Things I Never Thought I'd Say: #1
If a really good looking guy comes looking for me, I’m not here!
And it’s going to get much use this weekend. I head down to Queens on Friday. On Saturday afternoon I have a baby shower for my cousin at which I will meet another baby cousin for the first time. This is the daughter of my almost famous cousin Sunday, July 24, 2005
Rollercoaster of Love
I don’t even know where to begin. This weekend did not turn out as I had expected. You see....
-Turns out the only person to be crazy about me in a long while is actually crazy. No really. Like call me 559 times a day crazy. Like show up at my apartment at 10:30am crazy. Like act like we’ve been dating for years when I’ve only known you a week crazy. Like make me run around closing and locking every window in the house crazy. ::craaaazy:: This makes me so sad. I spent a good, oh, I don’t know, 15 hours making out with this boy in one night only to find out he’s nuts. What a waste of a good kisser. Needless to say, if he hasn’t already figured it out for himself, he will be getting the ax shortly.
-Thankfully Dell invited me to the ballet for some much needed relaxation and comic relief. Clearly we are not cultured enough to go to the ballet because we do things like this and this. In all honesty, I really liked it.
-Two couples I know - one mostly virtually and the other since college - have become parents this weekend. It’s amazing and crazy and surreal. And it makes dealing with shit like crazy men even harder when I think about where they are in their lives and where I still am in mine.
-I dropped several hundred dollars today on this beauty. Now might be a good time to update my checkbook. Yeah, lemme go do that. Well, after I finish playing with it.

Rock stars, here I come.

Oh the Scandal (for real, yo)
I was sitting in the waiting room of my doctor’s office when I spotted an article. My mouth dropped to the floor and I called my mother immediately.
Teacher arrested in sex case
BY DENISA R. SUPERVILLE AND ROCCO PARASCANDOLA
STAFF WRITERSJuly 22, 2005
A city school teacher was arrested after he took his toddler with him on a would-be tryst in Greenwich Village with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl, police said yesterday.
This is my JHS music teacher! I had him for three years. And any one of us girls could have told you that this was bound to happen.
Can I Go Back Home?
Today has not started well. I arrived at the office to find a giant dead crow right outside our building. Ew.
Then a few of us got into a heated discussion about terrorism and it is now apparent that I’m even more of a flaming liberal than previously thought. See, I just don’t think we should be shooting people for looking suspicious. So the new policy is shoot first, ask questions later? Wtf? And do I think random searches on the subway is actually going to stop terrorism? No. I’m sorry if I don’t want to live in a police state but I don’t. Maybe if I felt any one of our so-called leaders actually cared about preventing terrorism by attacking it at it’s roots (ie. poverty, AIDS, etc.) then maybe I could accept the extra police presence for now. But we aren’t doing anything and so it will never end.
Ok, on a happier note—these two are having a baby today!!! Go send them good wishes.

There's Always A Down Side
This was a bad idea. Baaaad idea. Because now I cannot focus on work.
At. all.
You see, my kiss must’ve been something else *wink* because he wanted to see my again later. I don’t know the last time anyone wanted to see me twice in one day, let alone a boy. So I did what I promised myself I wouldn’t do for a boy ever again: ditched going to the gym. Instead I went out to dinner with him. And then there was making out. Much making out. In my car. In the park. I felt like a teenager again. I had to literally throw him out of my car because it was getting so late.
And now? Now I am suffering. Now all I want to do is be decadent and kiss and make out like I used to do for hours on end in college and all this having to be an adult and do work crap is just not cutting it.
Wasting Away Like a Castle of Clay
I somehow lost another pound. Wtf? Now I’m starting to wonder. I haven’t weighed this little since I had my heart broken into a million pieces and lost my appetite. That was nearly six years ago. Granted, that was an unhealthy kind of weight loss, but this one still has me baffled. I know it’s summertime and so I’m eating less and doing more in the way of physical activities. But while my clothes are fitting better, I feel like I look exactly the same so I’m not sure where exactly this weight is leaving my body from.

Take Tomorrow
It’s fitting that glittering.org died the day it did. I was working on this post about looking ahead, taking charge of my life, being positive and moving on.
And so here I am at my new home.
I actually bought this domain back in May. I’d been growing tired of glittering, but nothing else inspired me. I also had to restrain some of what I said because of who might be reading. Then we saw Phantom Planet and inspiration was had. For those of you who haven’t yet realized the greatness that is PP, ‘victim of obsession’ comes from one of their songs. And it certainly is fitting. If nothing else, I am a woman obsessed.
The last few months have been, well, different. All this running around after rock stars has made me take a hard look at my life. In reality, things are pretty good. I have my family, my friends, my Zoe, a job, a place to live, a car to drive and, as far as I know, my health. But like everyone else, there are things I wish were different. The only difference now is I’m finally ready to do something about it. Maybe it’s my impending 20-10th birthday, maybe it’s the rock stars, who knows. Whatever it is, I’m going full steam ahead.
I’ve done some things to change myself physically, but probably the biggest thing I’ve done so far is apply for a job for the first time in seven years. My current boss has essentially sucked all my love for this job right out of me. I gave it a year and nothing has changed. It’s time to move on. While a 2 1/2 hour meeting with my boss went really well yesterday, I’m still keeping my options open because he has a nasty habit of making me like him and then screwing me over in some big way.
So, for my 20-10th birthday, I see myself looking the way I want to look, working at a job that inspires me, and enjoying the life that I have.
Who’s with me?
In my head all I hear is Phantom Planet's Dropped

Pssst....
I just kissed a boy, during the workday, right outside the office. *gasp* Oh the scandal. I haven’t done that since I was dating the 19-year-old cafe boy.
