I was reminded of how much this is true when I came back from New York City (which was great) to find the first parking ticket I have ever received plastered by rain to the front window of my car. Apparently, I was parked on the wrong side of my street. I was confused, because I'd been living there for days and had never seen a no parking sign. In ( Read more... )

I was working from 9-2 today, which is, like, nothing, but I still came home and straight up passed out. But this entry is not about how lame I am: This afternoon before I left this customer came up to me and said she was looking for the new book by Zane, who is in the African American Lit section. I don't know who they are, but from the looks of ( Read more... )

I feel like my life this past week has just been a long succession of clumsy things. Saturday night I was playing poker at Brian's place, wearing this new dress I bought at Target. This is important to the story. I was sitting in this (apparently unstable) directors' chair when my phone rang, and I leaned back in the chair to pick it up. And then ( Read more... )

Flunk Day was Thursday, after a week of speculation. Xavier invited a small group of seniors to a "leadership conference" at Fun City on Wednesday night, which seemed so obvious it sounded like a red herring, but really, what else could it have been? Caroline Allen was on the trip. She told Sibel that if she called her between 10:00 and 11:00 it ( Read more... )

Then he told me he was from Syracuse University and I almost choked on my own spit ( Read more... )

Today is the day of free shit. Instead of doing anything productive today (Honors, grad school, you know, petty concerns) I decided to sit around all morning and then take the bus to Target. I then proceeded to buy two sweaters, a down vest, a t-shirt, a can of tuna, a bottle of white-out, a tube of lipstick, and some eyeshadow. When the lady rang ( Read more... )

Well. It's now my senior year, and I haven't had an entry in months, but the other day seemed like a good day to immortalize, so I decided to break the silence. It was just seriously excellent ( Read more... )

Yesterday Maddy and I went to the choir concert at the church on the square because we hadn't hung out all term. Maddy had been to Western the night before and kept fishing things, like batteries and a My Little Pony Happy Meal toy out of her pockets. She was telling me about this guy (who shall remain unnamed) with whom she has several classes, ( Read more... )
