It's raining in Toronto, and the actual title I thought of before this one was "Sleepless in Toronto". Not even I can be that lame.
So I got to 18 days before it was all gonna happen and of course, I found out today Vienna isn't actually coming here. It's not his fault. It just seems like everything I touch turns into bad luck for the other guy, so all you men out there, stay away from me, because if you decide you like me, I will jinx your life. Not on purpose of course, I never mean to harm anyone. I've just always had bad luck, even when I wasn't allowed to believe in it. And it rubs off, so you've been warned.
Maybe that's why I always have a thing for the guys who are already messed up and don't have their shit together. What's the worst I can do to an Irish or a 27? Not hurt them or make their lives worse.
My Buddha is still laughing at me, but more reproachful tonight than usual because he thinks I'm being a defeatist and I should just suck it up and laugh with him at life's little quirks and injustices. But maybe Bruce Willis really has it right and when we're feeling like this we should all just steal a helicopter or jump off an exploding building and say our catch phrase, because when Bruce Willis does that, everything ends up ok in the end, no matter how much of a mess he made along the way.
Ok you got me. I have a weird, geeky crush on Bruce Willis. And now it's thunder and lightning in TO. My dad will be here in a few days. I haven't seen him in a very long time, although it never really feels like that.
And don't worry - I'm fine. I finished my 5th paper for school in the last week tonight and I am DONE. Going to take a break and be a normal person who only has a demanding job but doesn't moonlight as a university kid. Too bad Dexter's not back yet and the Walking Dead is over so I could have some down time, but I've recently discovered Californication and one bad-ass show can be as intriguing as the next one. I secretly wonder when I watch it though if all writers are just messed up. If so, is there any hope for us finding redemption? I hope.
well you may THINK you're a jinx but what you really are is NOT boring!! And that, dear fellow writer, is the base requirement of all great writers!! Keep up the great work! :)
