I’m Dancing in My Chair
I found this cd, Citizen Cope, the Clarence Greenwood Recordings from a rolling stone article about artists to watch for a few years back. I listened to the cd so much that I ended up scratching it somehow, and didn’t get to replace it until last night, when I got it and his newer one. I haven’t listened to the new one because the old one is sooo good that I literally am dancing in my chair. It’s like summertime, perpetual sundowns and dawns alike, with a big porch swings and jack daniels and lemonade.
It is just that sexy. I am not joking. I am one of those people who does like to multi task and write while listening to music, because it seems to egg on the mood, the soundtrack if you will, of whatever I am trying to convey at any given time.
So I am about to start writing my essay about why going back to school to get an education is now important to me, and I hooked this cd up. It does remind of crisp fall, taking the light rail to M lounge, where I would pour the mad drinks to the old men and various other folk who would come in, working the fryalotor (or however you spell it) making buffalo wings and cheese steaks (I make a mean cheese steak, kids) and hanging out. That bar had a certain old man smell that maybe I could only appreciate. But it was a good job, made some cash, low stress. Until they let me go right before Christmas a few years back…not enough money for the owners to get their kids presents, so they decided to ruin mine instead.
Anyways, I wanted to re-clarify to people, especially to my friends w/ Marfan’s, that I am never ever offended by the words of others. Opinions and advice to me are never harsh unless they were written with ill intent. And I have never felt that that was the case, even for a moment, so please don’t censor yourselves–
That was my way of answering to recent posts because I don’t have the energy to revisit and answer people specifically.
But this brings me to the topic at hand.
My birthday is next Saturday, rocktober 21, and I am going to be 30. An age I never thought I would make it to, and many people in the medical field also thought it a questionable reality.
So I want cards people. Or a small letter. Or something cool that you think I might enjoy. I know we are all lazy people who don’t like going to the post office. But I am a nice girl and you will get a thank you note in gratitude, so just think of it as a way to bank on having a day when the mail comes and there is not only a bill inside. Those days are rare, which is why I have a million magazine subscriptions.
And yeah, I do plan on having some gathering of sorts on Saturday, so I will be e-viting local kids to hold the time frame even though I don’t know where I might be having this thing. But mail is still good…
Pretty pretty please?
Psssst. Leolo is my favorite movie ever and I couldn’t find it on dvd for years….
FRANCISSSSS: I am sending you a birthday present, obviously. Tell me: what do you want for your birthday? 🙂
Love,
Friskalicious
XO
errrrrr
Goodness Francis. I hadn’t thought of *actual presents*.
I will go log on to Amazon and re-update my wishlist.
I will link it once I am done. Franks Franthith.
I hope your teef are feeling better.
🙂
Re: errrrrr
Yay! I was actually just PERUSING your Amazon.com list, but then I realized that it was not up-to-date and I became dismayed. Please do link to it once it’s all fancy and ready. 🙂
My tooth is better, but unfortunately the dentist managed to injure my jaw muscle when he violently and swiftly rammed the novacaine needle in there (two separate times), so I can barely open my mouth and am often in oral agony. Tuesday is the actual root canal. How homo…
Re: errrrrr
Francis:
You will get 3 separate packages for your birthday. But they will only ship around October 18th and will take 4-14 days to arrive, so they won’t get there until after your birthday. But they will get there.
Love,
Francis. XO
Re: errrrrr
jimminy crickets francis!!!!
I love presents!
Yayayayayay!
***hug*** 😀 I am gonna copy some cds for you today, and get them out in the mail. 🙂
yayayay!
Oh this I am excited for…music !!!!
Thanks, Jho!!!
I will send you a card – I’m a little poor for presents right now with my hospital bills (damn heart). But I also wanted to say, “My Sister’s Keeper” ROCKED. DAMN was that a good story. Someone better send you that, it frickin’ rocked.
Ok, I’m going to bed now.
ohhh fannnccyyyyyyyy
Oh the excitement to get a card! I don’t need presents but Francine reminded me people might want to send a gesture instead of taking the time.
I’m an idiot. Did I put that book on my list, or should I?
Sorry about the bills, I’ve got the same. I’ve been throwing mine away since I moved here though. When you get three bills totaling 27 grand even with insurance, the tendency is to chuck them I think. Then again, those were the ones I just received over the past few months. There are more before. I am afraid to get my credit report because my shit is so out of control.
😉 Thank you, though! You rule!
Re: ohhh fannnccyyyyyyyy
You did put it on your list, and it’s a good choice. I only wish I could send it to you. 🙂
Your card is in the mail.
Wanna do a four way?
Brian and two of our friends are having a Birthday that week too, and were thinking of celebrating somewhere, sometime on the day of your Birth. Would you be down for one big gathering? Let us know, and if you get an idea for where to have it let us know that too. We’re even considering just using our place but don’t if ppl would be into that.
Re: Wanna do a four way?
heylo miss,
I am an idiot and forgot all about your proposition. But I am selfish anyways and I figure hey, it’s mah birthday and its special to me, so I don’t wanna share.
I am brat maybe. But yeah, I am doing something on Splaturday night. The place isn’t confirmed yet, but I am working on it. Obviously I know that you might have previous engagements on this day but I am adding you to my list anyways.
Be good.
Happy Birthday, girl!
yayyyyyy
Thanks, Doctorio! It was great. I will write about it later.
<3
