Dear Middle School Risa,

I just saw the extended promo for the movie and I was blown away. Just sat and watched it in stunned silence. It's like someone put a tiny video camera in my ear and video taped one of my dreams. I actually had a dream a year or so ago with a creature that looked exactly like one of the Wild Things. It was this creature the size of a small elephant ( Read more... )

One of my best friends from middle and high school, Christian Thomas, was involved in a shoot-out on Sunday. It's been all over the Charlotte news. No one knows why, but apparently very early Sunday morning his father shot his mother, then Chris, then his brother Alan, and then turned the gun on himself. His mother and father were killed, and Chris ( Read more... )

I want to see the VH1's Behind The Music for our band. Especially the parts that deal with substance abuse.

Voiceover: Risa's battle with caffeine addiction spiraled out of control and shook the band to its very core.

Me: I was up to one, two glasses of coke a night...I'd tell myself, I won't drink any tonight, I already had that coffee in the ( Read more... )

Kat and I bought tickets to see Robin Williams when he performs in Durham next month!! I am so excited!!

Hey there LJ. S'been awhile.

Due to excesses of baby mama drama (and what may or may not be a raging Borderline Personality Disorder), I can't even hang out with Ryan anymore, which blows. He gave me a Farfisa vintage organ that he recovered from a friend's house he was cleaning out, and since it was broken and I really had no use for it fixed, I ( Read more... )

I can't figure out if I'm a hypochondriac or a rightfully concerned individual. I bruise easily, especially on my legs, so I think I'm probably anemic, and there's a large, barely visible coloration on my cheek, like a very light freckle the size of a thumbprint, and I don't think it's been there for too long, so I think I probably have skin cancer ( Read more... )

Chris, with relish: "Sunday."

Me: "Sunday?"

Chris: "Sunday."

Me: "What happens Sunday?"

Chris, throwing himself on the couch, goofily happy: "Sunday I'm going to lay around naked aaaaall day, and watch movies. I figure I can get in a good six movies."

Me, after two or three beats: "BAHAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU."

He's been seeing the neighbor girl for a few ( Read more... )

I'll go through stages, in Relationship World, where I feel like I make really good decisions. I'll feel really good about how I handled touchy situations, I'll deal well with breakups, I'll feel as if I've really hit my stride as an adult in the dating world. And then there are other days where I'll feel as if I've behaved as a total moron, and ( Read more... )

So I went on a date tonight. Dinner and a movie. Funny People and Ethiopian to be exact. With the Comedian (I'll call him that until I get tired of the Watchmen reference or until it gets serious enough to give him a first name).

When I got there, the Comedian had a gift for me: a mixed CD I have yet to listen to, but here's the kicker--instead of a ( Read more... )
