2006-07-29 - 5:29 p.m. My handsome good-for-me/bad-for-me friend came over last night to watch a movie. However, since he remembered the movie, but forgot to bring the dvd player nothing but good talks ensued until 1 in the morning. Good conversation is such an upper. This is in direct contrast to the friend I saw on Thursday night who after a couple of hours in her company I felt battered by her conversation. I felt myself getting smaller and ground down and all slumping over into myself. But back to my goofy, forgetful friend. I was trying to figure out why his utter goofiness is so utterly charming. I've come to the conclusion that it's because it doesn't matter to him. He's not (outwardly, at least) embarrassed by it. He's got a grace about his goofiness. If that makes sense. And that ease with himself makes him easy to be with. I walked around my house and tidied a bit before he arrived, but way less than I might have done even with some of my girlfriends. I don't get the feeling he judges me and I'm way more comfortable with myself with him than I am with some other people. We may be meeting up later. I had to go to work today because my annoying boss took up my time for two days for her project so I couldn't work on my own. Working on weekends is always against my better judgment. One of the things I do is create a database every month to survey from for this project that I run. Today I was amusing myself watching myself pick names. It's supposed to be random - just me and the list and my high-lighter. But, frankly, you're far more likely to end up on my survey list if you have an interesting name. Partly it's that I love good names and partly it's that I know the surveyors lead dull lives at work and need some really interesting names to spice things up. If Ronald Regan is on my list, he's gonna get picked. I wish I could list some great names for you, but I can't. I should go. I haven't really had a moment to myself since Tuesday night. I want to do something crafty - make these fabulous ear-rings I have in mind or paint a picture or something. . .
