Naturally, and as the odds demand, I didn't win. Somebody has to win, and you have to play to win, as the saying goes. I didn't stay up to watch the drawing and wouldn't even know what channel they do that kind of thing on but it was fun to do something knowing that a snowball's chance in hell is still a chance. I don't do it often so it's fun to be delusionaly hopeful once in a while.
Random and not related to anything really, it's not fair to be disappointed in people for what they aren't to you. Sometimes they are doing it all wrong, saying all the wrong things, not doing the right things, not available, too much in your grill...whatever isn't quite right for you. I suppose that is why people generally have circles of friends and not just one.

Love it: a snowball's chance in hell is still a chance
Interesting take on friends. I soooo battle myself in that area -- where I know damned well that I shouldn't be irritated/annoyed/etc - but still I can't just simply knock it off. (Then I'm pissed with myself and it's a vicious circle.)
Teresa, this is precisely why I wrote that piece about friends-I do the same thing and was feeling bad about it. Was trying to not vent about how I was annoyed by trying to take a step back. It didn't really work, as my annoyance hasn't quite evaporated but I at least don't feel righteous in my indignation this time. :-)
On an unrelated note, you should know that your comments here are like a delicacy. I try not to read them all at once because I savor them and enjoy them soooo much. You really have quite a way with words yourself, you really do. That comment about the sapling root in your yard...still thinking about it. That was beautiful. I appreciate that you get where I was coming from, I appreciate your comments, and all that notwithstanding, I appreciate you. Thank you!
