Second verse same as the first

You know, I know that L-girl and I are not dating... we're not joined at the hip, but it still pisses me off when I get dismissed.

Previously I had mentioned that L-girl and I were supposed to hang out on Sunday (yesterday). Well, I called her and left a voicemail on her cellphone. Didn't hear anything.

Later that night I realized "hey, I still haven't heard from L-girl".

So I see her in the office:

L-girl: "Hey"
Me: "Hey. What happened to you yesterday?"
L-girl: "What do you mean?"
Me: (now visibly pissed off) "Uh... we were supposed to get together yesterday. What happened?"
L-girl: "Oh, my daughter was sick and I wasn't feeling too good either".
Me: "You couldn't have picked up the phone and just called to say that? You had to leave me hanging the whole day?"
L-girl: "I didn't even know my daughter was sick until this morning. The baby's father kept calling and I didn't even call HIM back. Do you think I'm lying?"
Me: "Did I SAY you were lying?"
etc., etc....

She knows that I am very sensitive about that situation since it happened to me so often in a previous relationship. It really upset me and I let her know.

Of course, I don't know WHY I'm so upset. Like I said, we're not tied at the hip or anything. The guy that L-girl is dating is out of town right now. I think I'm going to get completely ignored when he comes back.

I look for signs when the same things keep happening over and over, I just can't make any sense as to WHY they keep happening. Do I allow them to occur? Do I somehow encourage them or give them 'space' to happen? I'd be happy to 'fess up if it was me but, at this point, I just don't know.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Ending in "O"

I happened to see two movies today with no apparent link until I noticed that they both ended with the letter “O”. I didn’t plan that. First up, Superman and I went to see “Juno”. Every year around this time Superman makes a flight of fancy to see every picture nominated for Best Picture of the Oscars. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it’s interesting. “Juno” is basically about a 16 year old, high school junior who has gotten herself pregnant. She immediately decides the best thing to do is to give the baby up for adoption. So she and her stereotypical air-headed, cheerleader friend check the ‘Penny Saver’ for a good couple to give the baby to. (yeah, that's where *I'd* go...) So they find a well off couple that lives in a nice neighborhood, with a nice house and nice furniture. Nice, right? Well, Juno falls hook-line-and-sinker for the couple and even feels the need to try and connect with them. I guess, for me, it wasn’t about what was seen in the movie but what ...

The Memory of Lists Past

I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a lot of papers that held some kind of memory for me. Some were newspaper articles, some were funny memos... most were written or drawn by me. I came across the following, entitled "List for 1990": 1. Reorganize your life 2. Evaluate your feelings 3. Take a risk but be smart 4. Take care of #1 (yourself!) 5. Don't do anything you don't want to do 6. Reward risk-taking 7. Don't be afraid 8. Change the way you do things 9. Go somewhere when you get bored, don't just sit around 10. Find out how to take a compliment 11. Generally be more aggressive 12. Don't worry how other people feel 13. Learn to like yourself 14. Have fun! You will note that some things never change. It's most interesting to see what I thought about myself back then. Just thought I'd share...
