What’s up. Lots of things have been going on but I didn’t feel like writing about them because I think this blog is just making me even more self-centered than I already was if that’s even possible. But then today my grandpa asked me why I never write anything anymore so I figured maybe it’s okay to be self-centered as long as it provides more slacking fodder for people, not that that’s so much necessary now that pretty much everyone I know has graduated but whatever.
I’ve started actually enjoying New York. I think it was an awful idea to move there in the dead of winter so that I was already depressed, which made it hard to make friends, which meant I had no life, which made me more depressed, and blah bloo blee blah. But now the weather is much better and I am happier and I am making more friends and wah woo wee wah! Plus Keith and Suzanne are moving here in the fall! Okay, Suzanne is only thinking about moving here, but I’m pretty sure that the more we talk about it as if it’s already happening, the more likely it is to happen. Man is it ever going to be awesome when she moves here. Move to New York! Move to New York! Do it do it do it!
I recently got to visit Berkeley for two weeks on “business” and it was so spectacular. It was basically like being back in college for two weeks, but with no tests or homework! Pretty much all my friends were there and it was so, so magical, especially after spending the previous five months under the strong impression that I had no friends anywhere because my social life consisted mainly of comic book characters.
In other news, Leigh got engaged! Awesome! She is the first of my same-aged friends to get married. I am going to be a bridesmaid! Catie is going to be the maid of honor, so she totally won the friendship contest. That is how these things work, isn’t it? Also, I can’t wait to be all like, “always the bridesmaid never the bride rofloflofl”.
Random story: we had a team-building event in California, and we had to go around in a circle and say what we “brought to the team” so people would be like “I’m a leader!” or “I can jump off of tall things!” and my thing was “I know the periodic table of the elements,” and then for one of the activities you had to know the periodic table of the elements! And it was crazy! The mind still boggles!
Another thing: I’ve been using twitter pretty steadily, so check it out if you’re hurting for some slacking fodder. David set up a nifty feed box thing underneath the pictures. Neat!
And finally, my hair has started to grow back in, so now I have a layer of fuzz underneath all the long hairs. Like a chia pet. Kind of. Not really. But even though it’s a little better, I still feel anxious all the time and I don’t know how to stop. It’s not as though you can will yourself to relax, because then you just get more anxious about not being able to relax and then it gets worse. But if you don’t try to make it better, then you stay anxious all the time and get gray hairs and die at thirty. So what’s the solution! Maybe bubble baths. Actually, there’s a really neat sounding Korean spa/water park in one of the outer boroughs that I’ve been meaning to check out. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what will. Probably drugs and drugs alone. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that and the Korean water park just takes care of everything.

« Bloglet 4» What's up. Words coming soon.
1. When will we see each other again? I don’t know if I’ll make it to New York before I leave for India =/ When will you be in DC for the summer? Should I try to make a trip up to NYC?
2. My hair was cut short and is awkwardly growing back now. I need a hairdresser who will give me an emo swoop without making me look like a boy and/or like I have a mullet… goo.
3. OMG bridesmaiddom forevers!! Now Leigh can’t be a crazy cat lady with us, but I’m still psyched. The real question is, for her pre-wedding party, do we go with strippers, drag queens, or what? :)
