03:26 am: sleep is good.
i had the most busiest week at work ever.




OVERTIME, BITCHES!!!

10:27 pm: so i bought a hard, tangible, fit-in-your pocket journal.
i suggest everyone do it.

it's far too easy to type away into digital nothingness. but a book with your own handwritten words lasts forever. unless like, your house burns down and you don't have any worldly possessions left, including your "real" journal. then you lose. but you get the point.


i'm so happy. i already have everyone's holiday gifts picked out, and they're completely perfect for the people they're going to. just need to order them. life is so much better when you're surrounded by a handful of people who understand - and slightly appreciate - your weirdness.

and amazon is evil. i have a list of about 9,374,185 illustration and design books that i want on there. some from when i used to work at SCAD's bookstore, and a ton from perusing the internet.


random-but-true fact of the day: did you know you could order a complete supply package to build an entire house - floorplan, materials, friggin WOOD - from the sear's catalog from the 1800s up until about the 1950s? you just picked the house you liked the best and ordered.

01:54 pm: everyone's birthday is in december.
it's official.

happy birthday to ali, scotty, rea and tracy!

11:33 am: i saw motley crue. well, for four songs anyway.
the lead singer guy fell off the stage and like, broke his leg four songs into the show.

they had a cool setup. a carnival theme with a midget, strippers and the like. my friend remarked, "wow, there are more mullets here than at a winger concert." and it's kinda scary because i'm pretty sure he's been to a winger show or two. erg.

but i had fun and i got to go for free so that's all that matters.


AND! i was waiting on them in kennesaw (i drove over there from where i work, like 30 mins away) and found a cool little consignment/thrift store that only buys and sells decent looking clothes, not whatever crap anyone brings in. i got a pair of target shoes i've been wanting really bad and a vintage-looking old navy skirt for a grand total of nine bucks. and both were brand-spanking-new. it was awesome!

(i can be girly sometimes, right?)

09:36 am: take a good look, take a photo, write about it in your tiny notebook.
i found out on sunday that somebody loves me, and i didn't run away or anything. you should be proud :)



i'm skipping work today because the applebee's on thorton road in lithia springs made me sick as shit. never eat there. it sucks.

so i'm spending the rest of the day at home in my pajama's, listening to le tigre, watching the golden girls and making useless arty stuff. our house is filling up with it. i love the gaudy-ness.


and i'm way excited because i can now pick up WRAS (georgia state's radio station) in my car. for some reason i couldn't before. commercial radio can suck it.



thanks.

12:45 pm: this is really happening
this is very eye-opening and makes me sad.

this is sad and true and makes me very angry.


bush is so lazy and apathetic.

like i replied on tracy's journal: i guess when you're too preoccupied with making money off of your country's under-funded armed forces demolishing other nations, you tend to overlook the smaller stuff at home. oh yeah, and he was on vacation at the time. :P


to avoid making a long post on everything wrong with the world, i'm quitting while i'm ahead. also, i've been out of town for the past couple of days, but i'm making a donation to the red cross today. i hope you guys can too.

10:50 pm: kiss me one last time
the other night at food lion, i saw a girl with a freshly shaved head. she was wearing a magenta-pink, sequin-covered dress over ripped up jeans. she was the most gorgeous person--girl or guy--i've seen in seriously like, years.

she was so pretty, i blushed. in an asexual way, i promise.

i've been talking about getting my head shaved for years but everyone tells me they'll stop talking to me if i do. fuck that. not like it matters, but an interesting point to mention nonetheless.


through the drunken advice of a friend, i recently found out i'm going to be hearing some news on a subject involving me sometime soon, from another friend. it's nothing bad, actually it's great. but i don't know if i want to hear it. it can only lead to bad things (at least in my head). i have severe commitment problems. several people hate me right now for not returning their calls. and i really can't concentrate at work. even when i'm "in my cave" during meditation at my yoga class i'm distracted.


gawd, i can be such a fag sometimes.

04:07 pm: what brought you back to this place
so last saturday i wrote this gigantic post about how disappointed i was with a lot of things. then i realized people are just people and things are just things, so i made it a private post. i think too much and i'm trying hard to change that.

people keep telling me i don't talk enough. if i don't talk around you it's usually because i think you're interesting and i'm observing what you say. sometimes it's hard for me to concentrate on things, and i have to just not talk. i'm still trying to convince my mom i have ADHD so i can get put on aderall which usually makes you lose a ton of weight. that would be awesome.

i'm so happy for and proud of a bunch of people around me right now. they're all getting to buy big things they want or starting school again or getting good jobs or so in love with someone all they can do is smile. i'm excited for them :)



hooray for laundry day (kidding).
