Do You Like The Blog Name?

I went with Brand New Woo because it was a spin on a Brand New You!

But I'm thinking I may have been too hasty.

I recently thought of "Brave New Woo" which of course is a take on "Brave New World."

What do you prefer? I might be changing blog addresses again so please bear with me...!!

Don't Have To Be Beautiful, But It Helps

I just spoke to The Guy. Yes, I'm still hung up on him, though I'm much better today than earlier this week, when the depression I was under prompted me to delete the old blog and to sell off part of my Madonna collection online. Getting rid of stuff I've been collecting for years may or may not be the right thing to do, but I really wanted to feel lighter, breezier, less bogged (and blogged) down.

Anyway, The Guy and I had a nice conversation. Someone just broke into his car and he was a bit upset about it and he was stressed about the upcoming shows that he's putting on and that I've helped him with in the past. I gave him a nice pep talk and he felt better immediately and told me how good I was to him. Yeah, I know I am.

However, earlier this week I was ready to send him an email that detailed all the reasons why I should and do hate him. Of course it was 3AM when I was coming up with said reasons - why are things always so fucked up at night? In the light of day, I was much more calmer and much less psychotic. I didn't send him the email I had written in my head, and I'm glad I didn't.

I think I've chosen to take the high road and to not lay guilt trips on him and act all sullen and moody around him like I did the past weekend. Instead, I'll show him I'm happy to see him because I genuinely am. Sure, some days it might kill me inside, but I don't think I want to turn into the bitter jaded queen that I was headed to becoming earlier this week. Life's too short to be bitter. I'm also going to try to NOT hold my breath for him, either. I have thrown in the towel and been sad about it, but again, life's too short to spend wallowing in sadness, right?

Am I just in denial? I don't know. I guess time will tell if I have another near nervous breakdown. Until then, I'm going to wait anxiously for the new Pet Shop Boys CD "Yes" to be released.

Are we human or we dancer?

"Give my regards to soul and romance, they always did the best they could, and so long to devotion, you taught me everything I know..."



Am so in love with Brandon Flowers right now.

Welcome to my new blog!!! I didn't think I was going to blog anymore, having had a few days off and doing things OTHER than blogging. But, I guess all I needed was a fresh new start and here I am! Hope you like it. I'm hoping to be more open on here and talk about some stuff I haven't talked about on my old blog, but also keeping some of the same elements too. Thanks to everyone who followed me over and for putting up with my dramatics. It's been a hard week to get through and I wouldn't have been able to without your kind words, texts, and emails, so thanks.

I put this video up by the Killers because Brandon Flowers is damn gorgeous when he's clean shaven and not wearing eye makeup. Also, the song is just so beautiful and has a bit of melancholy mixed with a freshness that I think reflects my mood and my new blog! I'm happy to be back and hope you will be return again soon!
