It's been almost a year since I updated this thing, so here's some notes on my life:

• Currently, I'm still living in the apartment in Bed-Stuy, but my roommate Meghan moved out in the beginning of August, and I'm officially on a one-bedroom lease (uh, spoken lease) for this place starting September 1st. Really exciting! I've never been good with ( Read more... )

Just swinging by to update my record here: things are currently on a mild upswing, after a really mid-summer crash. I'm working for decent money at a restaurant in Chelsea Market, still hosting. I am actually tentatively starting to have savings again. Things are fairly good with my friends, only minor drama abounds at this point and it's easier to ( Read more... )

This is me, tentatively hoping that the next chapter of my life is starting soon. It feels like it might.

Man, parents. (This seems like an appropriate topic to blog in LJ about.) I always used to watch in shocked amusement when my parents or my friends' parents would visit their parents and voila, suddenly start acting like teenagers again, like they never left the house in the first place, and I had this vague idea that I would never be like that.

I don't often write here anymore, clearly, but I guess I'm having the urge to spill my guts somewhere to try to make sense of what I'm feeling, and I might as well use this thing. I don't know who will even see this, which is fine with me ( Read more... )

Welp. I'm almost 25.

I should go back through this thing and read the evolution of my stupidity into maturity. I'm sure it's very marked. Also, full of my pet peeves and bitchy commentary, but that shit never changes.

...Man, it's been a really crazy year.

I'll come back and sum it up before the new year, I swear. But being sick and over-exhausted makes me nostalgic, I guess.

Holy shit, I've officially had this journal for 10 years, from February 1st, 2002.

I don't really regret not using it often, these days, but still. It's a record.

Just the other day, I booked tickets to NYC. December 14th through January 5th, which wasn't really how long I'd originally intended to stay, but ticket prices being what they are, those were the dates I could get on sale ( Read more... )

There really aren't that many things that I get scared about. There are things that make me nervous, for sure, but being legitimately terrified isn't a feeling I'm used to, except when I wake up from nightmares and the fear is irrational, subconscious. Even the earthquakes we've had recently give me a moment of nerves and then I typically shrug it ( Read more... )
