Girlfriends

My brother is nothing but trouble. My parents are gone out of town for the weekend and my brother someone decided that it would be okay for him to have 20 of his friends over to drink on our patio. He's 16. He's giving me an ulcer.

Jamie (will be added to the cast page as supreme, awesome friend) came over for a while this afternoon. She knitted a sweater while I baked chocolate chip cookies. It was nice to have some companionship besides Ally. It seems that somewhere along the way we lost contact with all of our friends. We pushed them away because we only had time for each other. I'm heading on the road to gaining them back.

I need girlfriends beside my girlfriend. She was my best friend before our relationship and she continues to be my best friend. But then there are a lot of way she's can't fill the best friend duty. Like I can't bitch about our sex life or the way she always has to be right TO her. Well, I can, but then that's just fighting. Allison knows me better then anybody else on this earth but I can't go shopping with her. I want to be able to giggle and vent with someone that I'm not having sex with.

Does any of that make sense? I had what I wanted to say all worked out in my head but it didn't translate onto the page correctly.

I have to do the dishes.

What I hear: Diana Krall-Case of You "Part of you pours out of me/ in these lines from time to time/ you're in my blood like holy wine/ you taste so bitter and you taste so sweet/ Oh I could drink a case of you darling/ and still be on my feet" God I love that song. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I like the Diana Krall version more then the Joni Mitchell. The piano and smoky voice brings a melancholy to the song that I feel it deserves.
