Tiny snowflake tears make me want to vomit joy.
That’s close to a pleasant thought I had the other day.
Dear readers, I have missed you. I’m not feeling profound or witty or particularly inspired, but Bryan says the show must go on.
I will give you tidbits of information because I know you enjoy bulleted lists as much as I do:
• I have a partner in instability and to that person I say, stability is soooo passé.
• I’m back to reading Stephen King because he’s very comforting to me. The Dark Tower: the Gunslinger.
• I wear a black toboggan with a snowflake puff on the top both indoors and outdoors these days. Keeps my crazy contained. It’s also cold as fuck.
• I met a guy who was PERFECT for me. Until I said Howdy-do. But then he came back around. I didn’t answer one phone call and he blocked me from texting him. So I’m back to keeping myself occupied with men who are not perfect for me in any way.
• 31 seems like a good age to be. 30 was not. 2009 was not a good year.

* He blocked you? Seriously?
* I’m glad to hear that 31 is a good age. I am not looking forward to it.
* 2009 was bad. Its time the world move on and give us a good year for
once although there are some issues to deal with this year.
* Toboggins are a must at the moment.

jade and paul: 31 looks good no matter! But I’m only 2 days in.
jade: cockblocked I was. (That’s Bryan’s assessment.)

No fucking way! I did NOT miss your birthday! I thought it was on the fifth for chrissake! argh! Well, happy birthday and 31 is better than a suicidal 22 any day.
Now about that list:
Instability is the new sane
Stephen King is all about instability and therefore a King read is just what the doctor ordered. I highly recommend “Four Past Midnight’ and if you watch the movie after, you can lust after an insane writer played by a very hot Johnny Depp.
Love you medicatedlady, missed you gigantically!

Rather than just 22, I would say that for the whole of my twenties, there was some concern I would not make it to the next year.
I don’t advertise my bday, generally speaking, except to say I hate it. I have hated my birthday since I was 10 or 11, too long to remember loving it (if I ever did). Last year, I was seriously worn out, too much dying. Nothing horrible has happened this week and so I’m touting 31 as a good year.
Nothing horrible except I was wrongly and rudely blocked from a decent match for me. A country song should be written about his blocking ways. I didn’t even stalk him but then I think, I should sign up for this dating site again (even though I had decided to not rejoin) so I can stalk his dating activities.

glad to see you back!
31 was a pretty good year, as I recall it from my old age a few years forward 🙂
i think it’ll be looking up for you!

Val–I am posting this as a comment but wrote it as a draft before the blocking. So here’s more detail and Bryan’s take.
I gave it four days. I gave him four days. I tried hard, even if I stumbled along the way. You see, I met a man I quite enjoyed talking to on Sunday. We spent three hours talking and I thought we both had a good time. Oh, me, I guess it was probably something I said. Maybe that I knew nothing about sports and he’s a high school coach? Maybe because I said howdy-do.
Bryan says I should say only the things can a man would want to hear if I were about to kneel down. I guess howdy-do didn’t work so much. Bryan says I completely killed it.

Howdy-do implies mom-jeans, scrap booking, knitting, and over the top cheerfulness (which is so ironic considering ML is not cheerful, well, except for her one joyful eye that insists on going rogue). There’s a character on The Simpsons called Ned Flanders. He would say “Howdy Do, Neighbor.”

Don’t worry, MedicatedLady. The smell is mostly out this morning. Mostly.

Spoke too soon. The smell was still there today. Probably because I turned on the heat.
