fair warning

Slate held a memoir week, where they published a bunch of short articles on how authors alerted people that they were writing about them. It was really interesting because it not only showed how the memoirists dealt with this, but also gave insite into their writing process. Here’s the link, though I don’t know if anmyone who reads this would care.
I will warn you all now. If I know you I either have written or will write about you. If you have ever kissed me, I guarantee I already have plenty of pages on you. Plenty. Just fair warning :)
I’ve been working on my memoir. But its not at all cohesive. Right now it’s mostly just a bunch of snippets and random memories. I don’t know how to start it. I go back and forth on it. Do I start at the moment he kissed me and the relationshp began or do i start at the moment the problems came to fruition? Do I leave the audience in the dark for a bit or put all my cards on the table on the first page? I don’t know. I do not know.
tomorrow is another day

Out of the dullness, one thought arose. [He] did not love her and never really loved her and the knowledge did not hurt. It should hurt. She should be desolate, broken hearted, ready to scream at fate. She had relied upon his love for so long. It had upheld her through so many dark places. Yet, there the truth was. He did not love her and she did not care. She did not care because she did not love him. She did not love him and so nothing he could do or say could hurt her.

Do you ever get an email from a store or a company that you signed up from a list for? Does that email ever have a glaring mistake in it or a link doesn’t work or an image doesn’t work? Do you then think, Jeeze this is a professional company shouldn’t they produce something better? Well, stop it! Sometimes someone send out an email to 50,000 people that has a wrong phone number and then has to spend the next three hours frantically trying to send a new corrected one even though she is in a meeting and has no clue how to pull a new list and the person who pulls mailing lists isn’t there. :(
Did I mention I had a bad day yesterday?
When I got home from work I read something that I probably shouldn’t have read. Why is it that a guy can treat one girl like shit and then turn around and be a completely different person to someone else?
I spent my night in bed with pizza and a DVD of Gone with the Wind that cost $4.50 to rent. You can buy 20 good horror films for that price. The movie was 4 hours long and pissed me off because I kept imagining one of the characters looking more like Benjamin Mackenzie and in the film he looked like a skinny prissy rat. I guess I shouldn’t imagine Civil War novels as being played by the cast of the O.C.
happily ever after

1. 24 finally started being a good show. They got a love story, it’s all I ask for!!! Love not war! Kissing not bombs!
2. Tonight Nad and I went to pick up my bridesmaids dress (it now fits perfectly so i will be the perfect hot single bridesmaid!) I told her that i want to do my hair like this for the wedding:
I think she’s OK with it…as long as I don’t wear a headband.
3.faeriewingtips: wtf? my computer just told me “a running program is incompatible with your color scheme”
Glitterbot: okaaaaaay?
Glitterbot: apparently, even you comp thinks that pink is too much
4. Chris Sligh was voted off tonight. He was my early favorite but I haven’t liked him lately. His singing went downhill, he got way too full of himself, and he stopped being funny. Go Dolittle!
5. You know what sucks??? When you spend over a month reading a thousand page book only to get to the end and it be really sad and not happily ever after. :( books make me cry. I guess the ending fit though. Other than that Gone With The Wind was an amazingly good book and probably one of the best I’ve ever read. I think I am kind of partial though because, sadly, I saw a lot of myself in Scarlett.
baking and breaking down

After Nadia’s shower on Saturday I was supposed to go to a party at Robert’s, but the shower ran a little late and the three cups of champagne punch I had made me a wee bit drowsy.So I went home to nap. Sorry I couldn’t make it!
Anyways, here are the brownies you would have had if I had gone:
After a nap, I heard from JoeJoe that since Helen was in town, Hood wanted to do something. So, I headed out to the Kerry Piper to meet some peeps. I didn’t feel like drinking so I ordered a Coke, but the guy brought me a diet Coke (I don’t like diet soda, and fake sugar makes me sick some times) so I didn’t even drink it all (and when I did I think I made the same face I make when i try to drink beer). I suppose I could have complained, but eh. I am glad though that I didn’t buy a drinkdrink becasue from the looks of the bill all of the drinks were mighty expensive.
Anyways, we got to talking about registries and now Joe is convinced that he should register for his wedding at Sam’s Club. He wants dino nugguts and a gallon of ranch dressing. :)
So, at one point I start laughing like crazy and MK thinks it was because of a joke he told, as if he’d ever said anything funny in his life, but no, it was because of this:
:)
So, yeah. That was the first weekend that I had human contact in a month. JoeJoe needs to be in town more often because I think he is officially my only friend. Now to make him my only fiance too :)
