k, i'm feeling
a lot better now from my night of debauchery! jeez! alcohol! it can do strange
things 2 u!
it is my least fave drug 2 b sure! i watched lots of tv, i watched alphaville,
and monty python, and the movie "the big lebowski" was very good
:) now it's 12:30pm and at 5:30 jason and i are leaving 2 go out 2 dinner
with jason's family because it's hi mother's birthday :) well, actually we'll
have 2 leave earlier 'cause we have 2 buy her a present. it's nice and sunny
out again today, which gives me some energy. i'm drinking diet pepsi, trying
2 limit my sugar intake a bit more.
i got the results done from my taxes finally! i didn't do taxes for the past
3 years 'cause i just cause i had no money, made no money,
couldn't deal with the stress of it. i was way below poverty level as far
as income. but i did save all my receipts
just in case. so i had an accountant try to figure it out, which was a nightmare
to him, i'm sure! it was also a nightmare to me as i had to get all this crap
dug up and written out and explained to him. heaps of papers and receipts
and bank statements, etc etc.
i had NO idea what the outcome would be. i didn't THINK i'd owe anything 'cause
i really didn't make any money but the fear
was still there that maybe i was very wrong. so it weighed on me for years!!!
well, now it's finally over! and i really don't owe much at all, just as i
thought. the big money i owe is to the accountant, god bless him, for 900
bucks. so that's about how much extra money i have ( for the first time )and
so i'm glad i can pay it and be done with it and have that weight lifted from
me! yay!
now the next big weight is to get my credit better. i need to get that all
sorted out then get one of those credit cards where u just charge against
the money u sent in until you've proven u are reliable. i had one of those
before, then i was 2 months late on one payment, and that was that. the end
of my one credit card i ever had. i love money, but really dislike having
to deal with it in
any other way other than spending it :) i don't have a retirement plan, i
don't even ahve health insurance. i haven't the faintest
idea about stocks, nor do i think i'd find a joy in investing. i don't even
like 2 play monopoly, it makes me nervous. i pretty much hate
all games where there is a winner and a loser. i have just always been so
nervous about that. pretty stupid when u take a game like checkers too seriously
or something! once i actually start in on a game, tho..then i go.."hey,
this isn't so bad" . but to invest REAL money..i just shudder at it.
it's all so easily erased in the blink of an eye. it's just zeros and ones
zooming through cables.
one wrong button and it's all deleted. who knows? plus i have this radical
new agey idea in the back of my head telling me
that there isn't going to be money as we know it by the time i retire. what
good is gold when u need some pure water?
but there's nothing i can do about that either. i'm not gonna start hording
stuff or making bomb shelters. just whatever happens happens, and i'll deal
with that then. the universe will hold me in it's gridlike hand...i hope :)

the page...

and here is an EXCELLENT quote that a fellow list subscriber sent to me:
"Our deepest
fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others."
Marianne Williamson in her book "Return to Love"

can you separate
yourself from your past?
or will it "haunt" you forever. memories popping up out of nowhere.
memories of bad sexual encounters while on a perfectly nice day. it's just
like u never get a sing u LIKE stuck in your head 80% of the time.
is getting free of memories the same trick as detachment? acceptance?
how about amnesia? or selected remembering?
blurring the details/ skewing the actual memory...making it fit into what
u want to believe, what u want to remember.
blocking out memories that are too painful. or boring.
how does one take control of memories instead of them taking control of u?
little mini movies stuck in loops popping in like advertisements for pain
and awkwardness.
don't u just hate that?
i have NO idea
why i posted "so there u have it" on the public bbs last night,
i was so stinking drunk it was not funny. i went to see robyn hitchcock at
1st ave and had some jaegermeisters. i guess my tolerance is NOT what it used
to be! plus i did it on an empty stomache. it's strange because i've never
"blacked out" before. no matter how drunk i can always remember
everything ( mostly )..but this time...i have NO clue, thank god the blacked
out part started as we were walking to the car to leave. and i didn't even
get sick, which , in a way is bad, 'cause if i had just thrown up i'd feel
a lot better today. i am SO dizzy, just now ( noon ) i can finally walk without
fear of fainting. unreal. stupid! yikes!
so today i'm just gonna stay in bed and recover. a lost day. my extensions
smell like smoke. yuck.
i will read all the new posts in here when i can focus better!
