Boringest Post Evar

[wednes]

Work is still going well. They are giving me one more day of training before I get set loose on violin consumers everywhere. I almost sold a cello today, but the whipped SOB had to confer with the wife. I kid of course, I think every couple should discuss household purchases, especially those in excess of a thousand dollars. Sheesh!
Not so into the idea of the Fender Mandolin now that I know that my discount is only 10%. That's the lowest employee discount I think I've ever had. Even Blockbuster did better. But these customers are light years away from the fuckwads and asshats at Blockbuster. All day I only had one rude guy. Know what I did? I transferred him to someone else. Ha! That's nice.

H and I picked up our wedding rings yesterday from ze mall. We were going to go to the Apple store, but there were crowds of people there, still swarming the iPhones. I don't think I'd buy one even if I could afford it, I'd be too ascared of losing it. Anywhoo, our rings look great and (finally) fit perfectly. I was a little bit bummed H didn't want to get them engraved. He just doesn't go in for schmaltzy stuff like that. Mine is loaded with diamonds and sapphires, it's sparkly and nice.

I've tried a few times to write vows for the wedding. Funnily enough, I have no words. I think I'll probably say something like that, because it's true. Language is simply inadequate to harness the depth and breadth of my feelings for H. If only there were available words to express that. ;-]

I only put up one new chapter over the weekend. I may try to write another one this week so I can get caught up by next weekend. Since no publishers know I'm writing this book, I can pretty much finish it whenever I want to.

Okay, dinnertime. We're having jambalaya. Mmmmmm...jambalaya...

OMG, I just told H what his F11 key does on his computer. He'd never used it before. I was all Don't you hate that when you accidentally hit F11 when you're trying to delete something? and he was all What? and so I explained it to him. Now he thinks it's really cool.

I agree with those who mention others words. I quoted Leonard Cohen on mine*:

Days may not be fair, always
Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year, but always.

I said that I'll be loving you, always
with a love that's true, always.
When the thing you've planned
needs my helping hand,
I will, I will understand, always, always

The days may not be fair, always
Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour,
Not for just the summer and the winter going sour,
But always, always, always


*Of course, as a writer, I expect you to be able to do it yourself. In fact, it may be one of the most important emotional things for you to write. You know my feelings on stating that "I like something, just because..." isn't a real answer, and it's the job of writers and communicators and artists to put these feelings into something tangible. To put into words something that others will say, "I totally understand what they meant, and I can use those words to express how I feel about my beloved someday." Whatever you decide to do will be great, but I would encourage you to write something that was your own, just for the challenge to nail how you feel for the man you love.

I dunno, it's such a huge thing. I'm sure I can come up with something decent, but...it kind of reminds me of when I try to write a sex scene in a book. All the words for things sound trite and silly and not at all in the mood I'm trying to create.

And of course, H won't write his until I write mine. He says they should match.

So you didn't give up on getting a novel published, but you are going to give up on your wedding vows?? Priorities women, priorities!!

I know you can do it, but you have to dig deep.

Yeah I can do it.
It's just surprisingly hard.
