Waiting for what, again?

Standing at the airport, top of the arrivals ramp. Wondering what the fuck I was doing there. Waiting for Beth. I told her I would pick her up, which I guess is fine. I am just so tired of her and she isn't even here yet. So tonight when she started being her usual self-esteem-less troll, I just stopped and told her I was going out. She tried to get mad, then I told her not to bite the hand that feeds her. She is a guest here and supposedly I am her best friend, so she should treat me more like it.

Boy, if you think she was bothered before I said that...you shoulda seen her after that. But she eventually saw it. And that's good. I just know it didn't change anything. Some people are destined to stay young and with blinders on.

Talked to Laura tonight, and cancelled some plans. Worked out OK for us both, as she was knee deep in baking her best friend's wedding cake. And no end was in sight. So I did what I thought was right and told her the world owed us a night, and made her make plans so she and I both knew neither was a flake. So we have plans to get get Indian food and a few drinks afterwards. Sunday night. Must take a cab, since the CSPD is in the middle of its big DWI crunch, and I will NOT get caught in any part of that mess. My luck? the cabby will be drunk and get stopped.

So in other news, the SETI@home project found potential life out there in the hydrogen spectrum. A signal has been repeated and picked up 3 times at Arecibo, originating from a point in space between Pisces and Aries. Happy days, maybe.

OK, that's all. Hope the world is treating you well. Coqui, hope Argentina is welcoming you home as it should be. Talk to you all soon!
