sorry to jump on the bandwagon folks but this is going to be my final lj entry. for now anyhow. i'm sure you know my reasoning so i'll skip that spiel. on with the update, ay!
so christmas was swell, and lots of people had christmas parties and that was sweet. new years we went to hogwags, and new year's day (this was the best part) we swam with the motherfucking CONEY ISLAND POLAR BEAR CLUB. it was probably one of the best days of my life. there were so many people there, it was such a big party, and it was beautiful and warm out. there were so many weirdos and fun people. the actual swim was so much fun, it lasted like 3 minutes but it was 3 minutes of sheer joy. i have a little video of us doing it, i'll show you if you ask me.
since new years i've pretty much been working. i had to do two weeks of training/orientation, yesterday was my first official day. in some ways i really love the job but in other ways i'm not crazy about it. i have no problem with actually caring for the people (bathing, toileting, changing, feeding, chilling etc.), what i have a problem with is socially interacting with people, both the staff and the residents. hopefully that'll get better with time. i like it better working in a structured environment where i know exactly what i have to do. i'm so freaking awkward at work, i hate it. but for the most part i enjoy it, i really like the people who live there, i feel good about doing it and the pay is pretty sweet.
i was going to go to see the features on thursday but i think it's sold out :( anyone want to see kimya dawson/the honorary title/tegan and sara with me on wednesday at bowery? actually i'm going over kenyon's. and by the way we broke up. we're still buddies though. how about mates of state/regina spektor/ida next friday? tomorrow i'm going to wander around brooklyn with laura and finally get some FOODSWINGS. next tuesday i'm going to rhode island with laura to visit ms. koenig. wednesday is kenyon day...some time this week i should be having a dinner party with ace. everyone who's reading this i want to hang out with you. some time in the next 2 weeks. ok.
i did nothing today and it was pretty lame. tonight i'm going to pretend i'm creative and try to make something.
i went to the witches brew too many times so far this winter. but i love it.
oh and i did pretty well this semester, i got a 3.3 which is actually really good when compared to my grades from last year. i think (knock on wood) i've finally got my shit together.
well i think that's all folks. i know most of you in real life anyway, so i'll see you around. my screename is countingstarsx, in case the lack of candice on your friends page leaves you with a gaping hole in your heart. and i'm still on myspace for the time being, e-mail is oh_raindrops@yahoo.com. ooh and if anyone would like to be pen pals that would be sweet, contact me and we'll exchange addresses. i'm not deleting this because i want to come back and read it in the future. ok, well it's been fun. ciao.
