I am twenty-one. This is a strange feeling. It's not often you get the chance to have two birthdays where you can legally start drinking.

Side note: There is a pretentious-looking indie kid sat across from me, intently buried in Silvia Plath's The Bell Jar.

So, umm, yeah. Twenny-won. No longer a teenager, no longer able to even pretend to be a ( Read more... )

Greetings, world! This is San Francisco calling! Broadcast by techni-hypo-wireless to the four corners of the globe!

I greet you from my shiny new job, ensconced behind the reception desk of the San Francisco State University STTC (Science and Technology Something Community), with Billy Bragg and an English 554 (Contemporary American Lit., Dr ( Read more... )

A brief snapshot of my current to do list for the first half of this week:

• Get a social security number tomorrow, so I can work. I'm hoping that if I get a SSN it means I can come back and get work more easily after I graduate.

You know what? I've neglected you long enough. Found a window in my embarassingly busy schedule to talk to you. You know how in my first and second years of uni I did basically nothing?

It's getting a bit like that Velvet Underground song; I am tired, I am weary, I could sleep for a thousand years. I mean, everything is still rocking along and bouncing around happily, but right now I really want a room and bed of my own, with noone else unconscious or otherwise in the room. I want thick blackout curtains, a heavy door to shut and ( Read more... )

Right now it's kind of hard to articulate, but suffice to say everything is pretty damn awesome right now. And not just because Sam found $40 which paid for our pizza and two pitchers of extremely good beer. Which more than made up for sleeping on a cold concrete floor last night because Sam, Becky and Sarah are too selfish to allow one more person ( Read more... )
