Today sucked. I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to pretend it didn't happen. Wednesday was better. Let's talk about that. Sometimes even guys can surprise you. My absolute favorite Texan came by the store. He brought me a Christmas card and two Christmas CDs that he burned for me. They're great. He picked my favorite versions of a lot of songs. I had fruitlessly been trying to download some songs to put together a Holiday playlist for my iPod and I hadn't been having much luck. I couldn't find a lot of the songs I was looking for and it was really starting to piss me off. So he saved me hours and hours of frustration. It was very sweet of him. He also gave the CDs cute titles. (See blog title above ;) Yesterday I also found out that I officially got the photo gig I mentioned a couple weeks back. I'm headed to Seattle in March as the official photographer for the Ronald McDonald House/Microsoft Hockey Challenge. Woo Hoo! I'm pretty psyched about it and it should be a lot of fun. Two days of hockey, hockey, hockey. It also justifies the new digital camera I'm buying myself for Christmas now ;) Friday night is my company Christmas party. We're going to a swanky Italian restaurant so that should be fun. Then for the weekend I plan to go to a movie theatre and watch as many movies as I can. Not very exciting for most of you out there I'm sure, but I think it sounds like a perfect way to spend a day (or two). Nothing else to report. I just felt the urge to write something (aside from my developing Christmas carol), but now I feel the urge to sleep, so it's off to bed for this little girl. Just need to write this day off and start over tomorrow... Happy thing for today is TNI. I miss him terribly, but just hearing his voice helped to make my day seem less horrific...
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." -- Neil Gaiman
