Joh, do you mean that you only have one "type," and while there may be more than one guy out there who fits that bill, you'll only end up with one of them?

I guess I sort of look at it backwards. Like - I'll only end up marrying one guy, so there's only one. Like Chris - for you, he's The One. Make sense? But say, if you had married Duncan, he would've been The One. But obviously, he wasn't. I do tend to believe in Soulmates, but I don't think it necessarily has to be a husband/partner type thing. I think it can be friends or siblings and I think you can have more than one. But there are certain people who just "get" you.

87 percent thought they would find that person when they were ready to get married. See, so it is about timing.

Hmm.

How was the wax?

Y'all. Matt. So at 6 I leave work, and no one has heard from Matt (he said he'd call us at 5:30). And the quickest way to get over to where Matt and Nat live from work is to walk- it's about a mile- so I do, because Nat and I agreed I'd meet her there and get the tickets from Matt if he wasn't going. So I get over there, and call Matt, and he's home, finally, and he says he doesn't know if he is going to go or not, but that he is going to take a nap and he will let us know after. I say look, I'm right by your place and I have to go home and change and the concert starts at 8, so can I get the tickets now because I don't have time to go home and then go back over to East Cambridge if you don't go. And he says fine, and I get over there in 5 minutes, and he meets me at the door and shoves Nat and my tickets at me (Sean was meeting us there and had his ticket already) and I try to pay him and he says "I am too mad at you right now. Worry about it later" and slams. the door.

So Nat and I head over to my place and agree that Matt is being a big baby and he has no reason to be mad at me and it's not like I a)said anything I hadn't already said to him or b)didn't tell him several times I didn't want to talk about it and only did so because he ASKED.

Anyway, we get to the show and Matt does show up and says NOTHING to me, not hi, not anything. But the opening band, the Josh Joplin Group, is good and funny and the Old 97's kick ass, and I go to the bathroom at one point and when I get out Matt is waiting for me and he apologizes and says it was all his fault and he was a big baby, and I say I'm sorry and I didn't say anything with the intent to upset him, for chrissakes, and then I say wait- why am I apologizing? This IS all your fault. And he says I know and buys me a beer and all is well. And they played "Question" and I got a poster of the wall and a free promotional CD.

See, that makes no sense to me. I mean, Chris is obviously Teri's one and only now, but that's because they met and fell in love and have made this commitment. But what if they had never met? What if, God forbid, Chris gets hit by a truck tomorrow? Is that it for Teri because he was the One? That's why I don't like to think about soulmates. It's too restrictive. My friend Cori in college used to say it's not soulmates, it's about kindred spirits, and there are plenty of kindred spirits around if you keep your eyes open. Yes, you want to find one you can spend the rest of your life with, but that doesn't mean they are the only one you can be happy with.

-- Anonymous, June 15, 2001


oh no, I agree that there's not just one person alive in the WORLD that you can be happy with. Not at all.

The wax hurt. But it was quick, and not so bad that I won't ever do it again. Now, a Brazilian is just more, right?

Yay about Matt! So did he and Nat talk at all?

I don't know. I have announced that I want to know nothing about what should be between them any more, and won't discuss it with them. They both thought that was reasonable.

What do you mean?

Y'all. Enter to be Lucinda's biggest fan at lucindawilliams.com.

About the link? You can go to her top page but then nothing. She says to "read on" but where?

-- Anonymous, June 15, 2001

On the side bar, she has links to her journal, etc.

I wish I had thought to buy tee shirts. Lucinda had a white tank with the Essence flower photo, and Old 97's had a simple grey tank. They would've been perfect to wear with jeans on the weekends.

Are you going to go see Lucinda in OH on the 25th?

-- Anonymous, June 15, 2001


Oooh, there's no sidebar showing up for me! Can you send me the link to her recent entry?

I plan on it, but I don't have tix yet. Or I might drive to Cincy to see her, but I don't want to go alone as the venue is in a shady area of town.

I'm back.

I have a massive crush on Josh Joplin. Love him. He's a good Atlanta boy. He always waves to my friend Caroline when she's in the audience. So glad he's doing well. "I Am Mine" is a kick ass song.

And he's really cute.

If I was looking for apartments, I'd totally rent the one I just looked at. Very cute, too. Not as cute as Josh, though.

Chris is definitely *a* soul mate, and we love each other and respect each other and have made the decision to hit life together. If he were hit by a truck (god forbid), he would be devastated to know that my life would end right there with his (not literally, of course). Part of loving someone that much is wanting the best life for them, I think.

Hee. He sang a song about Phil Ochs that cracked me up. "50 fans can be wrong."

I love that song. He's cute. Anyway.

Huh. Nice armpits. She sounds interesting. But I can't say I think it's a good idea to marry someone because he's the most secure thing in your life.

I think that's a very bad idea, actually. And I think it's a very bad idea to post a picture of your vibrator. Anywhere.

I mean, a long distance relationship between Sweden and Florida?!?! With a guy you met when you were 16? Ouch.

The entry on her first page depressed the hell out of me though.

She's the only other Hannah on diarist.net

-- Anonymous, June 15, 2001


About being rich and then being poor? It was depressing, in a lot of ways. The marrying the guy in Sweden because he's "secure" is just so, so sad. I mean, savings bonds are secure. That doesn't mean you marry them.

No, that was just her bio. Her entry is on the front page.

It was boring and depressing.

Ah.

I ordered the Josh Joplin Group cd off amazon.com. And Fight Songs off my wishlist. Happy Birthday to me.

Y'all, someone bought me the entire Venture of Islam series off my wish list, too. I hope it wasn't Hadley- that's like $71. Far too much for anyone to spend on me, unless they are rich.

I don't think so. That's not really something they would buy me, either.

Hannah, the Houston JL cookbook is probably my favorite cookbook, ever. I gave it to Edna the first time I met her, even, and she uses it all the time.

I'll keep that in mind.

I think Hadley bought it. I asked her and she avoided the question.

I think I'll buy it now, actually. It's only $12.

What's the difference?

A lot of Leagues hade issued new cookbooks as their original ones were 20 or 30 (or more) years old. SASTR is the new JLH cookbook.

The Houston Rodeo Cookbook is another great one, but it's out of print. My mother has a copy, thankfully.

She's the one who inspired pam to start her journal, remember? Because she's Eric's friend Bill's ex-girlfriend. She's f'in nuts, though. Seriously.

http://www.geocities.com/~ms_e

It doesn't really come across in her journal. But the stories. Whoo. She came onto Eric last summer and just emailed pam a few days ago because she wants "closure" blah blah blah. And she's trying to wrangle an invite to Bill's wedding by telling him he owes her money.
