weird times are weird

Lately:

1. A bunch of famous people died.

2. I went to Brooklyn for the first time in 7 years and had a boozy “brunch” at the apartment of one of my best friends from high school, with whom I had several fallings out with in the early ’00s and who I re-connected with over Facebook last year and who I had not seen in person since.. 2004? And even though I had a tough time finding her apartment and then my iPhone stopped wanting to make calls which made me feel so, so stupid, I discovered it and we fell right back into our old patterns of shit talking and witty banter.

3. Later on that night, I made out with a human dude.  I KNOW, RIGHT? I forgot that I had the ability do this. I never get personal anymore (and fuck it, it’s a holiday weekend and ain’t no one reading this) but let’s just say I’m a born again virgin. ABSTINENCE YA’LL.

Anyway, this human dude was not a)a narcissistic 21 year old divorcee, b) an emotionally immature “feminist”, or c) a start up dude who was 10 years older than me who has only spoken to me in the past few months to get “feedback” on his product (I failed to respond).

4. I was supposed to cover the Gossip Girl tour for another b5media site. Twice now, I have missed it. The second time, I thought I was early but instead I had in fact mis-read the e-mail totally wrong and I was actually 2 hours late. I don’t know if I have the courage to face this company’s marketing person again now that I have fumbled this twice.

5. One of my very close friends, who I talk to almost constantly, and I are currently not speaking to each other. On purpose. It’s hurtful & difficult & strange.

6. Sarah Palin resigned!! I was out all day today and then I finally checked Twitter and saw that everyone had lost it.

7. Last Thursday, my blog was the first google result on a real housewives of new jersey thing and almost broke our servers. I ain’t Gawker, okay? I had no idea what it felt to get that many comments in such a short time span.

8. PR people are inviting me to things I actually want to attend. I find that the weirdest thing of all.
