Too Much
Do you ever feel happy and sad at the same time? That weird feeling, where you don't know what to feel because there's too many polar opposite feelings inside you, bouncing around in your stomach?
I checked my email today, and was exstatic to recieve one from my old buddy Way, the tickler of the ivories I love so well. He's going to be playing piano on that girl's cd, and he heard from his teacher who is the aunt of my cello teacher that she wanted me to do it. I haven't played with him in forever. He used to be so much fun to play with. So, now I'm almost positive that I'm going to say yes on Wednesday evening during my next lesson. I'm so excited. Since we go to different schools now, and we don't play in the same orch, I never get to see him. I'm jumping at the chance to play with him. Even if it is to Only Hope.
M.C. is in Iraq. (Not your MC, Ames!) We found out today. I knew it was a possibility, but I never thought that it would actually happen. It's bad enough that A.F and I.Bobst are over there. I don't want anything to happen to them. Any of them. As much as I know that they are going over there to help people who can't help themselves right now, and that they signed up for this, I still wish that it was someone elses friends. Is that bad? Is it wrong of me to wish that it was someone elses son, friend, brother, sister, husband, wife, daughter, other than mine and my friends and families?
On a slightly more positive note, I am almost done with Amy's fic and her review. I think that I broke my own record with this one. And it really surprised me. And I've been aware of my rambling skills a lot longer than any of you have. So, be prepared to be shocked.

I'm so sorry you've found out about your friend (relative? You didn't say) is in Iraq. It is very hard having someone over there. A good friend of ours just came back after being there for almost two years. I hope they all come back safely.
To whatever else is bothering you that you didn't blog about--you know you've got my prayers and good thoughts.
I just got home and it took me about five minutes to stop gaping at the length of your review and just read it--you've outdone yourself. I bow to your abilities to review. I will never doubt you again! And I don't think I can beat you, but I will try next time. I promise.You always deserve the kind of smiling and laughter that you've just bestowed upon me.
Okay. I'm off to blog about work. It went well, by the by. And maybe I'll write my new rogan chapter, even though you won't deign to read it. M will. But I know you both love me.
hugs and kisses,
ames
You gave Amy a post but didn't on mine? Hah! Friend you are. :(
J/K. :D Just wanted to show you that I have some flair for the theatrics.
I know the deployment situation a little too well. Brian has been to Iraq twice already and is going back for a third in October. He was there when he celebrated his first wedding anniversary, he left when his baby was a week old, and now he's headed back and his baby won't see him until probably her third birthday. My other friend Steve just lost his wife on a divorce because of deployment and I have a girlfriend who found out that her hubby had left her with all the bills and the kid and him with the money. So, in retrospect, it is sad to hear that your friend is deployed to Iraq but you should be glad that your friend has enough people that care enough about him not to be put in a situation like what my friends are going through. Also, I've been on the deployment end. If it's any consolation, what you hear in the news is what the media wants to hype. If he's in the REMF (Rear End Mo-Fo), he's going to be fine as long as he keeps his nose clean and his peepee in his pants.
Lastly, good luck again on the taped session. Having a great pianist on hand is always cool. Having them as friends is greater.
Take care!
