watch the drool
I'm like a Pavlovian dog. Every time I see that 'you have mail' icon on my Yahoo Messenger, I run to my inbox to see who it is.
Unless it's Mike, (or you too, Skim) the wind gets taken out of my sails.

wishful thinking
I know it's wrong to wish for such things, but right now I would love for the roof to blow off my office building. Such a tragic event would force all of us to go home. Of course I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt. That's just bad karma. But as I've said countless other times this past year and a half, I don't want to be here.
Today I vow to mail in my application to community college.

take one down and pass it around
Sam and I keep talking about how we need new freinds. Not that we don't like the ones we have, but it's like eating your favorite food for dinner every night. After a while it gets old.
So I called up my friend from high school, Brian. We have a yo-yo friendship and I'm the one in control. Sometimes I talk to him, sometimes I don't. I'm not being completely mean here. There's a reason.
He had a heartwrenching breakup and it still tears him apart. He broke up with her OVER A YEAR AGO! Yeah, I know break ups are hard. I had a hell of a time getting over Matt and Jay, but Brian gripes about her every time I see her. It's getting very old. And the bitterness he keeps is really unhealthy. Frankly, I'm just tired of hearing about it.
Anyway, I called up Brian to do happy hour with me and Sam last night. It was ok. Brian did most of the talking - about his bitterness about his ex-girlfriend, how he's never going to date a girl with kids again, the problems with the youth of today (he's a special ed teacher), and the pains of being a single 30 year old when all your friends are married.
Jeez...he's a real party starter. But I feel it is my civic duty to bring him into my circle of single thirty-something friends. He needs to get out and like I said, we need to bring more friends into the rotation.
