    I was going to the Phillipines (?) with Dee. Plane had stadium
    seating. Dee went into the restroom & stayed there for the whole
    flight. I had a motorcycle that I folded up and put in the overhead
    bin. Flying in over the island, there was a resort that was all lit
    up like Vegas. When we landed, Dee had a bag of patterns in the bin
    that had gotten all scattered out so I helped her gather up her
    patterns & carried her stuff since she was feeling so sick.

    We landed & went into the airport, lots of duty free shopping, lots
    of people saying that they had the best price.

    British lady would go to the same store in every duty free shop, buy
    all the medium-sized orange shirts and have them shipped home. The
    salesperson asked if she wanted any matching sweaters or cold weather
    stuff, and the lady was all confused like she'd forgotten about
    seasons, didn't know when she'd be home again to wear her clothes.

    Art gallery had manta rays in 'threat display' and human figures
    facing them, all hanging from the ceiling. Something about how the
    people of the islands hadn't resisted the European conquerors because
    they were supposed to be incarnations of the sacred rays.

    The people on this island didn't like white china with blue painting,
    because that is how they painted their dead. Saw death masks in the
    art gallery too.

    Gee, I'm dense
    You know...there should be cards for things, like they had in
    Victorian days. No phone, so you'd hike your ass over to Lord
    Hoitytoity's house and give your card to a servant and then the
    servant would take your card upstairs to Lady Hoitytoity, and she'd
    either decide she was receiving you or she wasn't, and would instruct
    the servant on how to deal with you.

    Or you'd see some lovely person at the opera or wherever and get an
    introduction from a mutual acquaintance, and s/he'd give you a card
    that says "The Blimey Family receives new acquaintances from 3 to 5
    on Thursdays" and you'd then know when it would be cool to come by.

    So...they need to make cards that say "I've dumped you from my circle
    of friends, kindly fuck off now, please"

    That would save me an awful lot of time and bother, I think.

    I guess I'm a bad friend, but I just realized the other day that a
    friend I've had my entire life didn't invite me to her son's birthday
    party last month or tell me about her daughter's birthday festivities
    this month...so I think I've been dumped. Not like her to miss the
    chance to have someone give her children presents, so I must really
    be on the Bad List now. And, you know what? I just really find myself
    having a hard time caring. If you've known me all your fucking life
    and you don't have the sack to let me know that you're 'cutting me
    dead'...that pretty much speaks for the entire nature of the
    friendship as it currently stands.

    Nice load off my shoulders. Thanks.

    But it would have been nice to actually be TOLD rather than just kind
    of gradually sluffed away...

    The temptation, of course, is to take it all on myself; to rail and
    beat myself up and tell myself what an awful person I am, that I
    don't deserve any friends, that Of Course my oldest friend couldn't
    stand me anymore, and Who Could, because I'm Just so Awful...but I'm
    done with that.
    ==========================================

    I can't really think of anything specific I've done to piss her
    off...but maybe she is reading my dland and seeing that I'm really
    not into kids and thinking that means I don't like her kids, or ??? I
    dunno. I don't care. I can't waste my life second guessing every
    goddamn thing anyone says or doesn't say, does or doesn't do...

    People have the responsibility to meet one another halfway, andI'm
    tired of building the whole bridge by myself only to have it
    torpedoed by the other person...or to find them not standing there
    when I'm done building & walking across...

    So, I'm done. If she has something to say, she can fuckin' say it. Or
    not.

    I guess my main 'fault' is that I'm just too independent. I could
    have tried to make plans with people this weekend, but I just didn't
    want to waste my time calling everyone to get someone to go with me,
    when I just wanted to *go*. And emailing invites doesn't get much
    response atall...so there's no reason to keep beating my head up
    against that brick wall.

    Why It's Time To Kick Iraq's Butt: A Special Report By
    Frankie Truman In Saudi Arabia


    Hello readers, and greetings from Saudi Arabia, land
    of the famous 'Knights of the Round Table', and home
    of the Taj Mahal and hot, spicy curry!

    I'm Frankie Truman and now that the hog racing season
    has ended, WXTT-N Dallas has sent me to the Far East
    once again to cover the Iraq crisis for
    our listeners and readers back home.

    So "What's the deal?" I hear you say. Let's go through
    it one step at a time with the Frankie Truman Primer
    on Iraq, Saddam and why now is the time for
    America to kick some butt.

    ----

    Where is Iraq?

    Iraq is a mountainous region of the Peruvian empire, a
    land which was famous for its spices and dairy produce
    before it was invaded by Saddam and his evil,
    Communist regime.


    Who or what is Saddam Hussein?

    Good question. Saddam Hussein is the King of Iraq and
    Jordan, in much the same way that George W. Bush is
    the President of the United States. But unlike our
    President, Saddam came to power on the back of a
    rigged election, has amassed a personal fortune from
    oil while many of his people live in poverty, and
    gives the best jobs in his government to his friends
    and family. So he is nothing at all like our own
    President.

    Iraq heads the Axis of Evil, a special group of
    countries that also includes Vietnam, the Soviet
    Union, The Peoples Republic of Australia and of course

    Belgium.

    King Saddam Hussein is also a secret member of the
    International Taliban Society of Terrorists. As
    Secretary of State Colin Powell has shown, this
    organization has plotted many acts of terror against
    the United States such as 9/11, the African Embassy
    bombings, the sinking of the Titanic and the
    so-called 'Kyoto Treaty'. There can be no doubt that
    these people are evil. How much proof do you need?

    What weapons does Saddam have?

    Right now we don't know what weapons Saddam Hussein
    has. What we do know is that he has to disarm them,
    whatever they are. Only then will we be safe, because
    only then will we know what weapons he has! And they
    will be disarmed! See?

    OK. Why is England supporting us?

    I don't know the answer to that, my friend. What I do
    know is that the English President, Richard Blair, is
    one helluva guy for standing alongside the United
    States. I think when this is all over, President Bush
    should promote him and give him a job that carries
    some real responsibility, for example, being mayor of
    one of our smaller cities such as Minneapolis. He
    sure deserves it. Go Richard Blair!!


    How will war affect the Arab-Israeli situation?

    The Arab-Israelis, a fine, peace-loving people, are
    behind us 100 percent on this and I salute them for
    that. I hope the US gives Arab-Israel whatever
    they want after the war.


    What is anthrax?

    Anthrax is a highly contagious poison that attacks
    humans. It has a variety of symptoms, the most serious
    of which is death.

    Just one spoonful of anthrax, when detonated, can kill
    hundreds of thousands of people. Now ask yourself, how
    many spoons could Saddam be hiding in that vast
    country of his? That ought to tell you the scale of
    the problem we face here. Not only that, there are
    reports that Saddam is trying to combine anthrax with
    nuclear bombs, to produce nuclear anthrax - a deadly
    cocktail more lethal than anything we've seen before.
    He must be stopped.


    Should we listen to opposition from France and
    Germany?

    No.


    Why not?

    France and Germany can object to the war if they want.
    But they better not come crying to the USA the next
    time they get taken over by the Nazis, know what I'm
    saying?

    As President Bush says, France and Germany are what we
    call 'Old Europe'. Some readers may not know this, but
    Old Europe is the dark, impoverished region that
    inspired Jacques Cousteau to write 'The Lord of the
    Rings.' It's a fact that most of the people in these
    countries live in primitive, wooden huts and don't
    understand the complexities of modern life. It's no
    surprise these guys don't agree with us! They do,
    however, possess dangerous weapons such as arrows and
    giant catapults which are usually stored in fortified
    castles.

    That's why I now believe that France and Germany
    should also be forced to disarm along with Iraq. These
    rogue nations are clearly posing a threat to
    world peace through their opposition to the war.

    ----

    Well, I hope you guys found that little 'fact file'
    useful. I'm gonna be stationed here with the boys from
    the 104th Infantry for a while and I'll be
    filing another report soon, so stay tuned!

    This has been Frankie Truman for urbanreflex.com and
    WXTT-N Dallas!

    Me to J-Law:(I deleted the email I sent x before copying it here)
    -----------------------------

    I'm such a beeyotch.

    I emailed X to ask if she was coming to poly dinner
    on Wednesday, and mentioned the reference call. I told
    her I was rude to the lady at first because I thought
    she was calling from one of the organizations that is
    always hounding us for donations :P

    Hopefully that will make her sweat a little...

    "Champagne for real friends, real pain for sham
    friends"

    ------------------
    To: me
    Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 11:56:55 -0600
    Subject: Re: Wednesday?
    From: X

    I am not sure about Wednesday, I kinda don't think so. [daughter] is
    celebrating her 13ness with her first homegrown show at The Back Room.
    The show starts at 9pm, and she has a couple of friends that are going
    with us and staying the night and I have to get all of them up and
    ready for school the next morning. Whew! Don't know how this will all
    play out, but she is very jazzed. We'd love it if you would like to
    come too. We are leaving after the first act at the earliest or maybe
    for a couple of songs from the second act. It depends how long the
    change overs are.

    Want to make sure girls get 5-6 hours of sleep.

    I'm sorry that I didn't warn you about using you as a reference. I am
    job hunting. M has still made no money and we are destitute.
    Really, calling on food stamps today. So I have to get a full time
    job asap, so be expecting more calls. And thank you.

    If you are free this evening I am making spaghetti to celebrate
    03/03/03 and 'Sica's bday, I talk about it all the time, but things
    have been so hectic that I never got around to invites. I expect food
    to be ready no later than 6pm, party wrapped by 8:30/9 pm at the
    latest.

    love ya-
    X

    1252more feh/1card reading

 

    Mar. 3, 2003

    It occurred to me that she probably only invited me as a way to get
    me to bankroll the teenagers' night out.

    poop.

    Artists Inner vision, 1 card reading for what to do with X gave me
    The Fool. http://www.psymon.com/tarot/00-fool.html:

    The Fool is an innocent, bound on a journey he knows not where, with
    only the conviction that with optimism the greater good will prevail.
    The Fool has faith in himself to bring him through new experiences,
    as we must have faith in ourselves, knowing our hearts lead the way
    and where good intentions prevail, the correct path will become
    apparent.

    The Fool has little baggage, little preparation and his only muses
    are the little butterfly people who follow him, representing
    transformation and change, as well as his instincts for survival that
    will help him make his way through the weary world. He is a free
    spirit, an unformed personality ready to take on anything, climbing
    towards spiritual enlightenment.

    The Fool is on a journey, an adventure. He represents new and
    possibly unexpected changes in one's life to a new and uncharted
    territory. This territory may not be a physical change in location;
    it can be a new creative path, a new field of study or a new business
    opportunity. This change may be an adventure of some type that has a
    beginning and end, or it may be the kind of change that affects an
    entire lifestyle, but as in all changes it involves risk.

    The Fool can also represent foolish idealism, impulsive behavior, or
    extravagant and foolish choices.

    The character Forrest Gump, in the movie of the same name, epitomizes
    The Fool at his best, carrying with him an innocence and confidence
    in himself that helps him overcome some of the most difficult
    situations that life offers him. The movie shows Forrest's many
    adventures that parallel United States' own evolution and growth from
    the innocence of the 50's, to the time of freedom and exploration of
    the 60's, to the time of crisis and change of the 70's.
