| i am a junkie |
[10 May 2005|10:03am] |
a lot of times @ work, drugged up on french roast coffee & loads of sugar, i find myself writing needless to-do lists, scribbling in my planner, checking my phone for text messages, sending text messages, reading dailycandy.com, checking gmail, checking outlook, checking my checking account, checking myspace, reading livejournal, thinking about what i'm having for lunch, & occasionally, being crafty (ie: making cards, stationary) using the office supplies available to me... there's also twirling my hair, yawning, stretching, staring, cracking my knuckles, & reorganizing my purse, wallet, and receipts. i have no (work) life.
cindy got a xanga. boo cindy, booooo.

i'm getting paid to sit & get fat.
to wake up incredibly early, sit & get fat.
it looks like there's a 75% chance of boston in septemberish. the remaining (someone asked me for an example of one of my post-college stupid moments. okay, i just had one. i had to rethink "remainding". dummmb dumb.) 25% deals with matters such as bank account savings, $1700 <& rapidly decreasing> as of now! prettyy good; parentals, they will most likely laugh at me; job & if there will be one; & whether or not i have the balls/ovaries to actually pick up & leave.
my life here:
i'll be living with am, soph, & eric in a 3 bedroom townhome nestled in the one ghetto block of huntington beach. i'll have schroeder, the pug with killer looks that i've snuck into our no doggies allowed home. the rest of my family (mom, dad, granny, & aunt) will be closer than gone living only a 15-30second walk away. i'll be working as an accounting clerk & taking classes/preparing for the CPA exam. my life will go on being the same. i'll work out at ballys. i'll play in LA. i'll have tivo.
my life in boston:
i'll be living w/christine (aka kris aka my best friend) in a studio/1bd/2bd apartment in boston, masachusetts. weekends will consist of taking the T to the garment district & rummaging through vintage gems, taking a drive down to the beaches in maine, & eating lots & lots of cannolis from mike's pastry. weekdays will consist of working as an accounting clerk & taking some extra classes at bunker hill community college. it's exploring a new city. touching snow for the first time. & meeting boys w/boston accents (half-kidding!).
hmm... which one to choose.
& it's only 342pm...
ummm....
i hope rob & amber win the amazing race. i'm meeting cindy tomorrow at irvine spectrum after work for sushi & drinks. i almost hit a car on the way to work. i'm reading if andy warhol had a girlfriend by alison pace. i just finished the mermaid chair. i crave raspberry taffy. gym 5am in the morning is improving. i want to chop off my hair. it's so quiet in here... except for the constant rustling of papers of course.

[10 Apr 2005|11:46pm] |
i'll be waking up to an early monday morning
where 'early' isn't noon or 1pm or 4pm.
my first REAL/entry level/post-college job.
a career? in accounting?
goodbye personality.
hello she's all grown-up.
8-5. m-f... just like high school.
as for the end of daydreams in my little world,
i'm realizing that there are perks to being a grown-up...
i'll be moving out w/am. a 2 bd/2ba apt.
i'll be getting a pug. his name will be schroeder.
& maybe it's denial, or craziness, or this lingering hangover,
but maybe i'll be happy being a grown-up??! i think so.
i'm definitely hoping so.
some goodies:
virginia & i went to pierce street saturday night.
buttery nipple x 2. long island ice tea x 2.
hot guys x 0. dancing x 98324732983243298!
i've worked out 7 days straight.
for 9.99 i got straylight run's album.
for a measly 100.00,
i'm going to see wicked (w/am, soph, & eric.)
i am no longer addicted to soda.
i am addicted to pink lemonade.
much better.
BETTER, in general.

| why? why? WHY? |
[29 Sep 2004|12:32am] |
had the worst day at work today
where i TRULY wondered
what a girl 10 weeks away from
a bachelor's degree
is doing sweeping up bread crumbs
& having to listen to such idiotic authority.
why? why? WHY?
i am quitting as soon as i get
my fingers on a new job
perhaps just as crappy
but at least it'll be a new kind of crappy
& one i got to make a conscious decision on.
j tokyo took down the boards out front
i'm taking that as a sign
& i'm running with it.
SN is going to happen. watch it.
