Last Night:

JL invited me over last night. I brought desert over since we both had already eaten. I went over to Marie Callendar's and purchased their apple caramel cheese something...we both could only eat half a slice. Then we watched the live episode of Will and Grace and Everwood. Then we watched the rest of The Dreamers...we cuddled and kissed and stuff- fast forward to this morning - I wake up to "shit!!" JL did not set his alarm.

what can i say?...we'll let Jane's Addiction do it for us...

jane's addiction - i would for you

JL, "it's inevitable"

Rita can't mess it up this time...

I will finally get to see and spend the night with JL tonight. We had to cancel last week because of Rita and my family coming in that night. I saw him briefly on Friday (and if tonight is anything like those couple of hours...happy days!!!) before having to head back home to resume my hostess duties. I guess what would be important to point out here is why we haven't seen much of each other lately-to put it in the most simplest terms-he is a very busy guy in a very impressive way. I want to be more like him. I meet his friends this Sunday for their weekly get together...nervous

I plan to rent a movie and bring over Bjork videos. We plan to talk and cuddle and just enjoy each others company. I'm really liking this. I asked him last night if he missed me-his reply-YES.

BTW, my family is doing well, nothing happened to any of their homes.

It's been awhile:
Diaframma - Siberia (Muzak remix)

Arcade Fire - Cold Wind

M83 - Safe

I will give all the wonderful details later. And the rest of my crazy-ass weekend...including housing my family because of Rita and S's Truck...

SHIT

Look out your window

JL and I had a wonderful conversation over the phone last night. We covered a lot of ground and I think it was a huge step in the right direction. What direction? Well, for me, I think it's all about trust. I've been fucked over one too many times and for me finding someone to trust again will be a challenge, but with JL...I don't know, I can honestly say the trust came with the first conversation I had with him.

I'm smiling a lot. I get giddy and perky when he calls. I lay in bed and think about us. I'm happy again. I feel like letting go and allowing whatever to happen.

Tomorrow I see him. We're going to rent a movie and he is planning to cook for us. The idea of just holding him makes my stack of work, my lousy lunch, my uncomfortable chair, the heat outside seem to just vanish or seem like a steak or a recliner or seem like New England fall weather.

HOLY SHIT, here the bitch comes. My parents, sister (her family), and one of my brothers are coming to Austin to ride out the storm. They are saying it should reach catergory 4 status before landfall...sound familiar? The tracking puts the eye right where my family lives: Lake Jackson, south of Houston. Here we go...Fucking Rita.

acl, playlists, aMoRe info...working title

First, here are the songs I placed on JL's 2 CD set called "mixed up mix." The reason for the title?...I told him one was slow the other fast...he seemed to think the one I labeled slow should be in fact fast and vise versa. Anyway, here it is:

CD 1 (Slow)

death cab for cutie (DCFC) - Transalanticism
bjork - possibly maybe
m83 - farewell/goodbye

stars - set yourself on fire
bjork - aurora
bright eyes - a perfect sonnet
the postal service - such great heights
bjork - pagen poetry
emiliana torrini - fisherman's woman
bjork - unison
bloc party - tulips
tarnation (soundtrack) - desperation

CD 2 (Fast)

annie - chewing gum
bjork - big time sensuality

What else? I had a wonderful time this weekend. I spent it out at JC's new place in Lakeway. It's a drive but it's completely worth it. JL, came out with me on Saturday after the game. We both left on Sunday. I hated spending that much time with him then having to leave. We respectably shared the same guestroom where we cuddled and kissed and touched each oher's skin...then we slept. Very nice!!!

On Sunday, I cooked breakfast and then JL and I sat on the couch and just held each other before having to leave. I see him on Wednesday...I can't wait.

ACL is this weekend...I will be there Sunday. Hopefully Rita won't fuck it up too bad. I will be seeing Ambulance LTD., M83, Rilo Kiley, The Bravery or Kaiser Chiefs, The Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Wilco or Franz Ferdinand, and Coldplay.

in a better place?

okay, I've been bitter for the last couple of weeks but for good reason (i think compared with the rest of the fucking country) but I'm back. Back with a vengeance!!!...a new attitude, a new "love interest" a new out-look...I think America and the rest of the world has finally realized that mister bush is shit...so...here is what is going on in Mr. p's life: I (think) have found mister m(r)a(i)n(ght). Why? B/C it is at a snail's pace...nothing is serious except where we what to eat. We have had many wonderful conversations about nothing and everything that means something...nothing to conclude except a wonderful, beautiful reciprocated smile....JL...

YOU NEED TO STEP DOWN AND LET SOMEONE WHO IS MORE CAPABLE...HELL A FUCKING MONKEY WOULD DO A BETTER JOB AT THIS POINT.
