2008, go fuck yourself (mostly)
january: this time tomorrow morning, in two weeks, kevin falahee and i are gonna be on a plane to tampa, florida, to see the hold steady in ybor city. blame it on the cheap post-holiday airfare and my powers of persuasion. "excited" doesn't even begin to describe it.
february: FBI wants palm prints, eye scans, tattoo mapping
also, don't forget to vote in the primaries tomorrow.
march: i think i just went on a date with a girl, but i'm not sure.
april:
9:04 AM Kevin: maybe i don't wanna compare books!
me: i didn't realize i was adding people
until it was too late
9:05 AM but you don't have to compare books if you don't want to, brat :)
Kevin: also
i decided i will not attend the malkmus show on wednesday
9:06 AM me: well, okay ...
Kevin: just think it's for the best
ya know?
too soon kinda thing
9:07 AM me: i don't know
i mean
i was thinking about it a lot
(obviously)
also, obviously, i will not make you do anything you do not want to do
9:08 AM but one of the most important things is that i said everything i needed to say that i had wanted to say for a long time
but then when you left i was like "great, so why do i feel like i just lost one of my best friends"
9:10 AM andi like being around you (obviously again), but what was killing me wasthings you were doing that were kind of hurting my feelings and youdidn't know it
9:12 AM and the whole point is that i am going to be more upset, i think, if i have to pretend like i don't want to hang out with you
9:13 AM i just had things i needed to say out loud and i was scared to say them
9:17 AM but you tell me why you think it's not a good idea to go on wednesday
may: lately i am having a really hard time getting excited about anything.
june: AP = associated publisher.
heidi vanderlee: AP of the month?
heidi vanderlee: has rebekah said anything to you yet?
dwight munroe: Bleh.
dwight munroe: Billau(ick)dot.
heidi vanderlee: why don't you like them?
dwight munroe: LOVE 'EM. Can't get enough o' that great Billaudot stuff!!!
heidi vanderlee: you just don't like their music?
heidi vanderlee: or are they a pain to work with?
dwight munroe: I LOVE BILLAUDOT. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
heidi vanderlee: okayyyyy
july: like you even have to ask who i spent the weekend following around ... but they just keep getting better, if that's even possible, IMHO.
august: [23:45] julies got a gun: you know the first time i got drunk was when you bought me that smirnoff ice at your house in college
[23:45] julies got a gun: i lied and said i had
[23:45] famex90: oh my god
[23:45] julies got a gun: cos i thought you'd think i was stoopid
[23:45] famex90: no wonder you fell off the couch
september: (inspired by NYU's return to the neighborhood i work in and respectfully submitted by my manager, a disgruntled NYU student, and myself)
-how to cross a new york city street without getting hit
-how to go back to kansas and stay there
-how to shop at kmart without clogging the aisles
-how to choose a bar of candy in duane reade in less than 15 minutes
october: i am really tired of finding myself sitting on the curb of ave. a, crying.
november: so, an old family friend who mostly talked to my oma and opa (when he was alive), called my oma and told her to vote for mccain and said that obama would make white people pay for what they did to black people. it was the first time i'd ever sworn to my oma, and the curse was "bullshit."
december: sometimes i feel like i might be a little lonely. feeling embarassed about that in conjunction doesn't help much, but i am not sure why i am embarassed. maybe because i am so used to living with friends, aka some semblance of a family. i don't think i ever had this particular emotion when i lived with iliana, and i hated our apartment and felt cut off in queens. hrm.
