----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- it's only a hit and run after all... Why do I even bother trying to figure anything out before I�ve had coffee? Really it�s a futile task. Today: my eyes hurt like hell (why does my eye doctor � sorry, can�t spell the long-ass fancy word for this right now, requires too much thought � insist that my eyes are fine? Just �eye strain� she says.) my head hurts like hell (allergies) and I�m really tired (but then again, I�m always tired). Last night I got to meet my first Diaryland acquaintance ever � the lovely allmadhere (and her friend M.). And yes, in case you were wondering I was a total dork and felt shy and awkward because that�s the way I always am when I�m around new people even people I kind of �know� through Diaryland. Bah, sometimes I really annoy myself. But that aside, she was quite nice and it sounds like a fun trip they are taking and I envied their upcoming journey to the beautiful Mt. Shasta�. GB is out of town today and tonight � I will treat myself to a super-large, extra-strength coffee and perhaps a scone and then sit down at the computer (oh my god, I almost typed �typewriter� � I do have a lovely manual typewriter that mom gave me when I was in high school � which I used to write my first poems on � but the keys stick and when it comes to the actual act of typing - i.e. no back / delete key, well I suck, I suck bad) and write write, rewrite, revise and proof. And blast the music or M2 really loud. Can I just say what a geek I am? I love having MTV2. The feeling it gives me reminds me of when I was in junior high and I so badly wanted us to get MTV like all the other kids (this was when you could opt out of having it as part of your basic cable package � which really worked out with my mother who believed �and probably still does to this day - that MTV would rot my soul from the inside out). Now I get to sit in front of the TV � often while I�m doing other stuff (bills, magazine flipping, etc) and catch cool videos (Luna, Replacements, Onelinedrawing, Ben Kweller, White Stripes, etc) �it�s like sound/vision therapy. Oh, and in addition to being a geek, I�m sure she thinks I�m a total bitch. My friend S. from the Hipster Dance Night sure did (kind of jokingly � �what�s with you Shivers Girl � you used to be a person for the people!�) when I related this incident to him via e-mail this morning. The scene: me, GB, her and her friend sitting in a booth at the Club. GB goes to the bathroom. The rest of us keep talking. A few minutes later I feel a gigantic thud as someone sits down next to me � no make that practically on top of me. I turn around and see a Frat Boy-looking guy. Frat Boy: Hey there � how�s it going Me: great � but my husband�s sitting there , he�ll be back in a minute. FB: No he�s not Me: Um, yes he is. FB: Well, I�m just warming it up for him. Me: Um, no you�re not FB. Yeah I am � he�s not here. Me: He�ll be back in a minute. FB: I know, but I�m just gonna sit here (mind you, not only was he sitting there � in this booth � we weren�t at the bar, but he was practically sitting on top of me � serious body contact). Me: You�re not sitting there � my husband is sitting there FB: I�m just warming it up for him Me: No you�re not � you�re going to move or else I�m going to call the bouncer over. And that was that, he turned around and left without another word. I told GB about it and he was amazed at how bitchy I was (not in a bad way, but still kind of amazed � then again, he should know me better) but then laughed when he saw the guy later standing at the bar. Eh, whatever. Bitchy. A bitchy geek. Whatever. I suppose I could�ve been nice but then again he could�ve been more polite. Damn, it�s 11:15 a.m. and I haven�t done a lick of work yet. I guess I better get on that and all� 12:04 pm - 09.25.02
