(no subject)
things have started looking up since my last dreary entry.
+ my friends started a "fans and stalkers of tiffany martinez" group on myspace
+ last night we blew off duty for an hour and went to the beach and played on the swings when it was about 20 degrees outside.
+ i stayed up until 4a.m. watching PeeWee's Playhouse on DVD
+ got 7 full guiltless hours of sleep
+ had lunch with 2 FABULOUS people. they both make me so happy, and one of them i discovered at the beginning of the week. he is best friends with my former roommate of the writing and thinking workshop and both of them are 2 of the most uplifting and unique people you could ever hope to meet. he wears a fedora, watches ghostbuster cartoons, supports my idea that we should bring back a secret word of the day (like in peewee's playhouse), and plays the air guitar while standing on his chair in the middle of the cafeteria.
+ on my way out of the caf, i randomly said something to a group of kids standing on the stairs and as i was walking away, this girl was like, "can i ask you a question? do you know someone whose sister is named hannah?" OMG! i knew this girl, emily, in high school. So it turns out this cool girl (named diane) also did the WTW!! she said "i recognized you and have been wanting to talk with you all year. are you a senior? grrrr! i wish i had talked with you sooner."
we made plans to soon hang out.
- i was riding my bike back to north campus and the chain came off the gear and i crashed my bike. did everyone in the caf see? probably? do i care? not really. i fixed the gear and kept riding. once i was back on north i realized that my handle bars and front wheel are crooked/bent/not what they should be. does somebody want to come and fix it for me? there is no way in hell i am going back to working bikes. those guys were assholes.
i am probably moving to stl for the summer. so not only does that mean i will get to hang out with good people, it also means i will need to fix my bike cause i don't have a car. seriously, i will give you my soul if you teach my how to fix my bike.
so aside from the little bike fiasco, things are definitely getting better.
on the agenda for the rest of the day: probably chicago or evanston for some off campus reading and a coffeehouse concert tonight at Uncommon Ground. i have never seen this woman before but she's on the same label as ellis so it'll probably be good.
