Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

This is how the 2008 has gone down so far:

January

Got serious with Max.
Got on birth control pills for the first time in my 30 years of living.
Ended my friendship with best friend because of a moment of SEVERE disrespect.
Aris moved to Seattle
Battling a cold from holidays in Los Angeles.
Gym = rare because of a cold that never ends.
Work is not stressful.

Scale of one to four stars, * = lame, ****=awesome

Had a great v-day with Max.
Got off of birth control pills.
Max fixed my condo’s wireless and cleaned up my computer.
Became friends again with Bri (this time a bit wiser about her.)
My family in Texas had one of their BIGGEST family emergencies EVER.
Fought with Max and ended it.
Work became stressful towards the tail end of the month.
Slowly started ramping up my frequency to the gym.

March

Went to Texas for work but didn’t get to see my family.

Situation in Texas with family is still difficult, but not a total cluster f*ck.
Miss Aris.
Became friends with Max and discovered this is much better!
Got massage from old ex-bf and it was hot. But nothing happened. Which was good, in the end (but not quite in the end… lol).
Totally sexually frustrated.
Work is CRAZY busy.
Partied at last Drum and Bass monthly at Five w/ Roz.
Got a perm. VIP pass to Buzz@ Fur.
Friends with old Ex-bf and ex best friend John, now planning ons eeing Duran Duran and potentially going to Starscape w/ him! (finally a friend who enjoys electronica and partying!)

Every now and then one of my friends will do something that makes me very happy. He or she or zhe will remind me that I DO have a lot of good friends who care and don’t expect anything in return. I hate all this tit-for-tatting quid-pro-quo shit that I"ve seen to come across recently.

Anyways, my friend Aris is ever so lovely. I thought I would lose touch with him because he’s in Seattle but he and I have been in touch almost daily. He reads my blogs, asks about my life, and has good advice that he doles out without judgement! I know that he cares and that distance will not separate us as friends.

When I stopped drinking altogether it became very apparent to me who my friends are!

I raise my glass to all of my wonderful friends ;0)

My life currently consists of the following:

• working out
• crossing off movies and getting through my Netflix Queue
• lusting over James McAvoy
• reading completely random books
• trying to keep up with the 4 different weekly news subscriptions I got when I needed to do something with my freq flyer miles
• trying to figure out what to do with my growing list of ex boyfriends… do I really need to have them as friends? Fuckin’ Max. He’s the only one that’s really getting on my nerves.
• Finding excuses not to do my taxes
• Figuring out who my friends are (it’s a shrinking list)
• Figuring out who *I* am
• Working out

This man, especially his character (looks, dress, personality, depth, looks, looks, looks…) in Atonement.

Merrrrrrow!

His physical appearance AND the character, Robbie, that he portrays in Atonement, reinforces the kind of guy that I could go to jail for:

• Thick, dark brown, wavy hair
• Bright, Blue eyes
• pale face
• euro-UK-centric
• Tight, athletic
• emotional, deep, loving, strong-willed, passionate, intelligent, confused

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh… if only they made more men like him. *swoon*
