Greetings from...

...my new MacBook!

Another Day without a Dollar

So, today my iTunes pretty much stopped working and then spat on my face. And then I accidentally put my copy of The Hotel New Hampshire through the washing machine. On the up side, I found my high school blog in the internet archives. On the down side of that, though, it turned out to be incredibly boring. That's all for today. I'll be going back to work on Thursday, so my life of solitude and humility ends tomorrow.

Hooray!

...for the Beautiful Traps!
...and for me! I took a shower, and I'm about to take another! And I'll be back downtown for the weekend. Additionally, ever since I wrote the WikiPhilly Y100 article, I have been listening to YRock on XPN. It's been a blast from the past, but I also feel a little more hip, since I haven't listened to any radio in quite some time.

Update: My Foot is still Broken

My stitches come out tomorrow! The most exciting thing about that is that I can finally shower! And shave my legs. Great Scott, they look horrible.
Dominique told me to watch American Idol tonight so that we could talk about it tomorrow, but I got distracted and watched Adam and Steve. That was entertaining. I hadn't watched any television or movies in almost a week. I intend to make buttons tomorrow --after the shower. Yup, it's a big day tomorrow! I'm gonna get out of bed and everything!

Founded for Life

Today Jared and I were speaking, briefly, about the idea of "Self." We said everything that you can say about it, I think. You can't really ever know yourself. But the only thing you ever know is yourself. You have a self that you are aware of, but everyone else is aware of you in a different way, which is both entirely separate from you but also contributing to the self that you create. ET CETERA.
I made a comment about how maybe my favorite thing is the idea that I am aware of my Self to whatever extent I am aware of it, and that's my business. But people think about me in ways that I will never understand without being myself, and that's none of my business. People own parts of me that I don't even know about. That is my favorite thing.
So.
Then I found myself wandering around the internet for the first time in days. I have been pretty bored with it lately, but one thing (or, two things, I guess) I will never get bored of are FOUND Magazine and PostSecret. Lisa had something on her blog from Post Secret a few days ago and it's been in the back of my mind since then.
Jared and I were also talking about people owning photographs of you that you have never seen. I personally own thousands of photographs from middle school up to the present and they are filled with people that I don't speak to anymore, or have never spoken to in my life... Strangers wind up in the background of your photos all the time. I am in the background of people's vacation slides. So are you.
These things exist.
As a side note, the image that I uploaded from FOUND is something that was found in Philly. That's why I chose it. I am not (aware if I am) infertile. But I am (so far) under 24. And, oh yeah, I'm (not) married.

Good Brief

Me no blog in days.. sorry.
I don't really feel like doing it right now, either. This was a depressingly boring week. I don't know where it went. I wiki-ed a bunch, but I have a whole bunch of other things I want to be doing. I haven't read a thing. And I'm supposed to be making buttons. I will make buttons next week. I have to.
I am getting some tax money back. That's awesome. I haven't spent any money in almost two weeks, which is also awesome. I was worried about getting back to the city and not having any money but it looks like I may have more money than ever! It's still not much, but any money is good money. I guess.
Ok, bye.

Good Grief

Today I am sad because it is snowing. It is snowing and I am sitting around doing nothing. I can't go outside because I can't wear a shoe. And one of my favorite things is when it snows in the city. And I am not in the city.
I realized that two of my favorite days were when it snowed in the city.

I just wrote out the story of both of those days and erased it. It seemed like it would be boring to someone else. They were great, though, because nothing happened but it snowed. And the two days were the days of the only big snow last year and the year before. And this is going to be the big one this year and it's going to be a sham.

Well, this is stupid. I'm gonna go eat some chocolate.
