March 24, 2010 6:30 AM- what's not to love?
Huzzah! After 6 long-ass days of being without my car, she has been returned to me
with a new timing belt (plus myriad other bits and bobs that added up to a whopping bill, gulp). Wasn't I just without my car for three long-ass weeks not but a
month or so ago, you may ask? Why yes, what an excellent memory you have. If it's
true what some people posit that cars (or, whatever vehicle we drive) is
representative of our travel through life, then perhaps these past few months have
seen some rather unexpected and unrelenting upheaval on my journey.
I wouldn't know. That would require me to get in touch with my feelings which is
something I prefer not to do. In fact, I quite like where I keep my emotional life--
in a lock box, buried under six slabs of cement with an enormous elephant sitting on
top. Are you suggesting this isn't healthy? That perhaps allowing some breathing
room for an emotional life is recommended? Well, sure-- if you want to experience
being human, sure-- knock yourself out. Me? I'm fine with my life experiment as a
Vulcan.
Emotions are just so messy, complicated, unruly--- okay, you really want to know what
I hate about emotions? They won't listen to reason. There-- in a nutshell. They
simply don't play by the rules and as a result they are going to stay down in their
lockbox, under six slabs of cement and the 400 lb ass of an Elephas Maximus
until they can learn to behave.
Oddly, as my dogs seem to be a counterpart of my personality, Daisy and Henry play
out this scenario every. single. morning.
Every single day starts the same way. (Some of you who have spent time with Henry
and Daisy have witnessed this little routine and know the accompanying sound track of
Henry's moaning howl/growl as he resists the onslaught of Daisy's kisses).
Daisy will rush up to Henry for a kiss.
Henry will moan this weird howl/growl and turn his head from side to side to resist
her effort to kiss him. But do note: he never moves his feet!<--! He stands in
place and suffers her wild affection, but never walks (or runs) away which he is
perfectly capabe of doing.
And then, when I have finally had enough, I tell them to cool it and they come over
for a judgement call. Who is being cruel to whom?
DAISY: All I wanted was a little love and affection, is that too much to
ask?
HENRY: I would appreciate you keeping your pagan love goddess to yourself,
thank you.
DAISY: Boys are dumb. And? Vulcans can kiss my furry butt.
Hey kids-- enough of that-- guess who I am picking up at the airport tonight?* That's
right--> the woman who lets you crawl into bed with her and doesn't mind all your
snuggling and kissing and craziness . . **
JEN
GRAY!
Woot-- and she will be here for a WHOLE week!! Boo-YAH! so imagine all the extra
attention y'all are gonna get. Who knows? She might even be able to capture the
elusive Oliver on film . ..
Bisous, E
*I'm thinking I will cover my body in glitter in her honor . . think she'll like that?
** Um, to clarify-- she lets the DOGS crawl into bed with her . . I wasn't talking about the rest of you, sorry . .
got 2 cents?

Amber says: My god, I just realized that I'm the human equivalent of Daisy! Not that I give slobbery kisses all willy-nilly, but that I wear my emotions like a sweater and not in a lock box where they should be. posted on: March 24

lizardek says: If the dogs are an extension of your personality and this scenario takes place every morning, who is doing the kissing and who is doing the weird howl/moan thing? I'm betting on T for the kissing. :P posted on: March 24

leonie wise says: oh WOWZERS! two of my favourite ladies (in the whole universe) hangin' out together. how lovely. please give each other hugs from me okay?
i'm sometimes really good at locking my emotions up - every now and again though, they sneak out disguised as poetry. tricksters, all of them!

Tracey says: I've found the deeper I bury my emotions the fiercer they become and the less adept I am at corralling the rascals. But whatever works for you, dearheart. I wouldn't change a thing...you are terrific as is! Wishing you and Jen hours of glee and inspiration! Love and Light to you both! posted on: March 25
