Love & Hate: About Me

Thursday, May. 06, 2004 - 10:05 a.m.

I love taking care of myself. This diet has been successful, and I'm never going to be in bad shape again if I can help it. I still have a way to go, but have learned the do's and don'ts, and had a wonderful support system. Thanks. You know who you are.

I hate being stood up. That is the one thing that has always managed to destroy a friendship with me. It has in the past, and it will be again. If you can't keep an appointment with me, just say so. Don't lead me to believe you will do whatever with me and then stand me up. That's beyond fucked.

I love the words "I love you." I didn't say them often enough to my parents while they were still alive, so if you hear it from me a lot, that's why. Plus it's also entirely possible that I'm saying them because I love you. :-)

I hate being lied to. Don't lead me to believe something that isn't true, please. It's insulting.

I love my friends. I don't have very many close friends; perhaps a half dozen close friends, and two or three REALLY close friends. I have a best friend that I have met, and a best friend that I have not met. So if they've each been addresses by me as such, that explains the duality. Or maybe I mean dichotomy. Hmmm. Anyway, the ones I have, I take care of whenever and however I can. And it has rewards: I just finished a chat with a friend who closed with 'I love you. Never doubt that'. Nope, I won't doubt that. Not from you. Not ever.

I hate my legs. They've always been large, even when I was small. Oh well. At this point I suppose this makes just as much sense as hating the color of the sky or something. Some stuff is just going to be the way it is, and I think I'm stuck with these stems. Sigh.

I love music. I love making music and I love listening to music. I love standing over at the Yamaha and giving myself over to the muse.

I hate basketball.

I love talk radio, especially Ronn Owens, and Phil Hendrie.

I love the idea of Jesse Ventura running for President.

I love Diaryland and everything about it.

I hate not being able to think of stuff to write every day.:)
