ahhh ESPAÑA!  land of siestas, sangria y calimocho.

i must confess i was pretty damn homesick when i first got here but i guess it was a normal part of the adjustment process.  the language barrier was a little bigger than i expected.  in public i can pretty much ask for directions, the price of something, and if there´s a bathroom.  hopefully in 5 ( Read more... )

Sometimes we just need to work harder for it, at it.  So is life and living, no?

I remember Boston w/ Anna.  We got our lips waxed then told her bf he and his friends couldnt hang out w/ us for an hour.  We ran into his at the T anyway.. he got off just as we were getting on so we dragged him w/ us.  Before that we hated school so we gorged ( Read more... )

why i will no longer take my family to the city, even if mom says she wants to go- b/c once we get there, parking is a hassle (well, not really) and then they give up and we drive home. and they are satisfied. yes, really. we went in the other night to drop off my roommate's stuff and my plan was to walk around the neighborhood, enjoy the good ( Read more... )

mmm. italian ice, subway, & carnival zepolis all in one night.  listened to a couple new weezer songs while driving along.  we were all gonna watch a bootleg but ended up just hanging out in my messy living room.  and true to form i started falling asleep towards the end of the night, which was the cue for the others to start leaving.  actually ( Read more... )

my friend has my copy of perks for the summer.  that's love.  she did lend me her dogeaters- so i get to read that over the summer.  my (mental) list of books to read must be 4.17 miles long, i wonder if i'll ever complete it.  same thing goes for the list of movies i'd like to watch.

"why do i keep hitting myself in the head with a hammer?  because it feels soooo good when i stop."

trial by fire- i love trying new things.  i love pushing myself.  and i don't just say that.  i've realized it by looking back on things i've done that i had no prior experience in at all.  case in point- my jobs: chemical company, television ( Read more... )
