Walsh and my aunt stopped by for a bit this afternoon. Invited mom to a Canada Day party tomorrow. While he was there, we hung outside for a few minutes. "what are you thinking about?:"
Me-:"I was thinking about heavy metal music, from like the 80's. Thinking of tattoos and eyeliner on boys, of cigarette burns and hazy morning after bedrooms that you have to fan out. Thinking about the lousy few songs I have on my iPod and the fact that I might not be able to retrieve all the music I have on my dead MAC. Thinking that my sister who is 8 years younger then me is like a world apart from where I am. She's the one who's all grown up with the husband and the step kids and the house. I'm 38 and I'm just... old. "
Walsh-: "You're not old. You're only 3 years older then me."
Me-:"I still want to call it a walkman. My iPod, I still want to call it my walkman."
Walsh-:"Okay that's sort of old. What's got this all started?"
Me-:"Just a movie I was watching. Sort of the movie. Sort of just... realized how out of touch I've gotten."
Walsh-:"You're upset over a f**king movie?"
Me-:"Did you ever waver when you met your wife? I mean, back in the beginning when you first met her?"
Walsh-:"What do you mean?"
Me-:"Did anything get in the way of you asking her out?"
Walsh-:"No. Well, she was dating someone else when I first met her and she was my sister's best friend. That's how we met."
Me-:"That's what I thought. He's never going to say who he is. It's been like four years, and Mr. Scratchy has never once even commented. At lest, not to say who he is, if he commented it was anonymously."
Walsh-:"All this because of a movie?"
Me-:"I'm just tired. You know, when I first wrote the movie..."
Walsh-:"You mean your vampire movie that never got finished because of Sophia?"
Me-:"Yes, my poor excuse for a script. Anyways, when I first wrote it, I wrote my character as a divorced woman. She was a D-List horror star goth and the ex husband was a A-List porn star. That was suppose to be part of why the marriage didn't work."
Walsh-:"Oh my god. No wonder the movie sucked"
Me-:"You're not funny." but we were both laughing like lunatics to the point my cousin was beet red and my chest hurt. When we finally stopped laughing and calmed down I tired to continue telling him what my point was, but he never let me. He changed the subject talking about his kids.
Walsh-:"Hey, I haven't heard you mention Nura in awhile. You two still friends?"
Me-: "No idea. I haven't heard from her in a few months. But she gets like that, drifts in and out of people's lives. I've given up on her twice before in the past only to have her pop up like no time had past at all. Last time I did talk to her, she mentioned having to go back to the U.S. for awhile.Something about her duel citizenship and her needing her birth certificate. Why?"
He shrugged and made a face. "Haven't heard you talk about much of anything lately other then wrestling."
Me-: "Dude, I've been cooped up with a broken leg for the last four months, not much to talk about. Going stir crazy. I know I said I was going to wait till after the second surgery before I went home, but I think I might have to rethink that idea."
Walsh-: "You'll just get home and then they contact you for the surgery. Then you'll have to come right back here. You know what else sucks? You deserve to be happy. Don't be so hard on yourself."
Me-:"I'm just being honest. If Mr. Scratchy really wanted something, he'd have contacted me by now. Everyone always says to me that my time will come, that I'll meet that right man and get married. But, dude, I'm 38 years old. I don't think it's ever going to happen. Marriage just isn't in the cards for me."
Walsh-:"Speaking of wrestling. And yes I'm changing the subject cause I don't want you crying...I think that the DoubleStarr has a crush on you."
I broke out laughing for another few minutes to the point my throat was burning and my chest hurt massively. "Well I didn't see that coming at all. What the hell? "
Walsh-:"Lest you're not crying. I don't know, why not? Anything is possible right?"
Me-:"Almost anything. But I don't know about that one."
