TINY PIECES

Yeah, I'm pickin' em up today. But before I go there, I wanna say thank you from the bottom of my achy breaky heart to all of you in my little circle here that I've come to love and rely on. I originally thought it was kind of funny that (if you notice), with the exception of Simon, I chased away all my male readers with this "Oooooh, Scary Female Stuff!" posting. But I have since been consoled and reassured by just about everybody either through email or IM. What a great bunch of friends I've made here. I wish I could get you all in a room together so we could all have a group hug. Am I making you gag yet? Oh, and what do we think this says about Simon and the size of his testic- um... heart?

*Sound of large sigh being heaved* I feel about 63% better. What my sister (The Greatest Aunt) said in yesterday's comments really made sense and I feel less like I had a breakdown and more like I was performing necessary maintenance. And I was holding a lot in and it did need to come out. Was just really scary when I couldn't calm down. I'm not good when I'm not in control.

Are we all like that? What made this odd for me is that normally I don't turn to other people for help with problems. I'm not even sure why I posted about the whole ordeal. I think it was a combination of thinking "This is my damn diary and I'll write what I want" and "Gee, I wonder what would happen if I got REALLY personal on my blog?". In actuality though, I think it was probably just home-fried desperation. At any rate I feel better. And I learned a little something too, and it's that you (I) don't have to hold things in and (try to) deal with them by your(my)self. See, a girl is never too old to learn shit. Just to wear short skirts and a bikini chain. ;-)

I need not remind you to take time today to honor the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. in whatever respect you see fit. He made the world a better place for us all.
