The strange but wonderful friday

Mom and I braved the "Black Friday" shopping crowds. We didn't get much accomplished, however we did eat a delicious lunch and had another one of our profound conversations. I wanted to share the lesson I'd learned about loving someone long-term. You see, I used to think that if someone was really and truly meant to be your "one true love" you would have eyes only for them. They would sate your interest. You'd never look elsewhere. . . .

Does anyone else realize how impossible this is? What I mean to say is, in life, you will likely be attracted to many people--even when you yourself are in love with one person. Thjs is a difficult lesson to learn, and also the lesson that dating anyone short term will be exciting, but after the excitement wears off, they usually can't surpass the one you truly love. I don't know if I've expressed this well--I'm still a little woozy (from the booze-y).

Jonah flaked out on me. The how's and why's I do not know, suffice to say we'd agreed to leave my house at 4:30, and at 4:30 he was calling me from Elm Grove (about ten mintues away) saying he was on his way to Pittsburgh. So, no concert for me. I wasn't really that dissapointed. Mom said "You know, you probably weren't meant to go to that concert."

Yep, probably!

So instead I went straight to the Mario Kart drinking party, were much to my delight Coconut Rum awaited. Bless you Dave K. and Justin B.! I had a WONDERFUL time. Lots of folks I haven't seen in a long time showed up, and I got to find out what they were doing. Jonah never made it to the party--he was stuck in Pittsburgh because someone's vehicle got impounded? All I could think is: thank god I didn't go. Life can be quite funny at times.

Wow, I thought I had alot of profound stuff to write about, but I think I'd rather go to bed :)

Last thing: Drinking can be a very thought-provoking experience. I know I spend all this time focusing on body, trying to gauge my reaction to alcohol, making sure I'm not going to puke or trip. Thoughts are directed inward. Also, it can teach you to listen to your thoughts and sift out what you really want to do from what drunk-you wants to do. I never realized this till today. Woo!

SLEEEEEEP
