h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I went to kickboxing last night and had a great class. The teacher is excellent on Mondays (write that down). He combines lots of activity with a lot of technique work. Just when you think you're too tired to go on, you stop to do slow drills, and just when you're bored with the drills you're back to running around and using your muscles. I really had a good time.

So I'm walking home listening to my walkman and they have all these british bands playing and I suddenly realize just how angry I am. Just how much I wanted to live in London and how crappy it is that I would meet Andy and then lose him. I was walking along just crazily tense and I was SO angry.

When I got home, there was a message on my answering machine. Basically, it was incredibly sweet and had the phone number of the hotel in Italy where he's staying and involved lots of "I love you"s and kisses into the phone. About 2 seconds into the message I started to cry hysterically and couldn't stop for a half an hour or so. I don't even really know why I was crying. I don't even know how I'm feeling.

It's like, he always calls. Whenever I decide that he's probably never going to speak to me again, he does. Whenever I decide that he doesn't care, he goes and proves it to me on his own. It's my own neurosis that is convinced he's gone forever. He didn't even leave forever after he told me he was leaving forever, for God's sake, much less when he hasn't said anything about leaving. The thing is, just when I start to actually deal with the fact that we're going to split, we don't. I'm all hopefull again which is a very difficult place to be in. I'm making people crazy saying the same thing over and over again, but Andy and I keep drifting back and forth and I'm just as sure it's over one minute as I am that it will last forever the next.

I'm also just really tired. All this exercising is great for the body, but it exhausts me, and it will until I'm really back in shape. Anyhow, I'm all happy again today and I really wish it wasn't because Andy called last night, but of course it is.

I'll just hang out over here in limbo for the next year or so. How'll that be? Right then.

I'll get the swizzle sticks. You know you need them. There's a whole lot of swizzling to be had...

*goes gets them*

*swizzles a bit*

What'd I tell you?

You know, I can't think of two people in this world I would rather swizzle with. Do we have alkehol to go with that swizzle?

I'm smoking again. It sucks, and I'll stop soon, but right now it's eat, drink, or smoke...and since two of those make you fat....

TA DA!!! *takes a drag*

If there's some alkehol around, I'd like to swizzle and smoke and stuff with the cool kids. *sits around trying to be cool*

Your feet are muddy.

Can you be cool with muddy feet?

I think muddy feet can be cool...

Can I swizzle too?

*smile*

Actually, I think Krissy just smoked the last swizzle stick.

Y. YSD.

I'll go get some more.
*goes gets some more*

*screams in translation*

YES! YES SHE DID!!

*stomps around and waits for bubster to get back with more swizzles*

Of course you can swizzle with us.

*arrives back, all swizzled up with his swizzle on swizzling like there's no tomorrow*

*tries to swizzle, trips and falls*

I'm not so good at this whole swizzle thing...

*picks SB up and shoves him around a bit* No no no.. you have to get your hips into it if you really want to swizzle right. *gets her hips into it*

You know, I bet I could win a swizzling championship, I bet.

Hey.. this is fun

*swizzles with plenty o' hip in it*

You sure this is legal?

Don't ask silly questions. If it was illegal, don't you think I'd tell you??

*whistles and looks around*

oh.. ok...
I trust you completely....

*whistles and looks around too*

*gets attacked by the cops and beaten into submission for Dangerous Swivelling Without a License*

*swizzles meekly* I...I...

Um...

Where's the...um....wher--where's the alkeyhol?

*runs in with the alkehol*

HERE IT IS HERE IT IS!!

*looks around for those cops*

DO you uh- have some you know-um swizzle sticks??

*looks around for cops*
