I'm a girl, I write too much. And also there are serious issues of fact!

Today was good because it was busy, at work I mean. And then because The Bold One called me. I was happy to hear from her, cause I'd been missing her. However, I also felt so bad because I hadn't called her and had waited until she called me, even though I had thought of it so often. Even this morning on the bus I was thinking that I couldn't call her at home, cause that would be a pussy move. And I couldn't call her from my work, cause she usually doesn't recognize the number and what if she didn't want to talk to me? So I decided that I could only call her on her cell from my cell. She called me first. I didn't even realize how much I missed her until I heard her voice. Of course, yesterday when I was walking down the street, I thought of her. And the day before. She's never been far from my thoughts. I'm just a scared little pussy-shit and never stepped up to the ball to call her and address the issues. Instead I just hid from it in one way or another.

I went to see The Bold One at 7 tonight for a little while. It was so nice! And her new furniture and decorations look fabulous.

I was supposed to see Warsteiner tonight. He called me at work around 4:30 but I was on with The Bold One so I called him back afterward. I told him I was going to The Bold One's for a bit at 7 pm, and he said he and There's Something About Mary and I think one other friend were going to the bar of a guy who lives in his building. And he invited me and of course I said yes. I said I'd call him on my way to The Bold One's. So I did, and talked to him just before 7 pm. We chatted and he told me to call him when I was leaving, and we agreed that if it was early enough, I'd just go to his place first. I got home at 8 and called him directly, and got voicemail. Then I called MWFB to see if he could go the White Sox-Yankees game with me tomorrow, since Warsteiner can't go and I have an extra ticket that was for him, and also another ticket that's available. MWFB called back and he can't come. I knew he'd love it and also I'd have such fun with him. I then called Florida Girl to see if she and Mr. Asparagus could go. I called their home phone and no answer, so I called her cell and left her a message. I called Warsteiner back a little after 8:30 to ask if he was at the bar and whether I should meet him there, or what was going on. It's 11:23 and I haven't heard back from him. Again, for no apparent reason. No indication earlier that anything was wrong. Whatever. He's not worth it for this kind of behavior. Of course I always first worry that he saw this blog, but how could he? So I'm not even going to stress.

I'm just waiting now to hear from Florida Girl about the game. Otherwise I have to find others who want to go. FireCracker? Violet? Do either of you want to go? Cause if I hear from Florida girl that they aren't going to come, then what about it? It's tomorrow! And a Friday night game. And from 5-7 it's all you can eat and drink at The Patio! Firecracker and Violet, I'll be calling you tomorrow if Florida Girl and Mr. Asparagus can't come - which I haven't heard either way?

I also called French Mix! At about 9:00 tonight. I got voicemail, thank God, but I ended up sounding stupid I think - "Hi French Mix, it's Caterpillar - Little Brother's sister in case you don't remember (my brother calls me a nickname so I didn't know whether he'd recognize it as me.) I was wondering whether you'd like to get together sometime, or go out for drinks. Although I promise not to drink 50 beers like I did at my brother's wedding...." I am such a dork. I should have written out the stupid thing! Anyway, about five minutes ago I got a reply from him, a text message: "At the strip clubs in Denver. Cheers!"

So, I need to respond to that. I'm such a girl, a fucking girl! I say I only want him for a good fuck, but at the same time, I'd really like him to like me. And if he doesn't, then I'll start feeling used even though I'm sort of intending to use him as well. But my stupid romantic mind goes back to the romance novels of old that I used to read, and it would always be some player guy (in Old England or Scotland, of course) who was so hot and yet he was just so intrigued with the heroine that no other girl mattered or could match up. Yes, I have my issues, but damn, I think those romance novels had an effect on my whole outlook! So even though I may be using him, I want him to fall madly in love with me. I don't want to be just another girl to him. Yes, insane. Especially since I just copied his text. And I am so not cool with strip clubs. I'm very jealous! For any future boyfriend or husband out there to know!

So. I need to respond with some fun and cool text message I think. But what? Oh my gosh, I'm having writer's block, partially because I can only say so much. If I could write him an email, I think it would be easier. Then it would just all come out. But with text messages, I have to seriously pick and choose, and not be wordy or explain things, which, hello!, I like to do! BUT, he responded to me!!!! That's right, I just realized that! He didn't ignore me or wait 4 more days to call me.

Okay, here is my dorkness. I wish I had the wit of Dater of All, Mistress of None. Sometimes I'm great with the suggestive emails and IMs. Today, not so much with the text messaging. Which took me about a half hour to type, in two separate messages: "Another bachelor or just fun? I already had my fun tonight! Tomorrow I'm going to sox-yankees & we have an extra ticket or two - let me know soon if you'll be here & want to go - cont...(next message) And, I will also gladly strip & dance before I'll maybe let you fuck me. If you inspire me, that is!"

Oh my gosh, I've even had four beers here at home and even with them I think I just look so dorky and pathetic and needy and desperate in my little messages. Oh well. It's me. I just want him for a fuck anyway. So who cares if he has to wait until later to see my coolness! Even despite my bit of dorkiness, he will want to see me. Although, I just glanced down at my arm while I was typing and it's just huge. Here's today's The Fat Project results:

Thursday, August 18
Food:
Medium espresso cafe latte from Caribou
Lemon yogurt for late lunch
Lemon yogurt for just after late lunch
1 English muffin w/ butter
Alcohol:
6 Leffe Belgian beers
Exercise:
None

Once I get excited about some random hot guy, I suddenly don't want to be in a serious relationship. Of course, when I'm really in a relationship with the guy who I'm meant to be with, I want us to act like it's the random hot guy every once in awhile - and that it's a nasty, dirty hookup! But right now, I'm happy that I'm not in a relationship. Cause I kind of want to play right now!

Update - French Mix replied to my text messages with two of his own: 1) "Speechless", and 2) "Tell me what ur doing 2 ur self right now". He's not a player. Not at all. :) But I don't care, cause he fucks like a porn star!

How I Feel

"I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved."

Quotes That Touch and Inspire Me

♥ I think that the most beautiful women I've ever met are the ones that know who they are, have stories to tell, ideas to share, wisdom to impart and love the skin they're in. No one can love us as we love ourselves. No one can take away our beauty and our dignity when we own those things. To me confident=beautiful. :: CeeCi

♥ I'd been feeling a little blue (for no particular reason) when I began thinking about things like attention, age and body image. Suddenly, it washed over me. I see people looking at me and I see them reacting. I began thinking about the times I notice the attention and realized its the days I'm strutting, the days I'm open and holding my head up. This got me to thinking further. How I perceive myself is what I show to others...People don't realize it, but they show the world everything about themselves in the way they move and act, in the words they say and the way they say them. A little confidence can lead to a lot of confidence. :: CeeCi

♥ When we believe in ourselves the world is an entirely different place and our place in it feels right and happy and healthy. :: CeeCi

♥ Remember that something incredibly wonderful is always possible!

♥ There are moments that are wonderful, if you let them be.

♥ Being distrustful put me in a very lonely place, a place filled with doubt and hypervigilance. I'm grateful I've learned to trust again, because in learning to do it, I learned to trust myself. :: CeeCi

♥ We're all a work in progress. I believe we will be until the day our lives end. Why fight it? I love the changes I experience. Some are certainly easier and more enjoyable than others, yet I wouldn't stop the process for any thing in the world. :: CeeCi

♥ We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss the chance to see a rainbow on the way :: Gloria Gaither

♥ Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed :: Storm Jameson

♥ Love is everything. It is the reason we are here, and the wonder we take with us wherever we go.

♥ Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow :: Mary Anne Radmacher

♥ Just live in the moment, the moment you're in. Don't live two days from now. Don't live two hours in advance. Live now. And appreciate what you have now. Don't go any further. You have this moment. This second. Breathe it. Enjoy it. Live in it. :: Open Eyes

♥ Leap, and the net will appear.

♥ I've learnt that when we express our deepest feelings, even though we may stammer or be unable to find the right words, it always pays. It pays to be authentic.

♥ There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness :: Carl Jung

♥ I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, love is stronger than death :: Robert Fulghum

♥ You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens. :: Ethel Barrymore

♥ Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. :: Carl Jung

♥ I will try to be as honest as I can with myself. That is all that is required of me. I'll keep admitting and opening my hidden box of fears, hurts and insecurities, again and again, until I know each one of them by their first name. :: Anu

♥ It struck me that there is amazing beauty everywhere. Does it matter where you are or who we're encountering? There is magic all around us. The fact that we're alive, the fact that we're living in this place and time. The fact that we've met the people we've met, all of it, every bit of it, only contributes to the wonder that is life. :: CeeCi

♥ No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the starts, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. :: Helen Keller

♥ Half of doing anything is believing that you can.

♥ Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that he can subsequently open the door through which he wants us to go. :: Catherine Marshall

♥ Even if it burns a little low at times, the secret of life is to always keep the flame of hope alive.

♥ The three grand essentials of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.

♥ Some people will say that you are going the wrong way, when it is simply a way of your own.

♥ Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. :: Martha Graham

♥ Life is a series of new beginnings, and in every ordinary moment there are a thousand miracles to behold.

♥ Don't let the approval of others determine your belief in yourself.

♥ When it's all said and done, when all the opinions have been uttered, preached, shouted, and shared, there is only one thing we can do: From this moment on...love.

♥ When you're stuck in a spiral, to change all aspects of the spin you need only to change one thing. :: Christina Baldwin

♥ You have to look for the joy. Look for the light of God that is hitting your life, and you will find sparkles you didn't know were there.

♥ Be the change you wish to see in the world... :: Gandhi

♥ Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

♥ We each have only a limited amount of time here. We have to do more with it - pay attention, explore, be open to all of life. Because we have only one chance, we have to make life seem longer than it really is. :: Viggo Mortensen

♥ Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. :: Cadet Maxim

♥ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!

♥ What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? :: Unknown

♥ To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. :: David Viscott, M.D

♥ Right now it feels like:...no dream will ever remain unfulfilled...no desire will ever remain unanswered...no tear goes unnoticed and no effort wasted...the hills are alive and so are we...each moment is fresh and waiting to happen...and there will be garbage like situations all around...but it is upto us to light mud lamps in it...and glow in our own acceptance and appreciations... :: Anu

♥ I struggle with not feeling like I'm good enough at times. Usually, its because I'm pushing it too hard and have depleted my reserve. Yet, I know without a shadow of a doubt that no matter how heavy or thin, how young or old I appear to others it's what I feel on the inside that glows through. If I could give every person on this planet just one gift it would be the unwavering knowledge that they are beautiful and worthy of every good thing the universe holds. :: CeeCi

♥ It's easier to buy into the negative things we conjure about ourselves than the positive things. Knowing that is the first step towards changing the thoughts that keep us unhappy. With time moving forward, why stay trapped in the past? All we have is right here and right now, I intend to make the most of it! :: CeeCi
