Popgurls.com interview with Jake Epstein:
Which girl would you pick? Can you tell me?

Jake: Personally? Ashley. I mean, honestly, I never understood the Manny/Craig relationship. I just think the two characters wouldn't go well together in real life.

Ash's Last Journal Entry

Have you ever done that thing with your eyes where you focus on something with like a regular pattern, like checkered curtains or something really close up and then your eyes go blurry for a second, but then when everything comes back into focus it's like a strange, vivid 3-D effect and you can't tell how close up or far away the thing you're staring at is, like even though you know it's across the room you feel like you can touch it?
That's as close as I can come to describing the last year or so with Craig. Especially since he began to have bipolar episodes. I know he's there, but no matter how far I reach, I just can't touch him. Even when he's on his medication and we're having fun, writing songs and playing music together, he's just a little bit out of reach. Of course he can't help it. He's not trying to hold back from me. It's me. On some level I just can't let myself put him into focus. I'm always worrying about him, waiting for the next bipolar episode, watching for signs. I can't trust my own judgment around him -- when he's happy is it because he's off his meds, having a manic period, or when he's upset is that because he's off his meds, or they're not working, and he's depressed? I can't tell -- and I know how much it hurts him to have me constantly questioning his moods...and it's too much for me to handle too.

So I just have to go away. It feels horrible, like I'm abandoning someone who needs me. But I need to deal with my own things, and Craig has Joey and Caitlin there for him -- not his biological parents but an amazingly supportive substitute. It was hell telling Craig I didn't want him to come with me to England, even just for the summer. I guess he figured out what that really means. But it was something I had to do.

I'm sorry...bye.

Craig's Last Journal Entry

Back to square one for both me and my tiny stepdad Joey. Weird timing -- both of our leading ladies (and onetime fiances) bail on us for faraway places (Ashley to England, Caitlin to LA) within a day or two of each other. Now it's just me, Joey and my sister. Living in a house technically owned by his oldest flame Caitlin. Don't ask me how that's going to work out...too much to thin about...man I've never seen a 30-whatever year-old guy bawl his eyes out like Joey did when Caitlin left. Funny, I was shocked, but I never really so much felt like crying when Ashley left. Must be because I'm a real man or something...yeah right. Instead I stopped taking my meds and lost my mind on the streets where some scammer stole my guitar. Real bright. Surprisingly (not) going off my meds didn't make anything better. (such an idiot sometimes -- maybe on some level I understand Ash...which is the problem of course, since she's the only person I have the slightest understanding of...full circle again...)

So here we are -- Joey with no fiance, me with no Ash and no axe. And Kevin Smith waiting to hear some amazing song I'm supposed to finish for his movie. Terrifying much? Hope I can get Jimmy to lend me his guitar...as long as I don't tell him I talked to Spinner who did his best to save my hinie...maybe he deserves another chance? not so sure...

It's going to be a quiet summer. Back to helping out at the car lot for me...a single used car salesman. Looking at Joey, maybe it's my fate. Oh man...

New thread! New thread! It's your thread day! It's your thread day!

Ellie_J · 02-19-2005, 12:41 AM

Flippin' sweet!

...All right...I'll stop with the NapDynomite stuff...

breath we drew · 02-19-2005, 12:58 AM

Heh, No prob Ellie. Heh.

Ellie_J · 02-19-2005, 01:28 AM

Well, I finally watched ND on the-n. It felt weird not having the control to fast forward to all the Crash scenes.

But it was amazing!

PinkPastry · 02-19-2005, 07:11 AM

Yay for cake!

amys21 · 02-19-2005, 09:08 AM

Mmmm, cake. I'm so happy we finally made it to 15!

On a side note, I tried to watch ND last night, but my TV and the N were not getting along, so I had to turn it off.

PinkPastry · 02-19-2005, 09:16 AM

Ohhh... that sucks. But I'm sure they'll replay like a million times today, tomarrow and Monday so you can catch it.

Ellie_J · 02-19-2005, 09:40 AM

True. I really hate it when my TV and the cable box don't get along. Sometimes it makes me want to hurt both of them...

PinkPastry · 02-19-2005, 09:44 AM

Yeah, actually it blacked out for a second on my last night and it was right during the last scene too.

Ellie_J · 02-19-2005, 09:44 AM

Man...that totally sucks. Sometimes, you really gotta hate digital.

amys21 · 02-19-2005, 10:00 AM

Yeah, the only think that makes digital cable better than regular (besides the fact that it "supposedly" gives me access to the N) is that it has the on-screen listings, so you don't have to mess around with TV guide or anything.

PinkPastry · 02-19-2005, 10:02 AM

Yeah, I love the on screen listings.

breath we drew · 02-19-2005, 10:53 AM

Yup, me too. Espically when it comes to VH1, I love my I Love the series and Surreal Life.
