Hoops


Saw my parents the other day and my mom was still outta sorts. So she picked herself up a hula-hoop. Said that she hadn't used one in like 40 years. But she's proud cause she can do it like 200 times. Gotta say, I was impressed.

As I write this, she's singing What A Wonderful World in the other room. I smile cause she's getting better and shut off the TV to listen.

----------

Read all the comments from my last post and Sarcasticserum said that I have my own little internet cheering section. That made me laugh.

S'fair trade: I give the you spectacle of my ridiculous life and you sit and read. A comment or two couldn't hurt.

Still, what's more boring than a non-womanizing, womanizer? But, hope you stick around anyway. Cause it's always the supporting cast that really makes the show worth watching living.

Hazel: Good luck, Logan. I'm hoping that whatever you have with Heartgirl is...exactly what you want it to be. (pause) You should put away my toothbrush. You need to make room for hers.

Blue: I wish you were my person...mostly because I want to meet him already. But if you're not my person, maybe you're my people. It's hard finding good people.

You can never have enough good people. And it's worth going through all the hoops to find them.

Thanks for reading and being on my side.

Music: on the faces of people going by I see friends
YASYCTAI: Speaking of supporting cast, remember my buddy that told me about the tasteful nude photos - well he's a designer by trade, read his design blog at www.rickywong.com. (1 min/0.5 pts)

We're all the stars of our own little dramas. For my friends I accept that I'm their supporting actress and they're mine. But leading man's another story.

Honestly though . . . I'm really happy you've dedicated yourself to not womanizing. I joke that I'm a moral relativist but I have to say from experience its really painful to care about someone who cares about you and six other people or whatever it may be. So I do respect you more for this decision as irrational as my own moral continuum may potentially be.

I never do anything half-assed so I figured that if I was going to be single, I was going to be really single. Ergo, womanizing.

However, as luck would have it, I don't do relationships half-assed either so I'm hoping this will work out. It's tiring, being single, I think.

That's good. Wish I could get someone to do that for me. I hope its not too presumptuous to say I'm proud of you for this.

I'm happy you found someone to be your special lady, and for sure, I'm going to keep reading. It's not the drama and the partying that I come here for, it's the profound point of view that you put on life. People being on your side, ships passing in the night, having only one plate and fork because there's only one you, venn diagrams, wondering if your insides match your outsides, beautiful little vignettes like these are what keep me reading.

This comment jumped out at me - I didn't realize until now how many sort of inside things we have between us, that is to say, me as a writer and all of you as readers.

Thanks for noticing them all and reminding me of them.

Now, your relationship life is interesting too...

Ha, it didn't occur to you that we're really, really reading your writing, did it? You're welcome. I enjoyed reading all of those "inside things," probably more than you did writing them down; after all, the effect your words have on others is greater than they have on yourself, no? Although, it seems you're well aware which phrases are profound, since you constantly refer and link back to previous entries.

My relationship isn't that interesting, it's just a lesson in what not to do. And that lesson is, "Don't be the other man/woman in an affair. Everyone loses, and by everyone, I mean you."

Like I said on my previous comment. If your entries are starting to dwindle, you're just enjoying life a little more and that means it's with your girlie. There's no hurt in that. I'm here to cheer you on, but most of all, I'm here to read about life and your point of view... =)

You asked me just *what* you could blog about...I laugh at that because you live in NYC, there is so much around you to share with us. People, signs, weird encounters with crazy New Yorkers, business jokes, whole wheat donuts, cooking experiments, your parents, the cash cab. Are you going to stop taking pictures now just because you've found a girlie? I didn't think so. Why do you take the pictures? Tell us. :)

The reason I friended you was because of a post in [info]picturing_food of your fridge full of peanut butter and rum. That led me to a post about how that morning you had finally stopped making two cups of coffee in the morning out of habit. It was heartbreakingly truthful. I wouldn't mind to hear when you remember again to make two cups of coffee in the morning. :)

You're interesting. There's a whole lotta lack of that in the LiveJournal Realm.

Ah, you always write the best comments.

Is that how we "met?" I'll have to remember to post more in that community. I often take pictures of food but never have the chance to put them up. I will soon.

I'm glad we met.

I think it comes with being honest about who I am and what I'm looking for. I'm surprised as many of the women I've met want to stick around in my life. And I'm very grateful that they do.

And that you stick around too. I've not seen any new entries about your miracle bean but I'm hoping this is a good thing.

Well, it's a change. Change is usually interesting.

You can never have enough good people. And it's worth going through all the hoops to find them.
Indeed. Sometimes it makes me sad when good people leave my life, but I guess that makes room for new good people I've yet to meet.

Good people are hard to find so it's good to keep them around if you can.

I'm hoping that my life is not quite that interesting any more but I don't think I'll get my wish. But this will mean ample reading material for you all.

Not a problem in this cheering section. Just because you found your SING doesn't mean you stop talking to people, drinking rum (aged), taking Syd out, observing life, trying to save George's lives... oder?

Thanks, I'm glad my mum's better too.

I'd love some kids. But it took us four or five months to even get to dating so we'll probably stick around that area for a bit.
