Intro Post

Hi ya'll! I’ve added several new friends lately, so I figured I’d give a bit of journal introduction.

My name is Anita, and this is my journal. It’s my entire journal, I don’t post anywhere else any more, and I don’t even GO much of anywhere else any more, web-wise. You should know that I differentiate real life from email/internet/phone/snail-mail only contact. I don't make web-friends and real-friends be SEPARATE, I merely identify them differently to keep them straight in my head.  It’s nothing personal, it’s simply the way I compartmentalize my life. Keeps me sane, so leave it be please.

I love my Live Journal, and I love my friends here. I’ve met some AWESOME people here, and a few who weren’t so awesome, and some who are now mere memories. I’ve got a best friend in real life whom I met here through an LJ friend that neither of us speak to now. Betcha can’t guess who my best friend is, based solely on the last five posts.

I have widely eclectic entries, I make occasional/frequent LOLcat posts, and gratuitous icon posts. I don’t normally post as many photos as you see in the last few posts, but when I have ‘em, I post ‘em.

This is about me.  )

Characters in this journal include: The Boyfriend )

The daughter. Scarlett )

The baby daddy.   Meet the asshat )
Side note: ECKO Red leather tennis shoes for $70 and Coach purses that were practically free make her father pissed, which tickles me TO NO END! Why? Because he’s a former WalMart employee who still shops there. And I fucking hate WalMart because of the way they treat their employees, and refuse to shop there. Do you see where this is going? Good.


My mother.  Oh joy.  The queen. )

Sarcasm. It’s what’s for dinner.

My dad. The old man. )

There is one other major player here. [livejournal.com profile] kokopelleigh , aka Leigh, is that best friend I mentioned up top. We are moral, emotional, and sometimes financial support for one another. She’s awesome people, with loads of her own angst, which makes us PERFECT friends!

Damn. Who knew this would turn out to be a life story? I guess I did. But these are the things you might like to know while reading along here on the roller coaster that is [livejournal.com profile] sapphirescarlet . Please don’t bother to keep your hands and arms inside the car – touch me! bwaahahaha 




EDIT:  Oh dang it!  I plum forgot!  I am also a moderator at [livejournal.com profile] overheardinwv   We loved [livejournal.com profile] overheardnyc  so much that we decided we'd copy it.

Owie.  Fibromyalgia reared it's ugly head last night after working on Scarlett's room for several hours, and I ran a low-grade fever.  Still fevered today, and aching in every fibro-related place, skin, forearms, femurs, back. Cold cold cold all day, which is a side effect, and just exacerbates the misery.

Otherwise, I'm exhausted. Well, maybe in related news I'm exhausted.  Have been fighting sleep all day.  Am not going to Brent's tonight, I'm just too tired and I desperately need silence and sleep. Today is my mom's birthday so Scarlett and I will go to dinner with mom and my stepdad, then Scarlett will go home with mom. I'm supposed to go hear Mom's choir sing tonight, Brent's mother has been invited.  But I'm not sure I can do it.  I'm dragging, and SO sore and miserable. I just want to hold my kitties under my blanket and snuggle.  I hope mom will understand.  

Saturday's poetry society chapter meeting has been cancelled, and I'm disappointed.  I was actually thinking of reading.  Holly and I will have to get together sometime soon.  

I'll probably stay with Brent Saturday night.  His best friend's wife is in the hospital, so we'll need to go see her if she's still there tomorrow.  I like Brenda and Jamie a lot, we have fun together.  If she's still in the hospital, maybe we'll take Jamie out to eat or something. Or both of them if she's home.

Sunday is brunch at Courtney's new apartment.  I've volunteered to make omelets, cause I can do that. I might whip up date balls too, during the time I would have been reading poetry. Can't wait to see her new kitten, and drink mimosas and laugh with my girlfriends.  

Hey! I have girlfriends!  How cool is that? I actually feel like I'm fitting into a little circle of LJ-related friends that Leigh has gathered around her. It's been absolutely ages since I've had more than one or two people to hang out with.  I am the oldest one in the bunch, but they can't really tell most the time, and neither can I.  So it's all good. 

See ya'll. I'm outta here for the weekend.

 Forecast calls for snow tonight, and more before 6 a.m.  Like, 3-5 inches total.  This means a) there may be no school; b) I probably won't be able to get out; and um, c) it will be fucking cold in my house tonight unless I get some plastic on my windows.  Fuck.  

I have a stress test in the morning, but called the doctor's office today to tell them that I can't breathe well and ask if I should reschedule.  No return phone call yet - the answering machine message says sometimes it takes 24 hours for them to call back.  Hello! In the morning! 8 a.m.! Call me!  Not calling me. 

Scarlett continues to fail one of her classes and perform abysmally in a couple of others.  I've learned she has a possible bullying issue with a boy in her classes, and I'm wondering if this could be affecting her grades.  I know it's possible but I don't know if it's the reason in this particular case.  She's not acting out in any of the other typical manners. 

I am stalking an LJ'er.   She's so damned busy, and I'm so bored.  But she is the only person I'm talking to about a particular current situation so I'm rattling shit off left and right even without response.  I'll probably tell you all later, if the event actually takes place, but not before.  

*natter natter natter*

1. Who is your best friend?   Brent is now.  I've traditionally had one "best friend" at a time.  Leigh runs a close second, because I talk to her about EVERYthing.  The only thing really missing is the running around. We're both pretty busy.

2. Why did you become friends?  With Brent it was because we had so much in common and we made each other laugh.  We knew the same jokes, were raised in the same religion AND region, liked the same music and were/are both sensualists.  With Leigh it was because we just "clicked".  We had a couple of interesting things in common and just started talking. And talking and talking and talking.  

3. How did you meet?  I've known Brent for almost ten years.  We began our conversation when I realized he was a writer and asked him about it. He gave me a cd of his music, and I was hooked.  With Leigh - a mutual acquaintance introduced us.  

4. Why have you stayed friends?  In both cases we know the value of what we have. We appreciate the ability to speak freely, whine, bitch and moan, and the frequent laughter. 

5. How long (realistically) do you think you'll be friends?   I hope forever.  I've hoped that before, but I'm learning with each friendship.
