man. i really, really wish i could've gone to d.c.

i went with dana to see kanye west last night, at the state theater; she had gotten us free tickets. it started around seven thirty, with dilated peoples as the first act. they kinda suck. during the first intermission, her brother came down there and we moved from the balcony to the main floor. soon after young gunz came on, and i couldn't have ( Read more... )

my friend was discharged from the hospital last night around eight. dana and i had went to visit her thursday afternoon, which was overwhelming all by itself. we didn't get a chance to see her together then, because her dad and grandmother were already in there and they only allow two visitors at a time. we went back friday at seven, right as they ( Read more... )

i knew something was going to happen to my car! my mother enlists her co-worker/friend to drive by our house whenever we go out of town, and she called sunday morning to tell my mom that my left rear mirror was broken completely off. i overheard her telling my aunts this in the kitchen while they all cooked dinner, warning them to not say anything ( Read more... )

i shoveled the snow two days ago, only to wake up the next morning and find that most of it melted. i put on my scarf and puffy winter coat for the first time in weeks, made my little fingers sore from gripping the handle of our blue plastic shovel, stepped into those clunky black snow boots for nothing. nothing! i'm not leaving the house again ( Read more... )

fuck spring.

i'd rather be boring than pretentious.

i had a midterm exam today (yesterday) in european lit on the metamorphosis, steppenwolf, and six characters in search of an author. and just to make things a bit more difficult, the back right tire on my car blew out in the middle of the freeway on the way to class. luckily my mother was driving, since we've been sharing my car because hers isn't ( Read more... )
