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
"Smile and grin at the change all around" ~

Sorry it took so long! i have been miserable that last two nights and by the time i could sit down to update i just wanted to shower and go to bed.

Thursday, Jian left us to go back to San Angelo for a while and i miss him. We toom him out to happy hour at Don Pablo's after work and drank some Margaritas and had some Mexican food for our last dinner together.

Friday, i had a headache, so Angel and i chilled out in bed. That's all. We wrestled and played and talked and cuddled and skipped dinner to just be alone for the first time in forever, it seems. It was really very nice. No sex, rushed and quiet, just time to be together and be ourselves with no expectations.

Saturday, we both worked so we missed Toaster Boy's graduation, but as soon as we got off work, we met Mom, Dad, Brat, KC, and Toast at On The Boarder for his victory dinner. We ran into Sean, our favorite waiter from Denny's there, too! After that we chilled at Mom's for a few and came home exhausted and i had a miserable headache AGAIN.

Sunday was work again and i started this entry when i got off an hour early. Then Angel came home and i jumped him. After that, we went to get some food and couldn't find the place we were looking for so we stumbled into Golden Corral at 8pm and got some food. We ran on home feeling the slight uneasiness that has always followed visiting that establishment and planned the next two days as we unwound.

Today we worked and rushed home to do . . . nothing. i am sick of sitting at home and played online last night so that i would have an idea of where i wanted to go. i hurried one grumpy man out of the apartment and called the driver's seat for myself and we tried out the other Ton's Mongolian Grill that we hadn't known about before. After eating i drove us around aimlessly and stopped at a posh furniture gallery (you KNOW it's expensive when it stops being a 'store', bypasses 'shop' & 'shoppe' and goes right to 'gallery'). It was an amusing adventure with a rabidly Nermal-CUTE sales lady with the CUTEst attitude and manner. She exuded CUTE in a way that few have ever ever dreamed of. We had fun hunting the hunter with her around the store. She popped up a few timed to CUTEly yell, "S M I L E !" and disappear She only got us twice and we escaped!

Then we drove some more while talking and ended up in Ghetto Prairie at the Sally Beauty Supply Trading the purple N'Rage for some N'Tense Blue for Angel and some blue-black for me. We also saw a gallon of wild cherry smelling shampoo on sale for $4.99 and re-moisturizing conditioner for $5.99 so we stocked up on that and got some caps for roasting Angel's head and some gloves for me. Finally, Angel picked up a new hairdryer for his dye and we got out so we could run home and dye . . .

i HAVE BLUE HAIR!!

After the dying, we shaved each other's heads and showered and scrubbed the drip spots, cleaned up the bathroom and now i am here, finishing up so i can go to bed with my new dark denim blue hair . . . oh, yeah, and my beloved, too!

He is so adorable with his bright blue hair! he has the sweetest little blue halo fanned about his head right now! Damn, i am so glad i am in love with such a great guy. For so long i was tied to someone who didn't like me; he never accepted anything i was. i tried for too long to be what some one else wanted and i now just be me. Me. i AM MEEE! MEEEEEEEEE! It's so wonderfully exciting and refreshing to have and be what i have always wanted.

Nothing compares to being me right now.



"Bargain" ~ The Who
"i'd gladly lose me to find you
i'd gladly give up all i had
to find you i'd suffer anything and be glad

i'd pay any price just to get you
i'd work all my life and i will
to win you i'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

i'd call that a bargain
the best i ever had
the best i ever had

i'd gladly lose me to find you
i'd gladly give up all i got
to catch you i'm gonna run and never stop

i'd pay any price just to win you
surrender my good life for bad
to find you i'm gonna drown an unsung man

i'd call that a bargain
the best i ever had
the best i ever had

i sit looking 'round
i look at my face inm the mirror
i know i'm worth nothing without you
and like one and one don't make two
one and one make one
and i'm looking for that free ride to me
i'm looking for you

i'd gladly lose me to find you
i'd gladly give up all i got
to catch you i'm gonna run and never stop
i'd pay any price just to win you
surrender my good life for bad
to find you i'm gonna drown an unsung man

i'd call that a bargain
the best i ever had
the best i ever had
