I leave work today at 1pm and have a four day weekend ahead of me. It sounds really good in theory, but we'll see.

If I seem sluggish lately, it is because I have fallen confortable, if boringly, into my new adult life of full time work, commuting and making small talk on lunch breaks. I also fall asleep every night around 11pm.

The roommate search is going okay. I've gotten a few replies from both craigslist.com and roommates.com and I am talking to a friend who wants to stay in the area. One of the replies from the internet is a British scientist named Barry White. I think there is a sitcom in there somewhere.

Well, I guess I should get some work done, because I have been sitting here all morning reading a very gross article on circumcision.

i love martha stewart, too.

I am in the office, and it is a Friday, and it is only me and the other two girls so therefore I am doing nothing. I have one hour to kill before I can go home…

I think I am going to spend this afternoon cleaning, and then maybe if friends are around I will do something. But nothing that involves money. Sorry, I’ve got to save for new furniture and a plane ticket to CA! Yes, so cleaning is at the top of my list anyway. Then comes re-painting, but not this weekend. Whenever the holes in the walls go away, then I can paint. I don’t know why I’m writing this, but it’s for my own personal lists in my mind. I think after I scrub and re-decorate, that I will feel a lot happier. There will be plants! And colors! And Swedish design.

I can’t wait to live in a house one day. I think about that pretty much everyday. Like, a house that I buy and pay taxes on and is mine. That I can rip the carpet out of, and put down hardwood floors, because really, there is no comparison. That I can paint the walls taupe and cream and hang chandeliers and fancy curtains. Yes, I think I should be rich, too. Not very rich, but rich enough to have a lovely home.

Everyday I work here I plan more and more about adopting children. I think I want one African child and one Asian child. To start with. After that, I want to adopt a hundred more and play with them all day and cook them lunches. I really am a 30 year old woman in a tiny girl’s body. I hate being in my 20’s. It’s so pretentious and I just wish I was married and had kids already. Seriously… me.

Blah blah blah. I am just being silly now. I am going to doodle things and draw house plans like I always do.

I'm at work right now and no one else is in yet, and I am waiting for some delicious hazelnut coffee to brew, so I figured I would write a little update.

This weekend was A+ great. Went home Saturday afternoon with Paul to see my mom, then went to Rob's BBQ later on. So much food, so many crazy British people, so many fireworks, cops and shotguns. Always a fun time. We crashed on my mom's huge new couch and then on Sunday had a Father's Day lunch or whatever... drove back and had dinner with Paul's parents at that new Samurai hibachi place... which I will contend, is probably the nicest restaurant in Glassboro. Even though they were playing Britney the whole time.

I am going to have a boring day here at work, so I am going to keep myself busy all day thinking about room designs. My apartment is going to be so overhauled by the end of the summer that no one will recognize it. I am thinking a hippie-1960's-San Francisco-boho look. Actually, I want it to look just like Dharma and Greg's apartment (the second one).

If you happen to have any extra furniture that you need to get rid of... I will gladly take it off your hands. I believe that I will need a small dining table (otherwise I might buy an $80 two-seat bistro set at Target), a coffee table, bean bag chairs, shelves, assorted tapestries, and oh, lots of paper lanterns.

When I get home I will probably clean... or work on my new photojournal... no, I will probably clean.

Here is a recap on my life lately:

I got that job at the adoption agency. It's nice, and I like everyone I work with, and now I make more than enough money to pay rent and billz and buy gas and sundresses. It's just tough adjusting to a 9-5 job and a hike up to Somerdale everyday. The bright side is, foor the rest of the summer, I can leave at 1pm on Fridays!

I've been sleeping over with Paul all weekend and that was nice. Yesterday I went to Adam's wedding... gosh he's old. Today Brianne, Jeff, Paul and I spent the day at Wildwood, playing mini golf and eating pizza and playing in the sand. The weekend flew by and I am too exhausted to go back to work :[

Future plans:

Tanya moving in with me?
San Francisco in August?

In the meantime, I bought a couple of books to bide my free time here with, so I am going to read a little and then go to bed very very early.

The Format's Dog Problems is already my album of the year. I downloaded it, but I think I am going to pre-order it, too, because it is just that good. Also, they released this one with their own money so for the first time in my life, I actually feel bad about pirating an album.

That's all. I'm applying for a job at an adoption agency.

My new favorite show is "Tiara Girls", because it is probably the best self-esteem boost ever. These girls are so dumb, it's funny. They think abstinence means being absent for class and that the vice president is Kennedy. You know how when "Laguna Beach" was popular everyone thought those girls were dumb? Those girls could be in Mensa if their only competition was these pageant sluts.

In other news, in five days will be the season finale of "Lost", and I can't wait. I read some spoilers last night from some guy that apparently shared a jail cell with Michelle Rodriguez, and passed along the info. If it's true... amazing episode.

In other other news, I watch too much tv. I might drag Paul out to a CRAFT SHOW! today, otherwise we will hang out in his basement and play Ashlee Simpson metal covers. Awesome.

a mess of great things

2006-05-14T02:48:15Z

Sooo where to begin? I never update anymore. I really just sit here and re-load my friends page all day.

Last week Paul, Jeff, Brianne and surely a bunch of other people threw me [and Cathy] the best surprise birthday party ever, complete with a performance from everyone's favorite rock and roll orgasm, The Steve Addams Experience. It was so amazing, and I loved the whole night :] There are videos floating around somewhere, I'm sure. Someone needs to send them into MTV for their new show, "My Super Sweet 23rd". I wish that was a show.

Anyway, that week I finished up classes and work, which brought me back to Freehold, where I have been bumming around for a few days. It's been great. I wake up and take a long hot bath, then sit outside in the sun and read then come back in and watch tv. Yesterday I watched the X-Files and TWO HOURS of Dharma & Greg. Today was marathons of both Simple Life: Interns and Top Model 6. I love it.

My mom is also spoiling me silly. And fattening me up. I am really in no state to go on a job hunt. I feel lazier than ever. But oh boy, do I need to get looking for some income. It scares me. I really get a sinking pit in my stomach when I think about interviews and resumes.

Yesterday Paul came up, and it made me very very happy. We went down to AC with Heather, Greg, Teri & Stan. It was a short trip, but it was fun anyway. Tomorrow some family is coming over [including the return of my sister], so I will be around here with everyone. Either tomorrow night or Monday morning I will come back to Glassboro. In a way I miss it? Which is silly, because Freehold is a beautiful little town and Glassboro smells weird and there are poor people. At the same time, some of my favorite people in the world are down South and we've made our own little family almost? And I miss it! I miss all of the fun we had and I can't wait to start a lazy summer at the boys' house, with hammocks and porch swings and gardens and iced tea.

Well, I am going to bed early, because I got zero sleep last night: snoring boy + stupid pull-out couches = :[

I just got back from Paul and Jeff's new house and I am so excited for The Summer Of My Life to start. (After Thursday!) Brianne and I are going to decorate the inside and then build a vegetable garden out back and a flower garden up front and and and there's space for a hammock and and I'm going to sit outside and sunbathe everyday and and Paul has a big bed that I can curl up into with him.

I'm so in love with everything right now!

a long time.

2006-04-24T19:13:23Z

Hmm what's been happening since I posted last? Well, Paul and I went to see Regina Spektor, which was amazing. What was not amazing was driving around the city for almost an hour looking for a parking spot. South St + Saturday night + warm weather = bro's aplenty. And then we went back to that Middle Eastern cafe for falafel sandwiches again, haha. I'm sorry, they're so good. Anyway, I love Regina. She was beautiful. It was a very happy [ AND SMOKE FREE!!! ] night.

Lots of Venue work. We put together two amazing mini issues. Really talented writers we got. Everybody nailed the voices perfectly. I love it and I can't wait for them to hit the stands. One of them is sure to stir up controversey. Err, haha.

Almost done with work! May 4th is going to be my last day I believe. Then, that weekend is my BIRTHDAY. Ughhh.

Paul took me on a date last night ahaha. We went to this Indian place in Marlton? Cherry Hill? Somewhere around there. Anyway, it was soooo good. I'm such a fatty.

The best news ever, though, is that I got a new phone and it is THIS. Amazing. I love it. I will update soon with some of the pix I have been taking.

What else? Oh right, another amazing Steve Addams party! Seriously. He is Rock n Roll.

Ahh. This week looks stupid. BOSP Banquet on Fri should be fun. More work this weekend. Blah blah. Let's hang out.

OMG FISHES LOL.

2006-04-15T05:27:42Z

Today was probably the best day ever.

Brianne, Jeff, Paul and I got up early and went to the ADVENTURE AQUARIUM. It was totally fun, except for the fact that there were a hundred stupid parents with even stupider kids. Oh well, I SAW PUFFERFISH AGAIN.

Then we went to Philly and got some sweet falafel and went to thrift stores. Then we came back and I drank a cappuccino and we rested up for STEVE ADDAMS' PARTY with Kevin and Kelly and a million dudes that I forgot names of already. Oh well. It was a sweet time. I am so beat now, I think I will go to bed. Tomorrow is work, then REGINA SPEKTOR, then Sunday is HOME HOME HOME, and Monday is NEW CELL PHONE DAY HOORAY. I love y'allz.

pretty things.

2006-04-11T20:44:01Z

Ahaha Paul recently became the 5th member of Panic! At The Disco. I love spring. I love life. This week is gonna be fun.

LOST.

2006-04-06T17:55:54Z

That was the worst episode of Lost ever. I don't hate Hurley, but he has the most boring flashbacks ever. And this week was all flashbacks! I DON'T CARE! There's a fucking crazy mystery dude chained in the prison cell lying about shit and killing black dudes, and I want to hear him tell me the secrets of the island! I wish Hurley jumped off that cliff. No wait, I wish Libby jumped off that cliff. She's the worst character ever.

Let's give more time to Locke. <3333

Next week should be better. I saw a lot more Jack and a lot more ACTION.

I want my hour back.

best week ever?

2006-04-05T19:04:08Z

On Monday I taught two classes all by myself at work, and you know what? They went pretty good! I think I have definetly come out of my shell around there, and it feels good.

Tomorrow night is the dance! I am so excited. You know what is more exciting, though? A new LOST tonight. One where they will add 15 more mysteries to the already 643 unsolved ones!! I can't wait! I hate resolutions!

I have realized how terrible my eating habits are, and am now doing better. At least, I am eating vegetables or soy at every meal. It feels good! Tonight I am making my famous vegetable fajitas. They are amazing.

Is it just me or is everything just shaping up to be GREAT? I'm so excited to wake up in the morning and start my day!

today i saved a boys life.

2006-04-03T00:28:07Z

Well, maybe not so dramatic. Today at work a boy jumped into the foam pit too hard and literally got the wind knocked out of him. He clutched his chest and was trying to breathe but he couldn't and I got really scared. I summed that superhuman strength you only get during an emergency and carried him out [he was a heavy kid] to his mom. Everything ended up okay, but it was just a scary morning.

Once again I spent all weekend at work. Friday night the boys and I went to Ocean City and almost got arrested. Saturday Paul and I went out to see "Thank You For Smoking". It was okay. Tonight I am going to write a 4 page paper. And make some veggie fajitas.

Some asshole frat guys broke into a friend of mine's room. This was because he published an article in Venue that they didn't like. It really upsets me. The irony is that it happened under the nose of the Greek Life Coordinator. Awesome. Anyway, I hope that these guys really get caught. I just don't like the idea of ever having to be afraid because of something I wrote. That's why we have freedom of speech.

And also as a ps? I don't take sides when it involves people that mean a lot to me. So please please don't worry. I know that livejournal is a very lame place to say that...

I've been living in my black yoga pants and work tee shirt all weekend. Kyle said it best today: "Our weekends really do consist of gymnastics parties." I don't mind it too much. I think I like seeing all of the different people. I like pretending to be best friends with kids for an hour. Faking a smile will eventually give you a real one. I like a couple of people that work there, too. I like finally being comfortable around a few of them to be silly. I am silly. I've got about $30 in tips from just Fri and Sat to blow this week. This is how I am saving money. If I deposit my checks and use that for big stuff... rent and bills and gas and groceries... then I use my tips for the little things... like cappuccinos and so many bagels. I spent a bit of that on drinks tonight at Landmark. We double dated with Kevin and Kelly ahahaha. I saw Adam, which made my week. We're going to see Regina Spektor in April! I am so stoked.

Things have been good. I've decided to get back to being chill. I've been too bogged down with stuff. I don't know. I lose confidence easily. But I realized that I let myself be that person... and so if that's the case, I can let myself be anyone I want to be. And I want to be that fun happy girl I used to be. This won't make sense to anyone, but I love writing cryptic entries. I wrote a poem for Ron Block's class last semester... it was the last poem I handed in. It was about finding out something I wasn't supposed to, and the words were constantly buzzing around my head and following me wherever I went, like little bugs. Because that's what it felt like. BUT I think I can finally turn that off. Or at least say... I'm done. No more. And that makes me feel better.

I'm going to feed my fish, get changed back into my black yoga pants and work tee shirt, and get up tomorrow to throw a ton of birthday parties for some very happy children.

I know, I am bipolar as hell, but life is fab.

This Thursday, Paul and I celebrated six months since I drunk kissed him in a basement at a frat party. That's totally romantic, I know. Anyway, we had a fun time together. I made english muffin pizzas hahahaha and he brought me flowers. AWWW.

We went to a bunch of Asian supermarkets and I almost peed myself. I found Pocari Sweat!!! I haven't drank that in two years, but it was my most favorite thing ever in Taiwan. Also picked up Super Supau, Want-Want cookies, rice cakes, veg dumplings and... ugh, Pizza Snack. That stuff was so whack but Paul loved it. What a weirdo.

Last night the gang of us went to Jeff's, ate all of his food, watched 'The Running Man' or whatever that terrible terrible movie is called, and then went outside at like midnight to hop the fence to the baseball field and play wiffleball. It was the best.

Today Paul and Rix made lemonade and I didn't help but reaped the benefit. Yessss. Tomorrow we are going to Ocean City to get pizza. Double yessss.

Monday is kickball? And moose tracks??!

I'm a drama queen. I hope the weather stays nice, because this might shape up to be a fun time.
