I'm still feeling pretty gross, but that made me feel better for a little bit.
::: posted by tinafish at 10:43 PM :::
I have what I've come to realize is an unhealthy fear of the dark.
I have those glade plugins w/ the nightlights in my bedroom... it's a fairly small room, and I've got 3 of them.
I use candles and such, too. not necessarily all at once, but I remember this one time adrian was complaining about the nightlights, so I unplugged them... and lit 3 candles.
I used to hate going to bed alone at night. When I was younger BoB and I used to call each other right around the time I'd go to bed... and we'd stay on the phone 'till I'd fall asleep. Even now, I do that. I'll call whoever and talk a bit 'till I'm insanely sleepy.
and I sleep most comfortably during the day. I'm not sure why... you'd think I'd sleep at night so I wouldn't spend my waking hours surrounded by darkness... I dunno.
When I have to take out the garbage here, one of the offices I have to go to is down at the end of a dark hallway, and the room also is dark. and I'm not sure what I'm expecting to happen... but I always kinda brace myself while I grope around searching for the light switch.
As far as I can recall I've never really had a bad experience... nothing that would make me afraid of the dark.
but I am.

no big deal, right?
*shrug*
when I got back (about an hour and a half later) it was still sitting there, door wide open.
kinda odd, but not my place, right?
*shrug*
I went out to the mailboxes a while ago to mail off my netflix dvds, and it's ~still~ sitting there w/ the door open.
weird.
I notice now that it seems the door handle (on the outside) is broken off.
*shrug*
I'm going to bed now. if I can stop sneezing long enough to doze off.

doke got me some vicks vaporub today.
I have full use of both my nostrils for the first time in days.
you know, sometimes I worry about myself. Like... the whole scifi aspect of me...
how instead of going out last night I stayed home to watch tv.
But I saw trekkies & trekkies 2 today.
I'm ~so~ normal.
lol
finished that off w/ st:nemesis, and now I'm watching the crow.
think I'm gonna force doke to watch the hunted w/ me here in a while.
for the most part all I've done today is get out of bed, shower, and lay on the couch.
oh - dunno if I mentioned this yesterday, but I was aching for some peach cobbler.
doke went out to pinkies (a liquor store) for lunch - bought us some bbq sandwhiches & peach cobler.
mmmmmmm...
::: posted by tinafish at 11:15 PM :::
and I survived.
lol
ok so I wasn't too tempted... I gave kurt my number but he didn't call 'till late. I didn't get started 'till ~ 0200 tonight, anyway. ended up chilling w/ javier and watched teh scifi block on the scifi channel. then I picked lus up & took him home... then we went to walmart.
Actually before walmart we stopped at ihop.
at david's ihop.
And the language lady was our waitress. I'm really glad she didn't mention anything to me... I'm guessing david got the brunt of the comments from the ihop crew.
*sigh*
still I was really nostalgic... remembering all the time he and I spent there.
when we left I asked her to say 'thank you' in wookie.
she ended up going through this long process of getting us 'thank you' written in some african language so lus can sound like a tool in some d00d's native language.
*shrug*
We had the never ending shrimp... and it kicked both our asses. And our waitress is a trip - she brought us 2 more servings after we'd told her to stop... and I didn't hardly eat any off my last serving... so I ended up bringing home nearly 3 full servings of shrimp & fries.
at least I have a microwave now.
javier and I are kinda wigging out about furniture that we don't have.
doke said we could keep his loveseat & coffeetable 'till we got our own or he moves out of lubbock.
hopefully we can get some soon.
I dunno... doke's still really nice to me... only...
*sigh*
I just wish he didn't have those feelings for me.
maybe if I keep acting the bitch he won't.
... maybe I'm not acting.
anyway. lus & I bought ~ $150 worth of crap at walmart (btwn the two of us).
I bought the hunted on a whim, and lus picked up the great escape and half baked. the hunted has been on my wishlist for a while, so I can finally take it off.
*sigh*
also I bought a couple boxes of cherry vanilla dr pepper. I'm pretty stoked. I haven't tried one yet, but I'm hoping they'll live up to the ones at sonic. also I picked up a microwave, which I've ~seriously~ been needing for a while now.
I've spent a lot of money shopping today. guess it's a good thing I didn't go out drinking.
I certainly can't afford to do both.

only 48 since that's the max per album I can publish using homepage.
I'll get them uploaded to my /photos/ folder...

I'll seriously try to work on it this weekend, but it turns out aaron's gonna work on saturday so I don't have to.
so yeah... I say I'm gonna work on it... but I dunno.
since I don't have to work tomorrow now I have the option of garage sale-ing to find me a couch!
::: posted by tinafish at 8:12 PM :::
I showed him the posters I bought (I'd been flirting w/ moving into a one bedroom apt, so I bought posters for my future living room.) and he thinks they're cool, so they're still getting put up.
\m/
my sis called me for lunch, and since javier and I had been planning on going out for tacos I took him with me.
funny thing - my dad was convinced javier is my d00d. and get this - our waiter was convinced too!
lol
yeah... I guess my dad didn't expect javier to understand spanish, 'cause he (my dad) was talking some smack about him with our waiter.
And I picked up my pictures (the ones from my trip to the rgv) today.
I'll work on uploading them tonight.
::: posted by tinafish at 4:52 PM :::
I think I'd better write it on my arm, otherwise I'm gonna forget.
I'm gonna stick to the whole I'm-not-drinking-half-my-paycheck-away idea. Lus and I are supposed to play scrabble tonight.
lol
I've never played scrabble before.
the anarchist hippy is supposed to come over today to look at the apt.
I don't think doke realizes I have alarm clocks.
or maybe he just doesn't realize I know how to set them?
*shrug*
oh! it must be that he doesn't realize when I say "morning" it just means anytime before I go to work (I hafta be there @ 1600).
So anyway.
Dan's bday is on sunday.
he's spending the weekend w/ his chick & his parents.
I'm ~totally~ taking him out next weekend.
*yawn*
guess I'm gonna hit the shower, then.

Thursday, February 24, 2005 :::
Since we're not allowed to use space heaters here (at work) anymore, I decided to make coffee to keep warm.
Only I've never had to measure out the coffee stuff... grinds... right? whatever they're called, I've never had to measure them out before.
and the pot didn't say how many servings it holds...
I should have stopped there.
but I didn't. It didn't say, so I asked around and supposedly coffee pots usually hold ~ 10 cups.
So I opened up the coffee powder holder, and there's no measuring cup/scooper thingy inside.
so I guessed.
And I don't have a coffee mug, so I ended up using those big styrofoam (sp?) cups... not really big, but about 2 coffee mug's worth of coffee fits in each one.
I've had 3 cups. so about 6 mugs.
and instead of being wired, I am totally content.
all warm and fuzzy inside.
and ready for bed.
*yawn*

and the scab on my lip tore. and I started bleeding.
now I'm here at work, and we're talking about boondock saints, and the vg comic strip I linked to.
and I'm trying desperately hard not to laugh, since I don't want my lip to start bleeding again.
then the chach whispers to milkdud.
and milkdud grabs a mouse and starts doing the whole mouse-chasing-cursor bit that always cracks me up.
then he did it in bullet time, too.
um...
lol
I promise it was funny when it happened.
::: posted by tinafish at 4:24 PM :::
I was bored... and it occurred to me that mr. justin (who had my vote) is just too busy.
so that was that.
I went by the hospital to shoot the bull w/ lus for a bit.
about 0030 I went up to HC4 to chill w/ my sis & her crew.
I stayed 'till ~ 0330.
lol
I had a really good time.
I hadn't intended on really eating anything, but I ended up having a slice of german chocolate cake, gummy bears, lots of coffee, girl scout cookies, onion rings, half a burger, and a strawberry milkshake.
I'm such a glutton.
*shaking head*
my sis & my friend marleen are supposed to come over in the morning to watch the boondock saints.
I dunno if they'll like it, since they're kinda "proper" and um... there's a lot of cussing in the movie.
So I got home about half an hour ago... and it looks like doke's already started packing.
his poster and picture that he kept in the living room are both taken down.
it looks weird.
I was kinda hard on him earlier... but it's complicated.
I've come to be kinda resentful of him... at first I was grateful, since I probably wouldn't have survived the break up if not for him... but... I was damaged goods, ya know? I really didn't care. what kind of guy would date someone who has no reason to get out of bed everyday, aside to consume large amounts of alcohol? someone who is constantly crying over someone else, and spends every waking moment wishing things were different?
The more I think about it, the more angry I get.
So I try not to focus on it.
Only... that's not the only run in my pantyhose.
there's also the way he treats my friends, among other things. He just barely tolerates them... and tends to give the guys the stink eye.
When he moved in I promised him I wouldn't bring any guys (that I'm interested in, not my friends) over if he did the dishes, cleaned up around the apt, and took out the garbage. At the time I thought he was getting the short end of the stick.
*sigh*
I dunno. I know it's not my place to judge.... lord knows most days I'm still hung up on david.
just some days I'm not. Some days I'm happy with who I am and I just wanna sit at home and shoot the bull about how my day went and who I'm thinking about.
I guess I just don't understand how this all happened.
I remember I used to think he was a nice enough guy and a good friend.
and now?
*sigh*
now I'm looking for a new roommate.
*sigh*
and before you go forming opinions, keep in mind this is only my side of the story.
and a very censored version, at that.

I wanna say that smoking on sunday night is what got me feeling this way. even though I felt fine all day yesterday.
I don't think justin got me sick, since I don't think this is what he's sick with.
so yeah. it was me smoking.
I made a hundred dollar payment on my sprint phone.

because it's down I get to watch the boondock saints!

I was having an ~absurdly~ frustrating day... and I was getting kinda snappy and bitchy and all...
then I talked to justin for a bit... maybe five minutes at most... and then I was ok.
it's crazy.
he makes me like... stupid happy.
:x
I finally ate that canadian smoked salmon that marleen gave me.
doke doesn't like seafood and threw a fit about the way it smelled... so he ran off to get us some burgers while I ate the salmon.
I didn't eat all of it, and he's probably gonna kill me when he opens the fridge and gets the smell.
lol.
and I'm exhausted again.
must be all the food I've eaten today.

it's been aaaaaages since his last craving.
we're all stoked for him.
*stoked for teh chach!*
::: posted by tinafish at 8:51 PM :::
he's dared me to quit today.
more of a request, really... he's been awful worried about me since I started drinking.
So I may as well.
I mean... the reason I had such plans to get trashed today is 'cause today would be my & david's anniversary.
but it's obviously not.
(times like this I'm really glad I decided agst buying tinandavid.com)
So it's not our anniversary today, and I was gonna drink myself into oblivion because of it.
But you know... I'm really not as bad as I used to be.
I used to drink every day w/ the sole purpose of forgetting about him for even just a couple of hours.
And it's true what I used to say - my problems are still there when I sober up. But it's so nice to be able to just not worry about anything for a while... a little vacation every day.
Now I don't drink near as much - twice a week at most. As opposed to a few months ago when I'd wake up and have a couple of drinks right after I'd brushed my teeth, and I'd keep drinking throughout the day.
I was really bad there for a while.
Now I'm not so bad.
I go out now for the company. And I can keep doing that, even if I stop drinking.
At least, I think I can.
And with the money I save on not drinking I can finally start working on that wishlist of crap that I want.
so wish me luck, ya'll.
here's to a sober tina.
*cheers*
::: posted by tinafish at 1:17 PM :::
we both agree it's not working out.
so now I'm looking for a roommate.
again.
*sigh*
I may end up just looking into a one bedroom apt.
'cause I don't know if I wanna keep going through the whole I-need-a-new-roommate thing over and over again.
So I'm gonna stop drinking tomorrow.
Since I'd already made plans for today (Monday) I'm gonna stick to them, but no more after that.
I need to start watching where I spend my money... and I've easily been spending a couple of hundred dollars a month on liquor... so I'm gonna stop.
having a place to live is loads more important than getting toasty.

he seems like a really cool guy. really goofy and kinda sweet.
and I like him.
When he came by to pick me up, I was really nervous. I was afraid that he'd be a complete tool and that the only reason I liked him was 'cause I was drunk at the time.
but he's really cool. and we have stuff in common. and we disagree on some stuff.
I had ~so~ much fun w/ him yesterday.
We went to ihop, then to a park, then to pour house, then to walmart, and then back to pour house.
I felt kinda bad since he's sick and I was dragging him around, but for the most part he didn't seem to mind.
And Lus got to meet him, which is never a bad thing.
Just I wish we could've just chilled somewhere... watched some tv or played video games or something.
Justin left pour house a few mins after we got there (the 2nd time) to go home and go to bed.
so it was just lus and me for a while... then lus's cousin kevin showed up...
I had a really good time w/ them.
Hayden gave me an incredibe hulk (or something - it was green, that's the best I can do)
we went to rosita's after closing... I didn't eat anything.
I ended up getting sick.
When I got home I just went to bed instead of staying up & watching a movie w/ lus.

I'm wishing I'd brought a jacket instead of just a sweater.
So hopefully tonight I'll get an index page up for my photos folder.
and Lus mentioned that he wants to go to a tejano club tonight? weird.
we're gonna start out at pour house, though... and we'll probably end up staying there all night.
not that I would mind going to that tejano place. There's only two types of music I dance to - tejano and country. So if we do go, maybe I'll be able to drag lus out to dance. that'd be a lot of fun.
well I'm gonna sit here and stare at the ceiling while waiting for the delivery guy.

I deleted the half-assed photo gallery.
I'm working on getting something else up there.
I had big plans on getting that done tonight... but I dunno.
I went through and created different albums & tried to leave out more pictures than I'm putting in, so at least that's done.
methinks I'm gonna use photoshop & automate another few galleries... then just worry about making an index page to link them together.
yeah... that sounds like a plan.
so I'll automate & upload tonight, and hopefully I can get the index page done tonight too.

I'm absurdly hungry tonight. I haven't eaten since... yesterday.
my sis said she's got a carne guisada plate for me, so I'm gonna stop by the hospital before I go home.
Actually I should probably go home first, so I can pick up the sword adrian gave me for christmas. She's been wanting to see it.

I was a bit trashed so he brought me home last night - meaning I left my truck @ the pour house.
Lus came over after work to give me a ride to my truck, and so we could go out for brkfst.
Lus wanted to go to Ranch House, and they don't accept credit cards, so we stopped at united so I could use the atm.
We walked in... and I saw David's mom.
Part of me wanted to run up to her and give her a hug. the other part wanted to run and hide.
I did the latter.
David's her only child.
and I fucked it all up.
*sigh*
it was nice while it lasted, eh? I just wish I'd spent more time enjoying it than fussing about when it was gonna end.
So anyway. I'm watching an episode of tng on spike... the d00d who plays Tuvok is in it. and he's a bad guy.
weird.

I stumbled out of bed towards the bathroom to wash up... I opened my bedroom door and found a box of twinkies & a long stemmed rose... along w/ a note from doke.
thank you.
After I washed up I poured myself a glass of orange juice and logged on to check my email.
I got a nice letter from my friend David Fraga.
while I was writing back I got a couple of messages from one of my best friends, Rob (he's my valentine this year). he logged off before I could respond, but it was nice of him to wait around for me.
I also got a few IMs from javier, roger, robert, and a few people I don't know.
thanks guys!
so hopefully today won't be so bad.
I kinda broke down saturday night/sunday morning.
I'd been going through my iphoto library. about 95% of the photos I have involve something me & david did together.
*sigh*
it was not going well.
I called lus ~ 0630 to see what he was doing... I ended up going to pick him up from another afterparty... then we just jacked around 'till ~ noon.
I'd planned on going to sleep early... but each time I started to doze I started dreaming.
I ended up finally falling asleep ~ 2100. And I was supposed to give lus a ride to his car before he went to work, but I didn't.
*sigh*
wish I was more dependable.
and now I'm gonna watch MacGuyver.
hopefully I won't get too smashed tonight.

I got tired of waiting for photoshop to finish creating my gallery...
so I cancelled it and decided to upload what it had already done.
here's a link: half-assed photo gallery
now the only reason I'm evening mentioning this is because I decided to go through and clean up my iphoto library.
a while back I dloaded a photo album prog... but I set it up wrong and it just made a whole bunch of duplicates. So that's what I was cleaning up.
Only... I spazzed out... and accidently deleted originals instead of duplicates.
what were the pics of?
*sigh*
my 21st bday party.
*devastated*
But there is a bright side.
Because I started the photoshop album ~before~ I went through cleaning out my iphoto library, I'm hoping my bday pics'll turn up there.
So I we'll see.

I'd ~totally~ do the younger brother, if he had the older brother's accent.
*shrug*
or even with his accent.
lol
And we just watched Raging Bull!
OMG - I ~finally~ get that "you fuck my wife?" bit in Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill.
Lus is just broadening my movie culture horizons.
I was watching Crossing Jordan the other night and some d00d made some reference to that ending scene in The Graduate... the part where Ben is banging on the window yelling, "Elaine!!!!"
lol.
thanks lus!
had a fairly good time at the pour house.
there's too many people there on the weekends, ya know?
and the kitchen was closed when I got there, so we ordered pizza.
the highlight of the night was when the domino's delivery guy walked in, and one of the guys sitting at the bar is a pizza hut delivery guy...
it was great.
we played that bar trivia game, and the pizza hut guy was taking it ~way~ too seriously.
we made a walmart run @ ~ 0430 or so.
bought a crapload of stuff.
but nothing I didn't need.
heh - a lot of fishsticks.
we did a blind taste test btwn Gorton's and Mrs. Paul's...
I could pick out my Gorton's, but um... Mrs. Paul's was better.
But it was like comparing a pair of awesome brand new shoes to my amazing old worn out broken in sneakers.
so yeah. Lus has made a convert of me.
And with that said... Lus'll be heading home soon and I'll be going to bed soon.
and doke'll be waking up soon.
fancy that.

So I made some changes to my main page...
it's got hotspots instead of text links... 3 of them... just fyi.
I guess it's dumb to say that... since you've obviously made it this far.
I've been watching Kill Bill v1.
Lucy Lui is hot.
lol
So I think I'm done jacking w/ this for a while.
I'm gonna watch stargate now. I think. my netflix movies came in tonight.
possibly the boondock saints again.

And yes, Chris, your IQ is off the charts.

"A fight is going on inside of me," he said to the
boy, "it is a terrible fight and it is between two
wolves."
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorry, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevelance, empathy,
generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside
every person."
The grandson thought about it and then asked his
grandfather, "which wolf will win?"
The old cherokee simply replied, "the one you feed."

there are no car chases in books, eh?
Shinzon...
/drool
and I watched a bit of matrix revolutions.
Seraph...
/licking lips
have you heard that song? by liz phair... that one line says something like, "licking my lips, need a primitive fix..." and some other stuff.
It's been an... interesting last few days.
Lus and I... well... we shouldn't get drunk together. We have the... most cynical conversations.
Saturday night, after his gig, we came back here. He drank half a bottle of special reserve all on his own. I drank a lot that night too - 10 shots at bleachers... but I didn't drink when I got home 'cause my throat was so damn sore.
He was more than a bit drunk... and with this being February I'm not in too great a shape either...
we had a long talk about... assorted things... talked about how awful a world this is... how we all have to focus on the few rays of sun in the bleakness.
and we talked about our faith. or lack of, really.
And I kinda picked a fight w/ doke tonight.
tomorrow's ash wednesday. big catholic day.
neither one of us (doke nor I... actually lus too) are big on being catholic right now.
I forget what term lus used, but doke called himself a "non-practicing catholic," like it's a hobby or something, and not a way of life. After we talked a bit it seems he's agnostic.
I think it's odd he should still refer to himself as catholic.
*shrug*
It's not my place to judge his beliefs. Especially since right now I'm close to having none.
I've taken to just saying I was raised catholic.
I keep trying to resolve this. I keep trying to find my faith, or that happy medium I spoke of just last year.
*sigh*
I still want to get a theology degree. That's been my goal for a while. The whole nursing thing was just gonna pay for school, ya know? I still wanna go back to St. Thomas... but I'm starting to think it will never happen.
At this point I just wanna get some bullshit degree and join the peace corps.
I'm tired of just wasting away.
Speaking of wasting away..
I've been working on an image for my main page. I've got to get that pic of david kissing me off there.
It breaks my heart just to look at it.
Anyway. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it. I've got most of it figured out, just working on the details now.
I wish I had a digital camera. Instead of googling for images I could just snap my own shots. That'd be awesome.
Well I'm gonna take some more cough medicine and then go back to drooling over shinzon.

there is a reason I password protect my computer
Tim, on the other hand, does not.
but he probably will from now on.
Tim took his computer out and then walked off.
unfortunately for tim, his computer does not require a password.
the jesus fan came over and set tim's homepage to tubgirls.com and then ran off.
when tim found it none of us took blame, but aaron turned a shade of purple from laughing so hard.
also happened today... richard, aka chino, has been running around for the last 3 hours working on something...
and he's just leaving... saying he's trying to get out before our owner can set him to doing something else...
and we decide to call him & pretend he's still needed here.
lol
I got blamed for that one... I mean... I guess I did mention it.
but in my defense tim is the one who called.
*points at halo*
and I've got my hood on. apparently today is the day to stick things in my ears.
I've been reading assorted star trek trivia on imdb.com and I notice aaron pulls up right next to me and then I kinda see josh pull up on my right side...
I make sure my hood is secure and then I look at josh...
who has a pen in either ear, his tongue sticking out, and a stapler on his head.
roflmao
I love working here.

see now... this is what I'm talking about
'cause I mean... they're out there.
And this is what I'm talking about ->
In the episode "Relics", Scotty (guest star James Doohan) visits the
bridge of the Enterprise from "Star Trek" (1966) on the Holodeck. A
fan who recreated a life-size version of the bridge set generously
donated it for use in the episode, as the original set had long since
been demolished.

Lus and I went to Pour House last night... supposedly just to see hayden, sheila, and harry potter for a bit before we headed out to the depot district... we ended up staying 'till closing.
again.
lol.
Lus and I were both sober 'till last call... we had 4 drinks at that point.
we were talking w/ some guy... I dunno... matt or something... I was only chatting w/ the guys on commercials - Hayden set one of the tvs to the scifi channel for me. I watched SG1, Atlantis... I chatted through galactica, but went back to watching when tos came on.
I love that bar! I mean... how awesome is that? I went out drinking and still got to watch my favorite shows!
what else? we both dropped ~ $20... lus left a $15 tip... going there is always a bargain.
Then we went to denny's to visit RJ... and we sobered up a bit.
We made it back here ~ 0445 or so.
I probably shouldn't have gone out; I'm still feeling sick.
Actually I feel worse now... My throat is absurdly sore - I shouldn't have been smoking last night.
I'm gonna go search for my chloraseptic.

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thristy hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
[Chorus:]
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Yes I do
I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then
But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
We got divorcees and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses and we got barflies
A dumb-ass and a wise-guy
If you get too drunk just sleep out in your car
Reason number 672 why
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer-thirty's over
Got to take it on home
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
I just love it

einstein's not the only one who cares about relativity...
*sigh*
It's all relative, ya know?
I mean... what I consider wrong and what someone else considers wrong...
and then...
ya know?
I mean... I can live with my views. and that doesn't make anything you do wrong. not just because I think differently about it than you do.
I don't think this is making any sense.
I thought about this the whole drive to work... and it made perfect sense... but I can't seem to translate my thoughts into words.
I was supposed to go out w/ my friend Lincoln last night.
I didn't.
I didn't even call to cancel.
He's probably upset.
but he'll get over it.
I went home last night...
I felt kinda gross.
my sis and I went to the oriental market next door last night... we bought some eggrolls, baked sweet peas, a bread roll, shrimp chips, loveletters, sweet and sour prunes, and yan yans.
I ate more than half the bag of shrimp chips last night, and I felt like I was gonna explode.
on a side note - I've thrown up on the last couple of guys I dated... I was threatening to throw up on tim last night... he made the thought-for-the-day "eek! tina's threatening to date me! somebody help!"
So anyway... I went home last night. Doke and I watched El Mariachi and Desperado.
after that we surfed infommercials 'till he went to bed.
then I chatted w/ Slave for a bit. and I went to bed.
I woke up in a coughing fit... I took some of that cough medicine I was taking when I had bronchitis.
I calmed down a bit and then started having those dreams.
I was going through my yahoo email a while ago... I was reading emails rob & I wrote to each other about 3 years ago.
Now I wanna send him a valentine irl.
he's such a sweetie.
Aw. my sis just brought me dinner.
and ORANGE JUICE!!!!

I'm gonna get completely sloshed.
*sigh*
every. monday. this. month.
except the last.
so not ~every~ monday, eh?
I've stagnated... I'm not even too into the life I'm living now.
I feel like I'm too old to still be jacking around.
and my priorities are completely fucked now.
I don't really care about anything anymore.
and I'm too afraid to let myself care about anyone.
I thought about acquiring a guy for the holiday.
and dropping him as soon as the day passed.
or when it suited me.
I've decided not to.
wouldn't be fair, ya know?
not to the guy...
and not to me.
when all this first happened I was kinda angry at nicc...
but it's not all his fault, so I can't blame him.
all 4 of us were involved... and I made some shit decisions all on my own.
if any one of us had taken the time to just talk things through...
*shrug*
who knows how things could have turned out?
heh.
but we all know how things did turn out.
no use playing what-if at this point.
*sigh*
I saw BoB log on yesterday.
I closed my computer and walked away.
well, not literally walked away, but I made that choice - not to sit there and freak out.
I was thinking this morning of all the reasons I have to legitimize my wasted life to the world.
in the end...
in the end... all of it is just my life.
how I've grown up and all I've dealt with...
I'm still here. and it's still my life.
I can't blame other people for what I've done to myself.
and you can't regret anything you learn from.
maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.

then back to sleep.
