Ahh.. thank you all.
I was a good day. I got some beautiful jewelry, a Sigg bottle, the new Weakerthans CD and some Cote d'or chocolate. Also I went to this high class all-you-can eat sushi place with the SO and had a romantic evening. Also I got loving calls from the SO's grandma and mom and got to talk to his sister too. I've made some really hard choices over the past few weeks that have lead to real freedom for the first time in my life. So, yeah, life is pretty sweet.
I actually had an experience yesterday which sort of sums up the last year of my life in a way:
I was sitting at a bus stop after work on the main drag of my city. My iPod was playing "Hey Jude." A van pulled up at the bus stop to drop some ladies off, not noticing the giant semi-behind it going full speed, not anticipating that a vehicle would stop in the middle of the road. The semi blares its horn and slams on the breaks and the ladies in the van shriek in horror. The semi screeches to a halt just before hitting the van. The ladies in the van look at me, their faces still uncertain if something horrible has happened. We both see each other's faces and realize that by some miracle all is well. I grin, they grin back. "naaah, nah, nah, na na na nah. Nah nah nah nah, hey Jude!" It's a lovely moment of humanity where three strangers all connect with each other on a human level like that. We all giggle as the ladies get out of the van and run of down the street, off into the distance. The semi-driver shakes his head. The van and semi drive off. Catastrophe avoided. Life goes on.
Sad fact: Onstad has only posted a comic on my birthday three times, all three were mediocre. None were posted last year or this year.
