Starting Over, Unrepentant Sinner!
February 18, 2009
In short, push did come to shove, did come to being too drunk to stand, did come to nearly having the police called for noise complaints, did come to a much lower self-esteem than initially started with accompanied by scarily absolute feelings regarding mortality, and things ended.
The following weeks have brought me to B-town, a mere 25 minute drive from W-town, but the differences are dramatic, let me tell you what, though granted, some of these are psychologically conjured out of blissfully altered state of mind. I live in a creepy old duplex half that makes weird noises and is perpetually drafty, with the two cats and the two snakes. All the taps drip, and a poltergeist runs around knocking shit over (like the felines) and creeping me out. It also likes to drink out of the cat’s water dish for some reason. I am the proud new owner of a Co-op share (number 26331), I have bird feeders, and live in a town with 22 churches (more on that later). I DO stuff.
I honestly couldn’t be any happier than I am right now, unless Unicorns existed and we could domesticate them into seeing-eye animals. It’s only been two weeks, and I feel like my chest can expand completely. I can sleep entirely through the night without moving once, even with the variables in cat-sprawl that map the quilt at bed time.
My job still rocks. My co-workers have twisted senses of humour, and my expendable income, despite my heavy-ish rent price, has doubled, now that I’m not spending it on shit I don’t care about.
And Tempest? I got to keep all my books.
1. You were involved in a domestic dispute that *almost* required police presence? That’s crazy.
2. Unicorns DO exist. Robocop rides one into battle.
3. Ghosts like booze. It is a proven ghostbusting solution.
I’m not sure, but if it is a ghost, I think it’s an animal ghost. It “does” animal like things and the cats notice “it” more than I do. Something for certain though, is something plowed over Hanna in the hallway the other night, while Lenin was sleeping in his cat bed. She was too shocked to even be scared, and was all sprawled out on her ass on the floor.
Good morning, HAPPY HALOWEN!!
