"Stay" Blue Merle

"I got a picture of you
And some letters I carry 'round
It's the way that I get you
To stay with me
Nothing's forever
Nothing is ever gone
And we ain't together
But you stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me"

wtf

::points at my hair:: "hair like that looks good on some people, but not you...."

tell me people, is there really a way to turn that first statement into a complement?

because i dont think so

but someone tried to convince me tonight that it's possible

funniest conversation of today

"and (insert name of star athlete football player), where were you yesterday?"
"what was yesterday?"
"sunday"
"church, why?"
"not w/your team, cause they were at my church"
"oh, i went to a different church"
"i see"


minutes later


"wait a minute, you go to church?"
"yes, have my whole life"
"wow, i didn't know that"


do i give off the "bad kid" vibe?

the piano man is staying at my church

my church is being used as a shelter for hurricane refugees, theres been a rather interesting array of people stay there...

my favorite one so far came saturday night. he was the music director at a methodist church down in new orleans. me and a few friends walked in on him playing the piano in the sanctuary saturday night. he was playing my favorite hymn ("it is well w/my soul") and it was really pretty and my youth pastor made a joke about him being the "piano man" and he broke out into that song. yeah, he's definitely the real deal.

the gossip in the world of madison

i wasn't going to go into details but, i'll summarize the ditching story.

but first you must know, a few of my dating rules include that the male prospect...
be a christian
not smoke(words can't describe how avidly against it i am, it also makes me sick)
not drink(excessively, or underaged)
not dip/chew(thats just disgusting)
not be in a band(preferrably have no musical talent at all)
must be on same intelligence level or above mine
education is a must(high school degree minimum)

rules number 2, 5, and 6 were broken intensely by prospect # 1, 7 was questionable

but i gave him a chance because he was nice, seemed innocent and unable to hurt me, and he has an industrial like mine
thus the first date was set

date 1 friday night-exorcism of emily rose

Friday
4:30-phone call from P-1 saying he didn't have enough money to see a movie but we could still hang out at his house, which of course i said was fine with me; he was about to play guitars w/his friend and would call in a "little while"
4:45-i call him back to say that i'll pay for the movie and we can double date w/guy friend 1 and his female friend at the 7:10 showing, but his phone has no service
4:45 to about 6:30- i continue to call his phone and he continues to have no service
6:30- i realize we wouldn't have enough time to meet up make it to the show on time so i give up
6:30- guy friend 1 cancels plans and stays at my house to hang out
8:45- receive call from guy friend 2 saying he's close and wants to talk to me...minutes later, shows up
9 or so- guy friend 1 heads home
few minutes after 11-receive call from P-1 and this is about how the phone call goes(me= bold)
"hey"
"hey"
"me and my buddy kinda got carried away playing geetars, time just slipped by"
"hhmmm"
"are you mad at me?"
"well, i'm definitely not happy. would you be mad if you were in my situation?"
"uuuhh, yeah"
"ok then, this is why i don't date guys in bands"
::sensing a bit of attitude:: "i guess i will talk to you later"
"ok bye"
"bye"

but we're going to learn from this one...

i got stood up.
