it has been basically 3 years since i've written here. that's a long time. really. a lot has happened and i will make a list. trying to stay in order.
i graduated.
got three jobs and then passed out at christmas and quit them all.
house-sat for a lesbian couple.
house-sat for a french/russian couple.
met a punk-rock boy at the pill.
became better friends with his best friend.
becky moved back to boston for a summer.
did the thing.
katy perry became famous finally.
i worked at the horn book for 6 months.
one of my friends made a scary and sad decision.
i got more confident.
started studying to become a librarian.
found someone i liked again.
he decided he didn't like me.
started a band with a new friend natasha.
lost touch with my only sister.
got back in touch with my first love.
had my first grown up apartment.
moved 3 times.
got my close to dream job in publishing.
moved to new york city.
moved in with sarah rhatigan!
cut bangs.
lost a best friend to misunderstanding.
made new friends in a new city.
obama became president. and i went to see it.
my dad is about to take me to an expensive meal for the first time in 8 years.
yeah.
i guess i'm basically over college at this point. i think about high school more. does that make me lame? livejournal makes me think about high school...i think in order to let go of the person i was in college i really need to start at high school. i'm not the same. i'm kind of boring. i listen to the same music. i eat pancakes and try on 5 different skirts before going out. all the same ones i've always had. i have the same bedspread. the same books. the same art. i never go to shows anymore though and i actually like shoes now and i'm better at some stuff. i think i know more about politics. i hold on to all of the same physical things in order to feel ties to my old self. because most of the time i feel like i don't have any ties to my old self. do i need ties to my old self? i don't feel great in this city. did i feel great in boston right away? i definitely didn't feel great in houston right away. was new jersey always the right fit and i got pulled away?
i just need my land to live on. and if molly was reading this she would laugh.

Horoscope for today=shit
Your critical analysis is often a source of stability in your life but now it's just making everything unbearable. You see what's wrong and you know how to fix it. But you are not in control. The harder you work to stabilize the situation, the crazier it becomes. Be aware that a relationship may have to fall apart before it is able to improve.

ive been traveling a lot this summer. i really don't think i've been in boston more than a week over the past month and a half. that's ok though. i really needed this time.
im staying in boston just so everyone knows. i wanted to move to california, but the job i was supposed to get won't be given to me until i actually move to berkeley. i just cant justify moving out there without this job security FOR REAL. i dont think i can go much longer without knowing if i like publishing and want to do it. so the choice is pretty clear...stay in boston, get said publishing job, decide if i love it, then ummm decide something else depending on the circumstances....sarah and i are looking for an apt. in cambridge/somerville. we have pretty low budgets, but im hoping it's do-able.
california was great as usual. i got a little bit tan and i saw a drag show. san francisco is one crazy place AND I LOVE IT.
the end.

well, this weekend has been both a huge success and a huge bust (hah). Thursday i got drunk with becky at sean and gregs. we watched the olympics and briefly had a dance off with red heads vs. brown heads. it was fun.
friday was the best. me, maggie and becky went to the pill at the great scott. there was a hilarious dance-electronic band and then they played good dance music. me and becky made dance boyfriends. we stayed until they kicked us out.
saturday night we went to dereks show. it was fun. the atmosphere was a little weird, but i had fun. there was a naked man. i missed it. me and becky left there and went to the great scott again expecting another fun night. the problem was jim's band was playing and i was drunk. he didnt want to talk to us and the music sucked. there was zero dancing and lots of feeling like i was gonna puke. i sent jim a message saying that i quit. it cracked me up for a long time, but now im thinking it wasnt such a good idea...
then there is tonight. beckys boyfriend called her and now he is at the house. don't get too excited. i think she feels real uncomfortable, but shes the one that brought him here. for the most part im a never nude, but since i got home like 10 minutes before them i was changing in pajamas and getting ready for bed and i felt a little strange when they came in and i was wearing very little. whatever. we tried to go to middlesex, but it was reggae night.
during the day i did laundry, some paper, a little reading and lots of watching arrested development and some other horrible movie. i drank way too much all weekend and couldnt drink at all tonight and will not drink again for awhile. i think im growing a beer belly and thats sick. (not really, but i feel gross)
i had a nice conversation with derek from home today. it wasnt even that long, but im glad we got a chance to say hi.
im so tired and i plan on sleeping all day tomorrow. tuesday i need to go to the health center and then to work. hopefully i will still have my job...

i don't know why all the movies i pick on netflix are seriously sad. i just pop another one in and have a good cry. it's umm fun? i dont know. i need to get something funny on there, but it seems that all the good movies are sad. I do cry a lot during movies that arent always sad. it's something i can't control. and hate.
im really enjoying my history class. i think i should have been a history major. Too late now and I don't really care. I guess I just wish I had had a little more freedom to pick classes.
soo sean and I are gonna go into the ice luge making business next year when we are young profeshes. it's gonna be hilarious.
i went to this party this weekend with old people. by that i mean older than me. some people were considerably older. i met a boy that i sorta liked. maybe a tad pretentious. i forgot my hat at the party, but jim got it for me and that makes me very happy. i also liked it when he called me at 9am to tell me. i think i told him to...
tomorrow is another internship commute day. GAH. everytime i have to go there it snows or rains. i don't get it.
im going to madrid really soon. i need to talk to julia about when we can go to barcelona. im not really worried. hopefully she will have things to do. i miss her sweet face.
ive been doing taebo recently and i figured out that billy blanks knows exactly how to get you pumped up and wanna work out. we have a great relationship. i think i need a new tape.
also, i got a humidifier. it's so dry in this apartment! the horrible news is that i missed every delivery so i have to go pick it up from this place far away. i thought they were open on weekends, but no. i have to get there before 6 tomorrow. i hope it works out.
ok i have to get back to this editing project. im dying! it's so tedious. i like making the marks haha, but i have the feeling im not doing it right. i guess i'll find out soon enough.
PEACE.

i went to a party at carlys last night. i got pretty drunk, but managed to look like i wasnt really.i think. (hah)
however, i did do at least one thing i regret. maybe two.
life is hectic for me. all i can do is listen to love songs.
today i will:
eat lunch with magdalena
finish reading all souls: a family story from southie
take clothes to thrift store
listen to love songs
not necessarily in that order.
it's been awhile since ive written. ive had too much time on my hands this weekend.
i missed everyone who is not with me last night! let's do something fun the next chance we get.

i think one of my favorite random similarities between me and becky and sarah is that there was a period in our lives long before we knew each other that our moms were obsessed with the Bonnie Raitt Nick of Time cd. it was kinda a sad time for all of us. it's funny though because it's our cleaning cd or our doing stuff around the house music and we all know all the words like they were planted in our brains and we all just kinda go into our own little world thinking about things that none of us knows about the other. it's one of my favorite things.
sarah is coming in a week and a day! im trying to think of great things to do. i already have the fiesta planned.
i watched one flew over the cuckoo's nest last night. i had never seen it and i loved it! seriously, i just loved it.
time for laundry check!

i just realized that my livejournal is the last thing where my password is the same as the old password i ALWAYS used. ive been phasing it out.
i went to miami last weekend and it was really nice to see my mom. shes really funny. raymond told me i could change my name to zoe santiago if i wanted to and im thinking about it...it's such a sweet lovin name. he also gave me a bunch of pictures from him in the 70s in college that were awesome. he had a huge fro. it looks pretty amazing. i really, really like him. he's so nice to my mom. today is her birthday. they are going to new york.
there is the most obnoxious engineering grad student GIRL sitting outside of the office talking soooo loud on her cellphone. ugh. liz just informed me that shes the resident tease. that's good since shes the only girl.
me and sean and maggie are going to move in together next year. thats the tentative plan. i didnt think i wanted to stay in boston, but i love it more everyday. too bad it is getting cold and it's really pretty today, but god. in a month it might be torture. i guess that only means that our christmas card will be awesome.
me and becky and sarah made a giant picture wall in our living room. all of pictures of ourselves over the 3 years. it's pretty amazing. now when people come over they just look at it and are amazed. i also stole this awesome giant engineering poster from work, but they wont let me put it up. it has crazy graphs and equations on it. i might put it up in my room and soon i will be a genius.
me and sarah are going to a play tonight. she gets free tickets from work. i forget exactly what it is, but i think it's about ireland. i hope she doesnt cry. i really want to go to the symphony. i think thursday (or one night) is student night. i think becky knows.
i swear to god im gonna go to the mapparium this semester. maybe ill do that when sarah comes.
ive been trying to get this volunteer position at the library to read to children, but it's really tough. i wish they wouldnt make volunteering tough to do. it discourages people.
BASICALLY, WE GOT RECYCLING IN OUR BUILDING FIIIIINAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY. and it's the best thing that ever happened to us at 1139. no more late tuesday night hauls.

i just had a pretty intense online conversation. i guess i missed those, hah. argue argue. i got it in me.
i found out BU has an editorial institute and I am trying to take a publishing class. please, BU, please don't fail me. my advisor is so nice. he says, "I don't mind your questions. They're filled with enthusiasm and curiosity, both of which I admire." He's really great and always interesting. he also looks like bob from twin peaks.
royksopp was last night and oh boy did i have fun. they played remind me. they were wearing matching outfits. they had skinny ties that really impressed maggie. at one point i realized i was jumping and dancing so hard that the entire contents of my purse has jumped right on out onto the floor. then me and maggie had to find it all. it was quite the night.
if anyone is going to be driving to philadelphia for thanksgiving it would be awesome if you could give me a ride. thanks.

today jim gave me a t-pass he found on the ground,maggie came to work and it was so beautiful out. i really like the fall. im thinking that im much better off this year. me and maggie and zack hung out for awhile trying to recreate summer, but we realized that we cant really. it was just too fun. however, we are going to promise to try and live by summer principles.
im starting a club. it's called junto. it's a club that benjamin franklin started and it seems pretty great. you just get together and talk about current issues, whatever you want really. it's just about being with like-minded people for some time each week. making sure that everyone remembers why it is that they have so much fun together. you are supposed to write essays; however, we dont have time. dont worry though, junto will continue in the future when college papers wont get in the way of real life.
the cover of the weekly dig is me, sarah and becky. look at it. it's unbelievable. it's on our fridge.
my mom is coming on thursday. im pretty excited. i dont know what we are gonna do.
im organizing an apple picking trip. if you are interested please let me know.
cheers.

my house is awesome! i mean, apartment. i mean, life structure. i mean, bed.
of course, i live in the same place. it's just that right now...it's comepletely filled with the bestest people of my life! maggie, unfortunetely has been screwed by BU so she is still staying with me. and carly is waiting for her house to get cleaned so she is here. and becky is back and sarah is still here. i love it. it will be sad when half of the party leaves.
i saw leah last night. im convinced she is bipolar.
my birthday was really fun. we had a dance party at a sketchy dance club on the boardwalk ahah. it was filled with old men watching our sweet moves. we pretended we were in jamaica in this weird beach bar at one point. there were lots of cute foreigners. carly was sick, but still awesome! and zack and aaron made an appearance in more than one way.
i love the beach. tomorrow im going on an excursion. then possibly to a show. i have mixed feelings about classes starting. im feeling really burnt out.
