TKD Talks

It's a long drive (relatively speaking) to Lynnwood from Seattle (about 30 - 45 min in traffic) leaving HG and I plenty of time for chit chat. And over several of these almost twice-a-weekly car trips we have engaged in discussions that really tug at the get-to-know-you strings. Our friendship has dramatically changed since we started TKD at the beginning of the summer. Throughout these discussions, Mike, Isis, Kevin, and all sorts of drama has come up. I mentioned a weirdo factoid about my journal in one of our latest discussions and that got me thinking. I decided to resurrect my journals from Sept 99, Sept 00, and Sept 02 and see what I was up to. I can't remember the name of my old school blog, otherwise I'd pull that up for '01 and I didn't keep a journal in '03 or '04. By '05 though I had this blog. Anyway, without further aideu, let's check it out:

Tuesday, September 7th, 1999: So Mike was so cute this morning. I drove all the way to my house to get my chocolate muffin only to find out my dad ate it! Grr. So I got to work, Mike called to see if I would co-sign for his bike. We made plans to have him come down here and see me. So I talked w/ Mel and texted w/ Nick all day. Mike decides at the last minute to bone out and says its okay for me to go w/ Mel. So she came over and we went riding, Mike called and said he was coming down, so I said okay - then he got all mad that I was w/ Mel and decided not to come down. Then Mel got stung by a bee (present day Crystal: okay, now I remember this story - we were right by Littleton Hospital). So we met w/ Nick at Chili's and he paid for me. Mike called to say he was cheating on me. Okay. Then we got the cars, Mike called again. Still kissing ass (Present day Crystal: still?! I thought I said he was cheating on me, wtf?!). Then we all got in the tub and drank. I went home early, to Nick's dismay I'm sure. Mike called and we fought the whole time about how it kills him to only see me for 1 hour. He'd rather not. So he said we should slow down (Present day Crystal: this mother fucker only wanted sex! Why the EFF didn't I see that then?! ARGH!!!) because we are moving too fast. So I was like whatever. Then he got off the phone and has tried calling a million times. Luckily my phone went dead. Then he leaves this msg w/ his dad's info like I'm supposed to be his bitch and call Sun Honda and give the info. Whatever. All he wants is $$ out of me, it's over. I'm just gonna ignore him. (Present day Crystal: why oh why didn't I just follow through with my idea and ignore him?!)

Thursday, September 7th, 2000: **Isis slept for 7 hours!!** I never answered any of Mike's thousand calls. I really don't want anything to do with him. I can put up with his abuse - maybe, I actually think I need therapy. But Isis doesn't have to put up with it. And he turned out to be a horrible father despite what I had hoped for. So my new mission is to erase him from my life. Except it's really hard to get through this initial period. (Present day Crystal: I have wished on more than one occassion that my mom hadn't talked me out of getting a restraining order against Mike. She had the best intentions, I'm sure, but what a mistake to make).

Sunday, September 7th, 2002: So I woke up at 4 and Dane wasn't in bed and I knew some girls came over, so I went down to find him and he was just watching tv so I grabbed my smokes and went outside to find two chicks out there smoking. So we smoked and talked then went inside and watched the rest of the Gladiator then the Veggie Tales silly song countdown. Then I took one of the girls, Shelly, to McDonalds then we came home, ate and I went upstairs to bed. Dane and I ended up [bleap bleap - for the G readers] then going right back to bed. I woke up and cleaned all day while Dane played on the computer. We got into a fight cause he just irritates me and I really hate him sometimes. Ugh! We went to dinner w/ Kris and Jim anyways at Black Angus and had a great time sharing stories and talking about our lives. It was awesome! We went home and I read and then went to sleep, I really like having all this time to do stuff and not be stressed over the house, this arrangement will really work for us I think. (Present day Crystal: well that was very informative. I wonder why I hate Dane so much - UPDATE: I think I was pissed at him for playing on the computer while I cleaned the house. And I think the new arrangement might have had something to do with me asking Dane to reduce some of my rent expenses in exchange for me cleaning the house and his messes)

Interesting batch I suppose. It might be fun to do this once in a while, though it's interesting because my 99 journal batch ends on Oct 20th and my 00 ends on Oct 24th (of all dates). But I have '02 stuff for days. Maybe I will randomly post the past of present day Crystal. :-)
