Valentines Day is so fucking weird. I can’t remember one year when it really made me feel good, and I don’t really like people who hate the holiday, either. When i was a kid it was an issue over how many cards I got, or whether or not i felt embarrassed cause my dad sent flowers to school (I’m an only child, and I’m sorry for that :)) i was ( Read more... )

So, I'm alone in the mod. Well, Meghan and Rachel are gone, and i already miss them, which is ridiculous. I think i've been alone for 2 hours now, but i am having fun, too. I mean, i'm not cooking naked yet, but i've been sitting on my bed with the music up real loud (god, i've downloaded an absurd amount of music lately) and i'm knitting a hat ( Read more... )

Hey friends. Look at me, I'm alive and back on LJ. Yay! The reason I'm able to even post today is because it was an off-day of sorts. Partly self-declared,(yeah i skipped my UMASS class) partly because i didn't have southwest field seminar. And though i slept a better part of it away (12 o'clock, how gross is that?) I got some groceries and ( Read more... )

I kid you not. If I drove any other vehicle besides that new beetle I would be dead today. That’s what the police officer said to me who investigated the freak-car-accident I was in early yesterday morning. I was driving over the Cooper River Bridge around 2:30 am. They do a lot of construction on it late at night now, and I saw that traffic ( Read more... )

so im sitting in my mom's office. she and her coworkers had to go to some meeting, so im getting paid 6 dollars an hour to sit in here and answer the phones that dont ring. its fairly excellent actually, but makes me feel a little lame for not having a job of my own. i think i reached rock bottom today by applying for a job at black market ( Read more... )

so my journey back down to costa rica to catch my plane to the states began yesterday. i left meghan in belize city in the afternoon. i cant even begin to explain how much fun i had. belize was expensive compared to what i was used to, but it was really wonderful to just spend time with meghan, look at water so clear you didnt even have to ( Read more... )

bah. i miss xela. im in flores now and it is so fucking hot, like the kind of hot where you want to just lounge around in your underwear and eat ice cubes. i think the drastic change in weather is making me sick. i wish i could just find a nice temperate place to be for the last leg of this trip. im so close to mexico now, and it kinda looks ( Read more... )

still in xela xela xela, but not because the buses arent running. i think they started back up again yesterday, but im here because i found a job. im working in the hotel warehouse ive been living in. it only pays 5 qs an hour, which is about 50 cents, but its only 4 hours and covers my room, so i cant complain, and also gives me something to do ( Read more... )

so im stuck in xela (quetzaltenango). not that i planned to leave, its just kind of exciting news that i cant. apparently all the major roads are blocked in the country due to protests against taxes and so the buses arent running today possibly tomorrow, too. kinda ruined my day trip plans to go to one of the nearby villages and go to the ( Read more... )

so, it turns out i had food poisoning. this friendly attractive dutch guy heard me puking in my room when i came back and knocked on my door to see if i was okay. as much as i was bitching about wanting someone to hold my hair, i was extremely embarrassedwhen someone finally wanted to help me. he made me go to the doctor, which was a good idea ( Read more... )
