10:36 am	What are you doing for NYE? Tell me of your wild and crayayayzy plans. I am staying around here and probably going to a party, though I really don't care which one. A low-key New Year's is fine with me, as I've partied enough this past year to last me for a while. My friend Erica is moving up here from Providence next week, and she'll be my sidekick for the night. Current Mood: indifferent Current Music: Calexico - Convict Pool (Comment on this)

9:47 pm	Well that fragile happiness Keeps me from forgetting That this fragile happiness Keeps me afloat when I'm sinking The first generation Caused such a sensation Gave all an elation But I'm in Deep Space Nine Hitting wormholes all of the time But that fragile happiness Stops the nightmares when I'm sleeping And where catholics confess From my guilt there's no escaping We'll go to Miami Take old friends and family We'll stay out and party Does Will Smith lie? Does he ever cave in and cry? Current Mood: word. Current Music: will smith and friends - wild wild west (Comment on this)

9:57 am	"when you were mine" When you were mine I gave you all of my money Time after time You done me wrong It was just like a dream You let all my friends come over and meet And you were so strange You didn't have the decency to change the sheets Oh girl, when you were mine I used to let you wear all my clothes You were so fine (so fine) Maybe that's the reason That it hurt me so I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) Cuz I love u, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did When you were mine When you were mine You were kinda sorta my best friend So I was blind (so blind) I let you fool around I never cared (didn't care) I never was the kind to make a fuss When he was there Sleeping inbetween the two of us I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don’t care (don't care) Cuz I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did When you were mine When you were mine U were all I ever wanted to do Now I spend my time Following him whenever he’s with you I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don’t care (don't care) Cuz I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more that I did When you were mine When you were mine, yeah, oh no Love you, baby Love you, baby When you were mine Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (Think: Mountain Goats, but more electronic and lamer lyrics) does a great cover of this Prince song.

7:56 pm	i think i'm on the verge of a new relationship and for once it's not freaking me out. we haven't even kissed yet. it's a nice feeling. also, for those who don't already know, i've quit drinking. been going to AA meetings but not sure if they're for me. met some nice people there though, hung out with a few of them tonight- played games, listened to music. i hadn't done something like that in a long without drinking.

6:04 am	is a quarter life crisis like a reverse mid-life crisis? or does it involve some form of regression? Do you need someone to hide behind Well I don’t mind Well I don’t mind Do you need to be alone to unwind Well that’s alright That’s alright Sure I know its hard Know that it’s that way for everyone For every one Something go wrong Sing so low you even blame the sun You blame is at the cause Of the shadows on the wall They’re not as bad as they appear Could it be that it’s the season of the shark Do you need someone to help you through Well I don’t know I don’t know Someone to take questions with you I don’t know I don’t know I want to be The one to make you feel okay right now Some way, some how So when I fall short I sink so low that I even blame the clouds For blocking out the sun And the shadows on the wall That’s why you feel alone Could it be that it’s the season of the shark? Please don’t be afraid No matter how much out there scares you so Scares you so Just look around If it’s not me then someone else you know And I don’t belong at all Ignore the shadows on the wall They don’t mean a thing Could it be that it’s the season I believe that it’s the season of the shark Current Mood: confused Current Music: Annie (Comment on this)

12:11 pm	i was so annoyed, around 9:30am. these two girls around my age in line were acting weird and pretending to be lesbians i think? anyhow, they were giggling when when they were ordering, and then one of them says to me "rough morning?" and i'm like... "uh yeah, do i look it?" and she says yes. i'm just like "it's early... or, it was early when i got here." and i'm like WTF? there's a line out the door and i've been up since 6am, what does she expect? and how do they know i don't always look like this? when they leave i said to one of them, "thanks for your concern" and she just sort of smirked at me. i told one of the bakers about it and she's like, "ugh, i know- i hate when ppl who don't know you say you look tired, maybe i always look like this!" it's true, if we didn't all know and love macauly culkin, we'd think he was tired all the time on account of those baggy eyes. my roommate says he gets asked by strangers a lot if he's feeling alright, but he does sort of look like a cancer patient.

1:55 am	much needed time-away. D.C. was great... my aunt is so laid-back and awesome that spending any time with her is guaranteed rejuvination. friday night i slept for like 2 hours so i was pretty exhausted on saturday, and the individual school graduation was indoors and drawn-out, but we walked back to the house in georgetown and it was nice out. the sunday big graduation was on the "mall" lawn by the washington monument and it was beautiful and great to spend time with my cousin jake, whom i hadn't seen in 3 1/2 years. what a good kid-- he reminds me of jimmy so much now, and he's a good year older than jim which is sort of hilarious to me. everyone is worried about my older cousin sarah, who has had a lot of health problems recently. i also hadn't seen her in over 3 years, and she looked completely different. her face was really hollow and her eyes sunken, although she looked bigger over-all than she had 3 yrs ago. i guess she lost 40 pounds within a matter of months and doctors found that she has a overactive thyroid. she was having trouble walking and didn't come to the graduation. sunday night all "us kids" went out to see a late showing of the new star wars movie and i got to see the apartment that matt and jake will be living in this summer until matt joins the family in NYC in the fall and jake goes back to california. i can't wait to visit debbie and barry in NYC; they're going to be living between flatiron and union square, right in the middle of all the good stuff. matt will probably end up in brooklyn, which is always convenient. job search begins tomorrow; expect to see me baristering at toscaninni's or 1369 (or someplace else around here) all summer and probably the fall semester as well.

12:09 am	awesome. my douchey neighbor parked his cab blocking the one spot left in the lot. it took like 15 min to squeeze in to the spot w/o scratchy my new car, because on monday night i parked on the street b/c of a similar situation, without realizing it was the ONE tuesday a month where they sweep the streets, and my car was towed. (-$65) then i get to the door that the lock has been broken for probably a year, at least since i moved in, and apparently tonight for some reason either the landlord or the cab driver (friends) decided to fix the lock. of course i don't have the key. so i stick my unopened bottle of diet sprite zero in my purse and gather my belonings and head around the other side of the house. both hallway lights have been out for who knows how long, so i feel my way up the bannister until i reach my apt.... but i can't see the lock so i reach in my bag for the cellphone to use as a flashlight, and MY CELLPHONE IS DEAD DUE TO SPRITE INTAKE. so now i need to buy a new phone tomorrow which in order to not pay $500 i will be stuck for another 2 YEARS with cingular, which doesn't even get good reception in my apartment. (-$100+ 2 more years of cellphone hell). i have maybe $100 left in my account + hopefully getting $500 back from taxes (god knows when). cross yr fingers that it's not too late to apply for a student loan. OH GOD AND I HAVE TO SEE MY PARENTS TOMORROW NIGHT. Current Mood: pissed off Current Music: comets on fire (6 Comments |Comment on this)
