a disappear

[monitress]

dear livejournal:

i have returned from a long absence. 6 weeks is a while, i should have held out for 7: it's a much more emphatic number. hi + what's up. i live in dc now.

decision: 2002 i want completely erased from memory.it didn't happen, there's nothing i want with me from that. [except maybe that part where louise and i had the MOST FUN EVER a few times. that still counts.]
i want to keep this year around though. everything worked out, most a little late but it happened.

2k3 was:

i decided i didn't really like much of anything but my cat. i am the weird cat lady, all official-like now.

i went crazy and then i graduated college. too bad my entire life-achievement-plan stopped after "get into a good school". i checked that off in 1999 and was never quite sure what to do after.

i made some kickass robots, letmetellYOU.

my favorite part of unrest's "shag" is the line where mark robinson yells "drop that whore!!!" and then he says "shag... she's my man"
i just thought you should know that.

quit being such a hermit all the time.

i am short two friends who i still sort of wish i could always be friends with. ihopetheybothcryalotandtheirteethallfalloutandthentheydie. err.. i didn't say that. i am a grownup now and not spiteful AT ALL. thank you for this emotionally broadening exprience, 2003.

i got out of a few fake friendships that i needed to.

rekindled my love/hate relationship with the radio show. i'm 75% on the way to a new one in dc, too.

became a POOL MASTER. ok not really, but it sounds fancy.

i still don't like the internet.

i starved from july to december and had to sell my mind to science. and my friends: i think they paid me to hang out with them. sometimes they paid me in food and alcohol, so i didn't mind.

i won't starve anymore because i have a job.
a brief summary of my job: last week, one of my coworkers told me he "really missed the old cold war days. that's when things were really happening."

my new job is business casual. that's why i have to dress like either jackie o or addict-era courtney love, depending on what day it is. i like to keep my co-workers off balance.

my boss took my team out for beer and pool. he is the best boss ever and now i show up for work on time.

i think i love dc. i should stop making friends soon though or i won't be anonymous anymore.

my friends threw a going away party for me. it was great, despite a few unexpecteds. i'm thinking of it as an escort out of town - they had to make sure i was really leaving. also, marcus gave me a cd on the way out and that was cool.

new years in nyc, nyc, or dc? i'm thinking dc, since i can't go to both nyc things and going to one and not the other would cause S T R I F E like nothing else. but i haven't been to nyc in a year and a half...

i saw louise today. i want her to run away to dc with me and we will live like KINGS over our domain. which sofar consists of the patio. then we can overthrow the neighbors and then their patios will be our domain too. AND their grills, and if there's one thing a domain needs, it's a barbeque.

bye sincerely,

dh
