Updates & Shit Like That

I don't really have time to do a full post right now.  Work is incredibly busy and I don't have internet at home, so I'm kind of limited as to what I can do and when I can do it.  I could update from my phone, but it's not ideal.

Thank you for all your kind words regarding the roofie thing.  Nicole went to court and they moved her case to Franklin County, which isn't a good thing, but it is what it is.  Her lawyer has watched the footage of her arrest and indeed there was not a female officer present during her search, so that alone should get her out of most of her charges.  She is doing as well as can be expected right now.

Linda Lou, though I love you dearly, I can't help but feel a little bit of resentment toward your last comment.  I wasn't overdoing it that night.  Three drinks and three shots in 5 hours isn't shit.  And as far as anyone can say, I could have had one drink and this happened, hell, I could have been drinking water at a local restaurant and it could have happened.  People are fucked up and deranged and do stupid shit to others sometimes for no reason at all.  Yes, maybe it was a sign that I need to slow down, and I have significantly, but it's not going to change my attitude about going out and having a good time on the weekends.  Yes, people depend on me, but just the same as people who engage in other risky activities like skydiving or motorcycle riding, it's not going to deter me from doing it.  I just hope for those people who this HASN'T happened to, this serves as a warning that it can happen anywhere, anytime and by anyone.....

What else??  I had a pretty good weekend I guess.  April, who lives two doors down from me, had a party for her brother who leaves for the Army this week.  It was tons of fun and I got to see some people I haven't seen in a long time.  Their band played all evening, marking the last time they'll play together for the next four years and it was just a good night in general.

Sunday I went and hung out with Josh for the evening.  The whole thing with Mr. Right is a little fucked up right now (which I'm trying to fix), so of course I turned to an old standby.  We walked across the street from his house to a hole in the wall that claimed to be a sports bar, but only had one tv and country karaoke loud enough to burst your eardrums.  We sat there talking about the stuff that went wrong with us and the many reasons that even though we're supposed to be together, even though we just can't make it happen.  It was nice to have him as company, if only for just one evening.

That's about it right now.  There's lots going on, but at the same time, nothing really worthy of talking about, even if I had the time to do so.  I hope to get back to reading everyone's blogs here in the next couple of days, but I'm so far behind, it's ridiculous.  This is what happens when life gets in the way I suppose.....
