Halloween 2008: Abridged!

I went to work dressed as a child-friendly clown.  I tried to wish patrons a, "Happy Halloween," but nobody seemed to get it.  The people on the bus all looked at me like I was some sort of walking autopsy, and for a moment I thought I had made a huge mistake and it was still my birthday.  The woman that works at Dunkin' ( Read more... )

As of late, I find myself a desperate man.  There's little I won't sacrifice if I somehow make out on it in the end.  Tuesday night, I left class early to work at Banana Republic from 9pm to 6am.  I spent 8 hours of my life tearing open plastic bags with a bunch of socially awkward snobs.  "We're too good for you.  We work at Banana Republic.  ( Read more... )

I know I'm dwelling, but rightfully so, this is my livejournal and fell I have the authority to do so.  Especially since I've been in an increasingly good mood the closer and closer we get to Autumn (And no, I don't mean my sister).

Granted I'llbe at Spooky World every Friday and Sunday this October, I'm also eagerly anticipating the other staples ( Read more... )

Education and all of its joy has crept upon me again to relieve me of my uneventfulness.  Another typical semester, I'm sure.  I don't see any real challenge to completing my courses, other than the fact that Boston is a stupid, sports-obsessed town, and can't stumble through a lecture without talking about poor Tom Brady's knee.  With that being ( Read more... )

Every high has a bottom that must be reached before we find the motivation to start over again.   One of these days you'll learn this on your own without having to be told.  In the meantime, keep the liars and thieves close at hand until no hearts and promises remain unbroken.  Once you have nothing left, you'll no longer fear disappointment ( Read more... )

So, I just found out that Spooky World is going to be held at Canobie Lake Park this year in Salem, New Hampshire.  Totally convenient.  No problem at all.

I think I'm going to die.

I was trying to stay optimistic for the sake of myself and those about me, but I feel that I'm beginning to slip through the cracks again.  There are so many things that are collapsing around me, and I don't have enough strength to hold them and myself together at the same time.  I'm trying to prioritize without letting anyone else down the way I' ( Read more... )

A terrible nightmare called and reminded me it was time to get out of bed.  Much of it felt more like a dream than a nightmare, which is sort of what made it so awful.  So much of me half expected to wake up and be 18 and oblivious again, but it wasn't to be so.  And I think I sort of regretted it.  Everything was fine until he told me he loved me ( Read more... )

There are Brazilian men outside threatening to kill each other over $200.  I wonder if the Everett Board of Tourism lists events such as these on their travel brochures ( Read more... )

Tonight I'm being a big boy and sacrificing the company of others to clean my room, pick my wardrobe up off my floor (a.k.a. - floordrobe), wash everything I own - including the once-white-but-now cream? colored sheets that haven't been washed in months (yeah, I'm gross, deal with it), make dinner, and fall asleep on purpose, in my own bed, at a ( Read more... )
