Who're You?

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome xydexx to my humble home. Well, more specifically, my LiveJournal. He (Omar's a guy's name, right?) seems to be a friend of Ms. Vixen, and has randomly added me for yet undisclosed reasons. Which is odd, because I don't really expect that anyone over on her Journal would like me very much. *embarrassed*

Anyways, he (you know, Omar Goodie used to host a show I watched as a kid) seems like a wild and crazy enough sort to merit adding to my friends list. So I think I will.

I would further like to apologize to him and everyone else (since you obviously all read this, or else you wouldn't be, uhm, reading this), as it seems I haven't been posting anything of value for the last few weeks. Maybe I underestimate my clever-ness, but yeah, I've been feeling really burnt out and stressed these last few minutes, and I have reason to believe that it's been on-going for longer than that. I just can't seem to remember for sure...

But yes, one I get some time off, relax, get a tan, write my novel, re-tool my car, cure cancer and solve pi, I promise I'll write something meaningful.

Yeah, I've got to get out of this office...

Well, it smells like Clorox, but it tastes like Junior Prom...

So, right, another little update today, and in two parts.

The first part is on Anastasiya, who I chatted with this afternoon. She's been having some difficulties with her dad being petty and passive-aggressive and treating her like a child, and she confessed to being petty and passive-aggressive, and acting like a child in retaliation. We kind of got in an argument when I pointed out (harsher than I'd intended) that she can't solve anything by sinking to his methods and proving him right. I really didn't mean to upset her; she's a dear friend and I care for her deeply. But I also believe that a good friend doesn't simply accept and encourage just any behavior their friend chooses. If I disagree with you on a point, I will let you know, and I will argue (sometimes heatedly) with my friends. But that doesn't mean I think any less of you for it. I disagree with most of my friends on many subjects; I'd be pretty lonely if I thought less of them all just because I think they're wrong on this or that.

The second is on Jason, who I saw at a Staged Reading he invited me to tonight. I'm really glad I went, because it was a lot of fun, though the subject material (a play, it seems, entitled Sexual Perversion in Chicago) turned me off a bit. All in all it was a bit rougher and more crude than my tastes run, but it had some really hilarious lines. Anyways, I was really impressed with Jason's bit, and the performance as a whole especially, and after the fact he and I walked back to the Metro and chatted. It was really cool; he and I need to hang out more, cause it's great every time we do.

And that, as they say, is that. For now, a glass of Water, a little Salem's Lot, wash my face, and then to bed. Work in the morning (*groan*), but I get to take a trip down to the Virginia Office, so I'll get out a bit -- fresh air and sunshine. I think I'll drive with the windows down...
