i wish i had a christmas tree.

 

look at me. finally starting another blog and promising to keep it up, yet it’s been sitting vacant for several weeks now.

sigh.

in my defense, shit has been hectic. but the sememster ended on several good notes, and this week has offered me some of the free time that i had long since lost.

spent last night at the leadway watching spike and murphs do their thing. i’d been trying to get up north to watch their open mic night for ages now, and it felt good to finally get to hang out with everyone and just kick back. ended up being an interesting night all-around – i should have just gone home and gone to bed once i left the bar, but i went to hang out with a friend instead and ended up having a great time.

didn’t get home today until almost 3 in the afternoon, and at first, i was a little rattled – i felt almost irresponsible for having fun and enjoying my “me” time. i feel like i’ve severely overlooked the health benefits of “me” time, though. perhaps in the future i’ll be more comfortable with doing things for myself and not for others.

that being said, i’m watching bad movies and playing on the computer instead of cleaning and doing laundry.

me time, right?

it’s starting to feel a lot like ….. finals?

ktc and i always seem to have fun shifts together. we didn’t really work with one another before she went to south america, but we had our second shift together (post her return) on saturday morning. i don’t know what was going on – perhaps we were both a little hungover, perhaps customers were just extra bitchy because the effects of their turkey comas were wearing off. either way, we jokingly told billy to bring us whiskey, baileys, and a pack of unfiltered cigarettes.

billy apparently likes to ignore sarcasm and pulled these three delightful little gifts out of his coat pockets that morning.

much love to billy.

 

OH. it’s snowing. a lot. the weathermen keep telling me to expect a total accumulation of 6 inches, but i think they’re lying. it’s nights like this where i remember setting my alarm clock for 4am just so that i could call the school closing hotline as soon as possible in the morning. there were definite advantages to growing up on a dirt road in a small school district, and most of those advantages were snow days.

it’s almost 3am, and i should be sleeping. but i’m sick (again), and i have so many thoughts racing through my mind that i can’t seem to fall asleep. well, that and the fact that i’m sort of an insomniac, and my roommate and i can’t stop running outside to smoke cigarettes and watch the snow fall.

i cried today for no reason.

i drank way too much coffee.

i didn’t do enough homework this weekend.

i should be memorizing my shakespeare combat scene.

i should have invested in fenders for my bike.

i should have double checked that email.

i should stop worrying about stupid little things because it makes me miserable.

 

happy finals, everyone.
