i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

Have you ever met some one who was just the most perfect person in the whole of the world and have a whirl-wind courtship only to me miserable with them in less that a year and relieved when it's over? Have you ever been totally disillusioned by some one you really cared about and loved? Have you ever walked in at just the wrong time or stumbled on to something you'd never suspected that shocked and almost killed you?

i think people should come with warning labels. i think there should be some REAL 'truth in advertising' in the whole damn dating scene. You meet and hmmm . . . maybe at the first hug . . . `cause that's where the danger lies. It would be really helpful.

It could come to you in a flash of data like

"Just here to dance. Fear of commitment. Possessive. Insecure. Chronic depressive."
~ OR ~
"Just here for sex but can use a girlfriend with money. Has no car, job, or motivation to get either. Loves anal sex. Never goes down. History of stalking. Lies constantly."

it'd really be appreciated, i'm sure, by so many people!

Yesterday was weird. i was out late Friday night and was feeling pretty ill by the time i got home at 2:30 am, i took a shower and crawled into the nice soft bed. And slept straight through to 1:30pm when i got up for 2 whole minutes and fell, exhausted, back into bed and went back to sleep. My alarms went off and i never flinched. i didn't get out of bed again until 5 p.m. i have not been in bed before 2 am at all this week with the one exception of Thursday with 11 p.m. and i was beat, i guess.

So, i missed one affair altogether (i just not checked my e-mail and got my reminder) and i got up and showered & dressed quickly as i was going to be late for another. My friend, Christine, who recently separated from her husband of 21 years, wanted me to go out with her to 'her place' and i agreed if she would go to 'mine' on the weekend after next. So i went to Joe's Big Bamboo (try not to pity me ~ i really did have fun!) and drank a lot and danced a LOT. i had a large Dos Equis at Tia's and at least 6 of the Mike's hard Lemonade and a shot of 121 rum and she forced me to dance from 11pm through 2am and there was this nice gentleman named Tyrone who was thrilled to be our partner. All night. And he had ideas of what he would like to do after 2 but we explained to him in may ways and many times that we were not interested and we just wanted to dance. He was still trying when he walked us to the truck but i ducked well since he was drunk and i was not and told him happy birthday (it's today from what he said) and that we had a great time (we did). Then i filed his pager number in the ashtray and we stopped at the theatre where Rocky Horror was at (same mall, next building over, actually!) to say hi and pee. After we said hello and stuff, we ran away to Jack in the Box on the way to drop her off and then i went home, showered, and fell into bed at 3 until 6:30 when i had to get up and go to work.

Now, here i am at work, tired, sore, happy with my vague headache from all the smoke and small amount of sleep . . . Christine was so wild ~ she never stopped at the table more than 30 seconds and spent most of her time on the platforms! And i had fun and actually danced in public, don't fall over! i was not even drunk when i did it! (this has always been a prerequisite before ~ drunk and crowded) It's just so hard to get up and dance when you are so used to watching people and you see them all out there looking so stupid . . . hehehee! But they WERE having fun, so i figured 'You only live once!' . . . no, wait, that's what she kept yelling at me as she dragged me on the floor . . . i almost took the chair with me but i knew that would just look dumb and she was strong so i finally let go of it since she was winning. Yeah, i'm a wimp!

So what if this is a musically driven entry, i love music!
i want to know what you think of the whole human warning labels idea and yes, i understand it's impossible, i just think it'd be great IF we could do it!
