In the Deep

I think this song is one of the prettiest songs that I own:

Bird York – In the Deep:

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don’t see it coming, now
you can’t stop yourself.
Now you’re out there swimming…
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you… Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you’re out there spinning…
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

This Week

I am not sure how this week is going to go. I am excited because I am only working like 28 hours at ShopKo this week, which will give me time to work for Sonic.net (which pays more per hour). Also, it looks like on Thursday Mindy might come over and we can watch the most ever Sci-Fi stuff. I am happy about that.

Tomorrow is still up in the air. I am going to the cities again to pick up Beth and Matt and this time Kohl is coming with me. I would rather go alone and spend some quality time with Jared, but I don’t think that is going to happen. I suppose I will show Kohl around (what little I do know about the cities) and just sight see. I also need to go back to the Cheesecake Factory and pick up my scarf that I left on Friday when I was there with Jared.

Beth and Matt don’t arrive until 10PM tomorrow and it looks like it may be later because there is supposed to be a storm heading this way that will start tonight and go on for the next week. I am not looking forward to driving in that again!

Well, I need to go to work now, hopefully that will go well today.

Yeah, about that…..

I should listen to these lyrics, but I never do:

We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told me your story I thought about mine
You said when you lost her you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring

So I asked you to take me some place quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away

So don’t say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don’t
It’s just the fear of being alone

Reckless hearts can clear a path
Wider than a hurricane’s aftermath
We’ve both traveled down that road
Where in the name of love anything goes

So don’t say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don’t
It’s just the fear of being alone

Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you
And tell you everything’s gonna be all right

I must admit it’s been fun
But that’s no reason to jump the gun
If this is real time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself

So don’t say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don’t
It’s just the fear of being alone

The Longest Day

Well, today is going to be a really long day! I looked forward to yesterday because I got to go to the cities and visit Jared! I haven’t seen him in over a week and I was really happy to see him.

It all started the night before. I knew that sleep wise, the next couple of days were going to be difficult. I got to sleep at around 11:30 (really early for me). At about 1:30 I got a call from Kohl saying that he was really drunk and his friend got on the phone and said that they were going to be driving him home soon because he had thrown up all over himself and the car. I thought that was fine and went back to bed. at 1:50, I get ANOTHER call from his friend saying that Kohl would not let them drive him home and I needed to come and get him.

I got up, got in my cold car in my PJs and drove down 90 towards the northside ShopKo which is around where his friend lived. I missed the damn exit on the freeway because I couldn’t see very well and was going too fast and would have crashed if I took the off-ramp at the speed I was going. I had to wait until the next exit (on French Island) to turn around and get off the correct exit. I eventually got to his friends house and had to go in and get Kohl off the bathroom floor. It was not pretty.

I eventually got him in the car and we started driving home. I had to stop a block down the street from his friends house so Kohl could vomit out the door into the street. We drove another block and he threw up again! Then he started cussing at me and I was not happy about it. I almost kicked him out of the car and made him walk home. We eventually made it home and Kohl needed a bath. Long story short, he got in the bathtub, threw up more, cried and eventually made it into bed and went to sleep after trying to cuddle with me and being denied. This brings the time to about 3AM.
