s plain to see, you’re a dangerous thing
15 07 2009Well…fuck.
I burnt my Toast, ya’ll. It’s over before it began. I am…irritated. Apparently he wanted to tell me when he came over on Monday, but he couldn’t. I knew. He looked so sad. I could read every thought on his face. He talked and talked and talked. When he ran out of steam I let it all sink in. Then I said “ok”. “Is that all you have to say?” Of course it’s not. But it was all I wanted to say.
Hold onto your asses folks, are you ready?
He hurt my feelings. So I wasn’t shouting my love from the mountain tops, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t crazy about him. Sure once I realized we were completely incompatible I pulled back a little. But I talked about it! I expressed things! I reassured and listened! Not good enough. I almost reached through the phone when he said he felt it could be any guy in his situation, that it had nothing to do with him.
Oh. Hell. Naw.
Many have tried. More have failed. I have been explicitly clear over the past two years about the fact that I don’t want a boyfriend. They all tried to change my mind. I dropped them quicker than panties on prom night. (It hurt to write that).When I started this dating nonsense I said I didn’t want a boyfriend. When I met him, that changed. I was willing to try. I wanted to give it a real chance. He is the first guy in two years I have admitted to being in a relationship with! But it could have been anyone. Yeah. Ok.
I feel let down. My best wasn’t good enough. He got all sanctimonious and preachy on me. Look, I’ve gotten this speech before. Don’t talk down to me. I have been in love. I have felt that happiness that is so big you think your heart is going to explode. There is no way something so tiny could contain something so big and wonderful. I know what it’s like to look at someone and be filled with a love so deep it takes your breath away. Excuse me if I don’t want to go and just give myself away to the first guy that calls me pretty. I have never been desperate, I’m not about to start now.
I gave my heart to someone once. I’m not 100% sure I ever got it back. There is not a fucking day that goes by that I don’t think of him. There is not one day that I don’t miss him. I’m not looking for a fucking replacement. This girl wants the real deal. I’m not going to just open up and rush into something. I don’t have to. Don’t fucking treat me like a godamned pariah because I am single at 27. It’s not 1950. My ovaries are still steaming fresh. There is nothing wrong with me because I am not dependent on another human being for survival. I love you people, I do. I know you mean well. I do. But I am done. No more advice. No more treating me like a child. I am so happy for those of you that found your person. I lost mine. I don’t know that there is another one for me. If there is, he’ll find me when the time is right. In the meantime, I am very happy with who I am. I’m stuck in my ways. I also don’t think I’m a whore. We’re all adults here, it’s just a little sex. Read the rest of this entry »

Can’t believe I’m wasting these lines on you
14 07 2009Alright, first things first. The important stuff.
I FINALLY got my Cory Branan/Jon Snodgrass split! Jon’s cover of Thin Lizzy’s Wild One is amazing. Goosebumps. Cory’s long awaited studio version of Walk Around? DISAPPOINTED. He doesn’t say “fucking golden unicorn”. That’s what MAKES that song. Every thing else is amazing. Cory’s Yeah, So What? may be a new favorite. Born Apart has a harmonica part that makes me MELT. To my fucking core. These two can do no wrong.
Ok, enough about things that make me happy. Let’s move on to things that burn my ass. Cowards. I live my life very honestly. Or I try to. I can’t sleep at night knowing there’s something I need to say and I haven’t said it. Hello, that’s why I blog before bed. So I don’t understand who left me that comment. Here’s my theory…
That comment was either made by someone who desperately craves attention- wait. No, no matter what, that comment was made by an attention whore. That much is obvious. It was either completely random, and made by someone who just likes to fuck with people. Ok, fine. Whatever, kitchen dick. It’s cool.
If it WAS by someone I know or who knows me, well…my thoughts are much simpler. Fuck you. If you have something to say to me, or if I have so grievously offended you…MAN UP. Tell me to my fucking face, or at least let me know who you are. There was NOTHING in that blog that deserved that. That comment didn’t even make sense. What did I do? You’re right. I don’t have any idea. Tell me. Also, if you knew me at all you would know I pride myself on being ridiculous, and yes…even disgusting. Lighten the fuck up. Laugh at me, I do. Laugh at yourself.
When I first read that comment I laughed hysterically for a good 10 minutes. Then I called Toast and read it to him. He was confused as well. Then I called Totoro. She was the first one to say out loud what my fear was. What if it was the dumbcuntwhorebagslutface that stole my man? If it was, how do you like your new nickname, slag?
Here’s the thing, that crazy ass bitch… She got what she wanted. My life. She took my future. My boyfriend, my plans, my past…she robbed me of all of it. Then, she had the fucking audacity to keep tabs on me. She refuses to let Douche even utter my name. He is not allowed to be friends with me. He suggested I write to her and ask her permission, basically. Clearly, eight years together and he didn’t even know me that well. See, he misses me. I miss him too. Shut up. He was my best friend for nearly a third of my life. This August would have been our ten year anniversary. So, little miss homewrecker…FUCK YOU. Every reason he said he didn’t want to be with me for, you have magnified. Karma, is that you?
I don’t know if it was her or not. I do know I quit writing in my livejournal for the most part because she would log into his and read mine, unbeknownst to either of us. So he says. This was up to six months ago, when he deleted it. It had been a year and a half. I had walked away. She is certifiable, man. He knew about Banky because she told him. Those two deserve each other.
Anyway, that’s the end of it. It pisses me off because I write this blog for me. No one else. I don’t care if people read or comment. I write to work through shit in my own foul-mouthed way. If you don’t like it, DON’T READ IT. It’s just common fucking sense.
Really moving on this time. I am trying to convince Space Cowboy to write a blog. He sends me the most amazing texts ever. He’s hilarious and would be a riot to read. Today we continued a conversation about the BNB’s breakup with Jim Henson’s abortion. (TM Space Cowboy, 2009)
“I mean if I woke up looking like some half assed Sesame Street abomination, I would run towards the nearest living thing and kill it.”
PRICELESS.
I am a very lucky girl. I have a lot of very close guy friends. Space Cowboy, Halpert, Clark, J-Bear, Vampire…even Banky. No matter what has happened between any of us, we are always friends. They are protective, tell me I’m pretty, do sweet things for me. It’s almost like having my own harem. Without the feeding of grapes and whoring it up. As much as I love these boys, and trust me, I do, they’re my brothers…nothing compares to my ladies.
I always hated girls. Always. I always had more dude friends. Then I found my people. The other girls who were like me, bitchy but honest. Thought and acted more like guys, and could drink most of them under the table. These are my surrogate sisters. Wifey, MFEO, Savannah Ruby Soho and Martha make every day bearable. Without them, I wouldn’t be the awesome woman I am today…on my way to burning in cunt hell. They’ll be joining me. Thank god. It’d be so boring alone.

Sweet on a green-eyed girl. All fiery Irish clip and curl. All brine and piss and vinegar.
14 07 2009I should be sleeping. Toast just left and I quite literally was falling asleep on him. However, I feel the compulsive need to write something seeing as so many of you read me today. Seriously…what gives? Thanks.
Anyway, I will address this in full detail tomorrow. Well, both of these. First things first.

Ok, so maybe my number one fan was right about me. Oh yes, I have a fan. I must have a fan. This person was so upset that I trashed myself yesterday that they left me this gem in my comments. “You are fucking disgusting. You have no idea what you just did. I hope you and your ridiculous blog burn in cunt hell.”
Precious. I didn’t know ya’ll cared so much! I’m seriously honored. I’ll discuss my feelings further tomorrow. In the meantime I leave you with this…my Wifey is Her Royal Highness Queen Googler. Do you know what that means my little cowardly friend? I know where you live. Just mull that over in your tiny little brain. I have to go. Cunt hell is paging me. xoxo

The bitch is back
12 07 2009MFEO – I apologize. I had a lot of thinking to do before I could write.
I’ve thought. A LOT. So here I am. Back and bitchier than ever. Sack up, hoes.
It’s official. I am seeing Toast. I have no idea what it means. It both terrifies and delights me. The last few days have been a whirlwind. I went up to see him last Wednesday and so began the decline into insanity.
This is my blog and I’ll talk about whatever I want, with no censorship, so if you don’t like it or are offended. Leave.
We had sex. Why? Because I’m horribly impatient and he had me all hot and bothered. We climbed into the back of his car and made out to Sufjan Stevens for awhile. It was awesome. I felt like I was 16. Then my slut vagina started doing all the talking and next thing I know…we’re in bed. Now look, I’m not the type of girl who talks about what goes on behind closed doors. I will say it was good. I will say that. I will also say I paraphrased that whole last part from High Fidelity.
This is where things get sticky. I have been conditioned by all of the douchebags I’ve gotten wrapped up in to not get emotionally attached, especially when sex is involved. Toast? Bless his precious little heart. He goes heart first into everything. We have had a lot of discussions about our very fundamental differences. Basically he’s a total woman and I am such a dude. Those are our words, not just mine. After the sex, he changed. He got very emotional and I got freaked out.
I don’t like to talk about feelings, I don’t like to ask questions, I just go with it. Here’s where the yelling starts…3…2…
This is why Banky and I worked. While I don’t miss him, because he is a giant dickweed and I KNOW THAT NOW, I miss the simplicity. We talked. We even talked about important things. We never talked about how we felt. It was just understood. I like subtlety. Me talking about my feelings is like having teeth pulled. I HATE it. I say enough to get my point across. That’s it. I rely on instinct and actions to show how I feel. I also can read people fairly well. I don’t need to be told how Toast feels, it is written all over his face. It’s this mix of fear, fascination and adoration. It terrifies me and is so endearing all at the same time.
It may seem odd to say this on a blog on the internet where anyone can read it, but…I’m very private. I am also fiercely independent. Read the rest of this entry »
