I just emailed a whole bunch of people with listings on craigslist. all at or under $400/month, mostly with female roommates, young people/artists/ who live in cool neighborhoods!! I hope they answer me and I can drive down and see the apartments next tuesday. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. there was one that wants to set up a b&w darkroom... honestly, there was amazing great things about each person I emailed. and I would be able to ride my bike everywhere - and philly is full of just AMAZING THINGS! I mean i've never actually been there but it seems great. and cheaper than new york! which is huge. also it seems more laid back. the attitudes i'm encountering (just via the internet) is just like college-y chill, kinda reminds me of hippie syracuse people hahaha. i should go to bed ugh why is it 4:25 am and i have work tomorrow. fuck this job

I think i need to get back into livejournal. I've had about my entire threshhold of facebook and tumblr et al. journaling is far more productive and inspiring
consider this a return, untless facebook sucks me back in like a black hole, but anyways heres hoping
I mean summer just makes me want to write things down because that's about the only thing i feel comfortable doing. but when it's on facebook i'm not comfortable anymore. I have like 800 friends and you dont want to be THAT GUY that literally posts every 5 seconds everything they're doing or always be online.
there's little appreciation for writing on facebook... I see very few actual effort going into posts. Same with tumblr, most of the time it's just pushing a button. there is opportunity for discourse but it's somehow less personal to me then journals and forum posts.
But really, I am trying to encourage myself to write since I graduated especially. These days I get my best ideas when I'm in the shower or riding my bike. and when i say my best i mean the only ones i recognize regularly. and then of course i forget them because theres literally no way you can write something down in the shower or when you're on your bike
The main project that I need to focus on is getting the new strong babes album done by fall. strong babes is me and the other original members of baked goods plus a bunch of musician friends from brooklyn and suny purchase.
i dont know what the album is called yet and I know what I'd like it to be about but i'm not even halfway done yet. I have a bunch of stuff typed up, written down, and recorded. I'd really like it to be done for fall so I should probably start documenting it more.

and if i could, i would…
grow my bones and shrink my skin to be more like you
or maybe more like what you need - more likely, what i believe That is.
could it be - I am already what you need,
but what you want - that’s different.
Different, like my changing posture,
my vertebrae lining up more correctly,
trying to be seen and not heard. (for once.)
I have done a million forward bends,
swan diving hands flat to the floor and pushing my nose into my knees.
Trying to take back years of doing it wrong.
trying to peel myself, like an orange.

"The Things Passengers Bring
Workforce Stories
When is a pen not just a pen? The answer is when it doubles as a potential weapon.
A TSO at Palm Beach International (Fla.) was working the X-ray machine when he came across an anomaly on the screen and called for a search of a passenger’s backpack. Inside, the responding Officer discovered a tactical pen, used commonly by law enforcement as a defense tool with its sharp aluminum-based point on one end and blunt portion on the other.
A Supervisory TSO confirmed that item was a prohibited item. The police responded and issued the passenger a criminal summons to appear in court – under the state statute – for carrying a concealed weapon. He was cleared for travel and there were no flight delays."
yeah, cause im sure he was totally gonna stab someone on the plane. oh god. i hate flying. i hate the government. i hate the tsa. i wish i could apparate.

bruises healing slowly but surely.
yesterday was fun, i met up with stephen and erica in albany and we bounced around, went to a bookstore - i got the white album by joan didion and the handmaidens tale by margaret atwood for my flight. really stoked. also had awesome pizza. C:
it snowed alll day today. i got netflix back so i watched some 30 rock, cleaned, drank a lot of tea. my dad bought my favorite kind of ice cream, but they must have changed something about it because its not as good as it used to be a few years ago. double chocolate chunk, it used to have sooo much chocolate in it like giant chocolate chunks and chocolate syrup deposits now its basically just like a half the amount. disappointing, but at least it wont tempt me so much. i used to love that shit.
less than 3 days until arizona! i think im going to start packing tonight. hiking boots, crop tops, jorts, bathing suit (:

im getting more and more excited about new years eve. the city is going to be so fun. it just stinks that the jersey shore is taking over the ball drop but luckily i wont be stuck inside watching tv/chugging alcohol/wanting to kill myself. ill be at the titus/real estate show and party hopping in brooklyn afterwards, ho ho ho ho ho ho. hopefully also looking hot in ma new dress from h&m. ive been working out everyday (except today and yesterday haha) and eating really healthy. it already fits better ( i can breathe in it, which is more than i can say about a few days ago.)
i cleaned my room today. i still have to finish but its a major relief. i dont know why i have such a tough time getting off the computer when it's not like anything is happening on the internet...i need to deactivate my fb for a bit i think.
I'm going to start tonight to compile pictures from the past year.
and hopefully get going on editing the photos from this entire semester... hah.
but for now...
i spent 28$ getting 2 disposables developed. fml
