sympathy pains

when she cried
i wanted to cry
cause i know what it's like to have hurt feelings.

thrifting is suppose to be thrifty

townsend thrift, my friends, is not a thrift store.
because of course, i don't mind paying the price of new clothes for
your used, unstylish clothing. i'm being thrifty!

very easy on the eyes

good music

mudslides in peru

to think, only two weeks ago, i was at macchu picchu. in the last few days, there have been floods and mudslides in the area, causing tourists and locals to be stuck in aguas calientes with no way out but by helicopter. some have had to sleep on the streets and have been there for days.

isn't it strange how one can narrowly escape a life altering situation? there were pictures of the affected areas and i recognized specific locations because i had just been there! it reminds me of the movie "sliding doors" shows how one seemingly insignificant occurrence (in this case it's very significant) can completely change the course of one's life. if we had been stuck there, we could have easily missed our flight home, i could easily have starved to an unhealthy state (the food was horrible and made me sick) and a whole plethora of chain reactions could've taken place. and who knows where we would have ended up? i just have to be grateful fate has been good to me so far. i hope everyone gets out safely.

word of advice

eating + drinking + dancing (in a span of an hour) = extreme nausea.

do the swimming pool rule and wait at least an hour before becoming active.

reality

five days back in the real world and i'm suddenly realizing that the next six months is going to bring drastic change in my life (hopefully in a good way). in this economy, what can a college graduate expect, especially one who wants to stay in this beautiful and painfully expensive city? My lease will be up the same time i graduate which means that i'll have no more loans to rely on to pay rent. i work part-time at ______________ at minimum wage. i cannot afford a studio without the help of borrowed/obese- interest moneys. as for finding a job in my major without much work experience? good luck with that. if i could get paid eating and/or shopping, i'd probably be a millionaire. perhaps even a billionaire! i have mad taste.

friends

like new ones, but love old ones.

pine street post office

i could write a hundred bad yelps about you.
why do you have 2 people working, when there are 25 people in line?
why don't you have an express line for those who just want to pick up packages or buy stamps?
why can't you see that 40 minutes is much too much time to waste waiting?

spay your cats

never owned a cat before. if you didn't know, unspayed cats in heat make the most disturbing sounds you could never imagine. not to mention that they stick their asses up at you because they want something, anything, to relieve their horniness. yes, even you, human.

jetlag?

still running on peruvian time. that is, since the sun is down, my eyes are extremely heavy for want of sleep. but there will be no rooster to wake me in the morning here.

if you are american

go to a developing country and discover what a spoiled brat you are.
