The Morning after Let Down

Ya Know... that was one of the best times I ever had. Totally innocent and sweet. Simple enjoying the company of someone who is as un-complicated as a child. Makes me want to hand over the world without a backward glance. Now I am quietly contemplating four loaves of cranberry bread baked fresh this morning, a rug that needs vacuuming, dishes that need to be washed, laundry that needs to be finished, and business with Cesar that needs to be handled. I had a sad letter from him this morning and I do not know how I feel about that actually. I answered him back with honesty and temperance. Such as I can, I am so blunt at times. BUT I did mention a few things that have remained un-said. I don't do "UN-SAID" very well. Everyone knows that. Don't ask Glena anything unless you are prepared for the unvarnished truth.

I knew you long ago

I will take you anyway I can have you baby.

I will cheat

I will dance in front of the full moon. Fill a champagne

glass with moonlight, and drink it while whispering your name.

I will draw your name in the sand and let the tide take it out

I would, to keep you with me.

I would make a pact with the wind, and renounce my beliefs

I know we knew each other before somehow,

because you feel like home to me

this comes from my heart,

I am not good with words

I don't understand poetry.

I don't have to.

Green Eyed Wolf

OOOOH No, don't say it.
Fat little blue birds and green Eyed wolves do not mix well.there is no hope. I do not want to go there.
Can't people just portray who they are without all of the regalia? Come on, as far as I know I am just Glena Jean, she who waits, but the wolf even said, "You were not meant to be alone." and the truth is, I was not, I am very passionate. who wants to sleep in my feather bed and listen to novels of dragons and magic? who wants to drink wine and grow flowers and walk late at night, and dream of the sea? WHO? Who wants to drink wine invoked with love spells, and heal the sick, and be free? Free to be me. I dream, but I dream alone.

All along the watch tower

There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief, there's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Oddly I am thinking of escape, and listening to Dave Mason's version of the watch tower. I can't get no relief, and I do not have much patience, and I do not know what the future holds, and I am afraid to look into my crystal ball. It sits collecting dust next to the sea shells and pictures of the sea. The crystal ball sits on brass dolphin tails, it waits. Time is relative, I do not know the year, but I know that I too gather dust.

SOOO Freaking not suprised

What starts out as a good connection, an interesting meeting ends in silence.
Contact is cut off, and expectations are halted. Bite me Weazle Boy! Because that is what you are.
I had no designs on your person, come on! What did you think was going to happen? I would fall madly in love with you and hang onto your heals and slow down your foray into the wild world of singleness? I am still seeing people, and you are not top of the list.

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Homemade Orange Liqueur

Indgredients:

1-1/2 cups sugar

Finally

I am meeting Penny and Sue at the west campus to study for the Communications final on Wednesday, it is going to be a hard test.
Tuesday night is Ethnicity Sociology final. YEAH, I am done. Andyroo said he would put my winter tires on for me, I was wondering if I should watch and make sure he puts the bolts in too?
He isn't what he seems you know. Not a man of his word, not a good man. I actually want the tires, but I don't want to see him. I dislike awkwardness. and it will be awkward.
On a happy note, I met the most interesting person. She who waits shall wait some more.
