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

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
ooch ooch ouch!

i was supposed to be in San Angelo by now. i was the one who promised to drive out there and pick up the most wonderful Jian. But i was grumpy and sore this morning after feeling crappy last night and my darling sweet manly figure took that to mean that i didn't need to go and he left without me. i was grumpy and sore because i wanted to get up early but not at 6:30 AM when his alarm went off!

Oh, well. i had wanted to meet Rev while i was out there and maybe even drink a REAL margarita with her this time over some lunch, but i guess i'll have to go another time. Damn!

So, here i am with the unruly girl-child and a messy apartment and the energy to deal with neither of them as my back is killing me and i still feel shaky and abused after yesterday's caffeine OD.

Even my skin hurts today. i would go take a shower but i don't know where i should take it to and what if the place i take it to doesn't welcome showers? What if they kick my shower out and i get to stay? Would it be rude to blow off my shower and leave it standing outside the window, all sad and shit? Now i feel guilty for even considering it.

i think i want to try to get in touch with The Near Miss and finally meet her like i have wanted to for so long.
