I haven't posted in a long time. In fact, I had actually thought that I had given this up, but have recently decided that I need to practice writing. I'd like to think that my writing has improved, after reading old and older posts, but I'm not sure. I don't think I'm as interested as before in posting about occurrences of the weekend, but more ( Read more... )

I haven't done this in awhile (read: a few weeks). I think I had about 9 drinks today. And I'm still coherently drunk. Oxymoron? Yes. Basically, I'm drunk, but not so much that I can't type (and correct any mistakes). ahhhh it was a good night...

This morning, as I was about to board the Metro, someone asked me if I'm a student at AU (American University). This evening, as I got off the Metro, someone asked me if I'm a student at Howard University.

Oh, and I also often get mixed up for being Ethiopian (only by other Ethiopians).

The end.

A month or two ago, I got a friend request on myspace from someone with my mother's name. I freaked out because I wasn't sure if I had any pictures on it that it'd be better for her not to know about. Since I was at work, I didn't want to log on, but had a friend do so for me instead, but there were a few tense moments. Today, I mentioned something ( Read more... )

I've found a new place here in DC. It's about 4 blocks from where I live right now, which is good because I like this area, slightly ghetto though it may be. However, it's a little closer to the ghetto area than before, and further away from Safeway. It IS closer to the Giant (grocery store), and about the same distance from the Metro. It is a ( Read more... )

My mom is most likely going to come visit me in DC in September. I currently live with 2 girls and one guy. She doesn't know about the guy. She, nor my father, never actually asked, and I never told her, thinking I'd cross that bridge when I came to it. Well that bridge is coming up. I've been looking into moving out into my own place, and so far ( Read more... )

Wow. Super lazy weekend. Other than going shopping yesterday - I bought a few shirts, and even a dress! - I didn't really do anything except laze around and watch tv, and read a little. Today, my plans were to clean my room, and do a little laundry - you know, domestic stuff. Of course, I hate doing this stuff, so I didn't get out of bed till about ( Read more... )

Some people like to complain about the weather here. It's not that bad yet, at least for me. Maybe I just expect worse, or maybe I think that because I've been to southern India in the summer, where AC is limited and the power often goes out, that there's nothing I can handle. However, this doesn't meant that I enjoy having long thick hair, so I ( Read more... )

I was watching a discussion on immigration on Larry King Live this evening. Normally, I don't watch the show, but today was interesting. There were a variety of people debating the bill that's been proposed in the Senate and will be coming into the House. What I learned was this: there are some people that will say things that can easily be proven ( Read more... )

A guy threw up on the metro today. In the same car I was in. There are 3 sets of door to each car, and I was actually going to get on at the end, but decided to go for the middle doors instead. Luckily. The kid (he couldn't have been more than 16) threw up right where I woulda stood, on the side of the train I woulda gotten on (I try to stand in ( Read more... )
