MIA Roommate Drama

Sarah left last night for Florida. I’m by myself in our apartment for the longest period of time since moving out of my studio. At first, I found insane pleasure in little stupid things. For instance, Wednesday I ran out of toilet paper on the toilet paper roll. Usually, I would replace it, without a doubt, right away. Only douche bags don’t replace the toilet paper roll. But, since Sarah was gone, and I didn’t have to worry about her opinion, I left it. This morning when I woke up and went to the bathroom, a slight, “yessss” went through my mind as I sat down and took the new, un-replaced roll from the counter…sometimes it just feels so good to be irresponsible.

Or how great it was to sleep with my door WIDE OPEN and not feel weird if she got up and my cheeks were hanging out of my skimpy bedtime shorts…eff, it’s hot. I’m not sleeping in much these nights. Furthermore, I got up in the middle of the night last night and found pleasure in taking a midnight nap on the futon, next to all of our large windows, circulating cool nighttime air through the living room. Hell. Sarah wouldn’t be waking up in the morning and feel like she had to sneak around to be quiet for me…so I slept in the living room.

Or this morning when I took THREE spoonfuls of her Cool Whip out of the fridge to eat for breakfast. Normally, I’d feel incredibly guilty about eating her food. I’d usually try to be really sneaky and smooth over the Cool Whip so it didn’t look like I’d just consumed half the container. But, with her out of town, I can eat, eat and eat and just replace it all before she gets back!

Not to mention I haven’t washed one damn dish. They’re piling up all over the counters, and it’s beautiful.

So, I’ve definitely enjoyed doing the stupid little things one has to always think about and respect when living with someone. But, don’t get me wrong. I’m unnervingly bored and lonely. In fact, I was so bored and lonely tonight that I ordered PIZZA at 10 p.m. after I’d already eaten dinner and dessert. I wasn’t even that hungry. I was just bored and snacky. I suppose I could have saved myself $25 by just walking or driving a couple blocks to pick up a fuckin ding dong, but instead I paid for an entire greasy 10-pound pizza to be delivered to my front door so I could eat two pieces. And now I just want to take it to work in the morning and leave it in the lunchroom for someone to eat so I don’t have to feel the guilt of devouring an entire pizza.

I hope I make it through this lonely weekend without gaining 10 pounds. If I disappear, it might be because my fat ass sank through the 5-foot pile of clothing on my bedroom floor that I can’t bring myself to clean…send in the search party by Monday.

Jill and Josh Speed * May 12, 2007

The wedding last weekend was most spectacular. I’ve been a little lazy at getting the photos posted for you all to see, but here they are.

I’d have to quickly recap the wedding by saying that it more than made up for all the costs and time I had to put into it. I had the best time ever; ate tons of good food, danced, laughed, kissed, drank…it was perfect. In fact, I pretty much want to go to a wedding every weekend. Anyone need a date?

Jill and Josh Speed:

Two bridesmaids: Jamie and myself

Purple, fuschia and pink explosion

Don’t know if any of you missed my previous mention of blogging for Metroblogging Seattle, but here it is again.

I’m now splitting my time between two blogs. Geez. I must really be a GEEK about this whole writing thing.

But seriously, Metroblogging Seattle is great for those of us who live in the city. I read it before I signed up as a writer. The blog houses multiple posts a day about funny and interesting news around the city, restaurant and bar reviews, etc. in addition to a daily account of what’s happening in Seattle.

Bookmark it, read it, add it to your Web site and support your local bloggers.
Or, if you just want to read what I wrote because you all love me so very much, a list and link to my last five blogs for Metroblogging Seattle is listed on my LINKS page.

Currently Feeling: So super excited for the wedding tomorrow.
Currently Anticipating: My date on Sunday.
Currently Wondering: What I’m going to do for a Mother’s Day gift.
