hey...i'm in the dorms now! cheyenne arapaho 159, specifically, so if you're up here, come see me or leave a note. i have to go eat and go to an academic advising meeting, but i thought i'd post before i do...i love it up here! it's hot and our room is small, but it's so nice to be around so many other people my age--and some of them are actually ( Read more... )

ben folds is always the perfect music for bittersweet apprehension. i think it's the piano. so, t-minus 2 days until move-in. almost exactly, now that i look at the clock. this is very weird. yesterday i went down to highlands ranch to pick out a rug with my roommate. we ended up with a nice chunk of silver-gray carpet that should be just dandy. i' ( Read more... )

preface--this is a boring journal entry. i'm just listing stuff that happened for record's sake, so no thinking i have a big boring ego! stop it ( Read more... )

Along the West Side from Lower Manhattan to Hell's Kitchen, a festive atmosphere prevailed as hundreds of New Yorkers sat on piers along the Hudson River in balmy 85-degree weather ( Read more... )

on the days when i cry, everything else seems a lot better and more beautiful. it's odd. it's nice not to feel apathetic for a little while...to drive home at 2 in the morning with the window down, cold air promising september in a few blinks, blasting 'stephanie says.' i think that even if that song woke someone up as i drove by, they probably ( Read more... )

i won an amelie poster on ebay! hope morgan (my roommate) likes amelie. it's a quarter to 12 but i just woke up and i am woooozy. why doesn't anyone seem to say 'woozy' very much? it's a great word. moving out in 9 days--and i'm actually starting to feel the impulse to organize and pack, which is miraculous and good. and tonight i'm going to elitch ( Read more... )

today my old best friend from elementary/middle school came into town (she moved to washington right after 7th grade) and we caught a bite with some other friends from elementary school--jessica, jen, nathan, and kylie. it's almost weird to write those names because they've been in my consciousness for as long as i could even write. it was a good ( Read more... )

holy shit, my room is so messy right now. and still all i'm interested in doing is finding good pictures to frame for my desk in the dorm. i haven't written in a while. not just in here, but anything. i used to say the phrase "i fail to give a crap" a lot in high school to express my disdain for the place. today it's been running through my head ( Read more... )

just got back from a single night of camping with jon and mo. one of the weirdest experiences ever. it was totally complete with every emotion--hilarity, bitchiness, depression, drunkenness, fear, comfort, laziness, et cetera. and yet the whole trip (all one day of it..lol) felt incredibly empty. i've become cold..i can't even think straight these ( Read more... )
