egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

let us take this opportunity to have a rest from the normal and mundane ups and downs of every day life and speak of the delightful topic known as apartment mates. baruch hashem i am blessed with a wonderful wacky, loving, and crazy roommate. and we get along great. but there is one person in my apartment who drives me crazy. i have a problem with the people who walk into your room and decide that they were invited in, just like that. i was sitting on my bed the other day with my roomie watching a movie when the other girl walks and asks what we are watching. so we tell her, and we tell her that we are doing are homework at the same time. now in anybody else's universe that means 'this is not public movie time. its just background noise. well have movie night another time'. but not in her world, no. in her world that means 'hey this is what we're watching, come join us if you want'. so what does she do? she invites herself into our room, plops herself down on my bed, and proceeds to watch with us, breathing loudly in my ear. so how much jail time do you think i would get for murdering my apartment mate? 10-15 years? might be worth it.........

so today was a crappy crappy day. and let me tell you why. because first me and my roomie wanted to start moving our stuff into the other apartment that has a free room. we get a long with everyone there and wanted to get out of our apartment. then we realized we couldnt do it until we okayed it with the office. fine. so i went to ask and the people i needed to clear it with werent there. so ill wait till tomorrow. thats ok. then in class my house mother said that there is a girl coming for a couple of days next week and she is supposed to stay in that extra room. so we cant move till after that. okay...fine. im disappointed, but ok. then i get back from class, and there, sitting on the couch is the reason i want to move. annoying person, asking me questions about my class, not in an 'im interested to know what your doing because im your friend' tone but in the 'im your mother where were you' tone. i wanted to punch her. so now not only could i not move out yet, but i had to deal with her. then, just to top it off, i lost my ipod. i cant find it anywhere in my room. im beginning to panic. im just trying to keep thinking that its misplaced under a pile of clothes somewhere, not that someone stole it. i cannot live without my ipod. i need to have it. i must find it. must. find. it. danger will robinson.........well ok i feel a little better not. this was sort of a catharsis. im gonna go on upstairs now...sharpen my knives......

This Meeting Is Called To Order

dear brain,

we havent had a company meeting in about month so i decided to call one. while normally no meetings called a in a few weeks is a good sign because things are running smoothly, i feel this is the longest we have ever gone without an update. i feel a little like when the children are quiet too long, you know they are probably up to something bad. so i decided we should just touch base every once in a while.

so lets see what has been going on in the past few weeks. finished a semester of college...uh huh...wrote to ex-boyfriend, hmm not sure that was such a smart move...started new semester, uh huh, very nice...some emotional ups and downs on the Emotia-Meter i see. well these are things we will be discussing in our company meeting this week. presence is mandatory.

so lets talk about communication for a minute. all potentially life altering, or emotionally involved decisions must be passed through the highest levels of clearance before any action is made. everything must be well thought out, organized, and signed off on before anything is executed. this a top of the line company men, i expect nothing but perfection from each and every one of you. please dont disappoint me.

one more thing before i end this boring update. you, under no circumstances are to feel unloved, neglected, unappreciated, or undesirable in anyway. the company would fail to run properly without the help of each of everyone one of you. this system needs the input of everyone: emotions, perspective, thoughts, experiences, love, hate, and dreams are all important to make the logical and practical decisions this company is famous for.

thank you everyone, hug someone you love,
