Well it wasn't my union!
Attended the wedding of Technodoll and Vegas on Saturday. I was rather chuffed that I was asked along considering that TD and I only met in person for the first time in December, but I had fun, they and friends are essentially nuts (this is a requirement for me personally, we have to have some of the same qualities :P).
Honestly, I hope for them all the happiness in the world, they seem a nicely suited couple, the bride was gorgeous, the groom was hot (um hello TD how could you not have given him the time of day when you first met?) yet casual, and the judge was the nastiest bitch known to man! Holy 4-letter-word-starting-with-a-c!!!
Anyway, for brunch I was located at the "bad" table...we were all rather loud and obnoxious and one of TD's friends has the coolest job in the world. Or just a bizarre job I never would have thought someone would do for a living? Nice place TD picked for brunch...I will be going back there down the line!
Unfortunately I had to rush off because my meter ran out for my car and I had no freaking change between the meter for the courthouse and the meter near the restaurant.
Got strings for my mandolin, picks, a new capo, and some finger picks....then went home to panick because....wait for it, I got booked for a solo gig in March. Happy 40th to me, I am finally at my age getting out there and doing more singing/performing. I want to puke at the thought, but I need to be doing this and I can use the cash frankly!
Birthday dinner for a friend Saturday, out to see a favorite band, brunch with a friend Sunday morning and then an invite out to quiz night by friend of Jam Flirt (who is not interested in me....he asked my friend and I to go join *them*). I went with my friend S, and we had a good time, and we won the quiz night! Jam Flirt was his usual, and I got a kiss on the cheek. But his FB status has changed to nothing as opposed to single, and seeing as I've been in that boat before, I assume that means he and the vacant blonde are seriously seeing each other.
I don't get men and I never will. Seriously.
And there you have it. Today I didn't have 3 seconds to think for all the work being piled on me, I'm tired, I'm crabby, and I'm thinking I need to just hide from people for a bit. Maybe no jam night this week. Maybe no nothing this week. Dunno.

take off to the Great White North
20-25cms (that's about 10 inches to you guys south of the border).
It's not as bad as last year, but it's annoying enough.
Sigh. I'm tired of winter. Can it go away now?
Finally got out for a run last night, happy happy, it's been about a month, between subzero temperatures (bad for inhaling when you're an asthmatic) and that cold-from-hades, I haven't gotten out. So now I need to work back up to my previous time...I can run the whole way, the lungs end up on fire. It'll take me about another month to get there I guess.
So, my company let us out early, I'm a manager, I'm not supposed to take advantage, but fuckit, I did anyway, didn't want to get stuck in the mega traffic. Place was empty (skeleton staff means about 2 people...heh!!). All the freight is messed up anyway, most of the flights are backed up or cancelled, even out of Europe where they're also having a hell of a time with snow. In fact our Milan agent emailed to say they were closed as was the airport. Airports. Whatever.
On average, Montreal destined/origin flights are 2-5 hours delayed. Yeehaw. So there's not alot we can do anyway. Truckers are getting nowhere....pointless...early day.
Jam night tonight. That's just down the street, so I can get down there without issue (that is if the rest of them show). Let's see how I manage singing tonight, I'm practising for a gig in the next month or so, I can sing on average maybe 5 songs before I lose my voice. Leftovers from the plague.
And really, that's about it.

and back I go...
Back to work tomorrow.
Let's summarize my vacation.
Sleep, snotty nose, more sleep, barking like a dog, more sleeping, throwing up due to barking too much, sleep, exhaustion, alot more sleep, forcing food down my throat because I'm not hungry, sleep....see a trend?
Saw a couple of friends here and there...family....but for the most part I was sick and slept.
Yeehaw.
Do I feel like I had any time off? Nope. Because I slept 11 days away. Yay.
Yesterday's buffet/jam session was interesting. Received a message from my friend that Jam Flirt would be in attendance. No biggie, I was taking HF with me anyway, my friend S wanted to meet him, and he was a bit depressed yesterday, so it worked out well.
Yeah well I get there and not only is Jam Flirt there with his other friend, he's brought the "girlfriend". Yeah. I put that in quotations for a reason and you'll find out what that is shortly.
Turns out my friend S knows the "girlfriend" from a bar she plays in, "girlfriend" doesn't work there anymore (waitress) but anyway... S looks at me and mouths "I couldn't get to the phone to call you & warn you!"
No biggie. I have so much more going for me than this woman, except that she's thin and very pretty, but that's where it ends, it really didn't matter. And let's face facts, I was there with HF, he's hot, they don't know who he is (except I'm honest to a fault, I said we work together).
So. I behaved as I usually do, like I'm crazy, roaming around, playing tunes, brought out my guitar which Jam Flirt is in love with (the 12 string), playing with my friend A's daughter (we redheads stick together). They're my friends, we were having a good time, I'm not behaving differently.
EVERYONE absolutely loved HF, I think doing the dishes also got him many points, but everyone said they could totally see why I like him so :)
Please note that he was very comfortable with everyone. But he's a personable guy.
The "girlfriend" on the other hand looked uncomfortable the entire time. Jam Flirt didn't sit beside her once the whole time, just went outside with her one time for a smoke (she got him started smoking again, sigh, people who smoke...)
They left early (she had a dinner with someone elsewhere) and the party went on until much later.
On the way home, HF, who knows that I was interested in Jam Flirt, gave me his assessment. He's the most observant man I know. Seriously.
- Jam Flirt is a nice, intelligent guy, personable, confident and fun to be around
- she is not a "girlfriend", she's just a date
- Jam Flirt likes me better than the "girlfriend", interacts more with me then her, watches me when I'm across the room, smiles at me constantly and generally enjoys my company
- as soon as he realises there's not much to her, it'll be done and over with - HF figures pretty quickly because there's not much there other than perhaps physical attraction
- that Jam Flirt is somewhat in awe of me, because of my singing, the instruments I play etc. Please note this man is a professional musician who sings and plays his fair share of instruments also. No reason to be in awe of me.
Which is all exactly the same thing that both myself and my friend S thought.
Funny that.
It's generally thought, by myself as well as my friend S, that he had no idea I was interested, in fact until I told her I was, she said she had no idea. HIs friends kept asking me why I was going to jam night and I think they were fishing to find out if I enjoyed Jam Flirt, but I won't engage in shit like that, he wanted to know, he could ask and find out.
Anyway. I'll continue to go to jam night because I enjoy it, and continue being me, because I'm not capable of anything else, and keep photographing and keep meeting new people, and who knows what might happen in the future.
And that's the most positivity I can muster at this moment! :)

bad bad blogger
Ok in my defense, I'm still feeling like hell. My sister with this cursed cold has a lung infection, I'm terrified I might get that (I have chronic asthma & bronchitis - if I get something in there I could be sick for quite a while...as in months).
Let's keep the fingers crossed.
I'm supposed to be doing some singing tomorrow and I lose my voice after about 3-4 songs. Kerist. I'll take my honey with me.
Musical lunch/dinner - I'm taking HF along with me. He can meet the clan, he'll enjoy himself I'm sure.
New Years. Yeah. Lovely. I know it's not me....a male friend's hypothesis is that he was keeping his options open. This blonde woman is new. Probably met her around the same time he met me. In fact, I remember her from his gig. And she didn't hang around long, so I don't think they were seeing each other then (and he had alluded to future concerning he and I that night, so I'm sure they weren't involved).
Anyway. That's done. Just going to let this slide, I have potential business for photography through this guy, so I have to keep contact I'm afraid. And I enjoy Jam Night anyway.
She's not very smart (I talked to her for a bit - long story but she's friends with someone that I am friendly with) and she's quite frankly a bimbo....which surprises me with him, he's an intelligent man, except that obviously that is not necessarily what he's looking for in a woman.
And he told me how hot I looked too....twice. Sigh. Fucking figures.
He bought the inferior product. Sorry but :)
So I'll just stick to my platonic male friends, and just ignore men again. Yeehaw.
Happy news was had, friend of mine, Computer Geek, lives here in Montreal, but works down in the US - he's going to be home for 5-6 months. I miss him when he's not here. He's been a friend for a long time - over 10 years, used to live next door. He's seen me at the absolute worst times in my life. Been there for me. I think there might have been something there a while ago, but because of his travelling for work (back only 1 weekend in 4 on average), well nothing happened ever. I cried when he moved to another Canadian city long time ago. I do adore him :) And I should get a salary as his personal secretary (long story, old joke - suffice to say I'm one of the few that he talks to, his friends call me to find out where he is and what he's up to).
And that's the state of me at the moment.
Going to hit the sack, still damned tired.
