raybearso my weekend was pretty "boring" though a lot happened.
on Friday evening I hung out with De___ in her new huge apartment, which was cool. I love talking with her about stuff, and then we watched American Pie, which apparantly we were the last 2 people on earth to have not seen it. Overall, i thought it was silly and over-rated, except for the last 10 minutes, because I love Jennifer Coolidge (the actress who played the guy's mom) and because Alyson Hannigan had the best line ever: "What's my name? Say my name, bitch!!"
If I ever get her autograph, that's what I want her to write....
Ok, so every morning since Thursday, I've been waking up at 6 am. I think because there are no curtains in the bedroom at the new place. This happened on Saturday, even though I didn't go to bed until after 1 am. So saturday I decided to just get up and go to the old place and start packing. I got all my music, stereo equipment and related items packed up and move. This is a lot. I have a large stereo, two turntables, a mixer, over 200 records, over 500 CD's and over 200 tapes. My prides and joys. So anyway, got that moved, with a little help from Damon. Then we went to Target, including a trip to Popeye's, and I found everything for Melanie's bday gift, which I'm hopefully sending tomorrow. On Saturday evening we set up the music room and I made a bday mixtape. I was too tired to go to my friend's party, and ended up falling asleep shortly after 10:30 pm.
On Sunday, I woke up again at 6 am. Went to the old place, did some laundry. Made 2 trips with the car, did about 1/3 of my books, all my videos, all my toiletries and all my clothes. And a few kitchen things. At this point, I think I will not be sleeping in my old apartment again, which is weird and sad, and I feel I should have a "farewell" night, but for the most part I've moved on and I'm done. Last night I showered for the first time in 2 1/2 days, and let me tell you, between the moving, I was RIPE. But that made the shower feel extra good.
This morning I actually slept PAST 6 am....to 7:30 am. Which is about the time I needed to get up for work anyway.
I did almost all the moving myself this weekend, and to be honest, I sort of enjoyed it. It was nice to have time to myself, but I was being active enough that I wasn't over-thinking things or driving myself into anxiety attacks. It's sort of like the best part of exercising. A good expending of energy.
So on Saturday night I had this weird dream where I went to a party and it was winter time and we were outdoors in the snow and moonlight, but it wasn't too cold. And Milton was there, and i went over to talk to her and say "howdy" and she started kissing me, but I was like "I can't do this here becase Melanie's friend is at the party and she'll freak out and think I'm cheating on her" (she doesn't necessarily know of our arrangement). But then Melanie's friend came over to talk to me and was being really outgoing and flirty, and then made a pass at me! And we started talking about what she wanted to go do...hmm.
THEN last night I had a dream where I was at the apartment of my girlfriend, and she wasn't home, so I was talking to her roommate (who I think was Kate Bornstein!) and was in the kitchen making dinner for us, when my gf came home and came into the kitchen to say hello....and it was Ro____ my co-worker! hmm. except she built slightly different. had to explain, but I've hugged Ro___ before in real life, and when I did it in my dream, she was shorter and proportioned slightly different. hmm. These dreams are totally related to my tarot reading last night. let's see if I can remember it:
1 -- 2 of cups (i got this card reversed last week in a reading under 'hopes&fears')
2 -- queen of cups (in that same reading, this was emotional state)
3 -- 2 of pentacles
4 -- Lovers reversed
5 -- 3 of cups reversed
6 -- Queen of swords reversed
7 -- Judgment reversed
8 -- Star
9 -- 7 of cups
10 -- Moon
all fits perfectly. I'm surprised at how well my mental health seems to be holding up, considering that plenty of folks around me are going through intense and heartbreaking isht. and not just in the LJ world.
so anyway, I'm feeling really good about things, and excited about Melanie's return, but trying to have very very few expectations, and for the most part just feeling excited about the new apartment and getting every clean and reorganized and acting out mental reorganization. moving is always a time of taking stock of my life, since i'm taking stock of my belongings. i'm hoping this week i'll finish everything, maybe even my furniture, since I don't want to depend on my friend's uhaul this saturday.
alright, i got to work early to do LJ, but ended up doing work stuff, and then started doing LJ during work time. always the rebel. or something.

Date: 2001-08-14 04:10 pm (UTC)2) if kate bornstein were your gf's roommate, that would ROCK. well, actually, she totally intimidates me (she came to my school in march to speak and perform for our Pride Week, and i was her "escort"), but still, she is way cool.
i've been having strange dreams lately, as well...
