5 seconds of porn and then the buggaloos???
who sent me THAT vhs? :)

found the german programme where they talk to me live via telephone while displaying my image (a programme called "escape"?).
i have no idea what the translater said and then the tape ended.
that was a WEIRD day. remind me to tell you about that sometime!

++

good god, going through these unmarked video tapes to see what they are so i can get rid of some.
came across me on the sally jr. show. hahaha. what a TRIP!
no words.
i have to find someone who can transfer these videos to mov or mpeg or avi so you can see them!
fucking a, i held my own on that show. heck yes.

11:37pm

don't worry. pooka does the same thing back to him.
nutty dogs :)

god, how or what do i say to jason's family?
i mean, they already know and are really sad about it.
but do i write them a letter saying goodbye or WTF?
how completely odd is that?
this is nothing i have ever had to deal with before.
all my other boyfriend's families i was never close with at all.
jason's family LOVES me and i love them! they think i am the cat's meow.
and i've just never experienced such a warm and inviting family. i feel a PART of it.
i really DO! how can you unfamily a family? even tho we are not legally family, i feel they are my family.
part of the fabric of my life.
they totally expected jason and i to marry.

(marriage has never been one of my goals, i don't place a huge amount of importance upon it, but i'm not against it either. i'd marry if it was right. and if i never marry that is fine, too. i never had any dreams of the perfect wedding dress or any of that sort of thing. i never felt a need to be "princess for a day". or have this "perfect day". i just want someone solid who loves me for who i am. that is all i need or want.)

i went to all their weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays....
a huge jewish family where being a family is very very important.
it was foreign and overwhelming to me at first, but now it is part of my being, too.

his dad told me that he could not wait until the day he could call me his daughter in law :(
they are all very special people to me and now i lose them, too?
what do people do about this kind of situation?

i suppose i should write them some sort of formal goodbye letter?
god. fuck.

and auntie just turned 95 a few weeks ago, and now what...i just never see her again?
what the hell?

man, thank god that jason and i at least do not have children (except the dogs, which is really hard too, because the dogs are our children, and they love jason so much) and a house and we have separate bank accounts, etc.
we even live separately but on the same floor 2 doors away from each other (he is going to move out).
who would want to sort all that out?

but ya...his family....i realized this when we broke up but i think i just realized it even more now.
and being that i don't have much of a family and that his loved and accepted me so much...
this is really hard.
i didn't expect this part.

fuck.

9:07pm

good lord, ben hur is on pbs.
this movie always cracks me up. i never can sit through the entire thing.
it's basically just a gay soft porn S&M movie, from what i can ever tell.
all these sweaty men battling it out.
i always expect it to break out into a massive orgy any minute.

7:57pm

jason and i are the worst breakers up ever.
so he comes over and gives me a bowl of cereal and shows me his new cellphone and i tell him i'd help him clean his house if he wants because he is totally overwhelmed by it and i know how depressing it is to be in a messy place when you are depressed. but he is like no he wants to just figure out how do it it on his own (not like he doesn't know how to clena but it overwhelms him more than it does me, like i get overwhelmed if my computer breaks down. total gender stereotypes, i know, but there you go).
i'm so glad he is finding healthy things he likes to eat. he is the pickiest eater i know, so it's always so cool when finally he finds one more thing he can eat. so awhile ago he discovered kashi and now they make it in clumps that are super crunchy..and he is trying to describe this to me like it's a brand new thing that has just been invented.
"it's like clumpy and crunchy and really good!" he says.
and i say, "you mean GRANOLA?" :)
so yes he has discovered that he likes granola today :)
he also has discovered vanilla soy milk.
i can tell that when he is someday healthy and his found his way with that he is going to be one of those super energetic guys who have down a whole plan and formula for health down.
he'll get all into juicing and start experimenting withh getting everything down to it's exact weight it should be and how much of this to add and how much of that to add. he will have every fancy gadget ever monitoring his heart rate and he'll get down this "perfect system".
i know he'll figure it out and get it down.
i'm glad i could show him how to be healthy with no fancy system, gym equipment, personal trainers, or diet books. so at least he has that fundamental knowledge.
but he really loves to get technical about it and i love that he is different than me in that way.
because i love that it makes him so happy when he figures it out.
*sigh*
he likes to know his optimal heart rate and all that sort of thing.
i just like to go outside and walk and look at things and find little stuff on the ground and take pictures of it or whatever.
i like to take my time and notice tiny things and he likes the feel of speed on his bike with his daggets that show him how fast he is going, how long he has ridden, what was the average speed he rode and what his heart was at at every juncture.
i can see the joy in that, it does sound like a challenge, and i like that.
but i'm more of a "let me see how many things i can find that are the colour blue today that i can photograph and make into a collage" or "let me go see how many insects are out today and see if i can find any dead birds and i wonder if the frogs in the pond are chirping yet"
or "i wonder how many time i can find the number 3 on things with a 3 mile radius"
and i find that when i do what makes me happiest that is when i am the most healthy, automatically, by default.
we are/were a strange pair. so often complimentary to each other..and so often...just not.

i wonder if i will ever find anyone that matches with me.

6:05pm

i think he took back his key.
i still had a key to his apt. because he wanted me to still have it.
but i looked just now where i thought i put it and it isn't there.
so he might have just taken it back.
puts a lump in my throat in a way that hasn't yet.
it's so final, that.
i was doing pretty ok today up until this moment.
fuck.

5:04pm

i gave sebastian a half assed hair cut. he fights me the whole way through so it's such an ordeal.
now i'm going to take a bath and i'm doing laundry. and when that load is done i will put in my sheets.
if i just keep going the dogs and i will all be clean and so will the bed again.
everyone needs a springtime bath.
my soul needs a springtime bath.

jason and i have not spoken all day.
if we don't speak at all today it will be the 1st day that we have never spoken to each other. it feels so weird and wrong.
i'm trying to fill the emptiness by cleaning and just trying to maintain everything. trying to stay focused on the daily needs of the the dogs and i and the apartment because if i let that slip, then i know i will be in deep trouble.
one of the things keeping me together right now is the fact that i have managed to keep my house somewhat clean and i am still getting rid of things and making more space.
i wonder when i will be done with this process.

i'm so glad i have my dogs.
i've never had a pets before during any break up i've ever had.
and they certainly do help a LOT.
so i'm not really ALONE alone.
the house is constantly being filled by their ever expanding unstoppable cheer.

i don't know if i could survive this without them.
well, ya, i guess i could, but it would be a million times worse.

i decided to listen to juana molina. she is who i have been listening to lately.
jason showed me her. *sigh*
fuck.
he showed me a lot of cool music and took me to so many great shows.
oh fuck this i'm off to take a bath.

2:55pm

i announced publically that jason and i broke up.
it's been a week, so i figured i may as well just say it.
i hate to say it. i hate to type these words because i don't want them to be true.

i don't know what to do with myself today.
and i don't know what music to listen to because i don't want any song i like to become "that song"
the song that will always brings back memories of NOW.

maybe i should just go back to listening to music from my breakup with cris in the 90's...since listening to it will only remind me of when i was breaking up with him, so it's already been tainted by sadness.
i guess that would be like the sunday's 1st record and peter murphy's deep.
oh ya and the cure. lots and lots of the cure.

god, i don't know.
no matter what i do it will be depressing.
there is just no way around it.

 

 

11:54pm

song in head: don't let the sun go down on me by elton john.
i always wake up with a song stuck in my head, i don't know why.
i figured i'd start writing it down just because i find it intertesting.

i'm surprised i can find no one talking on the internet (so far) about dick cheney's daughter being on letterman last night.

here is a cool spam poetry i got today:

dovetail halving

many-fountained custom builder flame nettle
Caribou-eater virgin moth hunger march
gauge saw last-mentioned Bobby joe
Pidgin english evening school shining light
Candlemas day sassafras medulla telegraph bracket

Your Horoscope for May 20 , 2006

A rather negative aspect from the moon could play havoc with your emotions today. This is because the moon is going to move into watery Pisces, which happens to be your twelfth house. This will be a good time to get in touch with your emotions; meditation, soft music and weepie movies are the way to go.

and

Helping others **
Under this influence your energy is best expressed by activities whose principal goal is helping others. You may feel like doing very little, and certainly you will not be very self-assertive. But you are able to work with a spirit of true self-sacrifice and a desire to help others. Now you are more conscious of other people's needs and wants, because your own ego needs aren't very great. The only problem to watch out for is the temptation to view yourself as a kind of "savior" helping those who are lower or worse off than yourself. This influence can always create illusions, and you may think you are being totally unselfish when you are really on one of the strongest but subtlest ego trips of all. This is a good time to look at your life objectively to see what it really is without judging or condemning.

Now the emotions and intuitions get to bubble to the top. There is this grace and surreal ness to bubbles floating up in the water. They are completely air but so isolated, water all around. Sometimes the emotions can feel this way, that they just don't fit in the surroundings. Fighting them can only create more bubbles in the water. Float with them, see where in the being they generate. If you're attaching the emotions to the actions or words of someone else step back and realize that it's your reaction to those words and actions that is creating the emotion. It is a prime tool in most style of meditations to follow thoughts into the being and see where they came from. It's powerful to do this with emotions, really just breath with them and see where in the body/mind they come from. Especially with repetitive doubts and worries, to just look them in the face for awhile without letting the mind respond with a rebound thought whittles away at the power, influence and frequency they have with you.

and

It may be a bit too much today, even for you Rams, but you like the adrenalin rush anyhow. The volume on your life is being turned up loud and you feel quite alive. It's a wonder that you can do everything that is required of you now. In all your busyness, remember to slow down enough to see the beauty around you. A smile in your heart is worth more than words can tell.
