Woo hoo...it's the weekend for me and I'm psyched. Hopefully beautiful weather which will allow me to go and lounge around on the deck and be free from the worries of work.
I'm about to start watching the 3rd episode of the 2nd season of "House" and the thought occurs to me that maybe I could just skip ahead, way way ahead, and just go watch the episode where "House" and "Cuddy" do the deed which recently aired. Isn't that really what I want to see? Argh. This is a tough one 'cause I do like to see how their relationship progresses through time to get to this point. Maybe I could watch it then go back and watch the earlier episodes...hmmm, there's an idea.
Or maybe I'll just be good and resist the urge.
Hmm, what else is going on? Talked to J last night for a bit. It was really nice. It has been about 11 years he figures (he's right) and while so much has happened in our lives, in a way it felt like no time had passed. We covered the basic stuff and will get together one of these days. I've missed him and that friendship.
And on Facebook D reminded me of a crush I'd had when I was in Jr. High. A serious crush. On a boy working at the local grocery story who reminded me of Huey Lewis. If I remember correctly I finally approached him one day and I think what happened is that he said I was too young for him (I was about 13, he was 17...?) Anyway...that is the bad thing about losing touch with old friends...I've forgotten good things/memories. So you know, forget what I said before, in the previous posts...I'm looking forward to doing some reminiscing with both J and D and seeing where the friendships go from there.
I know good friendships are hard to find and I've let too many go. Part of me wants to go and re-read the old journals I kept, to see what was going on at that time but the other part of me doesn't want to get bogged down in any remotely sad or bad memories.
So for now, I'll resist.
Speaking of resisting things...or more accurately, not resisting something...I'm hopefully having a real date w/B tomorrow night. He still makes my blood boil after all these years. When we saw each other last week he reminded me that it has been about 17 years since we first met. It's been about 13 years that we've been involved with each other in one way or another (I'm counting all the on-again/off-again periods in there). I just don't want to be with anyone else. I stopped fighting with myself about my relationship with him a long time ago. It is what it is.
Season/Series Finales are coming up (or have happened) and then let the waiting for a new season to begin begin! I'm really hoping that "Scrubs" is renewed. I'm OK with it not having all of the original cast. The interns that they have this season are great!
Granted, without old shows being put out to pasture, I wouldn't have new shows that I really like e.g. "Better Off Ted" (you have GOT to watch it if you haven't been...actually the season finale has already aired but they're all available to watch online) and "The Unusuals" (the first episode was so-so but after that, every episode so far has me liking it more and more)...
I should be saving the watching of episodes of "House" (and then after that the watching of "24"?) for when the season is over for current favorites but I don't want to wait. I know there will be plenty of other fun things I could, should be doing, outside, when summer is here.
I keep telling myself that this is the summer I will go camping/play badminton/go on picnics/go on road trips/go to beaches...I need to show the world (uh, my friends) I am more/will be more than a couch potato! Here's hoping this summer is indeed the one that sees a new side of me.
Musings from a big and beautiful sometimes "drama queen" on her current state of existence
What's It All About?
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.
You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.
