SUCH a nice night. rehearsal went well, thad and christine showed up for the last half hour, then we went and had a drink and it was highly enjoyable.
a few drinks. i, personally, had three.
2006, i’m telling you, is going to be a GOOD year.
2005, not so great. not so good.
kind of bad. bad-ish. full of some badness.
2006, gonna be MUCH MUCH BETTER.
christine and i got home and she realized she’d left her bags in thad’s car. so we met him at the jewel parking lot, it felt like a drug deal. we loaded her bags into my car and went home, and it’s good to be in bed right now.
sleep, such an excellent thing.
tomorrow, we’re going to the ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENTIAL MUSEUM. such a fun thing to look forward to. can’t wait. looking forward to it. a lot.
today a friend told another friend that i’m so much DARKER in writing than in real life. so, what’s the reality? i guess both. both. i mean, i can feel pretty good…but then again, i can also smile and say things are fine, but of course that’s not really what’s going on.
but i’ve discussed this before, haven’t i? i mean, isn’t this how everybody operates? except children, who say exactly what’s on their mind. no holds barred.
so this is kind of like being a child, i guess, no holds barred.
except also, i think that i somehow have a tendency to express things that are perhaps not quite as sunny here. just because. UNcensored. except for all the self-censoring i do.
so i guess the UNcensored part is the part of me that expresses more of what i feel, really and truly.
three glasses of red wine tonight. at least i didn’t have four. because then i probably would have just gotten sad and overly-tired and things would have gotten ugly.
goodnight.
tomorrow, nothing but good times.
ok then,
grace SO CLOSE TO THE NEW YEAR.
