| March 10, 2003 - A good weekend relatively speaking |
| Dear Friends, although my invitation to Buckingham Palace has still not arrived and I leave on Thursday for London, I nonetheless had a good weekend. I just hope Liz isn't angry at me about anything; she should know I just adore her! It's her kids I can't stand! Well let's see. On Friday night I stopped by at Ye Olde Watering Hole, natch'. And there I saw Miss Diva and Sean. We played the drinking game that I invented and wrote about in my last entry. However, Miss Diva didn't find it particularly funny; probably because she wasn't drinking at the time. However, Sean found it amusing and I'm sure he'll come up with all sorts of words to substitute for "blessings". His preferred one at the moment is "panties". Anyhoo, Saturday I got up and I was all about washing clothes and working out. But after the clothes washing ordeal, I ate such a huge breakfast that I ended up back in bed digesting it slowly like some two-legged python. After that I worked out and then I trotted downtown. Was that a mistake or what? First of all, I ran into someone from my neighborhood who insisted on recounting to me every sexual experience he had had since age 14. Then he went on and on about his retirement plan and how much he contributes to it a week, a month, whatever. If I weren't totally climbing the walls at that point, he then told me about his upcoming trip to Europe where he will travel for three days by himself and then hook up with a group somewhere. Suddenly he launched into what their breakfast plans would be for their initial meeting. Honestly, Dear Readers, it was like reading "Moby Dick" all over again with those endless descriptions of every type of whale that has ever existed! I finally busted a move to another bar where I was really enjoying watching music videos and drink-a-drink drinkin'. But then this guy started talking to me and when he found out that I could play the piano, he decided that he had to win one over on me. He said, "Would you consider yourself beginner or intermediate?" And I answered "intermediate" because I just don't practice enough. Then he said, "Well, I took piano as a child for four years and now I'm taking as an adult, so I'm definitely intermediate! How many years have you studied?" When I answered "15", he got all pouty! I told him that I could play from a hymnal with a little practice and I think that upset him even more! Well, what did he expect when you compare 15 years with four years? Give me a break! In all honesty, I really have studied for 15 years and I would have left that out and the point about the hymnal if he hadn't been so uppity. So there! I practically flew out of there to Ye Olde Watering Hole! They had some kind of band playing, but I was a bit out of sorts and only stayed a short while before heading home. Sunday I spent working out, playing the piano, doing some work on the computer, and then I headed out to Ye Olde Watering Hole where two friends of mine almost got into a fight! I always get upset about that because JOHNNYLEEN is all about peace and love; but not in a hippy way; more in a Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole kind of way. Oh, one more thing! I got a second cat that someone who was moving couldn't take with them. Gunhilda got all suspicious and hissy, but she's coming around. Abercrombie is making himself quite at home, but he's still a bit shy. So there you have an update from my fantabulous life! Next entry Previous entry Go to diary entries Go back home |
