That’s nice. Less than 24 hours after I missed Duffy in Minneapolis, she played Chicago, where I had been just six days earlier. Ah, timing…

Danny, stuff like that used to make me NUTS. I’m SO SORRY that you didn’t get to see DUFFY. It just wasn’t in the brochure this go round.
But you will, young man. Mark my words…
I guess I was just too arrogant. I’m mainly talking about ROMANTIC timing now.
From the time I was a teenager (where these matters were concerned), I would take EVERYTHING personally. Well, I do anyway. ALL THE TIME. If someone had to do something that had a fleeting negative impact on a relationship (like say go off to a conference and spend some time away from our city or they weren’t ready when I was) I would have a major fit. It would hurt very deeply.
I don’t know how many times my mama and my friends would tell me that my charm, my charisma, my lovely flowing yellow hair, my splendid rack, my distracting legs, my smoky voice, my intellect, my wit, my sense of style blahblahblah really didn’t come into play in those situations. People have to deal with whatever they have to deal with – and it doesn’t have anything to do with me. AT ALL.
It’s tough. it doesn’t hurt any less when you’re in one of those situations. Believe me. Certainly all that stuff is good for something (I’m sure… ) but there are circumstances that come up where it really doesn’t make much of a difference.
I imagine the world does NOT revolve around me. But that’s what it feels like. I guess it’s just not applicable to everything right across the board.
So is timing everything (in every situation), as some people suggest?
NO. No, it isn’t. But it’s a lot.
*irreverent sigh* Growing up is such a bitch….
