confession: I stopped by a jewlery counter today to look for a gold celtic cross for my b-day, and ended up trying on emerald-cut diamond rings instead. ironic that they were all too big for my kid-sized fingers, but ohhhhh....

I passed up a chance to see him play when I was in college too, so don't feel too bad, cocl. It's one of the things I regret not doing.

that's probably concert #2 that i regret not seeing.

the first is en vogue. i was in 5th grade, and it was on a school night, and i was tired. no 10 year old should be that tired/nerdy.

I broke down crying on the way home from work because of stress and feeling very isolated from everyone else who is here.

I'm worried this means I'm not cut out for this field.

I loved Wesley Willis. I got a head but from him... Let's see the drawing.

Confession: I'm finally considering moving on my own out west. This scares the shit out of me.

Confession: I just spent ten minutes at work catching up on the arguments in the busting trolls thread, and really wished I had a big bowl of popcorn. It feels so wrong, but I'm really entertained by articulate people arguing.

He's the best! Humanist that is an awesome story. Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!

right now the only digital camera i have is on my phone and since this is a large piece I don't think it will do it justice . I will get on it.

I am just so proud to own it!

Hubby and I bought it as our 8th anniversary present to ourselves on a whim . we were out to dinner and there was a gallery next door. It's a gallery I am familiar with we went in and I asked if he had any Wesley Willis, he did, hubby talked him down. We put a down payment in June and after getting it matted and framed it's now on the wall. Thank goodness for art layaway! It was also our first serious "AHHRRT" purchase as a couple.

the next step is to get light for it. so gorgeous. I have wanted a piece of his for a long time. Yeah!

I like Wesley Willis too. "I'm Sorry That I Got Fat" is one of my favorite songs ever. We have to see your picture, missladyj.

aww, Wesley Willis. My ex later became an EMT, and when Wesley had a heart attack before he died, he got to go pick him up in the ambulance. When they were taking off for the hospital, Wesley hollered from the back "Let's get this rock-n-roll ambulance on the road!"

The ex also said he kept a copy of the death certificate : (

the one thing I really regret is not paying attention in Chemistry in high school. If I had, maybe I could have done something else and not ended up as a miserable coot at my job.

I just downloaded a bunch of classic rock on itunes because I wanted to hear something along the lines of musical comfort food.

Plus, AZ Guy didn't like classic rock, so in some ways, this is helping me get over him. Come to think of it, a lot of my musical choices in the past few months have revolved around AZ Guy not liking the band or the genre.

I fear that when he gets better, I'll be there standing beside him being introduced as his best friend, not his lover. It will destroy me.

I'm having recollections of sick shit that I allowed to happen to me when I was a teenager. I'd rather not relive it in my head. But for some reason, it keeps popping up, and I have NOBODY to talk to about it. I don't even know if I want to talk about it. I feel dirty and I wanna go take another shower just thinking about it.
