something different 4 by disturbia city

Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to?
You give me something I can hold onto
I know you think I’m like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny, I got your number,
I need to make you mine.
Jenny, don’t change your number,
8-6-7-5-3-0-9 (8-6-7-5-3-0-9)
8-6-7-5-3-0-9 (8-6-7-5-3-0-9)
Jenny, Jenny, you’re the girl for me.
You don’t know me but you make me so happy.
I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve.
I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed.

In response to the post “So Smart, Feelin’ Blue”, Jen, a reader of the blog, wrote:
“Big fan of your blog, Mike! I almost wish I were closer so I could meet you.”
“Who’s this about? What happened?”
Hey Jen, I called 867-5309 tonight. They never heard of you. What’s up with that?
Thanks for writing! I hadn’t posted anything in six days because I’m never sure anyone reads anything!
You’re causing me to write new stories about what happened with Chloe and Erica (new girl).
At the bottom of every post, in tiny print for some reason, it says “Published In” and then gives the name of the category in which I place the story. The category is generally the name of the girl. In this case, the girl is Danielle.
Danielle is a student at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her mind amazes me. She was feeling sad and overwhelmed Wednesday evening, and I was worried about her when I woke up Thursday. I sent her that email. We’ll be meeting for the first time next week. She responded to the email with these words:
“Thank you for the kind words. That’s all I can say tonight, but I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your thoughts- they gave me courage.”
I did send Danielle a link to the blog, but I don’t think she reads it.
Adriana LOVED the blog.
Geanna and I were to go to the Black Ensemble Theater tomorrow (Saturday) night, but she cancelled to go to Savannah’s birthday party. Since I already bought the tickets, I’m taking a new girl instead.
The new girl is 30 with a Masters Degree in Russian History. She seems to be a nutcase replete with issues, EXACTLY my type!
Now, instead of Saturday, Geanna wants to go to the Black Ensemble Theater Sunday, and I admit some reluctance on my part. I’m trying to be less involved with dancers, but they do make for the best stories! I kinda really do think in terms of story potential.
Hmmm!!! Maybe I should meet YOU!!!
Tonight was to be with a 35-year-old who wants to cry about severe relationship issues with her husband, but she did not confirm. I wanna cry about Adriana! The husband cheats on her non-stop. Adriana is with another.
What are you doing, Adriana?
Regarding the married woman, I am not into casual sex at all. It is an empty feeling. I am into listening to a woman in great pain, and attempting to show her a path. As if I know anything!!! Now, if she’s REALLY HOT, I do forget all about the empty feelings.
I was on the phone last night for a long time with Maggie. She wanted to come over. She wants to move in. I did not agree, thank God, but I am VERY vulnerable due to the loss of Adriana.
Adriana, where are you???
Mika was on the phone forty minutes this morning, ranting about the father of her four-year-old son. I haven’t seen her in a year. I am so proud of her for turning her life around. I still do love her a little. Shockingly, she was put in Jail this afternoon. That’s the subject of a full post, maybe today or tomorrow.
I start a writing class Monday at the University. I may start the four-year Asian Classics program Tuesday, but am not sure. Just too much going on.
You would be the first person I would meet through the blog, and I would be honored! I did meet Jo Ann of the blog “Just JoAnn” through my blog, but not in person.
Jo Ann and I have talked on the phone. I have such great affection for her! She and I have a father/daughter relationship, and she is very, very special to me. She gives me great emotional support. I’m the father, and the daughter is the strong one in this relationship!!! She wants me to give a toast at her wedding! Isn’t that sweet? Maybe I love her to death!!! She has no wedding plans at the moment.
I will live forever, but sometimes things do happen. I have given the password to my blog to Jo Ann, and have asked her to keep my stories alive. That’s how much I care for her and trust her!
I cannot tell you enough how devastated I am by the loss of Adriana. I just can’t get over losing her. Maybe I don’t want to get over losing her. Jen, I have lost women in the past, but this loss is different. It has shaken me to my core. It has demolished my very foundations, foundations weak to begin with. I cannot imagine life without Adriana, yet that is the life I am living.
Adriana, come home, honey.
