Since Katie left the other night I have turned into a full fledged "latch-key kid." Annie’s former special-ed teacher has come to stay with us until the parents come home late tomorrow night. Needless to say that I feel much less obligated/interested in hanging out with the both of them. This leaves me with absolutely no responsibility to anyone ( Read more... )

Every morning as I wake up to go to work with nothing but dread in my core. Everything that I have ever hated becomes embodied in that circular "Einstein Bros. Bagels" sign that stands on the side of Fort Union. I have served so many "Plain bagel, toasted, with strawberry schmear"s that the concept of having any bagel with cream cheese is now ( Read more... )

In response to wellsofsilence's comments about jobs getting old... I have served so many "Plain bagel, toasted, with strawberry schmear"s that the concept of having any bagel with cream cheese is now thoroughly unappetizing. Not nauseating, but it just doesn't sound good. Also I have found it somewhat difficult to go to any food service place. I ( Read more... )

I don't know why I feel like posting this, I suppose its because I was surprised at the reaction I had. Today at work I was somewhat busy ringing people through at the drive-thru window when a customer informed one of my co-workers that there was a dead cat behind the restaurant. At first I thought that he was joking and then I realized that he ( Read more... )

The other day on wellofsilence’s AIM buddy info he posted the lyrics from what appear to be a Ben Folds Five song.  I post them below:

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here

This sent me off on another one of my random, introspective swings.  If you’re not interested I won’t ( Read more... )

I just wanted to do a quick update informing about my latest bit of news. I am now a productive member of society! (read: I got a job!) I finally got hired at Einstein Bros. Bagels (the one on Fort Union, for you locals). They seemed pretty hesitant to hire me at first however it helps to offer the option that I will be able to work for a month ( Read more... )

Got back from France on Wednesday night. On the whole it was an ( Read more... )

So I got everything packed, stored, shipped, and laundered. It's quite a surreal experience to spend two semesters creating your habitat and to see all of it put into boxes and sorted in three hours. I'm horribly missing everyone. I'm the only one awake in our hotel room right now. It's so quiet. I almost miss hearing Carl, John, Jay, and ( Read more... )

Dear sweet Jesus my roommate is/was weird! Eliot has been packing up his side of the room for the past few days and loading it into his car. He had told me that he was leaving sometime today around noon. I was sleeping in, somewhat like 9 am, and heard him moving about in his usual fashion in the morning. The next thing I heard was him taking ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention. My parents and Annie are coming to NY to help me ( Read more... )
