Friday, Jul. 21, 2006 @ 10:20 pm So James came to visit & though I didn't exactly get to introduce him to my family (as I was working a 14 & he had to do the introducing on his own) I did get to spend a day or two with him at home & now am living in quiet anticipation for our next few days together. I'm no so good at the "relationship" thing, being independent & such, but I promise that I'm trying to open up to the idea of someone else being around. Trying not to get grumpy about little things & learn to share my time with someone other than me. Giving up days off is so far a bust, I've worked 12 days in a row & get next Wednesday off as a fluke... that'll make 18 days off between days off & my friends I tell you ... something has got to give. My feet hurt just as bad as they do when I do the 14s & so I guess I just need to stay off of them more often. I've curbed my CD habit & whittled down my drinking to one night a week (if I'm lucky seeing how I'm too damn tired to make my way to The Pub after work) in order to save money, but still I can't see getting by without the income the part-time brings in. Sort of feeling stuck about it. Burying the whole shoddy mess in books. Ignore it Poppy, it'll go away ... read away those blues girl. Reading at least two a week, sometimes three. Suki & Davey suggest & loan lots which I'm truly grateful for (even the Nora Roberts ... oi, not my type, but it fills my head with words & that is what I seek). Otherwise I'll read pretty much anything I can get my hands on, shit I wouldn't normally read if you paid me (but it was my lunch hour, I was done with the book I had been reading & it was the only thing NOT dripping with The Jesus in the entire Cancer Society thrift store). New "V.C. Andrews" books, that weren't really written by her (since she's dead & all) ... that suck so much it's embarassing & the writing is horrid & hilarious like bad soap operas & I giggle all the way through like they were written by Sedaris or Klosterman. What's up with "V.C. Andrews" & incest? Even the Quasi-V.C.s are all up in the incest. Brother on sister action all over the place. Creepy. But not in the good-good Anne Rice way. Feel free to suggest books then, if you will, I'd appreciate it. :blowing my speakers: Fruit Bats ~ The Earthquake of '73
