There's
something so incredibly liberating about a fresh new haircut. That is, until
you realize for the umpteenth time in your life that w/o being able to spend an
hour blow-drying it one section at a time, it will be next to impossible to
duplicate that just-left-the-salon look until it grows out just a bit. Or that
with summer pending and the humidity it brings, you won't be able to do
anything with it anyway until fall. So you spend some time blow-drying it,
thinking about the fact that it will take at least a week to make it look
normal and throw some goop in it before racing off to work. As always, I'm
looking forward to my appt tonight. I think the past 2 weeks have been
interesting, to say the least. When I was there last, prior to dashing off to meet
people at DelMonico's (I'm still amazed, btw, that I
had such an incredible meal at a steak house of all places) I had pretty much
decided to wipe my hands clean of the two men most often on my mind lately.
Since then... well. M started out fairly charming late in the week, moved into
weird-mode and by this past Friday was a full-on asshole. Okay, who pulls that
shit? Acting in front of your friends like this girl playing darts is just
someone you've seen at the bar, then taking off with nothing more than a "seeya?!" Granted, I've never had any hopes or
expectations from him to begin with, but I'm sorry, that is not how you treat
someone you've been sleeping with, especially not if you wish to maintain any
sort of friendship. Gee whiz. And to think I thought it was so cute that my
birthday card had been purchased well in advance of the event itself. Oh well!
And since I last heard from Ben we tried calling him a couple times, Steph called once and I called once, just to see if it
might be possible to firm up these Marty/Phish plans
sometime soon... that's gonna be one hell of a long
drive but I'll start getting excited as soon as I know for sure what's really
going to happen... and I've been invited (by Molly) to assist with the whole
moving to CO thing but I just don't think it will work out with my vacation
schedule/Marty/Phish, and as much as I would love to
drive to Colorado (so much that I'm practically drooling at the thought) I
simply don't have the money and the timing is so far off with my other plans
for that week... ugh. So until hear from Ben I really don't know what
7.30/8.1-4 are going to look like for me, but I've invited Steev
to by my backup date for Phish although at this point
I'm more inclined to try to sell those tickets and put the $300 toward
something else. Like paying off some of my bills!
