Logan's 36/Say Anything

Airplane Window at sunset
 

Two observations: (1) Got no fewer than four friends with relationships on the rocks; (2) I always get hit on more in the spring.

Think they're related: it's spring cleaning. People wanna be out and about maybe, capitalize on the weather, see what else's out there.

As for Heartgirl and me, well, last weekend was just perfect. And we both know that perfect and I don't work well together; she's still tired of hearing me talk. But I'd like to see how our story goes.

There was a time when bad things happened to you, you put on a black mourning jacket as a quiet testament to your sorrow. Nowadays, it's a lotta status updates, vitriol and poor grammar.

That's why I try to sort things out before I write about them. Waited almost a month before I told you about the theft. And three months after my initial breakup to tell you about it. Need time to make sure something's actually something and not a whole lotta nuthin. Wonder if I can still tell the diff.

Everyone's got a place where they go to sort things out. King Midas had his reeds. Lloyd Dobler had his friends.

Me? I keep thinking that I'd like to go elsewhere, and still not necessarily somewhere and tell them my story. Cause who'd believe it? But since I can't, suppose I got this here blog. Write it for me more than anyone.

But it's my birthday and I get to make a request, yeah? I don't ask for much, don't think: world peace, some soup from time-to-time, the occasional call...

My request is this: who's still reading? Yeah, I've got my stalwart group of people that comment and drop by with regularity (thanks guys) but I'm curious if it's just them.

In my head, I imagine there're people that never comment yet read me regardless.

So, just like last year and the time before: wish me a happy birthday and say something, alla you bastards that read me but never say anything.

Life - Real and otherwise



So either my parents are reading my blog, someone's telling them about it, or they're eerily perceptive. I've been crashing with them when I get out past 21:30.

Him: Sit down, I wanna write you something. (writes) This is from Mencius. Before Life decides to give greatness onto someone, she'll test them first - she'll make them suffer. It's suffering that gives you depth and wisdom.
Me: Thanks but...why're you telling me this now?
Him: (shrugging) You got home so late. I thought you should know.

Her: Do you want some rum?
Me: (shocked) What?
Her: I like rum. I've got the spiced kind for some rum cakes and one from Brazil. Do you like rum?
Me: (long pause) A little.

Really, really weird.

----------

I wonder if you and I'd get along in real life.

I'm told I'm funny and smell nice in RL; I'm also told I get moody right quick and disappear for months - years, sometimes. But I'd call or write - or at least wonder how you were. Honest.

It's probably better you just come to this blog and find out what I'm up to, shug, and go, Eh, about the same.

Speaking of the same, I'm sick again. Send soup?

This modern love



Note to self: 48 oz of black coffee with DayQuil in one sitting is way too much caffeine.

Way...too...much.

Pardon me as I curl up and shake myself to death.

----------

Nadi, I actually posted a happy date story once. Of course that too went to hell but that's neither here nor there. And I had two nice dates recently but one ended up as a figurative train wreck; the other, a literal car wreck.

A while back, I did see a girl I've was orbiting around for almost a year right before she got gone.

Her: Hi! (pause) Did you ever work through your things?
Me: (pause) In a manner of speaking.
Her: What does that mean?
Me: (thinking) There's this river, Lethe, that the Greeks thought that, when you died, your spirit went there to drink from it so you could forget your former life and get on with your new one.
Her: Okaaay...creepy...and...
Me: (laughing) You're trying to forget someone; I'm trying to forget someone. It's like that song This Modern Love, Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Her: (laughing) This has got to be worst invitation for a date I've had since junior high.
Me: I go for the superlative. So...you wanna come over and kill some time?
Her: (thinking) Sure.

Interestingly, in classical Greek, lethe could also mean the opposite of truth; the opposite of real.

This modern love is like lactose-free, shelf-stable, non-fat, non-dairy cream.

All the trappings of the real thing without a drop of it.

Not even a drop.

She's a sweetheart. I hope she finds something someone real.

Red rum on the rocks with a slice of orange / You awake?



Once again, I'm gonna ask you to send me soup.

Every time I go through these two week periods with little sleep and lots of work, I worry about getting sick. And then I get sick.

Dammit.

With nods to Sabatoa, Katsmw, Furison, and everyone who's asked me this in real life - I have this conversation almost every weekend:

Him: Nasty. Why rum?
Me: I like the taste of a good aged rum, like a Cruzan or Montecristo. Plus it's got the least amount of carbohydrates, acetaldehyde and congeners so you can drink buckets of the stuff and never get a gut, a hangover, or into a fight.
(pause)
Also, I like to pretend I'm a pirate - YAAARRRRRG!
----------

Her: (whispering) Are you awake?
Me: (sleepily) I'm always awake.

Music: Around a quarter to two I have remembered all of my lines
