All I want for Xmas is to be bored and alone for a few days

[Cleo]

Normally I would not want to be alone over the holidays but this year has left me craving peace and solitude.

Just spent the last few months having breakfast with carpenter, masons, and other craft people. All of them have been very nice but it gets old real fast having workers in your house all the time.

Then just as things are nearing completion two different people that I used to date show up asking for a place to stay. What is even worse is they are getting jealous of each other and giving me attitude because I don't want either of them anymore.

Today I'm waiting for the granite workers who will also be here on Tuesday also I'm told. I still have a few more days of carpenters and mason people to look forward to in January.

I think I need a vacation from people for a few days.

I had to google for the word vacation -- it seems that the word vacation is just as elusive as gabbo.

I've always thought of a vacation as that thing where you take your laptop to remote places so that it can experience the adventure of finding internet access in new places.

We as just bipeds who's function in life is to provide transportation to the silicon intelligence.

I thought we were all the dream of a turtle sleeping at the bottom of an ocean?

Or is it the lab rats that really are experimenting with us?

Being one that is not "into" Xmas.... I long for those quiet solitary days....

In times gone by I used to look forward to the fact that on Xmas day... no one would be knocking on my door... ahh silence.. I miss it

You need to kick your ex boyfriends out, what the hell kinda crap is that? Your house, you deserve the peace and quiet.. I applaude you big heart, but they don't sound like the most well adjusted bunch.. Who asks their ex girlfriend if you can live with her? Where's their condo/house/whatever? Please tell me you don't also have a BF.. If my GF decided to let her ex BFs stay over... I'd say yeah, and then beat the shit out of each one of them when she isn't looking and say they got jealous and tried to hit me...

I hear ya, Cleo. That's what I asked for this year. To just not have Christmas, no dysfunctional family gatherings, no decorating, no gifts that I always end up spending too much on, no dealing with crazy people in the stores. Just peace and quiet.

So, tonight I've got the house to myself, I'm going to make myself a little dinner, watch a little TV and then spend the evening building a freesite.

Tomorrow, we'll have a Soprano's marathon and more relaxing, maybe some soothing music. Whatever we do it will be peaceful. No drama, no pressures, no need to smile and make nice when I feel grumpy or sad. Ahhh!

Next year I'll be regrouped and ready to deal with it all again. But I'm enjoying this year.

(I'd take it as compliment that your ex's are wanting your full attention. Even if it's annoying, it could be a way of saying alot about how they feel about you.)

Cleo wants to be alone so stop talking to her.

Pretend she's Gabbo

Porn Princess, all my relatives were nice enough to either die or move away but at least one of the dead ones seem to have turned out to not be so dead after all.

EdgeMedia, ex boyfriends??? How hetro of you to assume they are male. Well actually a few of them have been male. One of them, the one with the tits, gets out of prison in 2007 but I really don't see me being nice enough to let him come stay with me since he tried to murder me.

I just finished watching Dr. Stranlove, Sherk 2, Terminal, and Boogie Nights with my two house guests.

It is strange how people that we have dated at one time become like relatives or extended family. They drive us crazy but because they are now family we put up with them.

So Cleo... after you write your autobiography Who's going to play you in the movie?

Have a merry day!

I was thinking of trying to have Grace Jones cloned.

Not sure were they would find a collection of misfits, some somewhat dangerous, to play the conundrum of what is loosely referred to as my love life.

Turned out to be a beautiful, if not somewhat overcast, day here. I have all the windows open and even went for a short bike ride.

I really feel like going to look at paint colors and pick out something for my patio and maybe even paint it but nothing is fucking open.

Hmmm sounds like a John Waters movie... or maybe Tim Burton, if you want to go dark. Maybe even David Lynch.

Well hubby left this morning to see his "family" and I have been computering and sleeping and eating and watching tv and drinking and drugging.

What a glorious day!

No family drama, no phone calls, no bullshit.

It is actually quite lovely being alone today!

Damn it anyway, another year gone by, and still no pony! Maybe next year.

I told both of them last night that they needed to find another place to stay so I have peace and quiet at the Cleo household this morning.

Yesterday morning I was down to one house guest who came in the bathroom while I was taking a shower to let me know that she was going out for the day. About five minutes later, after I thought that I was alone in the house, I hear someone making noise. Thinking that someone had broken into my house or something, images of the shower scene from the movie Psycho going through my head, I'm kind of freaking out when she pops back into the bathroom to let me know that she had closed all the windows and doors and locked up everything. WTF I'm home why would I want all the windows closed and all the doors locked???

Then last night I'm at home alone listening to music with all the lights dimmed and candles burning just relaxing when she comes to my door, turns on every light in my house, turns down my music, blows out my candles, starts asking me do things for her and wants to know why I look like I'm being disturbed or something. I just looked at her and told her that her stay with me has ended and to go find another place to stay.

Not sure where the other house guest. Maybe she went back to New York or even better maybe she moved back to Russia.
