I love my new apartment. It is in a lovely neighbourhood, one which I would explore further on foot if not for this hellish heatwave. I bought some grape koolaid from some kids down the block earlier. It did not seem a waste of a quarter for iced purple sugar water. I gave them fifty cents; hell, everyone's gotta make a living ( Read more... )

Last night was amateur strip night. It's been better, people were taking themselves too seriously. I was merely a spectator, of course. And for the first time, no one hit on my *dates*. which was odd...considering they were both gay. hmmmm ( Read more... )

So I'm standing in front of the full length mirror in a crimson bridesmaid's dress, and it fits (which without being altered is nothing short of a miracle for my body). And while I am indeed scowling slightly at my reflection, I am not thinking "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" or "When will it be ME?" but rather, "I look so fucking ( Read more... )

I am living in a sty. Why bother organizing when I'm moving again in a week? gr. One of my big-ass suitcases is in the middle of my floor, apparently I like walking over things. Boxes, clothes, a kettle, broken printer, books books books, and several lovely art pieces. None of which are from db. but I'm not bitter. still just sad/elated/ ( Read more... )

db broke up with me thursday night. i had been thinking about it, as well, but now I wish I would've had the balls to do it before him. but I'm just so scared of being alone. we're just too different, was his line, over and over again. I could've loved you if you'd let me, was mine. and I could've. we don't hate each other, which is good. ( Read more... )

In between playing solitaire on the computer and other means of procrastinating on my 12-14 page research paper (in spanish, mind you), I came up with these vignettes, and for lack of anything else to do with them, am putting them here, in rough draft format. Comment, or not. All two and a half of you ( Read more... )

Tornado season has arrived. I guess. None in the city today, but thunderstorms and odd acting weather throughout the day. It was disconcerting. This type of wind always causes strange things to happen and today was no exception. I walked out this morning in the 65 degrees (F) with what must have been 100% humidity and was instantly reminded ( Read more... )

Well. Life is busy, isn't it? I went home for a few days over spring break. I have 4 cavities. Will get that taken care of soon. It's not my fault; I have very deep grooves. It was good to be in my house...for about a day, then I got so bored I found myself staring through some antique binoculars at my mom's latest fish across the living room ( Read more... )

Achoo, rather. Have a dreadful cold/sinus infection. Things are going well otherwise. I've been working at the bookstore a ton, which is good. I shelved a ton into scifi/fantasy yesterday, which made me feel beyond fabulous as there were piles everywhere. Classes....I have been skipping here and there, it's a miracle if I manage to make it to ( Read more... )

Last night I came to the stark realization that I actually only have one friend in this entire town now. two if you count the boyfriend. this is doing my head in. seriously, make the spinning stop.
