The Plot Thickens...and Congeals

Oh dear. things reached a fever-pitch of lunacy, ridiculousness, and the absurd last night at founders.

poor hfg! we were laughing like a table of pre-schoolers most of the evening, checking out the efrs. they, apparently, were checking us out, too, because when hfg went to put his tray away, he was looking in our direction, and went down the stairs instead of taking it to the tray place! realizing his error, he came back up the stairs and deposited his tray in the tray rack.

i thought i would die. we were laughing like hyenas, which made me feel terribly, since he was probably already embarrassed.

i should probably say something to him, but i don't know what. poor guy. i'm so embarrassed. this thing has been building up forever, and it will probably all come to naught. i hope alessandro didn't get his wires crossed and inform Febreeze that I'm interested in him rather than in hfg.

this is starting to sound like a Shakespearean comedy of errors and mistaken identities.

to top it all off, he and i were wearing the same sweater! my friends just about pushed me in his direction or waved him over to come sit with us. i was joking that there would be a hanging last night if they had done that. this will probably end so anti-climactically, given all the suspense so far.

my emotional age decreases with every day I spend here, I think.

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out...

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
