my parents are sitting around discussing bills and having a civil conversation about real estate....i kind of want to remember this moment forever :) they are sweet beautiful and cooperative. I just cleaned out 324 useless emails and brought it down to 14 important ones.
today I woke up at noon, watched soap operas all day, went to staples for my dad, got my mom a birthday present at target - interacted in greater bronx society, basically. I talked to Danae and Irina, finally caught up a bit. Chatted with Jared about his babysitting job. I think we could talk about how moving and fascinating three years olds are for hours. The kid he was babysitting was eating apple sauce and tofu. ew but cute! I talked to Joey who got the job as TA at NYU!!!!! It gave me hope. I've been obsessed with ...creation? I spent way too many half hour blocks in Staples looking at Adobe Photo Shop programs and graphic arts design posibilities. I want to take classes and be silly. Is this allowed? Should I just work paralegal so I can make money and take classes? Should I work in publishing...I don't even know. But as the day went on and I chatted with John, my sense of panic settled a bit.
It was nice to hear about theo's school stuff and watch him passionately do his science work... I made my own dinner :-) I thought about coming home to page and nina. It felt really good. But I guess coming home to mom is a good feeling too. I have lots of practical plans tomorrow.
this entry is so stupid. but I guess I want to remember my treck post college.
noticing the little things again, shampoos in the bathroom, the way the news is told (more debates on cnn ive noticed), new photos on theo's wall, my various issues with the past...seeing different races and personalities. blabla.
im reading an email from alumni nick, gotta write back to him and amit. gotta write to others in general. AHHHHH theres a lot to do. Ive only been home for 24 hours though so I just need to chill.
I just overheard my dad saying he needs an operation for something - what is this?!
now they're fighting.
