dear sinister, how is everyone doing? my new vice --the headache-- is still being a bastard, but i hope that none of you have one right now and that everything else is completely wonderful. half of my summer classes are done. well, one out of two. so only two more weeks of school. for now. sigh. my grandma yelled at me the other afternoon because my stomach was hurting. i have been sleeping a lot more now that the english class is over and having suuuper ouchie stomach problems. stress. it's a bad thing. so i get yelled at because i'm stressed out. at least it's not as mad as she would be if i came home with bad grades... anyway, at work, i found this big huge $300 dictionary. i mentioned to the other girl up there with me that it was beautiful. she fully laughed at me and called me weird. for someone who reads her sex books, it's fine by me. i don't care if i'm weird. and besides, is it really that weird to think that words are pretty? i didn't think so. i'm sorry that this post is such crap, but i'm a bit hungover. as many times as i say that i will never drink again, put me in a bar (in california) that still lets you smoke inside and that has tons of the cure in the juke box...i'm a lush. anyway, i think i do have a point to this post. i need help with a strange situation:: my friends sonia and steve are married. sonia has a daughter from when she was a teen and together they have 2 boys. so three kids all together, because her daughter thinks steve is her real dad (which he kinda is in a way). alright, so sonia and steve live in the town where my parents live and i haven't seen them in a while, having moved an hour away with no car. well, one night a few months ago, steve called me drunk on my cell phone from his brothers house. uummm... which is the best way to um...get your friend's husband off the phone while he insists on saying inappropriate, but not dirty, things, while he's drunk...? well, i never told sonia. should i have? this is already his second marriage and they are jehovah's witnesses and so that also would complicate things. he had tried to call a few times after that and i jus didn't answer the phone. i think he might be an alcoholic actually. then sonia called me a coupla weeks ago. really pissed at me. snapping and talking rudely to me. i felt bad, but in the process of not knowing what to do about steve, i stopped calling her because i freaked out. i miss the childhood innocence of not knowing a difference between knowing what's right and actually doing what's right. do things really have to be this complicated? it's just been weighing on my mind for some time now and maybe by some weird chance, one of you has been in a similar situation and can give me some advice... thanks for reading as my posts go deeper and deeper into the pooper as i feel poopier and poopier... love, sara ===== all the people'd stare as if we were both quite insane someday my name and his are going to be the same __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
