same_skyNo work for Baby tomorrow! Yay! :)
Today has been.. not so bad, especially for a late day. I actually managed to sleep until almost nine, for the first time since we've been home. I was very happy about that. I went to lunch with Mom, Whitley, Angie, Devon, Alex, Shannan, Curt, Casey and Krista at Pizza Hut. That was.. busy and loud and confusing. I felt sorry for our poor waitress, and everyone at our table was being mean about her and I was feeling quite embarassed. I'm fairly sure I knew her, and if it's who I think it is, she was the girlfriend of a friend of my h.s. boyfriend, and they used to stop by and talk to us in the mornings sometimes. And I wanted to ask her, but what exactly do you say? "Hi, did you date that one guy whose name I can't remember in high school and did you graduate in '98 or so?" (she was younger than us). Not quite. And then even if she says "yeah!"... what does that accomplish? We weren't great friends or anything, and we're just going to have stilted conversations about how neither of us (probably) have even talked to the people we had in common five years ago in at least three years. So I just figure I should leave it the way it is.. both of us thinking (presumably) that hey, don't I know her?
I feel almost as disconnected from my former friend life as if we were living in Sweden. It's been nearly two years since I've seen or talked to either Josh or Barbie, and longer still since I saw the other one. And if you date your best friend, you have to be able to accept that loss if things don't work out, and so I'm okay with that.. but it really annoys me about Josh and Barbie. And what bothers me is that I feel fairly secure in writing this, because I know that neither of them will see it, and mainly due to a lack of interest. Oh, I know that you grow up and leave your high school friends behind. I don't (and didn't ever) really expect that we call each other once a week.. we didn't do that when we were still close. But somewhere between once a week and once every two years.. that would be sufficient.
Oh well. I'm quite happy now in any event. It just bugs me sometimes in a mostly nostalgic sort of way.
Also, what bugs me. The DarkScapes is unavailable. And it's not like, getting fixed, apparently. It's a portfolio site! It needs to be up!
And. We actually bought this big book of the 150,000 best websites. Normally I find those lame, but this one was neat! And you know what? We haven't used it nearly enough to justify buying it.
Also, my cough is worse today and my throat is scratchy and raw, I guess from the coughing. That sucks. I was almost completely better!
My honeybug is going to make me some hot tea. Isn't that precious?
Well, I guess this is enough complaining for one night. I'll go off to try to find something productive, or at least entertaining to do. Bye bye!
