my dad and i are waking up early tomorrow and driving to northern virginia. the man who lived across the street from him for most of his young life passed away and so he feels obligated to go to the funeral on behalf of the entire family and i'm going such that i can spend a night with the grandmother i hardly ever see and so that he will be kept ( Read more... )

so i'm in dc, still, which is nice, though there is a large part of me that wants to go back to the city where i can just finish the rest of the work that i have for the semester and then take a month off. i'm going to need this month off and i need to take full advantage of it because i think that next semester is going to kick my ass. i just ( ( Read more... )

several things have happened in my life this week that are quite bizarre and have thus caused me to be kind of sad and insecure ( Read more... )

it's really strange, and i kind of began to allude to this in my last attempt at an entry, but when i'm here (at nyu, or in new york in general) i often feel as though something changes in myself, that i become a person that i perhaps have always wanted to be: someone without inhibitions, someone who cares little about the judgment passed on them ( Read more... )

ok, so i knew i had to updtae my journal when jen complained about my lack of entries within the past month, and it makes me upset to know that first-time readers of my journal get the whole tommy episode as an introduction to my life. i must admit that the reason i haven't been updating isn't due to lack of interesting/embarassing stories to tell ( Read more... )

this is the song that tommy made up the other night at work. he really is funny. i mean, broken english aside he has a good sense of humor. today, for instance, i came to work around two to pick up mandy (see, her father and future step-mother have kicked her out of the house taken her car--for no good reason except the future step-mother hates ( Read more... )

so i finally got my bling cell phone, and the really amazing thing about it is that i get PERFECT reception in my house. i can now sit on my little bed and talk away. no more of this being on the porch and seeing strange cars pull up into the driveway at three in the morning, or having bugs eat me alive. no, those days are gone. thank god. ( Read more... )

this is the first time i've ever written an entry without having some preconceived notion of what i'm going to write about. i mean, sure there are lots of unimportant things going on in my life that i can discuss and will, probably discuss, but usually i come into my livejournal with something really exciting (even if only to me) that i want to ( Read more... )

i feel like this entry has serious potential to be ugly and i apologize in advance for that. so yesterday was my birthday. it was rather unexciting seeing as how i knew i had to work and i couldn't really enjoy any good food with my wisdom teeth and all (which, by the way and nearly completely healed, i think). anyway. i woke up, opened the ( Read more... )

so it's been a little over 36 hours since i've gotten my wisdom teeth out and i have to say that it feels utterly awkward. my gums are so swollen that i can't fully close my mouth and my jaws are all bruised, plus there are these very bizarre and obtrusive stitches in the back of my mouth that feel stringy and gross. my cheeks and mouth are all ( Read more... )
