so i got my first adult bicycle today. she is small with a tan seat and a basket. i'm calling her sylvia (after sylvia plath, who, in my mind, is always riding a bicycle). every time i pass her in the hall, i pat her affectionately on the seat. but i am still too afraid to ride her on broadway.
let's see. i thought yesterday was a disaster up until about 9pm when it became apparent that actually it was a pretty good day. i went to queens, which was terrible, to interview, which was terrible, for a job, which was terrible. but a job's better than no job, eh? even if it is in queens and a goddamn hour and a half subway ride away goddammit.
i felt very sorry for myself so i bought some nice shorts with detachable straps so that it can be a jumper if you want it to, and also a nice big striped loose tanktop and some small white fake keds. i know, i know, i need to stop spending money. i am not spending any money today, seriously. i mean, come on, i'm homeless and unemployed. but if i am going to be homeless and unemployed then i would like to be HOT homeless and unemployed, thanks.
i visited a sublet in williamsburg which was super cute but 35o for two weeks which is a little more than i'm looking to spend. i also got a ulock for sylvia. i also printed 25 resumes to distribute.
and then! i was waiting for the j to go back to the apartment and there was a cute boy on the opposite platform and he kept looking at me and i kept looking at him and everyone was pretending not to be looking at each other and then his train pulled up and he waved to me and grinned really big and then got onto the train and waved to me from inside the train and it was very cute and i was just delighted, to be honest.
since i've been up here i have sent out around 70 resumes and today i applied for positions at whole foods and trader joe's and was sort of shocked to realize how much i want to work at a healthy foods store. in a few minutes i am going to go to soho to apply at uniqlo, because i really want a job where i can wear my own clothes.
since i've been up here i have also finished a short story and started another. also i have made collages and played haus frau to two dudes.
last night was free vodka open bar and i had so many (3) vodka drinks, specifically grapefruit juice and vodka. that's why i had three-- you can't taste the vodka. then i came back and, you know. it was pretty good but i sort of feel like whenever i get drunk i say stupid girl stuff that i wouldn't usually say (NO not about FEELINGS, just girl stuff like "do i have a potbelly" and maybe some bedroom stuff).
ok i need to go. whenever i get drunk i always spend money in this totally uncharacteristically cavalier way. five dollars for a bud yeah right. maybe i should leave my money and my card at home?
