about last night

i feel...

i feel that there are many people driving me crazy today. specifically in this office.

specifically the usual suspect, miss sally sue, who simply could not deign to join the entire rest of the office to catch my 7pm show. i don't know why this bothers me so. partially, i suppose because all my friends had express permission to be mean to her, and i kind of wanted to see her subjected to that. because they fight dirty and i'm a bitch. partially because i wanted to believe somewhere in my deep heart of hearts that maybe, just maybe i wasn't being too hard on her, that she wasn't intentionally rebuffing every overture of friendship i've made to her. unfortunately, i now know that i am unlikely to be proven wrong. which is too bad.

specifically, our mystery guest, who is fawning over the former distraction in a truly icksome way. he's been a bit on the defensive since last night, likely because i was flirting with the bartender. and the word around the campfire is that he is, in fact, terribly fond of both sally sue and myself. and if he has eyes, he's probably noticed that she and i do not get on well. thus, i think he's proving some sort of point, or at least attempting to.

anyway. whatever. these people can bite me sideways as a general thing.

in other news, i had a lovely day yesterday. my show...certainly left something to be desired. i was ultra paranoid about this one string that kept going flat. and incredibly flustered because right before i went onstage, one of my tuning pegs absolutely positively died. which was alarming. nothing like getting your final practice on to find out that your top string will not hold anything resembling tune, and is in fact about to unravel itself and fall off. whoops. thank goodness The Man was there to repair it for me. that, however, basically freaked me out, and as such the show didn't feel all that good; i never really relaxed. which makes it okay that i am not, actually, going to get a super duper recording of it. because the guy in charge of that particular event never showed up. yeah. but, there was a wonderful cast of characters that made it out to the show, which always makes me happy. unfortunately, most of them had to hightail it out of there posthaste, but i was able to muster a small crew to hit my favorite manhattan bar, where i got quite a few drinks for a disgracefully small amount of money (as did my sister, because cutebartender found her "lovely." this in turn led her to believe that he has designs on me. i'm not so sure. although...)

and speaking of making me happy...i found an old friend yesterday. and she came out drinking. it was sweet.

so, all in all, a good birthday, though made slightly stalemate by my night horrors.

though would be made so much better if i could just whack sally sue a good one. one good bitchslap right across the kisser and i would be pleased as punch. yeah.
