but darling, you and i, we were born to cry

tonight i got stood up. what a crappy feeling. i was sitting there all decked out and waiting for a friend who never showed. i actually sat by the door with my coat on for 45 minutes. then i started to worry that i'd gotten the day wrong so i went and checked. i perched on the edge of my bed and played on my computer for a bit, not wanting to muss my dress or hair. finally after almost two hours, i decided to face the truth and realize how pathetic i was being. i decided to treat myself to some fresh soup from the nice grocery store as my consolation prize and tuck in with a scary movie.
scary, isn't it?
i settled on "the eyes of laura mars" from 1978 with faye dunaway and tommy lee jones. don't you love the avante gard murder pictures? so funny.
thanks to a suggestion from amy jeanne's blog i discovered square america. i've been spending hours staring at these pictures. the double exposure section is my very favorite but i also enjoyed this part quite a bit.it details the scrapbooks of fred and anne and how they had strategically removed certain people from the photos. sorta sums up how i feel tonight.all dressed up,with no place to go.
why bother?

If I lived closer, I would pretty much beg you to come out with me all the time. I would most likely also ask you to help me dress myself so I wouldn't look like a dishrag next to you, gorgeous. You always WOW me!

Love, Nicole A

F**k that shit!!!!!! how could someone stand YOU up? you are Top Shelf, darlin', and I know that is a creepy blog stalker fake sounding kind of thing to say, but I ACTUALLY MET YOU and if you had been anything less than incredible i would be avoiding you like the plague- life is too short and i'm kinda cold like that. so if my high standards are any comfort, there ya go. F**K that sh*t!!!!

you guys are the coolest ever! i'm considering un-friending this friend of facebook since that's like the meanest thing you can do these days but i'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
susie top shelf... love you sasha!!!
