06:08 pm - What I did on my honeymoon....or, more exactly, what my husband did to me!

09:31 pm - This is the nicest thing ANYONE has EVER written about me

(FROM my wonderful hippie mom. Don't laugh. This means a lot to me.)

I speak from experience:

With Ry you walk a longer distance, faster than you think you can

With Ry you swim deeper in the ocean, without fear

With Ry you laugh hard and often, from your belly

With Ry you travel to places you did not know you needed to visit, until she took you

With Ry you see, rather than look and do not miss a thing

With Ry you learn because she insists you question and think and you are glad you did

With Ry you feel understood and know love

Steve knows this or he would not have proposed, congratulations
And best wishes to the bride, my daughter, Ryan.

11:49 pm - Oh my. The. Filth.

Sweet Steve was mad at me for leaving him for two weeks. This is what I came home to.

05:00 pm - Bachelorette Party anyone?

11:16 pm

I wish I had actually watched the Oscars...but instead I just got drunk with friends.
Steve's away, so his liquor is up for grabs.

10:52 pm

I'm drunk. And I am moving in with Steve.

09:40 pm - Its all about the ring

Not too long ago...
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919- )

Not too long ago
after the beginning of time
upon a nine o'clock
of a not too hot
summer night
standing in the door
of the NEW PISA
under the forgotten
plaster head of DANTE
waiting for a table
and watching
Everything
was a man with a mirror for a head
which didn't look so abnormal at that
except that
real ears stuck out
and he had a sign
which read
A POEM IS A MIRROR WALKING DOWN A STRANGE STREET
but anyway
as I was saying
not too long after the beginning
of time
this man who was all eyes
had no mouth
All he could do was show people
what he meant
And it turned out
he claimed to be
a painter
But anyway
this painter
who couldn't talk or tell anything
about what he
meant
looked like just about the happiest painter
in all the world
standing there
taking it all 'in'
and reflecting
Everything
in his great big
Hungry Eye
but anyway
so it was I saw reflected there
Four walls covered with pictures
of the leaning tower of Pisa
all of them leaning in different directions
Five booths with tables
Fifteen tables without booths
One bar
with one bartender looking like a
baseball champ
with a lot of naborhood trophies
hung up behind
Three waitresses of various sizes and faces
one as big as a little fox terrier
one as large as a small sperm whale
one as strange as an angel
but all three
with the same eyes
One kitchendoor with one brother cook
standing in it
with the same eyes
and about
one hundredandsixtythree people all talking and waving
and
laughing and eating and drinking and smiling and
frowning
and shaking heads and opening mouths and putting
forks and
spoons in them and chewing and swallowing all kinds
of produce
and sitting back and relaxing maybe and drinking coffee
and lighting cigarettes and getting up and so on
and so off
into the night
without ever noticing
the man with the mirrorhead
below the forgotten
plasterhead of DANTE
looking down
at everyone
with the same eyes
as if he were still searching
Everywhere
for his lost Beatrice
but with just a touch
of devilish lipstick
on the very tip
of his nose

Yesterday I got some really bad personal news. Something that completely threw me for a loop. Something that made me feel unsafe. Something that spiraled me back into the past where I dont like to go.

I was meeting Kate for a movie. We returned the tickets and proceeded to get wrecked.

About Kate: When I first met her I thought she was so much fun, but I was scared of another Leo girl friend (like Kiwi and Shelly - the two great best friends of my life). They are the most intense friends, but sometimes can be so selfish and harsh for us sensitive cancerians.

Last night Kate made me feel great. She did and said everything I needed...I feel so happy to have a friend like her. She was totally 100% there for me. And I suddenly remembered why it is worth it to have girlfriends. Why it is totally necessary. Kate rocks. Kate is my friend. MY friend. For real.

Among other things we got a random tarot card reading from a witch/coke dealer who was completely dead-on right about everything. His reading for Kate was incredible. His reading for me (yes, I asked about S) was unbelievable.
Obviously one shouldn't make life decisions based on a bunch of cards - but I have the soul of a dirty hippie - so I probably will anyways.

I woke up this morning, watched the sunrise and started to throw things out. Boxes and Boxes. I need to make room for the new.

out with the witches...

09:13 pm - You can not resist me

FAVORITE MOMENT OF LAST NIGHT:
Steve grabbing my hand (what a romantic) when the girl we were getting a joint lap dance from had her ass in his face.
This was before she explained she had a fiance but that they had an open relationship and ?would we be interested in a threesome? and then tried to kiss me on the lips.

Oh wait - my favorite moment was actually Monica singing. Or was it Monica, Rachel and I stuffing dollars into g-strings (did Rachel rub a leg?) Or maybe Brads ear-to-ear grin. Or was it waking up, still drunk, with naked Steve sleeping on the other end of the bed. What were we doing?

03:00 pm - Caught

I just got caught masturbating in the bathroom by my boss.
Can you get fired for that or would it be considered sexual discrimination?

04:52 pm - Oooops!

Never Date a Cancer

Clingy, emotional, and very private - it's hard to escape a Cancer's clutches. And while Cancer will want to know everything about you, they're anything but open in return. Instead try dating: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, or Aquarius

01:15 pm - Wedding

I had the best weekend in Los Angeles. My brother's best friend, son of my mom's best friend, got married. My mom and brother came out from their prospective islands in Hawaii. Jonny gave the best speech i have ever heard a best man give. It started with a long talk about how Jonny and Jay would play D&D - worlds were created gods fell from power, and how they believed that good would always win over evil. Then came girls, and so they extended their belief to "the hero always gets the girl"...then it went through the funny 20's. Bad girlfriends. There was one girl who answered the door and said, "i believe in astrology and i am a vegetarian - if you dont like that, this date is over." jay walked away :) (you would have to know jay to know how funny this is). Jon got married to a perfect girl for him (I dare you to find a girl who buys you ship models, spends her vacation back stage at the star trek tours, or who games with you and your friends every saturday- eek). How everyone wondered if jay would find anyone worthwhile. it ended with "but me, i never doubted for a minute. Because, in the end the hero always gets the girl" The entire room was crying.
And I sat next to a girl who will from now on be called my new best friend. She is a crazy world traveler. We made plans to go to Chile and Antarctica next year. i have been trying to get someone to go with me - and it will be the final continent for both of us!! I am so excited.
And deb and jim are going to be married next...
but the best part was that jonny and I were total brats around my mom - and we danced like we were 6 and 8 yrs old again. Just like we used to. And he dipped me, and I realized. my brother would never, ever drop me.
My mom was dancing with her partner blind Mike - he was slapping her ass at one point. Ah yes, the Latimer's are always the inappropriate ones having the best time.
And I thought. My god - I am old: Because I officially love me family totally and completely. We get along, we have our own lives, we are very different (I am certainly the evil seed) - but we are there for each other no matter what. The only constant people in my life are those two.
And I felt so, so lucky.

It also made me realize how serious marriage is. I never think about marriage in that way. I have two ways I see it: one, it's a terrifying mistake based on a romantic impulse or two, why the hell not, yeah, lets run off to Vegas and do it because we still have the same 50% chance as anyone else...oh, and lets do it now before we really get to know each other :). Jay and Gigi got married three times. Justice of the Peace, a Thai wedding (with monks that was incredible) and a big jewish ceremony and party for two hundred. Threes a charm. So maybe that was the idea.

It was the best wedding I have ever been to. Although I must say that the second best wedding I went to was in Seattle - and I didnt even know the people. But the wedding was beautiful. On this farm with a lake. It was so fun and elegant. I loved all the people that were there. And it was with Steve...

I hate weddings usually.
I think they might just make it...
