Manky's Agenda: October 8th, 1999

I am just a huge blob of utter emotion right now. I don't exactly know what's going on inside of me. It's so wierd. Yeah, my life's been a tid-bit topsy-turvy (didn't think I'd use to hyphens in one sentence, did ya?) lately but really I think I'm handling it.

there's more where that came from...

Strangest thing today though. Doesn't seem to matter what I start to talk or even just think about, and I get all busted up inside. That tingly feeling in your face, and around your eyes as they phisically try to well up. Luckily, I haven't actually bawled yet... I did enough of that last night!

Last night went well! Hood River won the game, 2nd miracle in a row! I got to hang out with Rosie (Hey girl, if you're out there... let me know when you get a site up again! I'll hook you up!) a bunch! Then Matt, Ryan, Jenny, Traci, and others.. it was interesting as always! Canela and Ruby had another run in with the rumor mill. Maybe these HRVHS and HRMS youngsters need to watch Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed! The conclusions and accusations were outrageous as usual, but they are strong in who they are, so they're handling it well under the circumstances.

After the game we decided to go to Bellus' house to hang, rather than Shari's. Along the way, I hit a detour. I ended up having an amazing conversation with a friend that was a long time coming. I was able to vent, share, hear, and understand. All that stuff I had jumble up inside of me came just rushing out. Kinda scared me at first, I had no idea all that was in there. God chose the time and place, believe you me... I certainly wouldn't have chosen then nor there! It was intense for me at least, but relieving and comforting.

We finally made it to Bellus' house around quarter to 11. Traci was about to leave, but Jenny and Ryan were still there and hung around with us until about 11:30. As we were leaving, Ed spotted my Taco Bell cup in my car and said, "Chalupa!" Rosie works down at Taco Bell so we went off on a conversation on Chalupas. What they are, how their made, how totally wonderful and awesome they are (in my opinion, Ed's never had one), etc. Rosie recomended we go down and get some. So we were off!

We sat in the drive through for quite a while, Ed making faces at the non-responsive talk box. Finally we decided to drive straight up to the window. Ed eagerly knocks on the window, and someone comes out only to say they've closed early and all they could offer us was like beans and lettuce! I don't think so. Hunger was rampant by this time, so Ed invited us to Shari's.

We ate dinner (if you can still call it that at midnight!) Ed paid for us both, and left Lydia a big tip (like she so often deserves!) Woo Hoo! Leaving I realized all the preperation that needed to be done still for tonight, so I invited (or rather asked) Ed to come with us to help.

Back at my place Rosie and I worked on putting away dishes, peeling potatoes, making cheesecake, and singing since Ed couldn't get any music playing. Eventually he joined in for the milanesa making process. By 1:58am we were done, and headed for bed. Rosie spent the night, Ed went home, and we all crashed immediately I'm sure! All in all I'd say it was an eventful evening, don't you think?

...enough already!
