Bowling is for Friends & I’m not your Friend

No…..no I would not like to go bowling with you and your current girlfriend and some friends. And yes, yes I do think that would be too weird. Who does he think he is talking to? Really? After a year long hiatus, one phone call is not going to suddenly make us friends. We were never friends in the first place and to be honest I probably would never have been friends with him….ever. So why start now? Just because we spent three years of our lives together, miserable? Sorry, but I don’t really care to relive that.

Other than the bowling invite, my weekend consisted of going out with an old co-worker, relaxing, and exercising. I really miss my ex-co-worker. She is a ton of fun. Yes, you heard me J….you are a ton of fun!

But the clincher of the weekend was on Saturday when I started my day how every other day should start out….with a massage. Mmmmmmm…a massage. It was wonderful. The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with friends and playing racquetball. All in all I must say that it was a glorious weekend. I think now I am going to go for a long overdue walk since for the first time this month it is not raining outside. It has rained something like 20 days this month. TWENTY! That is alot of freakin’ rain.

My first celebrity…

After meeting with my new landlords, I finally made it over to see Christopher Moore promote his new book. It was everything I wanted and more. He was so funny, what with his “beta male theory” and awesome sense of humor. He signed my first edition of Practical Demonkeeping and my copy of his new book, A Dirty Job. The picture is crappy… but that is because who really charges their camera batteries before they go and meet someone famous? Apparently I don’t. I have my camera handy to take pictures of random flowers or my craft projects, but I don’t have it prepared when I meet someone famous.

I am only one chapter into his new book because I wanted to finish the Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove before I moved on. Anyway – If he is ever in your area, he is a quirky speaker who is really funny. And his books? Fabulous.

Endless Book

So I talked to my ex last night on the phone. The conversation went as I had planned……alot of him bragging about how wonderful his life is now. Alot of…..yeah well I am doing this….and isn’t that great….and I am now dating this awesome girl who I think I am going to marry….blahhhhblahhhhblahhhh.

I told him I was happy that everything was going well for him. I didn’t really go into much detail about my life (which was part of the overall “obtuse” plan). Just told him that things were going really well for me and that I was very happy and content with my life.

He also mentioned a few times that he has been seeing me around (coffee shop, freeway, shopping, etc.) but didn’t want to come up and talk to me. He also asked if I was doing freelance work for SNR……said he saw my name in the paper. Also said that I looked really good. He checked out my myspace page for the brief second I was on there. He said I sounded different. That I sounded happy and that he could tell by the sound of my voice.

Part of me wishes that I hadn’t talked to him last night. It kind of gives him the satisfaction that everything is now ok between us. But whatever, that is just me being selfish. He is moving to Thailand in May for about four months after he graduates. Weird.

I guess all in all everything went ok. It went as planned, which almost never happens. I can close that chapter of my life which is nice.

Today’s the day

Today is not only the day where I am prepared for TWO lectures on TWO different subjects for TWO different classes… but also the day that I get to meet Christopher Moore! I am really excited! I have a first edition of his first book, from my amazing boyfriend. And… I hope I can get my hands on TWO copies of his new book and send one to my friend in PA who gave be Coyote Blue a bazillion years ago.

Anyway. Life is good!
