This is one of my all time favorite songs – I wish I could find a link to the video, but alas…Here’s the lyrics anyway.
Shades Apart – One Starry Night
Eric’s room gets too small one night
(he) takes his whole apartment outside
down at his desk he sits and writes
under a streetlight
one starry night just like tonight when these
city lights seem like candlelight
one starry night somewhere between midnight
and sunrise everything will be alright
On the steps someone plays guitar
carrying into the dark
far off a saxophone begins following along
writing the same song
one starry night just like tonight when these
city lights seem like candlelight
one starry night somewhere between midnight
and sunrise everything will be alright
Angela hears the music play
sees eric and suddenly the lights change
dare she let her heart take this one chance?
she says do you want to dance?
Friday isn’t much to be thankful for this week. I’ve got a little mini-rage going on inside my head right now that is slowly creeping toward my fingers. I’m frustrated beyond belief that there isn’t more I can do for certain people. It’s one of those days where you’re wishing things away. I know it’ll pass and everything happening is for it’s own just reason, HOWEVER, I don’t have to like the “going through” it phase and I don’t…not one bit.
I want to scream, really, really loudly right now. I wonder why things that happen to other people affect me so deeply sometimes, to the point that I want to fight for them. Do a tag-team and just take the shit for a while so they can sit in the corner and re-group. I guess when you love someone it feels that way.
I hate that for now, my only recourse is to be a listener, an advice giver and a support. I’ll just sit in my corner and silently scream…

Sorry if you’ve read this and expected something else. This is more of “for me” post than anything else.
I’m out –
I’ve always heard about people doing it, but I’ve never done it myself…until today. I went out at lunch, bought a new shirt and walked out of the store wearing it. It felt, oddly enough, totally awesome (maybe that’s just the girl in me) :). It was extremely entertaing to walk up to the cashier and hand her only a tag, the look was priceless.
Oh and apparently Carl and SG are hitting it off – kudos to both 😉
I hate when people talk about you from 10 feet away, like you can’t tell or can’t hear what they’re saying…
I KNOW I’M FUCKING CRABBY OKAY?!?!
I woke up feeling exhausted, I slept like crap last night. In fact, I was so wiped I didn’t hear the alarm go off…that NEVER happens. I’m moody today, I have no patience, need more coffee and am so hungry I think I could eat Denny’s out of their Grand Slam breakfasts…What is wrong with me…
On a side note, I had an excellent day yesterday. Spending the day with the Hubby and friends at Dave & Buster’s was fun. Heather and I rocked the coin machines like nobody’s business. Heaven help Vegas if we ever get there!
And now it’s back to work, which sounds so much less appealing when all I want to do is curl up in a ball w/a caffeine drip and check out for a while. Eloquence has left me…
Several things have happened in my recent life and I’ve been feeling very public as of late. You might just need to get used to the new me, or you can tell me to go to hell, either way it’s cool…
And the only thing that’s going to help it….spending the day with a screaming child.
[sigh]
I married my best friend today.
