Loch Ness...

Ok, anyone around a South Park fan?? There is one episode where Chef is getting married, and his bride turns out to be a Succubus... that's right a god damn succubus (in kyle's words).

Anyway, Chef's parents are in town for the wedding, and all Dad wants to talk about is the Loch Ness monsta'

"One time, I heard the door bell and I opened the door and there was this cute little girl scout standing there..." " she was so cute with her little pigtails" interrupts Mom.. "damn it woman, I'm trying to tell a story... Anyway, the girl scout said would you like to buy some girl scout cookies?" Why sure little girl, I would love some girl scout cookies. What kind do you have?" Girl scout says "thin mints, taggalongs, gran crunchy thins" Why sure little girl how much are they... "I need about three - fifty." "Three fifty? It's about that time I notice that little girl scout was an 8 story tall crustacean from the Mesozoic period.. I said, "god damn loch ness monsta' leave my family alone..."

I know, random, but that is what makes that show interesting. If you can get around all the ethic slurs and stupid comedy... It is actually a superbly written show.

Me... Posted by Hello

Strange world...

OK.. In my line of work (as well as AJ's) we deal with some peculiar people. I had this very nice 65 y/o man with no teeth, more hair in his ears and nose than on his head ask me today "that infection in my lungs, can I transmit it sexually?" Ok.. my mind did not want to go there!!

Also another patient who has been in the hospital for 2 month decides to tell me that she has been on her period since she arrived. Why couldn't she share that with one of my coworkers, who all happen to be female????

Exciting times...

OK, I finally got up the courage.. why I was afraid, nervous or waiting, I'll never know, but last night I asked AJ to be my boyfriend again. He said yes... *HAPPY DANCE*..... (what else would he say to a cute guy like me.... kidding). I certainly think we have grown as individuals and have addressed our personal needs / habits that were interfering with our relationship with each other and we are ready to give it another shot.... YIPPEE..

For those of you who know, or don't know.. I'm in the process of buying a cool loft in beautiful downtown Birmingham (not laughter please). In July I signed a contract (the first one on the project) for a loft in a building that is being renovated. I was to close by March 31st... 2004!!! Guess what.. I didn't, and still haven't. I have a nice chunk of change tied up in this little deal with no end in sight. I was supposed to close (this time) by january 31st.. guess what.. no go. Next date we are shooting for is Feb. 28th. Guess what I saw my place yesterday.. my place is nice (much nicer than I expected) but based on what I know about construction (and I do know a little) there is no way they are going to be finished and have the building ready for occupancy by Feb. 28th. So... maybe I'll be in by March of 2006!!

The next development, I have broken down and decided to bite the bullet and go under the knife. For those of you who don't know, I have 2 fractures in my lower back that have probably been there since I was a teenager, but have been plagueing me for well over a year now. I've had many cool procedures called "Facet injections". That is where I get needles stuck in my back and medication to help with the pain injected into the fracture... the best part of the procedure is getting the sedation... woohooo... unfortunately.. . if they don't give you enough.. you feel the whole procedure. It's actually humorous when someone is sticking a needle into your back and you skirm to the point of almost coming off the table and they ask "does that hurt?" Not at all Doc... I normally move around like this... on the DANCEFLOOR!!!

Anyway, the fractures are now unstable, meaning my vertebra shift around on each other, which causes me to have muscle spasms, and lately BAD pain in my legs, sometimes I get the pleasure of both of my legs going numb!! that is always fun... In actuallity, the back pain is pretty tolerable, but now that we are dealing with numbness and pain in my legs (I want to amputate my right leg at times) it is a whole new ball game.

I'll have a realitively long recovery after surgery, so you can send all your expensive get well gifts to me... but please, no chocolate.. I'll be out of the gym for several months and I don't want to start looking like Kristi Alley!!!

and let there be silence

Ok, apologies for the absence. I literally haven't posted since before Christmas, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Holidays turned out great! Much better than I would have expected about 1 month ago win I was wallowing in pity. I ask AJ to to go out on a limb and spend Christmas with me. It was a big risk for both of us, but all was well.

Twas the day before Christmas and all the crazy house... Was 2 gay boys, 2 senile women and one overzealous drinker, not to mention a house full of kids and 15 or so rednecks. Yep that would describe Christmas eve at my mom's house. All in all it was great, the best part was that AJ was there with me and he seemed to really enjoy himself. I'm really happy he has made efforts to get to my "odd" but special family.

Christmas day was our day together. We woke up and I made AJ breakfast, then we (yes I said we, AJ scored more points) cook Christmas dinner. We opened presents and cuddled the rest of the evening. Not an exciting day for most, but enjoyed it tremendously.

Then alone comes new years. AJ had plans with his best friend Brad (who by the way is a terrific guy) and one of Brad's friend EJ (sometimes affectionately known as BJ) in Fort Lauderdale. I had originally planned to make the trip, but when AJ and my status "changed" so did my plans. After having such a great Christmas with AJ I so wanted to spend new years' with him. So after much discussion and plan making AJ and I decided that I should join the trip. He went down a few days before me and had some QT with Brad and John. I arrived on New Years eve, which couldn't have come any sooner. I was so missing AJ by the time that day rolled around, I was beside myself.

I got to see Brad and met EJ (who is just as terrific as Brad) and we all went to hear Abel at a great space in Miami. The evening turned out to be the best time I've had at a long time at an event such as this. I accredit this to being with AJ and with good guys like Brad and EJ.

The next 2 evenings we once again did the "socializing" thing, but I could have been just as content with only the first evening. The rest I would have been satisfied catching a movie or playing penuckle(just how do you spell that?).

I was very disappointed however, it seemed that every couple we met were interested in "playing" or played on the side. Not my cup of tea, but if it works for them, so be it. I just erks me when they assume that we play as well.

The drive back was phenomenal. We spent hours talking, laughing, sharing ideas. It seems that our little "situation" has sparked some much needed communication skills between us. There was one episode of AJ yelling to the top of his lungs, but it was a good thing ;-).

It seems inevitable to me that AJ and I are to be together. I just want to make absolutely sure before any more feelings are hurt. I do love him greatly. I've caught myself just wanted to look at him when he's not watching, and wanted to stare into his olive eyes for hours on end. My smile has certainly returned!
