dinosaur

melinda gave me a pep talk today about telling people when they've hurt my feelings. she has a good point. and appreciate her concern. i will try to do this. i'll do it in stride. starting with knickers. next time she comments on the dark circles under my eyes i'll try to delicately say to her "you know, that's actually just my face. i'm not just tired, i forgot to apply my concealer today and i'm really self-conscienous about it." i guess people do have a right to know when they've said or done something inappropriate. i know she doesn't mean to hurt my feelings.

i've been thinking lately about how very few of my friends have known me longer than a year. many of my friends i met in early 2005, but most i met just last fall. melinda, jay and the butler's are the only people who've known me for over a decade (well obviously there are other people in the WORLD, but i'm thinking primarily of people who visit pspd). its kind of a surreal experience. part of me feels like to you, my life just started a year ago, much like how i find it hard imagining your lives before me. trippy.

oh my goodness, i had a stressful day at work today. i swear, if i had a heart condition i would have had a heart attack. frig. i didn't get out of there until 5:30. i was ready to pull out my hair, vomit and i was screaming out "kill me now". ok, well i wasn't screaming, but i did SAY that to frank.

my feet feel wet. oh wait, i think they're just cold. i think wet sox has come up more often on pspd than any other topic. peculiar.

man, my stomach is STILL in knots. it sure takes me a while to unwind. i'm gonna get ready for bed.

i'm not broke but you can see the cracks.
you can make me perfect again.

does it make you feel transient that most of your friends are new? I feel like that sometimes.... people can be so important, but you never know who's going to be there for the next milestone. I mean sometimes you know, but often you're wrong. you know?

it mostly trips me out. i know this will sound odd, but if no one else experienced something with me, does that mean it didn't happen? it makes me feel like "whoa".

but ya, it will be interesting to see who'll be around for the long haul. from past experience (which did actually happen), i've discovered i'm often surprised at the relationships that last and the ones that don't. so we'll see.
