i have to read this. there's no mic. I'm gonna die.

i pray that i have the wrong date and that it's really on Wednesday.

so many questions... but mostly just why??

went out to coffee today with someone i have not seen in ages! She just had a baby in january, and now he's all alert and cute... I wish i would have gotten a photo. I wanted to hold him forever.

I really would like children one day. :( I wonder if it'll ever happen?

so besides the wonderfulness that was the beautiful weather, and a brief visit with my sister and nephew, wednesday was ridiculous.

at the laundromat i normally go to, the water was off. luckily i got a ride to a close-ish one, but i still had to carry it all back a farther distance than i normally would have. my hands killed from the plastic basket digging into them.

so i was going to be late for work because of that set back, but then as i waited at the bus stop, calling to let work know i was going to be late, the bus came.... and went. without me on it. it just whizzed by! i guess it was so full they couldn't stop. so i walked, and was even later than i thought.

no one seems to ever care? i guess i'm lucky that way.

but then workwas just all kinds of weird. I ate something that sent me to the bathroom multiple times during important parts of service ( i was on a banquet, not normal dinner service) and no one could really seem to get it together. service went really weird and jumbled up, people got yelled at, former mayor Giuliani gave a speech that had me in a rage while only having heard about less than 5 minutes of it... his speech was basically "capitalism helps the poor, and we need to be fracking more, or else the US is gonna get left behind! there's no contamination, and we can clean the streams and it doesn't cause earth quakes!" seriously?! i had to leave the room so i could find somewhere to laugh. if i didn't laugh, i would have called him out. the US getting left behind? tell me more about this, as more countries around the world ban this practice while we allow it to destroy the fabric of communities and the environment nationwide. ugh, i wanted to slap the waddle right off his stupid neck. I knew a lot of people disliked him, but i had never really looked him up and discovered his stances on things. some woman basically fellated as he stood at the podium while she stood up to praise him for the way he handled the 9/11 situation. I don't know much but i know that since that happened, civilian volunteers as well as firefighters and police officers who rushed to the scene to dig out survivors, etc are still without basic healthcare (now, not all of them. i'm sure plenty have healthcare to deal with medical expenses, but i've heard the testimonials of those who do not) as they struggle with the adverse health effects of having breathed in all that debris and toxic smog.That's how we take care of courageous people who rushed to the aide of those in desperate need, without a second thought to their own well-being. Good job, indeed, giuliani. good job.

eventually, the weirdness ended and i visted tanya across the street from work once i got out. We talked about her new job and how training was going. she gave me yummy, yummy tea.

(feel free to call me out on anything i wrote. i mean, i could be plenty out of date on the struggling volunteer stuff.)

found these on le Facebook. first one is from when jenn visited just before Toronto... the next two are silly times square shots. clearly we're sexy as hell.

it's so gorgeous out! too bad, because I'm stuck doing laundry and then i work. boo...


yesterday was another Spanish filled day of craziness and busy times. i hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. i suppose i could walk around while my laundry is finishing up.

happened to have off saturday. i went to pearl st. for a coworkers birthday and had this amazing black bean burger. it was topped with jalepeño lime hummus. yum! x) then we met more work people at founding fathers. my friend was working and hooked me up <3 was not expecting that.

later i went home, packed, walked back downtown and boarded the megabus at 2:45am. i almost missed it. being drunk on a bus is interesting ...

i stayed at jenn's place in Brooklyn and wandered around sunday until she got out of work... then to the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu concert (YouTube Pon Pon Pon if you're curious.) it was probably the most fun and entertaining concert I've ever been to. i also feel like I've fulfilled some kind of life goal?? ha... I've always wanted to go to a jpop concert. it was certainly an experience. i couldn't take any photos because my phone had died, but also, they were really after people taking pictures. silly.

the weather was pretty nice yesterday. Now I'm waiting on a megabus to depart... there's some guys fighting to get on.

I'm tired, but happy. there's a cute elderly Filipino couple sitting across from me chit chatting and making small talk with me.

wedsnesday was fun :) I went to merge with Tanya to celebrate her last day at 7-11... I got the miso udon bowl - it was so good. I took a pic of it because it looked so nice, but i guess my phone ate it? i can't find it :(

we went back to her place and chatted away ove some beers. she started at fedex today and should be getting home any moment, now. she's going from 16k to 30k a year! that bitch is middle class now! leaving me in the dust, haha...

i ended up staying up so late... i ended up having strange, strange dreams about people i've never even met.

today started lazy, and then i worked... now i've got an essay due tomorrow morning. won't be too hard...

i shaved my head. i like it :)

look how fun they are! we make letters fun.
