a little musing, a little philosophizing, a little ranting, a whole lot of nothing, really.

Then he threw a bread maker over the balcony and all was well with the world

I got angry drunk tonight. No real good reason. Eric and I were stood up (separately, and there were good reasons for both. Still sucks.). We sat on the back deck and drank martinis. That wanting to break things feeling came upon us (pent up something, for sure). Usually drunken Meghan cries when she reaches that. I'm a very tacky drunk.

Not wanting to cry in front of Eric, however, who witnessed many a drunken sobfest last year, I said "I want to throw things." He found me things to throw. They included: a cracked glass. Two overripe avocadoes. An empty bottle of bleach. Finally, a breadmaker that we've been waiting (read: proscrastinating) to get rid of. Being good citizens, we cleaned it up.

I'm loving fall and tights and hugs and sushi and dancing and friends and theatre and embracing my emotional rollercoaster. I'm loving good new music and burritos and bowling and friend dates and talking about farting and sharing giant eggplants and playing hangman in bars and getting A+s and teaching my class and getting involved and two hour interviews and being told I'm bubbly and being called sweet (ha!). I'm loving crying all the time, mostly due to Grey's Anatomy. I'm loving making funny faces and sharing moments with strangers and trusting my abilities and being nervous and being excited and clothing swaps and sleepovers and clean bedrooms and having people wonder about me.

Someone told me something that was very, very important to me. I don't think they realize how important it was. I wish they hadn't said it, because it's going to mean a fall. I can take it. I can take anything, really. Life is just a funny time.

My parents came up to visit. We had a lovely dinner, then I said "what do you want to do tonight?". Mom said go to a jazz club. We don't think she was serious. Then I went and grabbed a copy of the Mirror and went through what's up in the city. Not a whole lot for me and the parents to do this weekend, unless we wanted to go to a latex show...

So I looked at the movie listings. I read all the ones that were at the two theatres nearby. I jokingly said "Snakes on a Plane."

"That one!" said mom.

"Yeah, right, " said me.

"No, I really want to see that."

So we did. My father who has always been terrified of snakes, and who is a pilot, was not too impressed. I spend most of the movie biting my finger until it nearly bled. It was memorable. Surprisingly. That is all.
