Life with Boys Revisited and New Characters to the Fold
"The internet is tearing us apart!"
This is what iPod said a few months ago, when we first got the internet in the house. I laughed it off, but as it turns out it's true.
We've gone from nightly commiserations to barely speaking. Since I showed Craig the ways of the the wiresless, he has retreated to his room and only comes out for sustinence and the occasional NASCAR race on tv. At the moment he's asleep on the couch, not lying down, but hunched over. It's pretty funny, I wish one of the myriad of digital cameras lying around here had batteries.
iPod's been working late and ...dating (yes ladies he's on the move, catch him if you can). When he comes home he goes to his "office" in the basement and blogs away. Check him out, maybe you can tell me what he's been up to.
Mysterio, well...can anyone REALLY know Mysterio. There was a sighting last week. I saw him with my own eyes (I even had my contacts on). he was in his room, I asked him "How's it going? Haven't seen you in ages." he said, "I've been going through stuff" and then..his brother showed up (he has a brother??). Haven't seen him since, but hey his rent check's here.
As for me, I spend most of my off hours alternating between the front porch and the back stoop (where I am now) depending on if I want a view of my car with a flat tire and a gear shift stuck in park or 15-20 guys in white t-shirts, crackheads, hoochie mammas, and neighborhood nosies (0f which I guess I am). Although I did host 2 barbecues in the last 2 weeks and did some major clothes shopping. Which brings me to the second part of my title...new characters. They're new to you, but with the exception of "The Soup" I've known them for years.
May I present...
George and Weezie.
Both are women and according to the state of Vermont, they're married. George and I went to college together and she's very much like George Jefferson, in the sense that she can have massive blow ups about the smallest things, like when she Weezie and I went shopping last weekend, like clockwork she had a tantrum every hour we were in the mall (granted we were there for 5 hours).
Weezie is very much like Weezie Jefferson in that she's able to ignore George's blow-ups and carry on as if nothing's happened. She's also got a bad girl side. The other night she and Craig were comparing strip clubs (who knew?).
Over here is "The Bean" another college friend. In recent years, we've bonded over the misery of relationships and her firm belief that astrology is the key. Last year was my year for heartbreak and the need of a shoulder to lean on, it's looking like this is hers, but she is loath to admit it (you know you're in trouble if Craig is giving you advice).
Her heart's in a messy place right now, but don't worry girl, I got your back.
An that brings me to "The Soup".
If you want to know why I call him "The Soup, ask him his name (he renamed himself). Metrosexual to the max (ya sure it's metro?). You have to see him to believe. He's a friend of Craigs and everytime the grill is lit he shows up. I don't mind feeding the masses, but don't come to my house and talk on your cell phone the whole time. I've never seen him "in action" but I'd be curious to see who he's pickng up when he goes out.
Let me get out of here, I'm just gossiping and speculating now, and I need a cigarette.
