Will and Grace, Episode 1, Scene XI

This is my life…

SCENE XI: Will’s Office

(WILL is at his desk as GRACE enters.)

GRACE: Will, I am–I am so sorry for what I said back there.

[GRACE'S VEIL GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR, SNAPPING HER HEAD BACK. WILL UNCATCHES IT FOR HER.]

WILL: I know. It was mean, but… I know.

GRACE: This morning, on the way to the ceremony, Danny looked at me and said, “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,” and I turned to him and said… “you know, the limo has a phone.” It wasn’t right. He was a smart, attractive man who loved me… And who I loved, by the way. Why wasn’t it right?

WILL: Sweetie, remember in college, we saw that French film about a man and a woman that were perfect for one another, but they kept missing each other, and in the last scene, they meet on a plane, because that’s the way it was destined to be, remember? And you said, “That’s going to be me.” Gracie, you’re just in the middle of your movie. Danny was a plot point, a nice, decent, postcoital-high-5-ing plot point. There’s still time, you know. Go get some Raisinets.

GRACE: I like Red Vines.

WILL: Whatever you want. The point is, it’s not over. If your movie’s going to have a happy ending, you just have to see it through. Come here.

GRACE: Uh-uh.

WILL: [KISSING HER FOREHEAD] Mwah! What do you say we go get a drink?

GRACE: Yes!

WILL: What is with that dress?

GRACE: Oh, give me a break. I had 5 minutes to prepare for this.

WILL: Still.

2 SOTDS for a 20th.

Happy Friday everyone.

SOTD 1 is for Camcam. She was asleep in my arms while I was dancing around the lounge prior to sunrise today (insomnia, coupled with more work to do than you can count on all your digits, toes included, will make you do some crazy things, just to get some good times in. you can tell I haven’t slept, hey? oh well. i’m still smiling).

She says she was pretending to be asleep while I danced around with her. She looked so peaceful. My absolute angel nestled into me in her moo-cow pjs. All I ever want for her is a better world, a brighter sunshine and a million smiles.

SOTD – One – U2

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say…

One love
One life
When it’s one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don’t care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it’s…

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One…
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it’s all I got
We’re one
But we’re not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we’re not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One…life

SOTD 2 just came on my iTunes. It made me think of someone i like to call my person and well, in the quagmire of today I’m still sitting here smiling. That’s gotta say something, right? It speaks fucking volumes to me, thanks.

SOTD – Here and Now – Del Amitri

Hey i’m with you, let me just get you a light
And if we’d thought to listen
We might have checked if the weather was right
And i don’t mind if you want to drive all day

Hey, it’s raining, i should have brought my coat
And sometimes i could sell my soul
Just to sit and watch you smoke
And i don’t mind if you want to break my heart

‘cos you can burn paper
You can turn a wheel
But you can’t change later
Here and now just how good we can feel

Hey, stop talking, think i can hear the sea
And did i tell you the sound of the surf
Makes strange things happen to me
And i don’t mind if you want to crash the car

‘cos you turn traitor
You can turn on your heels
But you can’t change lady
Here and now just how good we can feel

And hey don’t worry, so that black cat’s some kind of curse
‘cos if bad times are coming up ahead,
Just put us in reverse

I don’t want to waste time, thinking ’bout it here and now babe
Nothing else matters but what we’ve got here and now babe.

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY.

wahhah

random. i know. i’m tired. get over it.

sunday malaise

reading: fscking property listings, again. still, i’m hopeful. and peas on toast. because it keeps me hopeful.

listening: little earthquakes – tori amos.

drinking: that compulsory glass of milk.

eating: an easter egg with pink inside.

smoking: far too much nowadays.

thinking: sheena and i are living the same life in two different postal codes/my foot is still itchy in the same place it has been for two days now/that the people across the road are so frigging into dodgy things, its beyond a joke now/that i’m going to be forced to get up and go to the office on tuesday early to avoid people moaning/wondering how long they will take to notice they don’t have connectivity (it’s happened before, the record is two days)/my back hurts. waha/why is your car in my road?/la’s text message/my favourite book/i love the word nestled/i hate decision-making/tomorrow will be a good day with old friends/the sun better shine.

adding up: the numbers along the top row of that piece of paper. they are, of course, adding up to twelve.

in line of sight: curtain. left over right. (yet another fine example of the obsessive compulsive disorder that pervades every aspect of my life, and that i’m still okay with), the little green dragon, bryth (not a real one, mind. it’s only me who has smoke come out of their nose round these parts), milk – glass of, cellphone, ashtray, cigarettes, balloons – a lot of, and pen

typing: email back to cheryl. who is totally offensive, and i love how she does the code talk so well. laughing at her sick, sick sense of humour, and her way of asking “so, what’s news?” which totally translates into “go on then, tell me every piece of hot gossip, dammit”

wanting: a muffin. whats with the muffin fanship at the moment, cath?

wishing: i was in cape town for the free tibet protest tomorrow. seriously now, it’s about fscking time the fscking chinese left tibet alone.

congratulating self on: not biting my nails for an entire day today. kudos me!

posting: this oldie, from anm. sums up what’s mulling around my brain:

at some point perhaps we could sit cross legged,
facing each other.
(I have not felt this attracted to someone in years)
let’s go lie down in your houseboat…
venture in (with god nestled in the green carpet)
say things like “so have you read all these books….”
etc…
you will tell me tragic stories and try to fluff them
off as though
everyone has members
of their nuclear family die when they’re young….
and you will be so curious about how I handled
everything with
such dignity
(we’ll debate about whether it was dignity or denial)
I will then ask you the same.
and I may never tell you about the dream I had…….
you bought me olivia newton-john posters
and black lights
and I had you all to myself for an hour and I pushed
you
up against the wall and kissed you and it was
electrifying

good night. sleep tight. hope you got your chocolate rations in.

wah

it’s amazing what you can find on the internet when you have insomnia and you google people’s email addresses.

nuff. said.

at 1am, this made me giggle a little on the inside

bash.org.

Nameskaz: can you help me with an experiment real quick?
MarineWife021406: sure
Nameskaz: let me see you naked
MarineWife021406: no
Nameskaz: you see, these fortune cookies are bullshit
Nameskaz: “Your courage will reward you” my ass
