No Rain Clouds Here

I've become a total procrastinator over the past year. The bad habit kind of snuck up on me. I never used to be like that. Oh well, I'll do something about it tomorrow.

I went to the bday bbq last night and it was nothing special, I hate to say. First of all, Habs wanted to leave soon as it got dark b/c she was bored as hell. I agree it was slightly boring but she was being wet rag. She had her arms crossed for most of the time that I could remember. Anyway, I took several pictures. Only a few came out well. I still have to figure out how to operate my camera for night shots. K man and I took great pics. He knows how to pose.

Despite the event being quite dull, I came home later than I expected. I dropped Habs off and then I dropped J off but not until he gave me the Harris Burdick portfolio edition of the pictures. They were AMAZING. I'm going to buy 15 frames to put them in and then I'm going to hang them up somewhere. They are really breathtaking.

Jordan couldn't make it which was just as well b/c he probably would've been bored as well. But he did say he wanted to set a date for us to get together which is wonderful. I haven't seen him for a few years now besides his pictures on facebook.

I was browsing through the pics of my friends on facebook and I have to say, Amen and his girlfriend make such a sweet couple. I met her only once at the festival.

Which reminds me, Habs seriously has the hots for Haiat's cousin. I took a great picture with him in one photo and put it up on facebook. She says she melts every time she sees it. She's funny. I know this is such a "Marilyn" but I'm seeing what she's seeing and would love to get to know him myself. Not that I'd do anything underhanded or downright despicable, but what's the harm in getting to know him for myself? I'm not breaking girl-code 101, am I? I guess if I have to ask...

My plans to go to the Taste of Danforth didn't happen b/c it started pouring. Haiat went though and then she and someone else went to watch a movie. Her record still stands (she goes to the festival every year). I really wanted to go. I hate staying in on a weekend these days.

I just paid for last week's parking ticket, finally. Next I have to mail out the stupid money order to TDSB and probably some floating forms. Come to think of it, I've got quite a bit to do in the morning, let me just make a quick rundown:

-call TDSB and inquire about my ETL status
-check for updates on TDSB websites for occasional listings
-call the number J gave me for that school for potential employment opportunity
-call the number Habs gave me for another school
-call OCT to inquire about the AQ update (this is a weird one--it's been 2 months and it's still not updated)

...

Oh geez, I'm such a goof. I just got off the phone with Jordan and the whole time, I kept calling him Justin, right through the end. What a loser I am! He kept saying to me, who is this Justin character? An ex-boyfriend? He's so funny. Well, turns out he's got a pretty busy week and weekend; some friends of his are coming down from England this week and only staying a week so he wants to spend time with them.

Anyway, I'm going to get those things done in the morning, hopefully if I sleep early enough and wake up early enough.

Here's something quirky that just happened earlier this afternoon at work. I was wearing one of my new hot tops and Resan says to me after class when the others have left "That's a nice top, miss." How sweet, but I know what's going on here. I'm not naive. There's been an obvious heat between us from day one. I can only admit this here. One thing is for sure, it won't ever escalate to anything more than this.

It was nice dressing up for work for a change. I was wearing a dark-washed denim jeans with a crossover top (I think that's what you call it) and black shoes with kitten heels. I only actually dressed like that with the intention of going straight to the danforth festival so I wouldn't waste time changing clothes. I liked all the compliments I got. I should be the hot teacher more often.

Did you notice there was no mention of Fil anywhere? It's getting easier, especially after the stint he pulled Friday night. I had called him before midnight and left him a msg. He called me back at 1.45 am. He knows very well that I have work the next day. As we talked, I noticed he was quite loud, callous and behaving like the male equivalent of a ditz. He didn't have to tell me that he had a few drinks, it was obvious. Apparently, after his meeting with the youth group members, they went to a club I think and afterwards, he took the bus home. He told me he also had a bbq to go to the next day and was likely to go clubbing afterwards. Then on Sunday, he had soccer practice. My friends' voice is echoing in my head "Get to know him better." That was good advice. Boy, was I eager to paint him something beautiful or what? I spoke too soon when I said he was perfect. He's definitely not what I hoped he would be.

It's too soon to say that I'm over him. I do want to see how this plays out but with a newfound patience, perspective and a whole lotta control.
