Em says this all the time so now is my chance.

So I went to a party tonight.  I was forwarned that someone I didn’t particularly want to see was there (if only you could banish people).  I was also asked if I could be adult about the situation. I think I succeeded. I think that this was the first time that I didn’t throw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw this person.  I realize that I am MUCH better off than I would have been.  Something better is out there and I will find it.

So thank you to the REAL Jew (“the Jew” is only half Jewish) for telling me to come to the party.  Thanks for warning me who was going to be there and to tell me to be a grown up.  Cause really, being a grown up means that you have the ability to comprehend that things in your life are pretty damned good right now (2008! Best year ever).  Oh, and thanks for inviting my hetero life partner (even though she missed the people I was supposed to be adult in front of).

The icing on the cake was that I came home listening to Regina Spektor as these big fluffy snowflakes came down.  I felt good.  Snow makes everything seem clean and new.
