WTF

what is wrong with the time stamp on this thing? it said i just posted something at like 4:48 and it was really like 7:48. i have it set at eastern standard time. bizarre.

bliss

in like three hours, i will be picking up my car. and then i will be a car-driving member of this world. finally.

as this fine picture can attest to, we had a swell last night at the gris. seriously, sea chantey night could be the closest thing to heaven on earth. at right is me and anna with cliff and tim. we were backup singers-extraordinaire and we'd probably have a job if we lived closer. we also decided we're in love with essex, ct. not really any of the other surrounding towns, but essex is so cute. so cute. (minus the fact that there's nowhere to get breakfast on a Tuesday morning).

i'm departing on Thursday for my cc journey and I'm pumped!

i'm just generally very excited today. very excited.

i am almost a car-owning, move across the country girl

Oh so soon. I'm real excited. Today I went through my stuff and have widdled it down to four rubbermaid totes, a suitcase, and a duffel bag. I'm not sure how. I believe it has something to do with the salvation army donation truck.

I watched the awesomest movie on lifetime. As I watched it, I was sure that I had seen it before slash read the book. It was called "Homecoming," but when the lead character introduced herself as "Dicey," I remembered that the book was called Dicey's Song. I'm sure my friend Katherine, who is at UCLA studying Library Science and a children/young adult fiction guru probably knows about this book or has read it. It's legit. A very good book and excellent lifetime movie.

I'm listening to Matisyahu right now and remembering the night that he came to San Diego and the whoe entire crew went to the concert except that I couldn't because I had the duty. That sucked.

I also watched...well I watched a lot of movies today, but most specifically, I watched Holiday Inn, an old Irving Berlin movie with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire and I have decided that I am now one of those people that has a slightly creepy thing for an old (very old, very dead) guy. I'm so into Bing Crosby. He was so good looking and such a charmer. And I'm pretty sure he would have been the best person ever to just sweep you off of your feet.

I'm excited for:
-being home in like a week and a day and a few hours.
-christmas in wyoming
-emma's birthday gift, which i'll probably want to use
-my car
-connecticut tomorrow (chantey night)
-"i hate you all" by get set go
-my 2007 planner (picking out the paper for it)
-the office

obsessive/crazy

last night i did the most obsessive crazy thing. i sat with a pile of q tips and i cleaned between all the links on my watch. it took about a half an hour. i am crazy. it's official.

i'm very excited...i bought an old 35 mm camera--a canon ae-1 and i have been having fun reading my "photography for beginners" book and walking around like i know what i'm doing.

i'm a good girl: i bought a very expensive bag the other day on impulse and returned it today. good for me.

p.s. i love the office and sea shanties.

if this were livejournal is would say...
music: SEA SHANTIES

happy thanksgiving

i spent most of my day sleeping/watching the office on itunes and being sick. i attempted to make mom's sweet potatoecasserole. i guess i should have asked for the recipe the day before so i had exactly what i needed and not a ballpark guestimate. oh well. it was ok.

i love the office so much. i really need pam and jim to get together. i love them.

i'm back in the game

ahh, it has been a while indeed. in the 6/7 months since i last posted, i:

graduated from college
moved into my first apartment
moved out of my first apartment
gave up everything to go sail around california
took the trolley to tijuana
decided i wanted to live in california
and
bought a car.

the last one i just did today, although it has been a tumultuous process which has taken like 6 weeks. i hate car dealers. but i am very excited for this (my very first) car.

where am i now? i'm laying in bed in my friend's house in sudbury mass. sudbury is a suburb that is way, way outside of boston. my friend nicole is very nice for letting me stay here. however, i am leaving next week. i'll be driving across country to wyoming until after christmas, at which time i will begin my new life in california. with my new car. i. am. stoked.

don't worry, though, everything you know about me has not all changed. i still love grey's anatomy and the office with a passion that is way too intense. i'm still obsessive about the facebook (when my internet works). i still consider paper as valuable as gold. i still love andre. i still check toothpastefordinner.com, marriedtothesea.com, and nataliedee.com every single day. i still check webmd.com quite frequently to see what new illness i may have. i'm still irrational and still very petty. i'm just going to do all of that in california now.
