new friendship test

I say:

"I just bought some beads."

You say:

"???"

HAHAHA FUCKERS

I GOT INTO THE HISTORY PROGRAM AT UWM.

I START GRAD SCHOOL IN JANUARY.

IN TWO TO THREE YEARS I WILL BE A FULLY QUALIFIED ARCHIVIST.

AND I WILL HAVE TWO MASTERS DEGREES.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

tomorrow is laundry day

You know what's really pretty wonderful? When you're sitting around, missing someone and feeling blue, and that person you're missing calls you and tells you that he/she misses you too.

On a related note, to all my lovely New York people, I miss you, and I'm terribly sorry I haven't called you. It's not you, it's me. I have been far too self-involved, adjusting to Milwaukee and getting two new jobs and this whole thing where I'm not really depressed anymore.

I made a necklace today. It is long and red and sparkly.

boo

I was all set to finally upload all my pictures from Argentina to Flickr, but their damn server is down. Stay tuned, I will hopefully have pictures up sometime soon.

i am happy

About pretty much everything, except the thing where the Packers totally fucking gave up a win against the Bears, because fucking McCarthy decided that "establishing the running game" meant they had to run on every single fucking play, even after it was clear the Bears had picked up on this plan and started, you know, shutting down our nascent running game, and also the part where for the entire second half he was calling plays like he was protecting a lead when we were TIED AT 20-20 and also what the fuck James Jones?!? Okay, fine, you fumbled once, alright, you weren't really holding on to the ball, but sometimes that happens, you don't except the defense to try that hard to strip the ball (it's not like this is PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL OR ANYTHING, why would they try so hard to strip the ball?), fine, but A SECOND TIME? ON THE VERY NEXT DRIVE? LOSING US ANOTHER NEAR-GUARANTEED SEVEN POINTS? Also, seriously guys, 12 penalties? What the fuck was up with that?

But aside from that, everything is peachy. And the Packers are still 4-1, so at least there's that.

where to begin

Seriously, no idea.

Uhh... go buy a book. Back? Okay, good, let's continue.

The Packers beat the Vikings today, which means that the Pack are 4-0 and also that they beat the fucking Vikings, so, you know, awesome. Favre beat Dan Marino's all-time touchdown record in the first quarter. I teared up a little; my first memory of the Packers is being so angry that some dude I'd never heard of was replacing Don Majkowski. I totally loved Don Majkowski. Anyway, the game was awesome and the Packers are undefeated and clearly I was meant to move back to Wisconsin.

I think I'm finally getting over my cold. The coughing is only sporadic, which should help me at work tomorrow. Not the bookstore, other work. I signed a confidentiality agreement, and they keep telling us how every single thing that happens is covered by it, so I'll play it safe and just say that being able to talk without coughing is going to be advantageous. As for the bookstore, a.k.a. The Work That Isn't Really Work, I get to take pictures of books that we're selling on eBay. I'm getting paid to take pictures of books! I really wanted to go into the store today, but as this is my first day off in a week, I figured I'd regret it. Probably.

I bought a weekly bus pass for the first time since I moved here. I actually need it now that I leave the house. Granted, I've mostly been leaving the house for work lately, but now that I'm not coughing all the time and scaring people around me, I might see about getting some friends. Maybe go see a show. There are so many options, what with my bus pass and all.

hey guess what

Remember this?

HEAVEN. ON EARTH.

I have a new life goal: working at a bookstore. OH WAIT, I DO. HAHA, LIFE, I WIN!

Go buy some books; I listed all of the books that are on the front page right now. I recommend this book if you're looking for something to buy for me (make sure to buy it from downtownbooks-milw). On a related note, it's going to be really hard not to spend my entire paycheck on books. Apparently, there's an employee discount.

FINALLY

I have internet at my house. Perfect timing, as I leave for the Megabus to Minneapolis in 20 minutes. I'll be up north until Sunday, and I start at both jobs on Monday. This week is pretty awesome.

oh shit

I HAVE A JOB AT A BOOKSTORE.

MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE.

fuck you, new york!

Packers won, Packers won, hahahahahaha!

The Packers are 2-0, and they beat the Giants! I love New York, but I loathe New York sports teams.

(Also, a month after I broke down and started smoking again, I am getting a cold. Send echinacea; I have the Vitamin C covered.)
