A bunch of random shit again :)

I got home a little while ago, and I’m able to type at home because I just picked up my computer tonight. Best Buy called me today and reported that they couldn’t find anything wrong with the hard drive. Stupid fucking computer – it dies and crashes and definitely is a lemon, but when I take it in, it acts all innocent and angelic and works perfectly for them. At least the guy helping me tonight believes me that something’s up, because he was showing me how to run the check for myself and he saw how incredibly long the system takes to boot up and to even open anything up. And I don’t care if the computer can somehow understand what I’m saying here about it – it’s a fucking loser-ass, nearly worthless, lemon computer!!!!

So, I’ve been busy this week. I guess it’s obvious since I haven’t written anything here since Monday. And without the computer at home, I couldn’t type when I actually had time. We had a huge case up on Wednesday and I spent all day Tuesday, late into Tuesday night, and half the day on Wednesday working on it, and then the other half of Wednesday was spent watching it. And today I was organizing for next week (since I leave for California tomorrow morning) and spending some time with everyone at work and learning about bankruptcy law from The Meat and I also had a lunch date (more on that later).

And tonight I had so much to do and so I had to skip something that I’d been so looking forward to for the last few weeks – a get-together of girls, put together by Violet, among others. It was going to be a chance for everyone to meet friends of friends and maybe make new friends. And I was so excited about the idea, and I even dressed all cute for it today! But I had to go shopping for something to wear to the wedding, and I had to drop off my key to The German so he can take care of James and Emmalove for me, and I had to go to Walgreens, and I had to pick up my computer. So I hope it went really well so they plan another one really, really soon!

But I did find some clothes! Yay! At Ann Taylor Loft I bought a perfect black sweater, and also a super-cool black pencil skirt with buttons up the front. It isn’t that much but I spent at least an hour at the store because I tried on massive amounts of clothes – you never know what’s going to look good! Then I took the bus to Express and tried on massive amounts of clothes there and ended up getting three pairs of pants (or is it pair of pants?). I love Express semi-dress pants, and they fit me perfect. Except they’re too long. And I want to wear one pair to the wedding, so I’m going to be pinning them up with a bunch of small safety pins. It isn’t my ideal, but the safety pins work pretty well (I’ve used them before – have I mentioned that I’m a procrastinator?).

I have to do some laundry and I’ll take it down in a little bit, but I need a bit of a rest on my couch first, and I’ve been just dying to type! I’m also keeping my eye on the basketball games. I saw that Duke lost to LSU and kick ass – I had that!!!! I’m amazing!!!! :)

So, I had a lunch date today. It was with I believe Guy #2, who I wrote about a couple posts ago. He called on Tuesday night and we chatted for 40 minutes. It wasn’t the best conversation and he talked a lot, but I squeezed in a bunch of questions, too, so I could get all his background. We planned on lunch and I wasn’t too excited about it, mostly because time was of the essence today. But everyone at work convinced me to just go. He was good looking in a way, but has a hard look to his face. I’m not sure how to describe it. The hardness reminds me of some actor but I can’t think for the life of me who it is.

We met downstairs in my building and walked to Marshall Fields and to a restaurant in the basement. He walked too fast and I seriously almost told him to slow his ass down. And he talked a lot. When we sat down I also saw that he moved a lot. He couldn’t just sit still. Oh, and he was a fucking loud talker! I’m sure that the people sitting two booths down from us could hear every word he said. And as to his personality, he was just kind of odd, and not in a good way. I’m really bad with putting my finger on exactly what it is about someone. He talked a lot. And didn’t stop to really listen to me sometimes. He interrupted me a few times. He didn’t ask me many questions. I got the impression also that 1) he isn’t super intelligent, 2) he isn’t that deep, and 3) he’s either a bit on the negative side or something similar. I know I sound like such a bitch. And I also know that I might be wrong about a lot of those things, because this was our first time meeting, and we only had one lunch. But still, these were my first impressions, and even though it sounds bitchy, I'm writing what I felt even as I acknowledge that I may be completely wrong.

So anyway, from all the above, I knew pretty quickly that we weren’t going to be a match. But we managed to talk the whole time, and by the end we were a little more comfortable and had steered the conversation toward some more interesting things. When he dropped me off at my building, he gave me a very weak hug and said it was fun meeting me, and asked if I’d like to go to dinner or a movie sometime. And I said “sure, that would be fun” like an idiot, because I didn’t know what else to say. I mean, he was a nice guy. A bit odd, but nice. So I didn’t want to say no! So we’ll see. I hate saying no and usually just get distant so they get the point. But maybe I should be honest with him in an email. I just don’t know how.

After I got back to the office he emailed me to send me a couple pictures of himself, because I asked him to send me pictures. And he also emailed me tonight to update me on his situation with his apartment that he'd been very bothered by and that we talked about at lunch. So I think I'll send back a very short email so he knows I got his emails and so I'm not rude.

Anyway though, on to more fun things! Last night SP came over for a short time. We knew it would be short so it was incredibly intense. I greeted him at the door wearing only a black button-down shirt, with all the buttons undone. After he undressed, he told me to sit on his face. Then he pushed me back on the couch and told me to suck his cock. And it continued from there. I love when he comes over! And I seriously was so incredibly turned on that I just wanted to eat him alive!

He commented last night that maybe one of these times we’d be able to have a long, languid session as opposed to our hot and intense ones. But he didn’t know if it would be possible – because he seriously turns into an animal when he’s here and couldn’t slow down for anything. And I love that!

Right before he left he turned me around and pulled me into his body, pulled my shirt off one shoulder, moved my hair to the other shoulder, and bit and sucked my lower neck – so hot! He loves doing that and knows I love it equally as much. And he left a mark, which I love, too. I loved going to work today, knowing that just under my shirt I have evidence of our passion!!!!

Then, about ten minutes after SP left, I got a call and it was Guy #3 – the teacher at The Meat’s son’s high school. It was the first time we’d spoken, and we talked for a little over an hour. It was a pretty good conversation overall. I asked a lot of questions, he asked some questions. He talked a lot. But we did manage to touch on some pretty interesting topics. And at the end, we were talking about the NCAA tournament and joking with each other. He’s a big sports guy, so we talked more about sports than I normally would. But I have no problem with it really. As long as it isn't always that way. And some of it might have been because it was our first conversation. And there were a couple almost awkward lulls, which I hate!

He seemed like a really nice guy, although he also seemed a little like a partier. He also is a real guy’s guy and it seems like he has a ton of guy friends, who he refers to always as "my buddy(ies)". I’m not sure if he’s mature enough for me. And I usually like more mature and experienced men. But he was nice, and I can tell he’s a really good person. So we’re going to try to meet up one evening next week. He emailed me pictures of himself this afternoon and he’s cute – little boy cute. He’s 30 but looks like he could be 22. He’s not someone who I’d normally find really attractive, but I’ll see how it is when I meet him. He gave off a good vibe, and he does in his pictures as well. I’m going to try to keep an open mind.

Okay, well that’s the end of the guy update. Oh, I need to give my waking up and getting to work update, before I forget! Monday and Tuesday I did really well and got there at I think 9:30 on Monday and 9:35 on Tuesday. Wednesday was not good. I stayed up until 3 a.m. on Tuesday night reading for that case, and I just couldn’t get up in the morning. Even when my mom called me, I just HAD to lay back down after I hung up with her. So I got there at about 10:45, and that’s with taking a cab, too. And today I got there at 9:40, so that was okay. Tomorrow morning I have to get to the airport at about 8 a.m. It’s going to suck. But I can sleep on the plane. And I’ll be meeting my parents there and we’ll be on the same plane to Sacramento.

I’m getting so fucking tired. Maybe I don’t need to do laundry after all. I wanted to wash my jeans because they’re perfectly tight right after washing but then they stretch out and end up pretty loose later. So they need tightening back up. Maybe I can just get them wet though! I can get in the shower with them on and then dry them as best as I can – since they need to dry by morning! That sounds so much better than going downstairs to the laundry room. All I want to do is close my eyes. But I need to do partial packing tonight or at least lay shit out and make a list.

I have a cute story about a friend and colleague of Florida’s. He reads this so I’ve been thinking for forever about a name for him and it’s just been too hard! Because he’s so silly, and projects such self-confidence even though I don’t think he really is all that confident always. And he’s really funny, and did I mention silly! He’s also a wonderful dad to his two little children, and Florida has told me how adorable they are. Oh and I recently discovered that he’s very metrosexual, which I find just hilarious! And he’s also pretty hot – Wake Forest agrees (and if he wasn't married, I think we'd both be after him) – I know Florida is going to hate me building up his ego here! :)

So anyway, he has so many little facets and little things about him and I couldn’t pick just one or two, so I was at a loss. Until I commented on his very cool bag which subs for the ugly and very boring briefcases that most lawyers carry, and he then spent a few minutes showing Wake Forest and I every pocket and every nook and cranny of it, and I couldn’t stop laughing to myself because he was so silly about it and so proud of his bag, although I admit that it was a super cool bag. But so now I have a name for him, after the brand of his bag, which I think was Ogio, or something very similar. (My internet on my computer isn’t working for some stupid reason. It’s acknowledging that it’s getting a signal from the wireless but is saying that a cable is unplugged. So when I want to post this, I’ll have to move to the floor and plug in the actual cable. And for that reason, I can’t check right now to see whether I’m correct about Ogio being the name. But that’s his name until I see a different spelling!)

Whew! That was a long story for explaining a name! Anyway, my original point – Ogio told Wake Forest and I the cutest story about his son T, who is four years old. T drew a picture in preschool class and when his teacher asked him what it was, he explained it to her and later to Ogio and his wife – it was a picture of Ogio (daddy) going poopy on the toilet! It cracked me up!!!! It doesn’t look that funny when I write it now, but knowing Ogio, it’s hilarious!

The game between Texas and West Virginia is almost over. Less than a minute to go. Texas is up by 3, and they need to keep it that way, dammit! I have them in the final game, so they NEED to win! Oh good, they just made two free throws so they’re up by five. Dammit, 3-pointer by WV. 14 seconds left and now a commercial.

What else? I haven’t written in so long so I know there’s other things. But I’m also well into my fourth page on Microsoft Word. So I’ll end this ridiculously long post. I still haven’t had any alcohol since November 9th! Yay me! And I still think about it sometimes, and think about the feeling of being drunk, and the devil tells me that I could have it just once more, but I know it wouldn’t be once. And I don’t want to go back to that time. And also, I REALLY don’t want to break my streak! In a couple weeks it'll be five whole months!!! That's seriously fucking amazing!!! Considering that I usually drank every day and at the most would go without for just one day or maybe two every once in awhile.

KICK ASS!!!! WV tied it with five seconds to go, and Texas, with that five seconds left, hit a 3!!! I’m still alive in our pool!!!! And Memphis won, which is fabulous!

I’ll be back from California on Monday night, and with tons of pictures! :) So I probably won't be able to write anything until then, except maybe I will on Sunday night, because my mom bought herself a little tiny mini laptop for when she travels, so I'll see.

Have a good weekend! And now that I have my computer back, piece of shit as it is, I can be posting regularly again!

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
