Wow it is good/wierd/odd/stressful/relaxing to be home!
It's just wierd being home as a visitor. I am crashing on the couch in my apartment because my room downstairs is already occupied by a subrenter who will take over the lease when it runs out in a month or two.
But I am back with my closest friends and that makes me very happy.
I spent my first day running around and seeing all my good friends. There are only 4 of them so it was easy.
I've been sleeping late into the morning (mind you waking up at 845 is sleeping late for me) and playing on the computer and drinking. Went grocery shopping and bought real fuckin' food! yes! bought deli turkey and Monster (muenster) cheese...yummmmm! and wine and woodchuck and all kinds of yummy ice cream and fresh! veggies and potato bread. I am gonna have to eat all this in the next week...don't think I can't do it.
I had the obligatory family dinner last night. Ugh. I hate these things. I am not at all close with my family in any sense. I love my father and mother but can't stand my father's current spouse (religous bible thumping, gossipy, judgmental, condescending, lazy. and generally self-centered step-monster) my mom's 4th husband seems like a nice guy but I've never really met him. My siblings either dissapoint or disgust me. My sister would be ok if she could get over the whole sociopathic thing. At least she and I can discuss tattoos and recreational pharmaceuticals. and anything beyond the immediate family...I can barely remember thier names. Anyhow...the family dinner turned into me eating at the corner of the table and letting them all accuse and argue with each other and then at the end of the meal my grandmother told me to be sure to come over and my dad's sister did the same. and I will likely have to go. ugh
but the food was great and my baby nieces were adorable and better behavd than the rest of us.
First Friday was great! Howard's opening at IV Design went pretty well. It was cool to see the people out. and the girls. shooooooosh! (as i would tell girlblue). Ok...you have to realize that I have spent the last 8 months with almost a complete lack of contact with women...so...being the lusty little slut that I am...I had about 12 heartattacks just walking from the apartment to the gallary. If I wasn't such a shy idiot lovefool about women! I think there were electric sparks shooting off of my skin. oh the delicious torture of it all! I saw Howard's mom at the opening and she is as close to me as my own parents and it was good to see her and she pulled the Jewish mom "why haven't you got a nice girlfriend yet? and are you eating enough?" thing and kept pointing out the prettiest girls to me and pushing me over in thier direction...of course with me doing the baby cartton vulture "nope nope no no duh...." routine. :-) she's a treasure.
well anyway eventually the crowd got to me. I have a phobia of large crowds and not at all used to them. So I walked back to the apartment and some people were hanging out there..the residuals of people who had been ot the gallaries and had just wandered in to see what was hanging up this month in our aprtment/artspace...so drank and conversed with a blessfully small group and then passes out on the couch still wearing my jeans and Sandman T-shirrt...
and there you have it.
gonna go play pool with my dad this afternoon and go drag Howard and Liddy (if she'll go. I think she is going to avoid me) to see Red Dragon!
and that's the story, morning glory

oh my woken up by a train. the apartment and the Blue Star are old converted warehouses...(turns out my Grandmother actually worked in one as an accountant on this huge old adding machine in the 40's) train tracks run about 20 feet behind the back wall. Train just came by going slow...squeeling sound of metal on metal death like a baby robot being tortured and torn to pieces. Awoken from a deep slumber. I was working in this house...not a brothel but a strip club with lots of private rooms. I was friends with some of the girls and would help them set up thier rooms at the beginning of thier shifts...of course I wasn't sleeping with any of them...I am an idiot that way...anyway there was some kind of oddness....lizards running loose in the building and a serial killer that I was hoping to keep away becuase he was sending evil postcards....(competing influences of SG, having seen Red Dragon, and read the Enigma comic I guess) I don't want to be awake right now...things were odd last night.
