where's the rest of this moose?
you must have hated this moose
so i got trixie up and running again. everything is normal, except she currently doesn't have an on ramp to the information super highway. you'll know it when it happens because your connection will suddenly slow down. not that i would ever expect a computer to do to the internet what the box says it can do. even if it doesn't say it can do it all at once. so in getting her set up i only hit a couple of snags. the first was the speakers not working. that was fixed by the first rule of electronic repair. plug the shit in. the other is a major annoyance. i left my super cool and functional power strip from hell in boston. or atleast i think i did. that was the last time i saw it. pillows are cheap (just like you, ya whore*) and easy to replace but that thing is too cool to do with out. too bad i am going to have to. but that was par for the trip.

mama2jude, i am not talking about you here

so when i said something was eating at me, i completely under estimated the situation. i am not saying that i had a bad weekend or that my hosts were anything but kind. i am just saying i got all fucked up. i knew ahead of time that it was going to be a rough trip because it was a goodbye. i am figuring that it will be the last time i see
mama2jude and her famous husband. if i get my shit together it might happen again but we'll have to wait and see. now les go over what was bothering me, as far as i can tell.
i left late so i ended up having to putter along in ny and conn rush hour traffic. in the rain. this ended up putting me at least an hour behind schedule.
on the way there i got a flat. about halfwy down my stint on the asspipe (mass pike) the tread flew off the front passanger side tire. i got so pissed that i busted the hemotite ring off my finger when i slammed the car door. even more lateness.
so as i was approaching harvard sqaure i came to another bad moment. i hadn't mapped it to their house so i had to call and find out where exactly i was going. we got it figured out well enough that i could at least get close. it was roads i knew, so i figured it would be no problem at all. luckily i was not lost that long.
once i found a road that could get me where i wanted to go, i realized what it was. it was the road ss and i walked, usually in the snow or rain, to play video games and such. so i figured i might as well find out how far it was. sometimes the walk seemed to take forever. other times it seemed like nothing at all. turns out it is just over for miles. and right past where i got my thanksgiving scar.
i ended up staying up later than planned, but i figured i would be having a child wake me up. kind of looking forward to it. because i woke up so late i ended up getting almost nothing done that i wanted to. this held true for the whole trip basically.
i believe it was friday, but the show came up during one of the conversations. then mention of that being the main reason i made the trip. it was one of the few things i got done, but spending time with friends was the most important reason. i can see how the understanding happened but please do not ever think it is more important than true friends. any of you.
after the show i went walking around harvard square. had to get a couple of copies of the pheonix and such. and see what had changed. that whole area changes too quickly for me. find a place you like and then all of a sudden it is gone. but the hotel was still there. just most of the people i knew where not any more. and the stars were all staying somewhere else.
sunday was the one day i woke up at a descent hour. like noonish. called cliffo after i got my act together. he ended up having to hand me off so that i could get direction. in giving me directions to the crossover point we were able to cut it short. no sense in a pointless trip to davis square.
once i got there it felt really weird. the first thing cliff did was walk up and give me a hug. i am not being comfortable being touched and the situation did not make it any easier. it was nice talking to him, even if there will never be enough time to finish our debate. i got some pictures of him and his woman but they look like crap.
we ended up going to the mayfair in harvard square so that i could get some freebies for pandy. while we were walking around i started feeling like i was at a much smaller version of the arts festivel. maybe i was missing that. i was a little surprised when cliff brought that up as well. large cramped groups of people are not my best enviroment.
i could have spent quite a bit of money but actually refrained from doing so quite well. i bought something like five cd's and a t-shirt. the t-shirt was from amnesty international since the one i have is about eight years old and looking pretty ragged. the only cd i can remember was a 3" cd single of wham's careless whispers. the only reason i remember this is because he was mocking the choice. a band i have listened to since i was [shit, math] 14 or so. i like the song. i like 3" cd singles. i like what i like and i am not going to defend it.
there was a slightly awkward moment before we left as both of us were on the phone to our others. click, click, and down the street with out any jokes. while on the bus back to his place i ended up getting really nausious. once back i had to lay down because i was about to throw up. don't know what caused it but it kicked my ass. i stayed there passed out for like three hours. sorry to impose but it's not like i could control it.
the next twenty four hour were spent mostly sleeping, ripping cd's, and crying. i tried to tell people something was going on but i had no idea what it was. i was actually just about done when jude's famous parents came in to tell me they were off to bed. i explained that i was getting ready to leave but saw they doubt. i gave her the case holding her cd's and she gave it and me a look and a smirk that i still do not understand. i was gone within 30 to 45 minutes.
when i went to give
mama2jude a hug goodbye. i lost it. i still didn't know what the problem was but it was getting worse now. i tried explaining that i was sorry i was such a lousy guest. that i wanted to tell her i hope she had a happy life because i never expect to see her again. talk yes, see no. then she backed away from me and gave me a smile. the type that was suppose to say that it will all be ok someday. hopefully, it will be for her.
and a couple of other problems that repeated. i never took my video camera out of the bag. i did not take near enough pictures. and jude never got comfortable enough with me to come over to me. i know kids are like that but i have never had one do it to me. probably because i did not spend enough time talking to my hosts. my friends.
this was not everything that happened. there wass good stuff too. i think. maybe that will be another post. i know it is not all of the stuff that was bothering me. there was just so much that i know i forgot something. or several things. and i owe a very special thanks to a very special person who reached through the biting and dragged it out for me to take a look at. yes, i bite.

5. We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then sometimes things get worse.
6. No one is listening until you make a mistake.

11. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
12. If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
13. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it.
14. Never mess up an apology with an excuse.
15. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
