Jesus, Please

Jono's latest Brit psycho Jesus lovin' post: "Second TV show I've watched this week where the "Christian" is some sort of serial killer. If this is the image the world is getting of us, we are in trouble!"

So....last night I talked to someone I really like. He's not creepy, he's not fucked up (far as I know), he's incredibly smart and well-rounded, and overall a really nice guy. Nothing bizarre happened. No weird sexual nonsense. Just hours of great conversation. He's from Jersey (I hate Jersey). We had Philly and New York in common. Jersey too though I'll never admit it. Shit, just did. It was great to talk to someone about the old neighborhood - someone who actually knew places I knew - places that are worlds away from me right now. I was right back in South Philly walkin' around in birkenstocks shopping for groceries at the Italian Market (yes, the one from Rocky). I worked for Penn PIRG again (my cute little activist self - she was awesome). I'm starting to remember who I am. I've had amnesia for five long years and it's starting to come back to me in flashes. I feel stronger every day. Closer to me. Like we're bonding again and forgiving each other. I know, crazy talk, but it's the truth and I don't know how else to describe it. He asked me if I was Jewish. I said I was a bit of a JAP. Then he said "don't take this the wrong way" - which means there's no other way to take it - "but has anybody ever told you you remind them of Bette Midler?" Jesus. Only most of my life. So I remind him of a curly red-headed loud mouthed singing Jew. OY.

Went for a test drive in the Lexus that will soon be mine. Loved it. Took the boys out to Parker to play on the land (God I hope they don't start a fire). Jessica will be induced in six hours. I'm exhausted.

Oh, and I haven't bugged Chris once. Go me!
