somebody's watching me

watching: way too much television

my car is in the shop. it's going to cost me an obscene amount of money. i hate cars.

i went to indiana for the weekend. it was interesting. david's wedding was weird. then i went to a super ultra hick kegger in portland complete with an arsenal and a ridiculous television show called, appropriately, trailer park. hung out with megan and drank WAY too much coffee. drove a lot.

i don't understand all the marrying stuff. i feel way to...young or something? i don't know. it's all weird. but i'm really excited about megan's wedding. it's nice to be excited about weddings once in a while.

i need to figure out what to do next. find a job. move. go to grad school. i need to do more research.

edit: so i'm at my parent's house today doing laundry and watching television. abc family is totally airing a show called "10 Things I Hate About You" with the SAME premise as the movie. They even found actors that look similar. I'm shocked and appalled and....i don't know. it looks pretty terrible.

nu

watching: melissa channel surf

i'm in romania. holy shit balls.

i've been here for a week an a half. i'm in the cultural capital of the world. and i just saw the most ridiculous production of leonce and (si) lena in the history of ever. and enjoyed it thoroughly. even though i didn't understand more than maybe ten words ("domnilor, domnilor" being two of them).

juliet went well today. i'm here all day tomorrow. we're watching a japanese production of titus that i'm pretty thrilled about. and hopefully we'll get in unlike last night's faust and have a seat unlike tonight's leonce. i've also seen danton's death, dracula, richard iii, uncle vanya, and some crazy thing involving fake elephants.

i should probably use italics to make this easier to read.

but you deserve it because i can't understand anything here either. stupid romanians only speaking romanian and hungarian and german and a little bit of english. didn't they know i was coming?!

more coming now that i've figured out how to get internet at my awesome hotel. and pictures on facebook when i get home because i promised.

oh babe i hate to go

listening to: leavin' on a jet plane, some chick? it's off of one of megan's mixes

life is weird.

i'm in connecticut. in the last two weeks, i've been to connecticut, massachusetts, new jersey, philadelphia, new york...with a lot of repeats in between. i fly home tomorrow and then fly to romania on wednesday.

i need to do laundry.

the dog thing fell through and i'm really sad now every time i see one. i'm thinking about consoling myself with a good ol' trip to the dominican republic.

i need a job again. noodles and co wants to keep me but i'm kind of done with their shenanigans, unless something changes. my manager is supposed to call me this week. he hasn't called yet.

some guy named craig called the other day and offered that i could manage my own branch of citibank. when i asked how they got my name, he couldn't tell me. i think this is a scam.

someone invited me to join their bsdm threesome. i said no.

i'm really excited about romania.

oh! and kellie's play is being performed in NYC this weekend! which is awesome. and megan is getting married. also awesome. talia's not coming home this summer which is significantly less awesome.

i'm taking votes on where i should move.

on life

i might get a dog. i'm very excited about the possibility. but it's probably a bad idea. but it's FREE and i WANT it lots.

anna is usually my voice of reason and she totally agrees with me. my family can only point out that i'm incapable of taking care of myself so how do i expect to care for a LIVING THING?!

my skirt is ripped and it's sad.

home for a few more days before my crazy month of travel! eep! i just printed off the flight confirmation for ROMANIA!! woo!!!!!!!

megan's engaged. cori's engaged. david's engaged. heather's engaged. elizabeth's engaged. allison's engaged. other...people are engaged. it's all very weird. good, mostly (save one), but weird.


i'm feeling very chill in a very cluttered way lately. enjoying the weather. reading books. feeling calmer than i have in a while. i mostly cleaned my apartment, but need to do dishes badly. but this dog seems like maybe a very good thing. we'll see.

i'm happy.

i just need to figure out what's happening when i get home in a month. anyone want me to live with you?

new orleans

so kellie wants me to update this or something?

i'm in new orleans. surrounded by irritating high schoolers here to do volunteer work. i'm staying in a "mission" attached to a church, and they regularly host people who are working to Rebuild New Orleans (note the caps). today it's a bunch of irritating high schoolers. we've seen five groups leave or come in the last four days. and in case you were wondering, the house rules include the line "no canoodling." i asked the guy in charge what canoodling was, and his answer was...

"it's different for every age. it's different for married people than it is for college kids, and it's different for college kids than it is for high school kids, and if you're in junior high, well that's just illegal."

???

i love ridiculous old people. i slightly less than love being the third wheel when erik comes on these trips with melissa and me, but i like erik a lot, so i'll deal.

and i think the food or the smells in new orleans are making me sick. because this is unpleasant.

fifteen hour car ride home....GO!

oh, and ps: my phone is only sort of working right now. i can dial and receive calls, and the person on the other line can hear me. i just can't hear them.

i'm just like you when you were young

listening to: caroline, some mix cd from megan

hey look! i'm still alive!

living in a hotel in springfield. they want me to move here but i'm not sure how i feel yet. i need to decide soon though.

may have totaled my car.

i love my apt. and people come visit me a lot. and i should never give my keys to people; ask why if you want to know.

i've watched about ten seconds of chuck and larry and it's painful.

life's been weird the last few months but good. things are generally very good. the last few weeks less so but it'll be good again soon.

i'm going to toronto for a few days this week for work, AND it looks LIKELY that we'll be going to JERUSALEM for CHRISTMAS which is just super awesome.

oh, and if anyone wants to help, i'm making a list of obscure love songs for a friend of mine. suggestions welcome.

baby i'm ready to go

having no internet sucks.

having an apartment, however, is pretty much awesome.

had a total clerks day the other day. wasn't supposed to go to work, had to be in early, and everything went wrong, including ridiculous things that would've made for an excellent storyline to a cartoon sitcom. i spent most of the afternoon telling everyone "i'm not even supposed to be here today!!" two people got it.

officially getting a promotion at work. yay for more money. boo for being owned by the man. i'm thinking this job might kill me if i don't find something else soon. but it's good for now. and i'm glad that i'm still employed.

headed to indiana this weekend. yay for that.

boyfriend situation on the fritz.

been drinking frequently lately, just because that's what my friends are doing. i'm thinking maybe i should find a new pasttime. not really getting drunk though, usually.

missing the internet. missing people. loving living alone.

watching lots of movies. lots of movies.

need to catch up on the world's happenings though. ::disappears::
