Instant Pleasure

"I don't want somebody to love me; just give me sex whenever I want it; 'cuz all I ask for is instant pleasure, instant pleasure, instant pleasure."  Rufus Wainwright

"I woke up this morning at 11:11."  Rufus Wainwright

But really folks, I did wake up this morning at 11:11.  It was awesome.  I had a small friendly BBQ yesterday at my house.  It went well.  I was nervous and stressed at first, as I always am when I invite people to my house.  I figured that only Elizabeth and Don would show up, and I wanted a few more guests to be there, but I forgot to promote the BBQ.  Also, I was afraid that TOO many people would show up, and that I wouldn't have enough chairs or food.  Turns out it was fine.  Food was consumed with fervor, people got along well, everyone behaved in a legal manner, and the mess is not that bad.  Thanks for showing up go out to:  Kaleigh, Isaac, Elizabeth, and Don.  Thanks to Dennis for helping me purchase the food.  Yep.

It's a bummer I have so many friends who live far away.  The BBQ would have been much bigger if it was held simultaneously at my house, in Hillsboro, and in Santa Fe/Pojoaque.  Oh well.  Damn those laws of physics; always interfering with my fun!

I've been having a lot of stressful work-related dreams lately.  It must be time to start prepping for the next school year.  I hate those dreams- I show up to work unprepared in some way (not dressed right, not fed, needing to pee, no idea who/what I'm teaching, can't find the classroom, find the classroom and it's full of random drama/music furniture, have evil and hateful students who won't behave, get in trouble with the boss/principal for something, or forget something important), and can't figure out how to fix my predicament.  This most recent one, I ended up being assigned a classroom in the HALLWAY for some reason, and had a class of about 45 obnoxious ruffians who wouldn't shut up so I could take attendance. I ended up SHOUTING at them, which I never do, and even cursed at them, which I also never do.  It was embarrassing.  I woke up annoyed and stressed out.  Bummer.  SO, I guess I need to start planning for next year.  Heh heh.

But first, dunch.
