The Joint Ascension

It's $1 beer night again! I got 5 on it! :)

Fireworks and BBQs tomorrow, YAY! Too bad i have to work on friday, or I'd be in Utah camping with my family. Stupid job.

Sex is such am infuriating thing.... What do you gals think about booty-calls? I'm still deciding....worried because my current one runs the risk of straining a very good friendship. not if i'm careful though, but still...i feel rather guilty. okay, okay, i'm wracked with guilt. i think i need to watch at least another season of Sex and the City so i can get rid of my taboos for the summer. am i just being puritanical or is it truly wrong to sleep with people you don't want to be in a relationship with?

I've decided I must really end this thing I'm carrying on with the 38-y.o. man. I don't know how his age became a non-issue for me but more importantly I've come to realize that I can't take sex as lightly as I wish I could. The first time it was fine. I went over, stayed the night, woke up beside him and told him to call me next week. However, the next time we went out he took me to the beach to ride bikes, eat, drink and watch the sun set over the ocean. I'm a sucker for a nice view. That's exactly when I fell and while falling is awful it can also be pretty wonderful. I don't think I'm emotionally attached to Eric per say but I think he fills some sort of void or disfunction that I've always had. Now I see I've gotten in a little over my head and... well as Janet put it, "He's totally playing you."

Anyway, here's my book list. Wherever you all are and whatever you're doing, I hope you're having a good day.

Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck
