Sex and the City~words of wisdom

When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less. Than butterflies...


Okay, now it's my turn:
I have come to a realization. Love. You dont get to pick who you fall in love with. Whatever preconception you had growing up, might as well throw it out the window. Rich, good looking, the guy you wanted to be behind the door on the Dating Game board game- aw just forget about it. Who chooses that love for you? God? Your heart? Who knows. But its not something you plan, its not something you choose, you just know. And you cant help it.


Have I met that guy? Not sure. But I do know that I will not let that man pass me by. I will keep my eyes open, my heart open. And to accept anything less, not gonna do it anymore.

Conversations

So I cant sleep right now. As a result, I got to thinking about conversations. My friend Robin and I were talking today about random stuff as usual. And when we talk, we usually end up comparing life to random things. For example- to Monopoly or Uno. We talk of her unhealthy hatred of lotion. Im sure no one else would really get it, but its pretty good stuff, trust me.


So, there are so many types of conversations; good, bad, sad, funny. The other night I was talking to a friend at the bar, we were telling each other just how tired we were. I finally looked at him and said- this is the WORST conversation ever . Eh, it happens, kinda makes me laugh.


I went to a party yesterday, and had many great conversations with some really cool people. Now, I really dont remember all of them, but it was a great time, fun party. Meeting new people, hearing their views on things- profound or mundane, now that is a good time.


And of course those angry conversations. Not such a good time in my book. Drama- really like to avoid it. But sometimes those come up, and they can be a good thing. Not fun, but good.


And then I think about talking to someone who basically knows everything about me, and I pretty much know everything there is to know about him, and every time weak knees. Ahhh, nice Scary, but in a good way.

No worries...was I worried?

Now, I have lived in this fair city for about 3 months, and so very often do I hear this statement- "no worries." I hear it all the time, from friends and co-workers, in person and in e-mails. This is not something I've heard people say a lot before, I guess it hasn't made it to ol Arkansas, yet. And the funny thing about it to me is that I really wasn't worried in the first place. Now, should I have been worried? Was the situation something I should REALLY have been worried about? Does the person saying this to me THINK I'm worried? And invariably I will hear/read this statement a lot in one day, so I notice it more. Makes me feel like I'm in freakin' Jamaica--"no worries mon, do what you gotta do mon." Not that I've actually been to Jamaica, but I've seen 'Cool Runnings,' I pay attention to popular culture. So I feel like I'm in Jamaica, except no pretty beach, no palm trees, no dread locks (okay, not many). Sometime I want to say "Hakuna Matata" back, but that would just reveal what a true nerd I am. Gotta keep that hidden!


Anyway, I will quit griping now.

I just wanna...

...listen to music all night long with someone. Just saw the Red Hot Chile Peppers on SNL, reminded me of being a freshman in college. Listening to music with a cute guy; talking about Greenday, RHCP, Soundgarden- great bands back then. That was the most fun, greatest time. I don't seem to have those kind of "times" with guys anymore. Whatever happened to just sitting, talking about everything, things that you really like, are passionate about. Whatever happened...?

My morning

I slept through my alarm clock the second time in two weeks; which made me late for work... WHAT IN THE WORLD! I mean, I have one of those fancy, Sharper Image alarm clocks, and it doesn't wake me up!!! Guess I'll go to CVS tonight and get a new one.


So, I head off to work, 15 minutes after I'm supposed to be there. And for those of you who don't know, I have a lovely walk to work. I walk past the Capitol, Supreme Court, it's just very pleasant. Well, not this morning. I was just so mad at myself for being late, fuming when I can't do anything about it. Well, as I'm walking, a dog decides to take a poop on the sidewalk. Right in the middle of it! (Senate side for you Hill people). Right as I was walking by. So I'm thinking "is this really going to be ONE OF THOSE DAYS?" The owner just said "when you gotta go, you gotta go!" I look at this black labs face, and it looks back as if to say "I'm cute, its totally fine I'm taking a big ol dump on the side walk, really lady, you should get over it." I swear, I busted out laughing!


So that put me in a better mood (as weird as that sounds). So I'm walking along, and I see a gaggle of tourists riding on Segways. Black and pink Segways. Now normally I see these people, and I think "how pathetic." Can't you just walk? Is it that hard?" I mean really, to be seen on one of those is just on the crazy side of embarassing. I also think about The Jetsons, but that's another thing. So today I thought, well that is actually a very smart mode of transportation, especially for tourists. Walking around this place can be exhausting. Kudos to whoever came up with this ingenius idea for people touring our Nations Capital!


So weird, this mood I'm in this morning...
