So today my mommy dearest calls me on her way to work to discuss a "issue" she has been having. She tells me that all Sarah does is quote me. "Well Jessica says this, Jessica says that, Jessica told me you were going to make me color your hair in the garage.."
My mom is sick of hearing my tidbits of wisdom via the littlest ho. The first thing that comes to mind is: awesome- warms the cockles of my heart. i so often take for granted having siblings and being the oldest. now that we are all grown up (i use this term very loosely) i forget that there is the possibility that they may still look up to me- if even in a small way. the second thing that comes to mind is: of course- i live in new york, i listen to npr every morning, read the nytimes and thus am superior and have far more wisdom than the normal, non city dwelling, human
this link proves it.

Not a lower life form per se. Maybe just not as fully evolved as me.
Seriously though you are awesome.

i don't know how i feel about this. it's like you love me, and whatnot, but as a lower life form? maybe i should just accept this and move on. but something is my heart is saying, "does not compute."

aww...

My sister told me once that she admires me and is proud of me... i was floored. I guess I had never even thought of it. But it really, really touched me.
Even though, like you, I absolutely SHOULD be worshipped, it's always nice to hear. ;)

New York ShittyI haven't blogged anything of substance in a while. I have my whole amazing DC trip to blog (side tangent: thank you to everyone who gave me tips/suggestions I used all of them and ended up falling in love with America all over again). I think this is partly because I'm having a touch of depression. I had such a wonderful amazing introspective time in DC I actually shed a tear when I had to leave. Then I came back to the shitty/city. I'm now considering moving.
Just one reason why I may have had it with the uncivilized assholes who live in NYC. So back story first. When I was in DC I was on the train during rush hour (5:30pm) the train was crowded. There was a young women (20 something) holding a grocery bag. Next to her sitting down were two kids. I automatically thought "oh these kids are punks, they are so rowdy, fuck kids, etc". Then I was proven what an asshole I am for judging people. The one kid said to the other "what's wrong with you give up your seat for the girl". And he did!
Fast forward to me on the train at 6 pm this evening. Packed F train. Lots of douchy business types, myself included. On walks a young women carrying a diaper bag and a clearly very young baby. The train starts andshe struggles to get on the train. She walks by 3 men no older than 35, sitting reading papers, spread out taking up more than one seat. As soon as I see this woman I right away motion to her to take my seat. She looked so tired and grateful. Turns out the baby was 2 months old and she had just been at the doctors all day getting the baby shots. I gave every man near by a shameful look. What kind of "man" sits and watches a young women with a baby struggle and doesn't jump up and offer his seat? I live in a city of douchy assholes and sometimes I fear I'm becoming one of them.

(e:joshua) I have never been to NYC but and I can't speak for the girl. But if someone does what they are supposed to do and you say thank you in can imply like what they did was a big deal when it is in fact what they do and that can be insulting. In fact what my other guess is that no one ever says that so when someone does she doesn't know how to react.

Oh - once in Penn Station I thanked a cashier for hooking me up with a fork so I could eat my food. She actually looked offended by my thanks... what kind of place breeds this sort of hostility?

Your reasoning is exactly why I'd never live in NYC. IMO people act like caged animals there. Besides, in consideration of how expensive it is to live there, I can think of at least 3 cities I'd rather be than NYC if I have to splash tons of cash on living expenses.

nice nails. :)
and christine (from facebook/HS) says hi. dan and i have joked that buffalo is only 3 degrees of separation and that we must have a link somehow- maybe it's you two.
Hm, ironically someone who wrote this blog did that to my finger, trying to rip a hello kitty pillow out of my hand. At least we have twinsie gimped fingers out of it.
