well, after posting my rant on my stinky friend (am i a bitch or what?) I decided to invite her to go x-mas shopping with me this saturday. and she...to my surprise, actually said "yes". i do like hanging out with her. and she and i do have this taurus connection (taurus is her sun sign;my moon sign), where we are both into creature comforts...food, cute clothes, decorating, etc... as she has said before of our freindship, michelle is my girlie-girlfriend.
been kinda torn about going to see the cowboys play in shreveport. i know several people who are going down, and i know that we could stay with them in their room if we needed to. but i just cannot get excited about it. besides we are already into basketball season (my fav) and i would rather go on a trip to watch the cowboys play b-ball anyday!! so we probably won't go. besides i've been there...pretty nasty town if you ask me. how they ended up with an arena to host a bowl game is besides me!
i have to make a comment about something that an acquaintance posted on my myspace page. i LOVE christmas! i am a winter person anyway and can do completely without summer in general. now...i know that the holiday has been commercialized, and that some choose not to celebrate it for that reason. i undersatnd and respect their p.o.v. but that is not what it is ALL about. there are the smells; ginger, cinnamon, cookies baking, pine trees, and eggnog. there are the family gatherings, parties, and general revelry. and of course...the gifts. and one does not have to go overboard. we can't and don't. lee and i spend what we can. we don't charge our christmas to credit cards and don't spend our bill money on trying to keep up with the standards set by others. however, some people cannot help pointing out their discord to others where the holiday is concerned.
this acquaintance is, and as long as i have known her, the most clinically depressed person i know. she is a song writer and is the front person of a local band where she gets to rant and whine about all the injustices in her small little world. and i will say that even though we have differing points of view, she is interesting to hang-out with, being highly intelligent. so she is a "friend" on my myspace group therefore when i send out messages, she gets one. i sent out, a few days ago, one of those stupid questionaires about christmas. i acknowledge that they are ridiculous, but from time to time i will repost one for the fun of it. as i said, i love christmas and love spreading the holiday cheer. some may read it; most people just ignore it. she, on the other hand, replies in a very shitty way. "i hate xmas...but hey knock yourself out." as if i expected her to like ANYTHING! so i replied that i would be taking her off my xmas card list.
why do cynical people feel the need to bring the rest of the world down to their level? this chick's music is pretty much nothing but that. "i'm right and you are all idiots because you don't see the world from my superior p.o.v." no wonder she hasn't succeeded in the music business, despite nearly 3 decades of trying. her music is condescending. i go to watch their drummer. he's my friend and is ackowledged to be THE best drummer in tulsa. it is a blast to watch him play. he's got that ringo head bob-thing going on, and is just incredible. he can do amazing things on his drum kit.
well, tonight we got finalize the last detail on the contract for deed to buy this house. this has been a nighmare, and with luck and prayers, it will be over next week. lee and i will be the owners of this house. hurray!!! finally!!! we have been working on this for a year now! and we are SO close to this being over! then it is off to watch devan play b-ball! this is his first game-ever and we are SO proud of him!
