And they're gone. My early twenties are officially over and I'm moving on to this next, supposedly more adult part of my life. I rang in the change with a lemon drop at a random bar on Southport. Selena pulled me inside and we took the shot right at midnight, and simultaneosly "Romeo and Juliet" started playing on the jukebox, an old favorite of ( Read more... )

I historically hate Halloween, minus a few years when I was still a kid and could go trick-or-treating. As a costume designer, one would think that I could create creative costumes with little effort, but the fact is that when it comes to picking what I am going to be, I feel stressed and irritated, and then despise every moment of being in actual ( Read more... )

So my time for preparing for school is quickly coming to a close. I have approximately three weeks to get financial aide set up as well as complete the last process of applications to attend Columbia. After this, I will wait two weeks and sign up for all of my classes ( Read more... )

All I know is I want my bed to not always be so empty, and yet I can't find anyone I want to fill it. In a city of 8 million people, somehow no one that I like likes me ( Read more... )

Good lord I need to update this thing. Marilyn Manson still? Bah, but I'm too lazy.

I'm a bit boy crazy at the moment, basking in the joy of single life, though not actually acting on any of my feelings. Boy 1 took me on dates, allowed me to take him on dates, kissed me, cuddled in bed with me (all clothes on mind you), and then texted me that he was a little busy hanging out with his BOYFRIEND. But doesn't recognize why I was ( Read more... )

The high yesterday was 1. With wind chill it was 30 below 0. I forgot to wear long underwear, but was running too late to go back and get them. I walk 1/4 of a mile to the bus stop and then again back home.

The first burst of wind honestly left me wondering if the clothes I saw on my body were an illusion.

Enough said.
