the time i can't remember, the time you can't forget

So yeah life is moving slow. My head has hurt all day. am i bobble head doll?

My boss said that he wished he could have me in a bobble head doll form so that on long road trips he could pull me out of his pocket and I could say the weird anecdotes that I wont stop saying.

Yeah my head is still hurting despite my best efforts of watching Mean Girls and pretending to read.

I don't know how to read.

I wish it was Christmas time. I think I'm going to read.

I think I'm going to get my hair cut on thursday. And then I'll umm go to walmart? oh god.

1. Walmart portrait studio re: pictures

5. my head re: please stop hurting or just leave

There's something stuck between my toes. Easter grass wtf?

FAT AS A COW

No not me, I mean not literally. did my title strike a little too close to home?

I don't know anyone fat as a cow. Is that a common expression? Do I act like english is not my native tongue?

Suddenly all at once, I can feel myself getting very lazy and very stupid. More of the latter. I was just reading on Jenna's blog about finishing a paper. I can't even imagine the last time I wrote a paper. A research paper? That was definantly senior year. I compared a Philip Larkin Poem to some guy with mutton chops.

Who was that? Geez. Can't you see my mind slipping away? Oh god it was the really famous poem about the tide rolling in and out matthew arnold Dover Beach!

I love Philip Larkin. There I said it. I can't take it back now, it's in print.

I think I'll join a gym tomorrow on the way home from work. Why not right?

Today I went shopping at Value City and bought alot of American Eagle clothes for not alot of money. So that was pleasant. purple corduroy pants ok why not?

I don't think you are supposed to buy something if your answer is why not? but it didn't stop me. I painted my nails a form of purple too. Geez I might be turning into Cristy Yarbrough.

The Fiery Furnaces concert was amazing. Athens was not. But you can't be something you aren't. The morning of the concert while shampooing my long locks I was thinking to myself, "Why don't you just go back?" "It would be so easy and what 2 more years give or take a semester?"

Driving downtown answered my small problem. These fratastic assholes tried to walk into my car. I invited them under the tires.

you know how I know you're gay?

oh 40 year old virgin.

oh new exciting oppurtunity for me. This huge drawing I did last semester for drawing II could be in this real exhibit in a doctor's office with the chance to be sold, which would be awesome. I think I have to pay for it to be framed, but it might be worth it because I was thinking about having it framed anyway and it might be cheaper if we get some kind of group discount. But that would mean returning to Athens probably at least once. ugh.

Oh wait I'm going back tomorrow to see the FIERY FURNACES!!!! I'm excited!

I think my feet are going flat.

I watched the new episode of arrested development tonight at first I was like uhhh but then it was really funny!

Let's see so last weekend it was Jenna's surprise party followed by Lily's first birthday party! Both were fun. Everyone is turning a year older. Except for me of course. The other day I was thinking about birthdays and I was like thank god im still 17. But then I was like wait I'm 19, and why would I want to be 17? Bizarre.

these pretzels are making me thirsty

Dear fat ladies of atlanta,

please steer clear of the baby's room's 12 hour Baby boom sale tomorrow because I in no way want to wait on you. Your repetitive questions, and brisque manners only make me resent the ways of reproduction more than I already did. Please refrain from looking/talking at/to me.

With Sincere Thanks,

k

I think I'll go take another nap, as I am no longer able to sleep at night.

Yesterday I went to the movies, and this creepy middle aged man was following me around and trying to talk to me. I hate creepy middle aged men.

so yeah about that second nap. ill definantly be taking myself up on that.

I've been trying to watch celebrity that woody allen movie with kenneth branaugh for 2 days, but I keep falling asleep. i don't like kenneth branaugh. He was fine as hamlet, but as woody allen no thanks.

dear god, its me kitkat turnblad

shoutout to twentysomething becky in da house?

haha. I can't even pretend.

Today I was euphorically happy, after I got over my latest Wesleyan encounter. When Brian Kennerly walked in to the Baby's Room:


(BK walks into store. Katherine stands behind counter picking at split ends)

(Katherine's jaw drops)

(Bk's jaw drops)

K: Ughhh

BK: uummm helllo

K:This is weird.

(Katherine pretends she isn't actually there and sits indian style on the floor)

Fin.

No, I didn't I was polite. But yeah that glint of dissapointment that follows the words "semester off" that's always a nice one. It's ok today is my day of euphoria, and even the deepest pangs of dissapointment cannot mar it.

Then it was an exceedingly pleasant day at work followed by an exceedingly pleasant evening with amanda, jake, and cristy at tech. that's a pleasant place. everything is pleasant.

I think I'll go to the movies on my day off. I love the movies, I think the last time I went was on my birthday. bizarre.

My mother has a kidney stone, which means I will most definantly have them since both of my parents have them. Thanks I'll just have water please. For the rest of my life.

So yay for pleasant days and friends and the future.

I can't figure out how to put a picture on my profile if anyone can tell me how to it would be greatly appreciated.

Sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin

To address my comments:

1. I'm seeing the Fiery Furnaces in Athens. It should be fantastic.

2. I love white trash

3. Where am I? How am I not myself? Well these days I am working or sleeping alot or most of the time. When I am not engaging in one of those loverly activities I am shopping. But we should get together soon.

Today I went to Ikea! It was great as always. I bought an apron and some birthday gifts.

thanks to holly for the title. where is that from? It's great. anger has a large family. but why does sarcasm have to be ugly? Couldn't it just be upset? or perhaps plain? Anyway it seems like sarcasm is a nicer anger. Ultimately more upsetting but yes a prettier version of it at least.

I really need to find a place to go to school. And with that comment I mean I should start looking. Applications for next semester are probably due soon. Shit. Fuck. Fucker. Today Oprah made me feel all guilty about wasting my life. And then I watched Alot Like Love which made me feel worse because I hate Amanda Peet alot and it was similarly themed.

Strange days are these. So things to find:

1. the perfect school
2. a boyfriend
3. my watch that I lost in 8th grade

a few things I forgot to mention

I am obsessed by House, M.D.

Currently I'm watching disc 3 which means episode 17. in three days. ouch. ouch.

Things I purchased or tried to purchase today:

1. Lunch at McDonald's
2. Becky's Birthday gift
3. a car cell phone charger
4. a mona lisa lamp
5. a lap desk
6. Sufjan Stevens ticket

I finally went to sleep. Yeah that was pretty awesome. I love sleeping. And decorating.

My wrist stop hurting. I think it had to do with some drugs I was taking. They were legal. Get off my couch, and out of my head.

Yeah this is awesome awesome. you and me and a bottle of gin. I made a batch of white trash this weekend, I added some orange extract to the chocolate and it made it even better. Whoa little jeannie.

I'm going to see the Fiery Furnaces soon, and I'm excited. And you can't stop me. House is addicted to Vicodin. He pops them like candy. This makes me uncomfortable. ARe all doctors druggies? Or just the ones with limps?

boo you whore

I can't type. its 336am. I'm wearing a hand splint and I'm extremely hungry.

I tried to go to bed a few hours ago, but this wrist just isn't letting me. I would go downstairs but I'll wake up the dog and that would be a bid to-do so I'll sit here in the dark.

Maybe I'll watch Mean Girls. I haven't seen it in so long!

I have to go to work tomorrow. Geez Atlanta you better be ready to buy some mattresses.

capice?

is that how you spell that?

I hate when someone calls you and then you forget to call them back so then you can't call them back for like you know a few weeks until they forget that you never called them back to begin with.

I need postage, the post office could help me in this situation.

seriously wrist what the fuck is wrong with you? Dr. Webmd came up inconclusive. I think its because I broke my wrist twice when I was younger. So now I have carpal Tunnel? Oh god I'm going to be a cat lady who wears a carpal tunnel syndrome splint with long roots!

ugh woe is me. Sleep perhaps? hopefully?
