i was thinking about the number of [...]

so yes, made it through the night. still a little weepy-eyed [...]

an actual conversation from saturday afternoon, while drunk [this occured before the burnt lasagna and the movie marathon]
“you mean you could have just gone over there an had sex?” FFJ asked.
“yes,” i said.
“the sex was guaranteed?”
“uhuh.”
“man,” she said. “i can’t believe you turned down the booty call. what were you thinking?”
“i know! i wasn’t [...]

there are reasons for my sudden uncharacteristic silence. reasons i will attempt to explain for the uterused and unuterused among us. PMS has kicked me right in the face this month and to demonstrate:
FRIDAY
8 a.m.: stumble out of bed, a whirlpool going around in my head.
8:27 a.m.: see that there’s a message on swanky sara [...]

a wise friend of mine once told me that certain people were brought into your life to teach you about suffering. i think he might be right. but i also think there are people who come into your life to teach you about joy. and those are the people who call you up and leave [...]

today, i found out that much to my delight there’s a cute jodi-type way. stunning, huh? i had no idea. none at all. but apparently, according to darling jason, there is in fact a cute jodi-type way that’s “adorable, really.” apparently when one says, “i know,” in a breathy almost whisper, you say it in [...]

“So much unfun stuff to do here today. Wish I could just sit and talk with you. Those eyes. Those damned beautiful EYES.”
and part of me just wants to respond “whoa, are you talking about me? me, jodi chromey?”
