life has been crazy lately. living with my folks has been an emotional roller coaster. i've loved living with dad, but my mom and i just can't seem to coexist peacefully. but it's mostly over now. we moved in our house this weekend, but we don't have water yet, so we're still coming to their house to shower and poo.

my relationship with mom is at an all-time low. i am so crabby all of the time now.

we're moving this saturday. i'm a little sad cuz this townhouse is probaly the best place i've lived and it's just starting to get so green and pretty outside. we have so many trees here. and we're not even sure where we're moving just yet. the plan was to move into that nasty camper i posted pictures of, but we might have talked mom into letting us stay in the house...which still isn't GREAT. their beds are SO hard and squeaky. if you even breathe, the bed squeaks! and they wake up really early and turn the tv full blast.

i bitched out united bilt (yes it is spelled that way...don't you hate it when businesses spell their name wrong intentionally?? i usually avoid those places.) yesterday. i thought they put the wrong shingles on the roof, cuz i know i picked out black, but i got grey. turns out black looks grey when it all up there and finished, but nobody told me that, so i made a big fool out of myself. i still hate them so much though. so much for being a happy new homeowner. they have made this whole experience HELL...and they don't care...they just smile and nod at you. yesterday i just ended up yelling random things i was mad about at him...and he just smiled and nodded his bald little head and said "I wasn't aware of that, Ms. Gayer." "I'll check in to that Ms. Gayer." "We're taking good care of you Ms. Gayer." then why the fuck am i about to move into a camper??!!

did i mention that my porch has already fallen off and taken half of the siding with it?

looks like our old foreman bailed...he up and went to california without telling anyone...so that's why there were so many mistakes in our house...but they're all fixed now and the new foreman is trying really hard to get it done before our lease is up. he said may 15th at the absolute latest. yesterday, we bought our mailbox and some pretty swirly numbers for the address on the house. does anyone know where to buy those big tacky daisies that people put on their cars? i really want some for my mailbox.

anyway....i'll post new house pics when i get em.

more on david sedaris....

mike bought tickets to david sedaris a year ago. he knew i couldn't afford to go...but didn't know i got free tickets at the last minute. he showed up at my door after the show and had bought me the anthology of short stories that david just published for charity "children playing in front of a statue of hercules"....which i REALLY wanted. it was signed "To Greta with the great pleasure of meeting your #1 employee." so i got my personal message after all...kind of.

not as good as mike's though....he got a simple "L.Y.L.A.S."

thanks to melissa's boss' sudden illness, i got to see david sedaris tonight. he was freaking amazing. i love him. we showed up early and i had him sign my copy of "naked". i was disappointed though when all he wrote was "TO: Greta
David Sedaris"
i was at least hoping for an "i love you back" or "i want you to mother my children." but all i got was the generic to, from thing.

melissa had him sign her book to peter, her boss...and then had david add his wife's name. david asked where she worked and when she said an interior decorating place, he asked "And your boss isn't a homosexual??"
melissa was like..."no, he's just english." it was funny at the time. i wish i could've have talked to him more, but i froze up. surprise.



Mood: really freaking excited.

the last two days were excruciating. my butt is numb from all the car riding. my travel partner was one of those southern people who feels the need to yell instead of talk. i had a constant headache. we were in a hurry to get home since it was a 6 hour drive to her house and another hour+ to mine, but she just HAD to stop so many times on the way home...once she pulled over to talk to her sister on her cell phone, she stopped at 2 gas stations for candy, taco bell, and a fuckin CAR WASH!!! by the time i FINALLY got home..it was well past midnight and i was so exhausted. i hope i don't ever have to do that again...maybe next time i'll just drive myself and take kayla and my pups. i missed them so much.



Music: plants and rags- pj harvey

i want these SO bad! i can't stop thinking about them. if i were still single i would just buy them, but the look kayla gives me everytime i mention a new pair of shoes is deadly.

i was so excited to open the cereal this morning and find a toy. i didn't even think they did that anymore.

this week has been so stressful with all the bad little boys and girls at work...finding out our how has been botched...finding out i have to spend the next 2 days in st. louis with a woman who is obsessed with dale earnhardt jr. (and luckily our hotel is right next to a huge nascar outlet that she wants to take me to!!) oh joy.

i stopped eating meat again...the guilt is just too much. and i don't even know why i was doing it. i was a hardcore vegetarian for 5+ years and then one day i just pick up some turkey and go on a total meat binge. well, the binge is over.

i wish i wasn't so painfully shy. i wish i wasn't bored all of the time. i wish i didn't tug at my clothes..uncomfortable in the own skin. i wish i could start up conversations with strangers and talk all night. i wish i didn't hold grudges, but i don't know how to stop.

save my soul....please

sooo...the catholic church sent me a prayer rug a week or so ago with a checklist of things i need them to pray for..for me. i filled in the fill in the blanks part with "i hope that someday i will have the right to marry the woman i love." already my mailbox is full of books and pamphlets on how i can save my soul.

i had a really weird dream last night that one of my parents' friends died cuz he ate too much easter candy in one sitting. it was so realistic that when i woke up, i kinda wanted to cry.

this weekend has been so nice...my first full weekend off in a really long time. yesterday mom & i hiked the 6 mile trail around lake fayetteville. it was so fun and really beautiful. there was a scary part at the end though where you have to climb up this red clay embankment and it's just totally straight up. it scared my fragile little ankle. but still, i wanna go back.

on a better note, a girl left a note on my car today saying she noticed my bumper stickers and wanted to hang out cuz she can't find any like-minded lesbians in town to hang with. i don't know if i should call her. i'm too shy for this. i'll make kayla do it...she's the PR person in this relationship.
