Love and Hate
Friday, November 16, 2001
What I love:
Lex. Beautiful
Lex of Survivor. You fill my Thursday evenings with pleasure.
The minute I see your tattoos, I melt. You're so edgy and cool
and yet levelheaded and sane all at the same time. I hope you
win the whole thing. And then come share it with me. I love you.
I really do. And the fact that we share the same birthday (June
18th -- no lie!) means only one thing. You. Me. Fate.
What I hate:
Eating too much. Eating too much even when it's healthy and good
for you and completely vegetarian. Damn you, Tandoor Restaurant.
Damn you, Naan Bread. And the fact that I almost set the restaurant
ablaze doesn't help either. Seriously, I almost did. When I went
to grab some naan in the heated thing with the cloth napkin covering
it, I must have got it too close to the heat source because the
next thing I knew, the napkin started on fire. Fire! I tried to
pat it out... but to no avail. My coworker came to my assistance
and started blowing on it, but the fire only got bigger. I panicked
the ran to the waiter, but I don't think he knew what I was saying
He answered the phone instead. Luckily a fellow diner came by
and saved us by rolling the napkin up (literally touching the
fire) and putting it out. He (yes, HE) fixed it all. Why is it
guys who always save my ass?
What I love:
Listening to Jazz from Smoke
online while I work.
What I hate:
Listening to annoying cubemates whistle while attempting to listen
to jazz online while I work.
What I love:
Harry Potter and the fact that I'm going to see his glorious movie
next weekend complete with Any Flavor Beans and Chocolate Frogs.
What I hate:
Sitting in a theatre full of children who don't know how to keep
their mouths shut, feet off the chairs and popcorn to themselves.
And, um, Moms: No, it won't be interesting to your 1-year-olds
so please leave them at home.
What I love:
The exhilaration of running a long distance, breathing in the
fresh air and the buzz I get from such cardio work. I feel powerful
and graceful and fit and strong.
What I hate:
The fact that running is so damn hard. Why can't running be easy?
Like eating. Eating is easy. Why can't running be like eating?
What I love:
Getting together with girlfriends like I am tomorrow to make candles.
We'll shop, each lunch, craft and hang out.
What I hate:
Vaguely sounding like a Martha Stewart wanna-be. Really, I'm not.
What I love:
Coffee
What I hate:
Bad Breath. From Coffee.
What I love:
James working. Even if it is a low-level job that pays squat. He's happy. Has a life outside the home. Something to talk about other than work.
What I hate:
Getting the "It's a newspaper!" or "It's deadline!" or "I
have a story to write!" line every freakin' single time I
call and want to talk or make plans to do anything that remotely
resembles a social life.
What I love:
This wonderful unseasonably warm November weather we've been having.
It's been so unusual to go outside at 6 am when it's still dark
and run in only a t-shirt and tights! It's Minnesota. It's November.
It's supposed to be cold! I even drove to work today with my sunroof
open. So completely unnatural. And great.
What I hate:
That due to this wonderfully warm weather, I can't wear any of
my hip and trendy winter clothes including the ever-so-flattering
turtlenecks and boots. What WILL I wear to the bar tonight?
What I love:
Writing in my journal.
What I hate:
Resorting to a cliché love-hate list when I can't think
of anything better to say.
