Tuesday 11/13, LPC wrote to me to tell me he liked my profile picture and also to ask my opinion about getting a PA for his Landcruiser. I found this to be very odd, yet interesting. I corresponded with him a little back and forth, but mostly just wondered why the hell he was writing me. At home I hurriedly showered and got ready then headed out for my waxing appointment. I talked to Mom and Kassie on the way in to find out how it was going so far and Mom said it's "out there". I had to park a few blocks away and had a different girl with a high pitched voice that was very thorough. It took longer than it usually does and she had no problem removing the little towel and looking squarely at my crotch. I was like "Oh...um, ok" but I'm sure she's seen it all so I wasn't going to get bent out of shape over it. You’ve seen one crotch you’ve seen em all. After the ripping was through I went to Kay-See's for Tuesday night club and to enjoy breakfast for dinner. I brought my waffle iron and her and R got right down to it when I arrived. She also made pancakes, Denver scramble thing, apple cider syrup and raspberry and blueberry jam. I ate way too much of course but it was so good and it's been a while since I've had waffles or pancakes. I talked with Bethany and Jenny quite a bit and they asked me about LPC and I gave them the low down then they busted my chops about seeing two people at once and I said it's fine as long as you own it. Everyone was howling though, it was funny. The Super Nintendo was hooked up and we watched Bethany and Florin play a few rounds and laughed at Florin's commentary. We gave Kay-See a hard time for having jizz on her shirt then somehow got on the topic that that's the secret ingredient in her Mom's pancakes, which gives them that special texture and consistency. At 9 I took off for home, got a random call (what I thought was a pocket call) from Ian but then noticed that it was a song (he was at a concert) he put on one of the cds he made me so that made me smile. He ended up calling me about a half hour later to tell me he almost got his ass kicked by a bunch of angry lesbians. He was trying to tell me something about this weekend but I couldn't hear so he said he would talk to me later. I watched the news then went to sleep.
Monday 11/12, I decided to work a half day instead of taking the whole thing off so that I can leave early the next time I go down to Portland. I called Eric to see if he wanted to go out to Carnation since I know he has Mondays off but he somehow got suckered into working but expressed that he really wished he could. When I got home I ate some lunch and laid on the couch in front of the tv watching bad tv court shows and started a fire. I totally fell asleep then woke up and decided there was no real reason I needed to be up so I allowed myself to fall back asleep in a half sitting up position. I usually can't sleep like that at all but I was so comfortable. Eventually I woke up again and it was like 4 so I got up and went down to the garage to organize and load boxes into my car for Jim then back upstairs and restarted my fire which I totally got blazing. I knew Ian wouldn't believe me so I took a picture. I continued to lay on the couch and be so lazy that I'm ashamed of myself then ate popcorn and yogurt for dinner. Real healthy Karrah! Hmm, I watched Dancing with the Stars (ashamed again) and sat in my room until it was time to go to bed.
Sunday 11/11, Kassie and I slept in and she ended up out of bed before I did because I was feeling lazy and decided to play on my computer and read and stuff instead. She left and I hung out until it was time to go over to Mom's for lunch. I was the only one that showed up and I ate way way too much food, which worried me because I was supposed to go hiking with Sos and Kay-See but it didn't happen. I wasn't surprised, but a little disappointed. I hung there with Mom and Dad and Mom fell asleep so we sent her upstairs. Dad and I talked about self-worth and relationships and how the two are linked and friends' relationships and school and his party and all sorts of other interesting things. I stayed fairly late then Gerry showed up so I talked with him about Amelia for a little while then took off for home. I vegetated for the rest of the night in front of the tv and probably played with my cat.
Saturday 11/10, Called the dr at 7:45 and scheduled an appt for 10 then went back to sleep. Susan called and we made plans for brunch after my thing. I set out and arrived early and luckily they got me going and diagnosed quickly and I was out of there in no time. I called Susan and met at her house where she gave me a bunch of goodies and we set out for 14 Carrot. We parked right by LPC’s house and walked up, got a table right away and started reviewing the wonderful menu. We both changed our minds about 3 times about what we were going to get but finally settled and ordered from Kev who acted excited about what Susan was getting. We talked while waiting and chowed down when our food came, even eating off each other’s plates. Like any set of wives would naturally. We hit Louisa’s next and both picked up a little treat and walked back to the car. Ian texted me then again when we got back to Susan’s, so I packed up my goodies from her and headed out calling Ian on my way home. I told him about my prognosis and we talked about our plans for the day. I went to pick up my prescriptions then more food for J at the vet’s office. Kassie was still home when I got there so we sat in her room and talked and played with J who was in love with all the tissue paper and his frog toy. We laughed a lot and I played Elvis Perkins for her and we talked about plans for the evening and for her taking J down to CA. She took off and I think I hung out and didn’t do much until it was time to get ready and head over to Mom’s. I stopped and got some ice then was tracked down by Kassie on 72nd while I talked to her and was like “Who is this jackass on my ass?!” not realizing until I’d said it that it was her. When I walked in Maddie was standing there and I was like “What are you doing here?!” and it turns out her and Uncle David surprised Dad for his party along with Uncle Gerry. Crazy! We helped a little bit get the party set up but the caterer and Mom had done most of it so there wasn’t much except to get the music going. People started arriving and it was actually a really fun party. I got to see all these friends of Dad’s who I haven’t seen in ages due to not living at home anymore and not being 12 and required to attend dinners. I talked to Dan and Teri about UPS and why it’s such a wonderful school and would be a perfect fit for D, who I can’t believe is applying to colleges. I said I would meet with them or go down with them to look at it. I also talked with Rick about life and Cassidy and Ian and he’s just so great to talk to. So compassionate. I also got a lot of face time in with Chip and Monique which is always hilarious, then Uncle David (Q not M) told Kassie and me about how Josh Charles was asking if we were going to be at Dad’s party and he said yes but that he could never touch us. I was all “Oh come on Uncle David, a little making out never hurt anyone” and he put his fingers in his ears and was all “La la la la la” but we all thought it was hilarious. Apparently he’s got places in both LA and NY. Blue had been asking too, which we are both amused by. Hmm, what else? Peggy showed up a bit tipsy but in a great mood and asked what the hell I was doing working for her and that I should go off and be a model…um, yeah. I talked with Amy and Josh and Amy’s mom, whose name I unfortunately can never remember despite having met her, oh I don’t know, 46 times. Shame on me. All the sibs convened down in Alix’s room and took some pictures with a specific goal in mind, then we all heard a weird convo between David and Hillary but didn’t know the context. Eventually most of the people left and it was just Mom, Dad, David and Gerry and we sat talking about pets and David commented that Toto’s legs are “fucked up” which had us all laughing. I took off around 11 and caught SNL in time to find out it was an f-ing rerun. Booo! Fell asleep with it on.
Friday 11/9, I decided on a low key evening because I was tired but also because I was picking Kay-See up from the airport around midnight. I talked to Mom for a bit and she let me get back to sleep. K texted that she had landed around 11:15 so I took off and waited in the cell lot until it was time to get her curbside. We hit traffic right outside the airport due to a huge accident involving two semis and a car that had run right underneath one of them…I’m not sure how anyone could have survived it. I heard all about her business trip to TX then filled her in on my night with Eric and things with Ian and she was a bit shocked, though entertained, by Eric stories. I dropped her at R’s and drove home and went to bed. I wasn’t feeling 100% so I decided I would make a dr appt in the morning.
Thursday 11/8, I talked to Susan then Mom after work then called Eric and made plans to hang out. I showered and started getting ready then ate some broccoli and zucchini for dinner and finished getting ready. I hit the road later than I had wanted to but made it to his house before 8. I talked to Ian on the way in and we had a great conversation and he was thankfully feeling better and I gave him some cranberry tips cultivated from Susan. It was just really great to talk to him for 20 minutes or so and laugh and feel that connection over the phone because that's all we have. I got to Eric's and we sat in the living room talking about Phil and that sad Adam Sandler movie with Michelle for a few minutes then went downstairs and hung out in his "den". He put on some music and we sat talking on the couch then he showed me his "sea walk" or as I like to call it his "sea dance" and he even used props and turned the lights off. It was a lot of hype for not a lot of action. It was funny anyway. We just sat talking and he told me how he feels about me and was honest about EVERYTHING that happened between us and how his friends played into it and didn't play into it and how he feels about me now and his objective with all of this, which has me a bit nervous. There was a lot of dirty talk but I tried to laugh most of it off as that's not why I went over there and because, despite our lack of defining what we're doing, I feel like I'm with Ian and need to focus on that. Eric didn't like that Ian won't call himself my bf and that if he's not my bf then why can't we make out? And if he is my bf then why am I over there being a "tease"? It wasn't all serious, we had a good time laughing and reminiscing and my favorite line from the whole night was "Ohhh, you're hurting my balls!" which was a totally random and loud declaration apparently because he was all riled up from my smile. And that piece of my side showing. We watched a skate video for a while and he showed me the Leavenworth park and the one that was right by his house in Louisville and how he was on the sidelines watching while they were taping. He got out a photo album that had two of the pictures he took from our Leavenworth trip in it and that made me smile and I realized just how much he knows he fucked up. He said he wants me so badly now because he can't have me...which I feel a bit conflicted about...there was lots of other stuff but I'm not going to write it on here. It was about 10:35 so I decided to take off and after multiple hugs downstairs he walked me out to my car and the hugs continued, so I don't really know...um, yeah...who knows. I drove up to the Hill and parked and waited for Susan, then we walked to Neighbs talking about my evening with Eric and Susan didn’t seem to approve, but was glad I behaved myself. It was packed when we went in, which shocked us because it hasn't been that packed at 11 in a long time. Susan and I decided it was going to be a magical night because of how many of our bfs / regulars / "exes" were there. Let's see, there was her new gay bf Chris, Dick, Syphilis, SPM (with hair not in a ponytail which we found to be distracting) who we think was sitting out a lot because he was on his period, Susan's clapping bf, Socks and Sandals, Asscrack, Awkward getting it on with some random guy, Polio girl who was talking to Dick before Syphilis moved in and Bouncer Eric who was still sporting his shiner though it looked much better. Right when we got there we went upstairs to observe then decided to check our coats and I accidentally made eye contact and smiled at Dick, aughhhh! Susan cracked up, but I totally didn't mean to. Out on the floor we saw Chris and he liked my necklace though he wanted me to wear it down my back like he would. I told Susan that her "Flashlight bf" was coming and she was like "I don't think so, he's made his intentions perfectly clear" but I still don't want him. We had a really good time dancing to some decent songs and laughing, especially when that weird hat guy on stage was making out with some girl and Susan was like "What the hell...is going on there...?" and we both laughed so hard. Moppet showed up about 10 minutes before we were going to leave and invited me to Chloe's birthday party on Saturday then asked me when I'm coming down to LA, and I don't know how to not be nice to him or whatever, like, "Um, never" but I know he's a nice guy and doesn't deserve that, I'm just not interested. Susan spotted Teal in a cute hat but we didn’t say hi and left not too much after. I felt a little bad ditching Moppet but at the same time prayed that he wouldn’t invite me to that party via myspace. We walked to our cars and took off.
