Hello Goodbye
Bye 2010, it was a pleasure to know you. You’ve treated me well and made up for your very lame friend, 2009. Hello 2011, you’re an odd-numbered year so already we’re starting off on a bad foot, but I’ll be mature and give you a shot hoping you’ll prove my prejudice wrong. But as a warning, you better be kind or I’ll kick your ass.

Hey Darwin
People who don’t say sorry/thank you,
People who stiff tips for no reason,
People who think it’s okay to walk into you, then look at you like you’re at fault,
People who push through crowds because they’re too good to wait like the rest of us…
Why do you still exist? Where’s this “natural selection” I heard so much about? Work your mojo,...

this cliche or that?
physical manifestations of stress/anxiety:
vomiting
piercing stomach pains (which i’ve self-diagnosed as possible ulcer)
headache
can’t figure out which cliche i should follow: “quitters never win” or “life is too short to be miserable” — asdlfkjasdfasd;fj is the only thing i can muster up at this point.

Blogging to save my life
Well kinda.
See, there’s a giant creeper who sometimes gets on the same bus as I do. And he always has to sit next to me, even when there are empty rows. And some time last year, he crossed the line by trying to hold my hand, not once, but twice! Um, sir, NOT OKAY.
So now I’m trying to keep occupied so I don’t just sit here quietly as prey for his pedophilic ass.*
He’s...

Mo money, mo problems (not that I know this)
Just made a pseudo budget & it is beyond bleak. Will I be able to move into city at current salary/student loan debt? I know the answer already & I don’t like it.
Also just wanted to give a shout-out to the following:
- NJ Transit for increasing fares 25%
- Me for losing my bus pass (so I need to buy another one for rest of April)
- Hoboken for breaking my car (but really me bc...
summer schoolin'
since i can’t get away to paris anytime soon, i’ve been toying with the idea of taking continuing education classes after work.
basic accounting? why not?!
food studies? OKAY!
i really miss math and want to do something there (don’t ask) — my left brain needs some stimulation.
with rebecca’s encouragement, i think i’m going to register for classes at the...

cravings galore
flatbread topped with hummus then caramelized onions, then arugula… maybe some feta on top.
possible to get somewhere in the city?
(eh, will probably make this weekend)
oui oui, non non.
i want to walk along the champs-elysees and sit at cafes and eat macarons all day and make fun of silly americans (obviously, i’d have shed this identity by the time i land at the charles de gaulle airport) and master the art of french chic-ness (and perhaps the french braid too) and meet french boys and wear berets…
it’s getting really difficult to let go of this dream lately....

Things that annoy me - #3
People using the emergency exit (& thereby setting off the blaring alarm) when exiting the subway.
There is no way you, sir, are saving a life by avoiding the turnstiles, so spare my sanity & eardrums at 9 am.

Things that annoy me - #2
Big people who don’t realize they’re big.*
Okay, if you’re large (whether or not you’re also in charge is irrelevant), do not act as if your size is negligent. Meaning:
do not wedge yourself in that teeny free spot on subway seat.
do not try to push past me when there is little space to do so.
This has nothing to do with hating on fatties in general (uh hello, look...

Things that annoy me - #1
Women insisting on placing all their bags & junk in front of them instead of in designated storage areas, resulting in me unable to move my seat back even a little.
things i need to create
all styles of sunglasses for wide faces
jeans/pants flattering to flat posteriors
(list to be continued, when i can think of other things that annoy me)

Does tumblr allow for emo-ness?
I’ve had a livejournal, a xanga, & multiple wordpress + blogspot blogs — looking back on them is hilarious. But DAMN was I emo.
(I wasn’t really, but if you read my posts, you’d think I was an antisocial, suicidal loner.)
I kinda miss such emotional, honest writing, as embarrassing as it is. So, tell me, does tumblr allow for this emo-ness I have deep down inside...
What would you do?
Scenario: you really need to pee, but the last bus is 730 & it’s 728.
Do you miss your bus or risk embarrassment by testing your bladder during the 75 min ride?
Did you know tomorrow's Greek Independence Day?
I did.
Know how I know? Because a car is picking me up at 5 am so I can go drop off yogurt at morning radio shows. Greek yogurt, that is.
Wish I were joking.
