This girl in class today raised her hand to comment on an article we read for my non-fiction class. All she really said was that she couldn’t understand how a guy who used to be a big football player in high school now works with make up. “It’s…weird.”
My friend Bree and I looked at each other as if to communicate, you’re weird.

Dear Elevator Guy,
I feel like I meet lots of people on the elevator that I never see again. You caught Nara and I singing “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas” in really low voices and asked if we were dreaming. Then we told you about all the extra Christmas music in the playlist still, and you suggested Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
You were really cute, too.
This is exactly what I was looking for.

In class I started picking at my nail polish as per usual when I looked down and had BLOOD ALL OVER MY HANDS. I also rip my cuticles to shreds.
I was the Black Swan today.
Total dating material.

I know no limits, so I’m looking through the different cats on petfinder.com, and I think this is affecting not only my vocal “awwww” count, but I may be on the verge of tears. I don’t know.
She’s a quiet bed companion, a lap cat when she chooses, and a talker. Her one vice is tearing chunks from newspapers (maybe this is her commentary on the news reporting!)

People that intimidate me:
musicians
eloquent speakers
writers
On that note, I have a difficult time considering myself a “writer.” Not sure if that’s because I don’t feel I have enough experience or if I’m not as confident in what I have so far. For the most part, English majors or enthusiasts have read a lot more/probably better books than I have and it makes me feel inferior as ~someone...

Had a dream I was at some sort of GOP convention, except it was supposed to be a really friendly sort of gathering, nothing to do with the election. Mitt Romney did a toast and said something snarky about the presidency. In response, Newt Gingrich yelled, “NO MORE TOPICS!”
Immediately after everyone started bursting into drunken laughter, Stephen Colbert was on the red carpet talking...
I was just thinking that I think I deserve a pedicure. The only times I’ve gotten them are my aunt’s wedding and my sixteenth birthday (which was fantastic, hair cut and dinner theater included). It’s rare that I go out and do something just for me, but damn. I’ve got my shit together, and I WANT A PEDICURE.

I just fell asleep sitting up in bed after reading about “Lady Olga,” the bearded woman. When I opened my eyes and realized how ridiculous I must look I thought, Who’s the freak now? but I’m pretty sure Miss Barnell can’t hear me, and I’m really jealous that her cat is named Edelweiss, but mostly that she has a cat.
Wait. Joseph Mitchell wrote this profile in...

Help us, President Obama-Kenobi, save states like Pennsylvania from governors hellbent on destroying public education. You’re our only hope.

My pet peeve is when someone thinks that because they do or don’t eat/listen to/watch/pay attention to/like something in particular, that it somehow makes them better than anyone else.
That, and when someone asks me to contact them and then they ignore me.
I think I’m cranky tonight. Fits with the old lady nap I just woke up from.

I went to student financial services today to figure out where they were in processing/approving my additional loans for the semester. It turns out that I’ve been approved for twice as much as I originally thought for the semester. When I walked out of the building I lit a cigarette and thought, Thank you Ms. McDowell for helping me pay my rent.
She was my AP Calc teacher in high school,...
Whenever school starts back up I’m just reminded how busy I actually am. I try to compensate by staying up late as I’m wont to do, but then I don’t sleep very much.
Not sleeping very much makes me not sleep very well. Not sleeping very well doesn’t make me very well. Which reminds me, I have a flu shot appointment on Thursday morning. I’ve never gotten a flu shot....

I’m still convinced vodka is the foundation of my utter downfall.
“Downfall” meaning falling down and fucking up my body enough to walk to the bed I’m sleeping in that night, and wondering what the hell I did to ache so much in the morning.
Limping on ice toward the subway while being hungover is not my ideal Sunday. (Sounds like an obnoxiously titled ice skating show...
Two almost "fails" turned into "wins."
Cork popped as soon as I crossed the street from the guy who I bought cider from. I SAVED IT THOUGH, NOTHING SPILLED OUT.
Half way back to my next destination, I realized my glove was missing. Trailed back in the snow to find it and I DID! (Right on the corner where the cork popped off.)
Corks and gloves.
They are important.
Remember that time I drunkenly wrote ‘censored’ on my hand using my non-dominant writing hand and then fell asleep? And then I woke up in the morning with permanent marker on my face and crossed the street in pjs and snow boots to buy cigarettes at the corner store? Oh, and when I smiled at kids in the corner store because they smiled at me first but they were probably just laughing...
Me: Why is it so cold in here?
Nara: There's snow on the ground!
Me: There is?!
[pulls up window blinds]
Me: Awww, there's SNOW ON THE GROUND.

So before I walked into the party that I actually didn’t get into, some ugly guy kissed my hand. And called me madame. Something about Louis CK.
