My hair is so wavy right now that it sort of looks like twisted strands of DNA. I'm not sure why I came up with that association. I burned a knuckle something aweful making salmon for my mom today. And my shoulders are still tan (relatively) from Europe, which I find frankly amazing. Hmm, aren't I self-involved :)

My sister called me today to express her "concern for my wellbeing." It sort of made me realize how changed she is from the girl I always so avidly worshipped growing up -- she's more self-absorbed, more nosy, and surprisingly insensitive. Really insensitive. She has a tendency to call me and make me feel terrible about things I previously felt ( Read more... )

Aight, so I got a bus down to Monterey at 6am this morning still not knowing what was wrong. Two cab rides and two buses later, I finally got to see her. I think she's going to be okay, but she's in so much pain that she can't unclench her hands. I started feeling kind of overwhelmed when I realized that I'm the only person (aside from my senile ( Read more... )

Just got word that my mom's been hospitalized and is going into surgery. I have no clue what's wrong. My grandmother called me to tell me that something obstructed her stomach and she called an ambulance for herself. I wasn't there to help her.

We broke up.

All I can say is that up until my time in Europe, I was completely unfamilar with the sensation of homesickness because I'd never associated that concept with a specific place. And even now I don't really think of home as a house or the like, but HERE in the general ( Read more... )

So I am alone in Italy. Huh. Allllll alone. Interesting. Drea and Amanda both went home early, and now I'm all on my lonesome in case you didn't get that before. That being said, it's beautiful here.

Fuck, I'm doin the chick thing again. I hate that shit ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned lately that I'm in London? I'm having the time of all good times. It's incredible here. Lat night we went to Covent Gardens and the Italians (they just won a game in the world cup) were parading around shirtless and yelling. It was awesome. We went to some pubs and got some delicious gelato. And today we're going to the ( Read more... )

Phew. All I gotta say.
