Pillow Talk
I had a conversation last night with a friend about men and women, and how we've lost a sense of how to interact with one another. Well, that's not how it started, but that's what we eventually got to. The changing dynamic of who's responsible for what as far as how the world works has led to some confusion in both men and women. It's been put this way: men have forgotten to be men... that didn't lead to a discussion of what it is to be a man, since that conversation would've taken far more time than I was willing to devote to talking. The point is that all the big talk of equality and rights and double standards and oppression, etc, has left the average person adrift when it comes to talking to the opposite sex. Can the internet be used to get men and women to communicate again? Are the little things we say in comments on pages and in chat rooms the first steps to making it safe to say, "hi, you seem intelligent and attractive, let's discuss the upcoming presidential election further?" Or is the point of all of this technology to help us into the World Wide Bed?

This is why I am who I am:
I've been using Serendipity Chick as a nickname for a little while, and now, dictionary.com has finally made it make sense... today's word of the day is:
serendipity \ser-uhn-DIP-uh-tee\, noun:
The faculty or phenomenon of making fortunate accidental discoveries.
The word serendipity was formed by English author Horace Walpole (1717-1797) from Serendip (also Serendib), an old name for Sri Lanka, in reference to a Persian tale, The Three Princes of Serendip, whose heroes "discovered, quite unexpectedly, great and wonderful good in the most unlikely of situations, places and people."

Off to the races!
Yes, folks, that's right, I am packing a bag to go to Port Huron tomorrow for the boat races from there to Mackinac. I am getting so excited! The whole city of Port Huron has been one big party for the past couple days, and will keep going until Saturday, when we check out & return to civilization. The return trip will get me home in time for my niece's graduation party, we're all very proud of her, and also sad because she'll be going into the Marines in January and she'll be missed like crazy. Depending on how long that goes, and it may continue well into the wee hours, I'm also thinking of going out to Gibraltar North for the outdoor carnival thing that's held there, first to get my Tilt-A-Whirl fix, second because the Rockstar's running sound for the same band he did last weekend, so there's a possibility for tomfoolery!

The Storm Continues
I've been awake since around 4:45am, after a weird day of recovery sleep from this past weekend. Every dream I've had in the past few days has been slightly bizarre, including the one about powdered sugar doughnuts and a marquee sign written in Spanish. My mind is all over the place, racing from things I still need to pack up and move out of my ex's house, to work that still needs to be done on the HP house, to the guy I met Saturday night, to what I'm going to do this week as far as the new job with the concierge service, to all the phone calls I need to make, etc. It's normal for me to live in a state of hurricane, but lately the windspeeds have increased exponentially. It's lucky that I have a lot of people here to help me keep it all together, even when I don't come right out and ask, and especially when I do.
This Wednesday and Thursday I'm going to the boat races in Port Huron to assist the Lovely & Talented Megs; selling band t-shirts, ferrying drinks, lining up requests for her autograph, whatever she needs, in order for me to get a break and her to have some company up there instead of just the boys in the band. There's the possibility for adventure and excitement, who knows what might happen?

Moving Right Along
OK, so the house in the HP still isn't technically ready, but a majority of my belongings are in storage there. I'll be working there with the Rockstar this week to get things done so that by next Friday at the latest, I'll be pretty much 90% moved. The Ex is not pleased with the schedule, but he's being somewhat appreciative in that while I'm still at his house I'm taking care of our son, cleaning, and running loads of laundry and dishes. Plus ca change, plus ca meme, oui?
Over the past week, I got to hear Meg & Tony at the Oak Street Grill, which was swell, but I got a ticket for unneccessary noise for squealing my tires around a corner in Royal Joke. The officer could've made it a worse ticket, adding on that I was speeding, but he didn't - my problem is that I have no idea how much the infraction costs, so I can't send in a check to cover the fine without calling the court. I'm not going to fight the ticket, I know I was driving obnoxiously, but I'd appreciate being able to just pay it and be done.
The weekend began with another night of going to see 7venth Son, at Augie's, home of my purse-puking incident a few weeks back. This particular night some guy was celebrating his birthday, and by the end of the night, he was kissing my ear, giving me a neckrub, and carrying on a bit. Unfortunately, he was also wearing a hat that the waitresses had made for him out of 6 or 7 balloons, and lives over 50 miles away. Instead, I followed through on my plans to crash on Meg's couch, drop a load of stuff at the HPH, and made it back to Redford before noon.
Today I'm trying to clean up a few things for work, get more belongings packed, and get a handle on my paperwork and finances. I finished watching "Y Tu Mama, Tambien", finally, and it's possible I'll find time to catch up on my comics that I've had piling up for months now. Busy, busy, busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Since talking to Skippy last night, I was reminded that I'm actually pretty much on track with how I handle things in life, i.e., assess the situation, bounce ideas off of a few people, then jump in with both feet!
