Having spent some time in New York City now, and having lived (albeit for a week and two days) in Chicago, I've decided once and for all that I have to see cities in other countries--particularly, I think, in Europe, where cities are perhaps more 'developed' than in other parts of the world (speaking broadly--beacuse who could forget Tokyo and ( Read more... )

It's been a wild couple of weeks, I tell you, but I don't have time for all that right now. I just wanted to let interested parties know that I've gone cellular. Who saw that coming? Anyway, I'm not going to posty post my number online, but if you're interested, shoot me an IM or e-mail or something, and maybe we can exchange digits. oh oh ( Read more... )

For fuck's sake, I hate the period directly after finals shit ends. You work, work, work to the bone; you're all screwed up in the head, tired, way too accustomed to having your brain employed (even though you hope and pray for it all to end); and then, THEN, that day--no, that moment comes, and it's like, aaaahhhhh, and then, oh: what the fuck do ( Read more... )

Okay, this probably makes me really corny or something, but I'm in love with Sufjan Stevens! And since he's Episcopalian (i.e. Christian) and all, I thought it appropriate to share my love and thereby possibly share the wealth of Sufjan Stevens' musical wonder. I mean, all I'm saying is, if you want to listen to a really talented musician who also ( Read more... )

i have never, i don't think, though i'm not thinking well these days, had as variable a sleep schedule as i've had since thursday night. for instance, having not slept much at all sunday night, i stayed up until 5:30 monday night/tuesday morning, then got back up at 7:30 (to go to breakfast with nicole--ahaha) and then worked feverishly on ( Read more... )

My life has become a cycle of coffee drinking, followed by intense water drinking, followed by intense peeing, followed by more coffee drinking, more water, more peeing--it's ridiculous. i think i've spent more time today peeing than i have writing my paper. that, and waiting for people to show up at blegen house so we could start prepping for ( Read more... )

OMFG, writing can be so--oh, I guess I don't really want to write that post. Anyway, a new thought: depersonalization. Sometimes I wonder if this is my issue. I'm not kidding. And, actually, this relates to the writing shit. It's a similar feeling I have when I've been working on this story draft for HOURS, meaning all day. But I have the feeling ( Read more... )

I just think I should recognize that Jenny and Erin came to visit me last weekend. Randomly, the morning of their visit, they decided to come. It was Gender Blender night, too, which is QCVC's spring party (this year--last year was Taste the Rainbow, which I liked a lot more). So we went all out. I dressed in legit drag for the first time since I ( Read more... )
