du jour
i got into college.
accepted into the DAAP fashion design school at the University of Cincinnati.
so i guess that's that!
it feels weird.
today was alternately bad and cool.
i come out of it mostly feeling the sting of the bad.
cheers.
and if you know how to keep dust off negatives, please let me know.

we the american working population
i got a JOB.
i havent made up my mind about it yet, really. i work at jo ann etc, which is cool... it's a good place for me to work. ask anyone. so that's cool. and i am a cashier. which is a fairly easy and enjoyable job... i just press buttons and talk to people about what they're making. i honestly like it. however, i will have worked 16 hours in three days as of tonight when i get off. three straight days. i am tired. i am real tired, especially because i am refusing to give up anything else... i am still going out and working like a madwoman on my halloween costume. (it's coming along nicely, and i am amazed at how much i can actually do on a sewing machine). and work is kind of weird... there are two types of employees: older ladies who like to quilt or whatever, and weird young ladies... weird ones. not people i like talking to, generally. and i am without a doubt the smallest person on staff. take that as you will. and having a first job is always awkward... i dont know how to have a job! i dont really get it. breaks, clocking in and out, closing... I DONT UNDERSTAND. and im deeply concerned about my schedule. if i am working five five-hour days next week, i will certainly die. and i fear that is what i'm in for. oh mercy.
i didnt get to help jason kaplan paint his room.
i dont get to see the boys next door.
my back hurts.
i had a great time at momo last night with shan, arvind, adam, josh (&mike).
i get to see the boyfriend tonight (finally! seems like it's been forever for some reason.)
the number one reason to have a job: I GET PAID NOVEMBER SECOND!!!!!

this weather is heartbreaking
you can see it in all of us. go read your friends page on your livejournal. or read mine. we're all a mess right now. we are bitter, we are sad, we are sorry, we are COLD. ive been with my friends a lot in the past 48 hours, having a great time, but the dreariness of the weather is oppressing the happiness i ought to be experiencing. it comes out as some kind of wistfulness... smiling sadly because i know i love the people around me and i still feel weighed down. cold.
cota day 2004 was NOT a success, but was still really fun. we (jason kaplan and i) didnt want to have to be outside in the rain plus i had to have the car back by nine, so we didnt go downtown. or even take the bus. instead, we just went out for breakfast. at 7 am. before the sun came up. then we came back here and took a nap. yeah. we took a nap.
later we went out a little bit. then we listened to some music, and then i beat the hell out of him at mario kart 64. we went to joann's. we parted ways.
jason kaplan, you're a star.
put on a sweater.
music: the faint
ps. this reminds me of my life a lot.

started printing dead shirts
failures of today:
didn't find any shoes for homecoming AGAIN
didn't work on english paper
started printing dead shirts.
they are being so difficult!!! i couldnt get most of them to register right... andrea's was heinous, but with some careful painting i got it to look semi-normal. and colin's... holy crap. it was a MESS and i spent a long time re-painting the whole thing by hand... and then smudged it with my thumb. ugh. it was gonna be like, perfect, too. carlo's turned out very well. sunny's was alright, as were kevin's and marc's. thank you for being patrons and good friends. sorry i suck.
this weekend could be yikes.
a MILLION??!?!
daaaaaang.
well, there's my existence.

the boyfriendless festival
(days 1 and 2)
so he's at the potato festival in springfield, ohio. don't ask me, i don't know. but anyway... this has allowed for a weekend of madness. cause i got nothing else to do.
Day 1:
shopping with mukul. watching him be all cute about not knowing how to operate a shirt, and not understanding why men's clothing is sized in multiple numbers. but we found what we needed.
dinner. aunt and little boy cousins from cincinnati, on the way to pittsburgh (where there is no sun) stopped in for dinner. so did shannon and arvind, randomly. so we ate and then just talked and stood around. it was a nice surprise to have them come by.
shoe shopping with andrea. i need shoes for HOmecoming. i shopped. i found nothing. so then we just went back to my house and talked about david bowie and marilyn manson and everything else we have a crush on.
movie at mike's. i showed up late, watched the second half of eternal sunshine and ate some cake. thanks for the cake, arvind. mike's room is covered in comic book characters. it's neat.
Day 2:
xc meet. at least we won.
some crap around the house. nothing important.
india festival. the dumb joke of the day was that we thought it was the INDIE festival. when we saw another indie (white) kid there, shannon said to me, "looks like somebody didn't get the memo." it was funny. we kept doing it, as the only white people there were indie. it was actually a really good time. i wanted to be indian so bad the whole time i was there... it's just this rich, beautiful culture... sunny and parag's dance was wonderful. and i ate some yummy indian food and there was all kinds of cool indian clothes and art and jewelry and eee! and i got myself a tee shirt. w00t.
brian's house. most of the kids who were at the indiafest (which was actually, a group of like, 15 of us... which was weird, because we didnt exactly all plan to meet up there) went back to brian's. we watched the season premiere of andromeda which he had dvr'd for sunny (yeah, i dunno either) and then The Pianist, which was good. sad. and i am obvious.
who knows what further excitement boyfriendless festival will bring?? probably none. because sundays are never interesting. maybe i'll play some football.
ps. it isnt that i dont have fun with the boyfriend. cause i do. its just that when i am out with him, i am not out with my own friends, so getting to hang out with them this weekend was delightful.
