And so I drink to stay warm & to kill selected memories

ohh winter. it is cold.
it snowed yesterday but all of it melted away before I woke up
because! I slept until 12:30 again. I used to love sleeping really late into the afternoon, but now I absolutely despise it. I would rather be tired all day than not be alive during the day. I get so depressed when there I don't see the small amount of sunlight that winter has to offer.

SooooOoOOoOo even though I woke up later than I intended to, I attempted to make something of my day. I watched some news clips and interviews for the class I'm taking (I HEART KEITH OLBERMANN) and mailed Megs a birthday card and went to the bank. Sometimes, running errands makes me so so happy. I feel like a real person and then I get excited. Also, when I go to bed I feel like I did something productive. Even though a trained monkey could probably have done the same things. OH well.

Kaitlyn left this morning. Last night we watched six episodes of the Office. That's pretty much what we did before Regan and Meg left earlier in the week. I really don't mind that our lives have become so seemingly boring. It sort of validates our friendship I think. We can go out and have a great time together, but we have just as much fun sitting around and talking over a TV show.
Sketch kids make me remember what real friends are I think. Soo as much as I adore school, I'm a little nervous to go back. I will inevitably compare my friends from school to Club Sketch and inevitably decide that the Maryland kids don't know me as well and don't make me feel as comfortable and THEREFORE are not as good. But that's not really fair. I love my Maryland kids, but I've been friends with Meg since kindergarten. How can new friends compare to the family we've built here?

Also, I still haven't tried out the present Julie got me for SB. I want to use it, but everyone is pretty much gone. I hang out with my mom and dad and sister a lot. And they're excellent friends. But it would be inappropriate to ask for their help. Is it pathetic to christen a bowl by yourself? Oy.

I was going to end the post there. But I wanted to talk about the Times Talk I went to. Alright, I'm a huge nerd, I love the NY Times. The Times hosts a series of interviews every year about people who were important in various fields. Specifically, anything that fits under the heading of arts & leisure. I usually go to a few and they are great. This year I only got tickets for one, but it a was a great time because I heard Feist be interviewed. I really like her music and I think she's great ever since her work with Broken Social Scene. Anyway, she was fab. Also, she said the word 'legit' a lot and it made me feel good that other intelligent, cool people use abbreviations in their day to day lives. Obv.
Someone asked her a question about opening for Bright Eyes and she said she really respects Conor's music because he's 'legit' and really means whatever it is that he does. It made me decide to listen to Bright Eyes again. Legit.

\\And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere
(ust get me past this dead and eternal snow)
