oh my god. i might vom.
i’m mega stressed out about the chicago trip now…i have a non-refundable ticket that i might not get to use.
vom vom vom.
amidst my worry i went on absolutepunk and read the four year strong interview that made me laugh. thank you dan o’connor for being witty and making me want to cry less.
AP:How do you manage to keep your beards so manly but unitchy? Any advice on growing a...
auld lang syne
means “days gone by”.
chicago may turn out to be a drag.
i’ve always wanted to take a vacation on my own, so i guess that’s one way to look at it.
there are two ways to ring in the new year:
positively
negatively
either way, it’s coming, wether i’m out a party, or alone in a hotel room.
at least there will be snow :)
go figure.
nostalgia overload.
so my stuff came in from cargo a few days ago and this morning i had the chance to sit around and go through everything. when i moved i unceremoniously dumped things into boxes because i was so lazy and didn’t pack short on time. so i found the “all about me” book that colin gave me for christmas one year when we were in college. he answered every question in that book, pretty...
ssssSSSHHHHHH.
i went to the beach today and did jack shit. it was glorious. i sat there and read capote and listened to rogue wave and watched people.
can’t really go wrong with that.
maybe i’m getting better, or maybe i’m just able to attempt to bury the hatchet.
i could be distracted.
well, either way.

Watchmy godson, the pig.
merry bitchmas.
say anything, i completely understand you now.
i’ll say this:
i’m drunk. i know exactly what i’m talking about when i say that i’ll never ever be the same again.
not since you and not since i understand what it’s really like to feel yourself change. to feel like you’ve lost something forever. and most importantly, to bite the bullet and wish you a merry...
put yourself in a box, and mail yourself to...
half of the reason that i moved away was to forget about the past and most importantly to get rid of any feelings i had left. it seems, however, that the world that i once thought large has started to get smaller. circles of friends that i never thought would meet have met, and now people are entwining. normally, i’d find this cool. but when one name keeps coming up, i just feel the...
office olympics.
we decided to spice things up for the holiday season and do some office olympics.
today’s competition was the inanimate object creation day. we might even make a nativity scene out of them. lolz.
“i used to be a two-hole punch.”
“now i’m just a killing machine.” poor mr. sharpie.
suitcase. empty.
i’m totally contemplating just running away and buying a good camera and following bands everywhere, taking pictures.
press releases are making my brain hurt and my heart grinchy today.
arg.
Watchpretty much the greatest wedding dance party.
my little cousins are hilarious.
and party people in training.
let's go to paris.
i really love the movie Sabrina. i’m one of those closet romantics. this movie makes me want to pack my bags and move to paris and fall in love. like, lurv. lurrrrv.
my cousin is getting married in a few hours. it’s super weird. she and i used to bounce around on the bed singing TLC and climb trees together. now, she’s marrying the best guy possible for her, i swear, and...
the 2008's
because i need a break from press releases, i thought i’d make a list of things i really loved in this not so great year of 2008.
my new favorite band:
drunk like bible times is a great album. i had heard this band here and there and finally saw them live with Steel Train and Forgive Durden (gush!) and was pleasantly surprised with their live show…and how dudely their beards...
almost got grinchy
you know, a few nights ago i got a slap in the face from my own computer screen.
we had all been out one night, and she was there. she was in my iphoto. that girl was on my computer. i deleted them out of jealousy that she’s with who i want to be with.
blegh.
i don’t wanna be your favorite enemy.
my hearts on fire.
one heart to break, one heart.
-the submarines
…just...
good grief.
some days i really do feel like charlie brown. i have crap luck.
i went to the bank yesterday to get the loan for my car. they were even kind enough to put a rush on my application for approval to do me and the dealership a favor and speed up the process. money for the car dealer, a car for me.
i get a call today from the dealership asking when my loan was going to be approved because...
“Patty: Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue. It’s fun.
Linus Van Pelt:...”

sigh. i can’t wait for snow.
by the way. i can’t wait for christmas and americana.
it makes me think of the holidays in long island when i was a kid and the guys competing for who had the most stuff on their lawn. there was always that house.
i loved that house…
while i'm on the kick. spin that record...
chris burned the new girl talk album for me.
it brings the jams.
enjoy: the part where lil mama’s “lip gloss” is put over metallica’s “master of puppets”
why can't i fall in love til' i don't give a damn?
i got this album last night, and i have to say, it’s one of my new favorites.
i highly recommend war elephant by deer tick if you’re a fan of the avett brothers, dear and the headlights, or anything precious/awesome in general.
…because then i know what kind of fool i am.
vroom!
i got the best news last night.
turns out that the guy who was gonna buy the car that i wanted changed his mind! i have my loan appointment on tuesday afternoon, so by next weekend i could have wheels of my own.
mega exciting.
as much as i love being a kid sometimes, this grown up stuff isn’t all doom and gloom.
it’s going to be soooo amazing to drive to and from work and just...
seeing is believing.
i shouldn’t have looked. i am now sitting at my desk, feeling sort of green and warm. i’m glad there’s a door that can close, because i’d never want anyone to see me cry at work.
everytime i see something, my heart breaks again. just a little.
just enough.
but, i have to laugh it off because my boss made a very good point yesterday. she was explaining this person...
eat dirt.
that’s the photo that started everything.
it’s so easy to forget what’s happening everywhere else. this image reminded me.
I’m MerchMinded. Soon you will be too.
stay tuned…
this is what happens when you transplant your body...
That’s how it starts. We go back to your house. We check the charts, And start to figure it out. And if it’s crowded, all the better, because we know we’re gonna be up late. But if you’re worried about the weather then you picked the wrong place to stay. That’s how it starts. And so it starts. You switch the engine on. We set controls for the heart of the sun, one of...
Watchthe cows, part deux.
sorry i’m so obsessed. i think they’re hilarious!
Watchthe cows, part one.
if you were an hour, you'd be the 11th.
office christmas party: wooooo SHIT.
as predicted, i got wasted out of my mind and hated my date.
furthermore, that is super over with. and i’ll psa myself for the rest of my time here:
keep your hands to yourself and stop being bored.
i’m getting on a plane to tampa in a few hours. i. can’t. wait.
xo
if you're in love i'll stab myself.
metaphorically.
like you, carrie bradshaw, i’m an emotional cutter.
well fuck me with a candy cane, the holidays are here and i don’t have to buy a present for a dude. that’s refreshing, and also kind of sad all at the same time.
i’m so happy the holiday season is here. last night i got a yummy spicy smelling candle and put up my christmas lights! my...
jingle bells, batman smells.
I just got really excited for the holidays. Thanks, December, you’re awesome.
What I currently really love a lot:
christmas smelling candles.
my cat. his jingle bell collar.
this shitty weather.
