18 december 2004: i drink much more than i oughtta...
I think that i have lost the connections between night and day. For example: I woke up today at 3pm. I went to sleep this morning at 9am. I worked for a few days in a row, clearly more early-mornings than I am capable of handling in this city, and then slept until 4pm on Thursday. Which meant that “Thursday,” really, is an exaggeration, because I really only existed for...
08 december 2004: you know what, if you miss one...
“maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. maybe they’re supposed to run wild until they find someone—just as wild—to run with.” (carrie, satc) NEVER, EVER, in seriousness, speak any sentences to your 23-year-old girlfriend that involve the word “when” (rather than “if) and the word “wife” (rather than...
26 november 2004: the bisexual conversation
sometimes i have conversations with my boyfriend where i feel as though he lives on a different planet. the bisexual conversation had already driven us to opposite sides of the room, where i sat in his mother’s big white chair thinking about how cute his sister is (wtf) so then we get to this conversation about how he has no idea why heterosexual girls express physical affection towards one...
24 november 2004: home for the holidays
plan for thanksgiving: 1. drink red wine out of the bottle (ravenswood red zin) 2. when finished with red wine, drink white wine out of the bottle (penfolds chardonay) 3. go to diner and eat a lot of mashed potatoes
3a. perhaps get dressed up and go to nice restaurant serving thanksgiving dinner, and sit alone, order a bottle of wine and a big plate of mashed potatoes, with the ultimate goal of...
17 november 2004: tell you the truth i prefer the...
things i learned about myself this weekend during two brutally cruel (separate) fights with my two best friends:
i used to be “sassy,” hip, and self-confident and i never let anything or anyone get to me (at Interlochen) and now I am vulnerable and thin-skinnned and, oh right, a complete self-centered bitch
even though i was like that before interlochen, too, which means it...
15 nov 2004: here we go again, she's back in town...
november 14th turned out to be very trying. began on the night of the 13th with the first real blow-out between krista and i. became blubbery crying mess (first time i have cried in like, 2 months, however. which is, needless to say, quite a change from the old days when a certian someone used to make me cry at least once a week) as fight with krista turned into deep discussion w/krista about my...
08 november 2004: every passing moment is another...
12 step plan to improve my life financially and emotionally and career-ally 1. DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.
One frozen yogurt+one caramel macchiato= $8
8 dollars could be more gainfully used to buy a bottle of nice cabernet. Remember: when do I feel better, after i have eaten a lot, or after I have drank a lot? Clearly it’s the latter. Also it is easier to get drunk when I have eaten less. Also,...
02 november 2004: hey mississippi, DO YOU KNOW ANY...
I am literally crying. OK—-so we suck—-and Bush might win (PLEASE GOD NO) but that’s not such a surprise, I mean clearly the entire middle part of america is totally ignorant and ridiculous. but I can’t believe that the gay marriage ammendment (banning gay marraige) passed EASILY BY A LANDSLIDE even in michigan. where i am from. this country is full of douchebags.
i hate...
31 october 2004: and so god created woman so man...
lady with platter: “care for any caviar?” my cousin: “do you know that we’re from ohio?”
i’m glad my cousin from clinton county, ohio got a scholarship to denison and married a rich girl from new york, new york, because fancy weddings are FUN!
well, except that my grandparents didn’t seem to know where they were
and my aunt got drunk for like the third...
28 October 2004: we still don't know who killed...
Reading Comprehension: SAT VERBAL PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN THE FORM OF A “COMMENT” TO LIVEJOURNAL. Please read the following passage. It was written by Jeremiah to his girlfriend, Marie, via text message, after being kind of (possibly) weird on the phone. Please keep in mind that she projects all of her insecurities onto him and therefore is not a reliable source of...
22 Oct 2004: the time between meeting and finally...
it was april of this year. i’d been outside on the balcony, on the phone. my co-workers liked to joke about how i was “most likely to be outside on the phone.”
they told me don’t pick it up, marie. i don’t care if he calls you five thousand times. don’t fucking pick it up and I looked defeated, maybe, or I just looked like I always did, to them.
my friends...
18 october 2004: trying to make mole hills out of...
i think it’s funny that krista spends all day saturday cleaning and then all day sunday scattering the new york times around our apartment in such a way to make it look like like we are like, publishing the new york times out of our living room. losing my job on friday at least gave me fuel to run 4 miles, which is a lot because i haven’t run since last summer when scot and i would...
15 october 2004: i'm getting older and i need...
Finally, I got a job at Calico Jack’s. I like it. The money is decent. The day manager is a bitch but the night manager brings us tequila shots to toast my employment and the other girls are nice and friendly and rebecca invites me to her birthday party and rose writes in the book what a wonderful impressive job i did. Oh, and right, i got a second job at a video store but they call me a...
17 septmeber 2004: money isn't real, george,...
sometimes i feel a little stupid for quitting one hour into my shift on monday morning, but at least you said my 3-page resignation letter (which detailed all the ways niko mismanages his restaurants and cheats his employees) was “beautiful.”
(i like to think of myself as jerry maguire. also the fact that i am still unemployed makes me feel even more like jerry maguire, except that i...
11 sep 2004: you made my bed so i thought you...
jeremiah is getting divorced. right now he has moved out and is living with his mom. and she is moving out this weekend so then he can move back into his apartment.
living with krista is as wonderful as we always thought it would be (except for the ghetto part) and we have lots of wine (too much?) and i usually sleep in her bed (it’s more comfortable).
i feel weird about this: i have...
02 sep 2004: i need chocolate. oh my god the...
took train to wisconsin. sat next to this israeli girl, started talking. decided to get the party started, reeked havoc in the snack car with the boys we found, drank single serving bottles of sutter home and laughed until we cried. got to wisconsin. got krista. got stuff. drove truck.
accumulated multiple parking tickets and ran the 15 foot truck into the curb more than once. (yes. it seems...
25 august 2004: they're gonna wanna know how we...
you say: you are basically the perfect girl. i keep thinking, whats the catch? i tell you: well, i’m a little crazy. that’s the catch. him: you aren’t crazy. me: yes i am. i am completely out of my mind.
23 august 2004: no one gets a lifetime rehersal,...
jeremiah had worked all day and she had to work all day and all night, 12 hours a row until her ankles hurt, and that serious fight with swear words involving an asshole prick but then at eleven jeremiah came back and picked her up, which means more in new york, she always thought, ‘cause there’s no vehicle. it’s just about company. transportation is kind and purposeful here. and...
21 august 2004: open up your eyes now, tell me...
it’s funny how looking for an apartment in new york makes me not want to live in new york anymore.
i think we found a place. i think we lost 100 dollars because we thought we found another place yesterday. i think i was supposed to fax a form to my mom but then jeremiah and i went to ingrid’s restaurant, Zoe, and drank a lot of wine. in a way, it’s like my official new york life...
19 august 2004: fox in the snow, where do you go?
i just stood in the kitchen with my chin on the edge of the freezer (freezer door open, it’s edge against my left cheek) for a good 10 minutes. today i looked at an apartment where the “rooms” were divided by a curtain, there was no bathroom sink, and the shower was—literally—the shower was in the kitchen. as in; stove, counertop, refrigerator, shower.
