i will be in overland park kansas as of 11 pm friday night. for some reason, it is christmas time but i don't feel it at all yet. i have even done most of my shopping, and even some gift giving. i really don't know where this year went. it makes me sad. i found out recently that a friend of mine had to have surgery. not easy surgery either. sort of serious surgery. we are not super close or anything, but i still felt really bad. i worry about people too much i think. anywho- he got out of the hospital last week and i called to see if he got home okay. he emailed me that he did but that he couldnt talk. i went to see him today. he looked good. but didn't seem good at all. i took him flowers and rad coasters that look like tiny records, and some cookies mike made. he seemed to be glad to get things, but generally glum. we talked about his MASSIVE cd collection and how converse are giving me back problems and then i came home to eat dinner with ludbutt. i told him i would call him when i got back in town. i hope he is okay. in other news: tomorrow night i am having a dinner with mike, just us, for the holidays. we tend to spend a lot of family and friend time around the holidays so we are taking a night out to spend together. it should be good. and then friday i leave for home. i am weird about going home right now. lots has changed there in the last year. i have never had a very regular family, but now my dad's girlfriend has moved out with her kids, my sister is moving out, again, and my dad has ripped apart the house to "remodel it" only to never put it back together again. it is the first time my dad has lived by himself, ever. that makes me sad. but he swears that he is enjoying it. i guess i will believe him. even though i hear now that he is dating his girlfriend again. but, as many people find hard to believe, i actually like going back. i like seeing my friends and going to sonic, and rosedale bbq, and seeing movies at "student" prices, and seeing the cutest doggie in the world, and eating amazing home cooked food, and seeing an adorable baby that is bigger and bigger every time i see her. i love all that crap. i think only going back for about a week out of every year makes it easier. new york can be suffocating. sometimes i need to breath so i get out, just long enough to miss it, and then i come back. i had my first really good job interview this week. for a great job that i would really like to have. not one i would be settling for, or would want to kill myself all day doing. now my hopes are all up, which makes me nervous. note to self- don't have another party on a night when the MTA (transit) is supposed to strike at midnight. everyone will just scram at 11 in a panic. i talked to courtney the other day and she asked about the babies, as usual. but when i told her that mike had his office party that night, she said "so he spent the night xeroxing his ass?" (i am paraphrasing) and i laughed for a really long time. for some reason that was the funniest thing i had heard in a long time. just typing made me laugh out loud. courtney is one funny asshole. goodnight. |
