So John Asbury's dad died last night. Those of you that knew him fairly well should send a card or something cause he's a wreck. I think this is his address: 30017 Corte San Luis ( Read more... )

It's a million degrees in here. I just took a nap with a frozen package of peas. Then I got online & discovered a letter from John in CA. He's depressed- bad- and he thinks I can help. I doubt it. I don't know what to do ( Read more... )

It probably is. And if it's not, I'm telling you now that my I-don't-give-a-shit will suffice as reason enough to make me the scapegoat. And the fact that I don't give a shit implies that I don't mind being blamed for everything. It probably is my fault. Maybe ( Read more... )

I just covered merrit's shift at the Hanger. I also covered my own. I was there 9-1 and 1-close. That's a long ass time to be refilling ketchup containers and such. I only made about a hundred in tips, which hourly is not all that hot, but it's more than I would have made sitting on my ass at home. However, I'm tired. REAL tired. And on the ( Read more... )

I got the job! EEEeeee! I am now offically employed as an astronomy learning assistant at CU in the fall. My training starts august 16. The best part is that I'll get private instruction on using/access to all the telescopes at the observatory! Grad students are the only other people with this special privilege. Also, it means I won't have to ( Read more... )

Do you ever feel like you ever just NEED to do something?? I'm out of my mind. There wasn't much to begin with. 7 weeks of summer left for me, and very few things to look forward to. Yesterday, for the first time as a waitress, I almost cried at work. Luckily, I pulled my shit together & sucked it hard through my 12-hour dia del inferno. I'm ( Read more... )

Last night I attended the Perfect Circle concert with Bill- my first time at Red Rocks. "Wow" about sums up the whole show/night, except for the massive traffic back-up when I was trying to get back down to CO-470. After about 40 minutes of "wedging" - not moving more than 1 foot at a time- I finally found myself in line to get out. I noticed ( Read more... )

I just slammed the front door & forgot to let go first. There was shock, then there was pain, then blood, and finally, I got really dizzy and almost fainted. It's weird that slamming a finger in a door can trigger a nauseous reflex, but I remember the same thing happened when I broke my finger in 7th grade playing basketball at lunch. 15 minutes ( Read more... )

I met up with John Asbury today. It was awkward as usual, and while trying to converse away the chilling uncomfortability of the situation (with kelsey by my side for much needed support), I found myself wondering why I must meet with this kid every time he comes to town just because we used to be friends or enemies or stalker/stalkee back when we ( Read more... )

It seems like every day in this town, I find out that one more person I went to high school with is knocked up or engaged. At first, it was a wee bit entertaining. ..OOoooo- what a slut. Yeah- served that guy right....Now, it is starting to scare me. Truly. People who graduate here get knocked up and married. That is all. And though these ( Read more... )
