i just messed up my system. i stayed up late monday night for the floetry/erykah badu concert, tuesday night playing pool at q's, wednesday night at the roots/erykah badu concert, thursday night for a birthday dinner, and now i'm stuck with a nasty cold. i know, my fault. ahhh, but it was all worth it.

you think i'd be sleeping right now but i can't. i got off the phone not to long ago with my best friend from high school. i haven't seen or spoken to joanie since her wedding 3 years ago and yet we were able to pick up right where we left off. man, i found out so much stuff - including a little secret she shared with alex (alex, call me back you fartface! i have something to ask you). my throat's all dry from talking for over 3 hours. we made plans of hanging out again since she's kinda in that marriage routine and wants to get out of the house. i miss her.

anyway, i found a new concert buddy - yay, duane! i'm glad he was able to join me for the 2 concerts. i found out we have the same taste in music, among other things. that was actually the first time i got to hang out with him one on one and it was like i had known him for a long time. i guess i'm just comfortable around him. he's cool people. i could see myself inviting him over to family parties.

valentine's day shmalentine's day. bite me. i wish the day never existed. jorell and i will be going shopping. what are you doing?
