I hope you've enjoyed your hump day...but...are you actually working on a new album, or just giving people lip service about it? I'm wondering because you started out 2012 with all this energy and oomph, heading in that general direction...but now it seems like not much is going on, no more talk about it, no more hinting at it, nothing. I am just curious. You seem too busy lately, having your photo taken with all kinds of people instead. *wink* Well, for what it's worth, I do hope you will make a new album, and soon.
I was happily surprised today that my initial inquiry gained me another "friend" on Facebook. I looked up Moyes Lucas, and asked to be his friend, and today, he answered with a resounding YES. Here's the conversation so far....
- hours ago
- Hey babycakes!! Thanks for adding me!! I have such happy memories of you and Lincoln during FTLOSM tour!! You're too cool. Hope to see ya on Facebook soon!
- The pleasure is mine!
I haven't been on Facebook much in the last few weeks. It's nice to see you here!
- MOYES!! You're like a breath of fresh air! How have you BEEN?! I usually check Facebook daily, so feel free to fill me in on what's been going on with you since 1994!! Wow the years have just flown by. I live in Pittsburgh PA now, (I lived in Michigan in 1994 when you met me). I was actually living in DC for 10 years, before I moved here and got hitched. I still don't know how THAT happened. I blinked, and suddenly a ring appeared on my finger. I mean DAMN! I was SINGLE until I was FORTY YEARS OLD!! I never wanted to get hitched! But, okay, whatever, here I am.
I am very happily surprised and glad to see you again after all these years...Anyway, I hope you're doing well and still drummin' your heart out. You and Lincoln Brewster were so very fun, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I think about those days. Back then I had one of those crappy disposable cameras, so NOW the photos of you guys standing with me are rather blurry and yellowish, but I've still got 'em!!
Yep, back then I was just a shy, timid groupie-wannabe, who wrote VERY bad poetry and faxed it to ya...many times....HA! I can't believe I did all that!! I was so blown away that you got me tickets and backstage passes, though. I hope you know that was the NICEST thing that ever happened to me! That was so incredibly awesome of you. I'll never forget it! Well, take care and write anytime, and if you're ever near PA or DC, let me know and I'll be your official tour-guide! Bye for now.
So I thought that was kinda cool. I am really kind of surprised that he remembered me at all!! I mean, he met me a total of TWICE in 1994!! (SNIFF...I've met YOU twice too, in 1994, and I even write a friggin' BLOG to you every damned day, but you won't even give me the time of day, ya BUM).
But hey, that's a happy thing, so I'm in a pretty good mood this evening. I've been re-living that fun time in my head all day! Makes me almost wanna get my FTLOSM scrapbook out and look through it...I'd have to dust the poor thing off...it's been sitting in a large plastic bin in the garage for awhile. (SIGH).
Sometimes I sit and wonder if what I write sounds dopey and stupid. I mean, I hope I didn't sound like a geek in my last message to him. But, then I think, "Well, that's me, I am a dope, so screw it." And I continue on. Hence, this wonderful blog-o-mine. However, I don't know if I want to mention it to Moyes or not, he might think I'm a total loon. (He might be RIGHT about that, but still, I'd rather not have him THINK it). I have only told Lora about it, actually. Nobody else knows how to access it. I have not broadcast the URL anywhere, or anything like that. (SHIT, I mean, in case you didn't know this Stephen, this blog is an EXTREMELY embarrassing thing, you know, for a 43 year old woman to be sitting here like a teenager, nearly every DAY, writing to her favorite heart-throb from the 80's, knowing he never even bothers to read the stupid thing). Rather pathetic, actually. I know this.
I really don't know why the hell I keep doing it. I guess you're like a fungus, you kinda grow on me! Oh who am I kiddin', I am addicted, I'm a hopeless dumb-ass schlub with no life who likes to IMAGINE that you might read it someday, and be touched to know that I gave a crap about you so much to do this. I mean, as lame as this blog IS, I don't even sit here writing a blog to my own HUSBAND for cripes' sake. He might get a few TEXTS or an EMAIL once and awhile, but that's it!! I don't even write in my OWN diary anymore!! (I've had a diary since the age of 10, but at 40, I said that's it, all done, forget it). Yeah, I have boxes and boxes of my entire life story in numerous volumes. I don't know why the hell I hold on to all of them though, you'd THINK by now I'd just toss 'em. But no, they are collecting dust too.
I should get the diaries out from 1994, to re-read all about the FTLOSM tour. HA!! That would be a hoot!! I was such a dork back then. I shake my head in despair when I think about it. Ohhh, but when you took a physical step back away from me, after I mentioned I was the one who sent all those faxes, I felt like a knife went right through my heart...I cried all the way home that night...your body language spoke volumes....and I cried for days afterwards, even, knowing that I had completely freaked out the ONE person I had always wanted to meet my whole life....I told my junior high school friends at age 14 that I was going to meet you someday, too. God I felt so horrible. I'll never forget that. It really hurt.
But I hope you (and Moyes) know that I never meant any harm in doing that, hell, I had no IDEA that those faxes would even be DELIVERED. It was just an idea I had, and I figured somebody would get them off the machine, read them, and throw them all in the garbage. I just took a chance by doing that, and the whole thing was a total fluke. I think in 1994, getting a fax from somebody was a bigger deal than it is nowadays, so maybe that's why they made it to Moyes, I don't know. It was just a total bizarre fluke, a once-in-a-lifetime thing that I never imagined would actually get you and I together in the same room----TWICE. None of my friends believed me, either. They all said I was full of crap, it wouldn't work, I was wasting my time, I might get arrested for harassing you guys, etc., but I still took that chance. I figured I didn't have anything to lose, so why not?
Ah well, anyway, those were the days.
Gotta go sit in the sauna now. Just spent 30 minutes walking on the treadmill.
The next time you and I meet---and we will----I'm going to be all gorgeous and skinny...just to say, "You sexy old geezer, look what you can't handle anymore! WOO HOO!" hehehehehehe
Ain't I a stinker?!! BIG SMOOCH!!
Love you lots....
Bye for now. Love, Rebecca
