Freaking annoying people who expect the ( Read more... )

I called today, he was just given pain drugs and wasn't really up to talking but he gave the nurse the OK sign when she relayed the "i love you" message for me. He'll be up for ( Read more... )

That's a Replacements song for those who don't know...anyway - i'm back here at the library...it's 5pm. I just woke up an hour and a half ago. F*cking hell. Most people work 7-3, i sleep it. I really don't know how to turn myself around - it's so hard. I've tried staying up throughout the whole day but at about 10am, i drop and sleep even ( Read more... )

I finally left the house!!! I've been in it since Friday - GAAAH! Going nutters...had to get out and DO something. Though, when i finally got out, i'm in my car and i'm driving around with nowhere to go. Lame. So, i decided to go to Oh My Gosh!, which is a huge consignment art place in Sterling. Just to wander about. I didn't buy anything. ( Read more... )

Oh - so sadly addicted to Project Runway 2 on Bravo...i totally love Santino, cuz he's arrogant and funny and cocky as all get out - his designs? Eh. I think Daniel will win, i think he's got the best taste. (Ha, what the hell do I know about fashion??? - most of my clothes come from Wallyworld). Another new show that i love (so far) is Love ( Read more... )
