I am sleeping and walking! Sleeping and walking! How am I doing that?

I’m pretty sure I’m having a mid-life crisis, and have been having one since I was 18 years old. I mean, think about it. Am I really going to live to be 74 years old? No. No. So there you go. Mid-life crisis.

Except the crisis part, the thing that really pisses me off is that I never took any naked pictures when I was young and hot. Well, I look back now and see I was young and hot, but at the time I had NO FUCKING IDEA about it. If you knew me then and didn’t tell me, well, I blame you. You should be ashamed of yourself, not telling me.

I also thought back then that I might be an actual writer someday. Except I hadn’t really planned it out, hadn’t thought through how those things happen. So here I am. Still thinking it’s coming around someday, this discipline and dedication thing.

What do you do with the things you hold onto that you find impossible to let go? I have a friend, someone I considered a very good friend, who has ignored me for years. And yet, I hold this person close out of my own sad certainty that I know who she really is…that one day she will have a near-death experience that will make her remember that we once loved each other and should be friends again. Where do you put that, when you’re an adult and it sounds too high school to bring up?

I watched a Sex and the City rerun tonight, and it actually made me feel very, very sad. When I used to watch this show, hearing the ages they recited made me feel secure in my late 20s/early 30s. Now I’m older than all of those bitches. Fuck those bitches and their patent leather Mary Jane Manolo Blahnik urban legends.

*I had something else written here, but I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, so it’s gone now*

  1. I don’t understand why so many women go crazy for Manolos.

  2. I have a time machine if you really want me to go back in time and take some naked pictures of you. Just let me know where you were located when you were 18 years old. And I’ll need a note from you with personal information about you that only you would know about, so that you will believe that you really wanted somebody to go back in time and take naked pictures of you. Course, the excitement of taking naked pictures at age 18 might cause you to make different decisions in life. Are you willing to take the risk? Also, the type of camera film that will survive time travel is a bit expensive. We’ll discuss cost after I hear back from you.

  3. OV, that really made me laugh. Thanks!
