short stop
I’ve recently applied for and gotten a job offer with a big corporation doing reception. I have a regular customer who comes in to my cafe everyday, and she’s the office manager of said company. She mentioned to me a few weeks ago that they were looking for someone new… so I interviewed and was hired… little did I know that in the corporate world there are many…...

I wish I could help, but Max would probably eat your dog and it would be horrible.

Multipurpose Post
Stephanie - ….. I don’t even know what to say to your post. maybe just a stern “ma’am” will do. it usually does the trick.
Nikki - I thought that I ran out of tears when I was going through therapy. Honestly, I’ve been to about 6 or 7 different therapists throughout my two decades of life… a few of them really made a difference, and some were just at the...
Just another lazy saturday with a movie and a book… stumbled upon this amazing poem. It speaks to me in the best way.
Streaming by Hakim Sanai
When the path ignites a soul, there’s no remaining in place. The foot touches ground, but not for long. The way where love tells its secret stays always in motion, and there is no you there, and no reason. The rider urges his horse to gallop,...
A 80 year old woman got on the bus I was riding this morning. She was around 5 feet tall, silvery gray hair thinning out and yet still fluffy, wearing a knitted sweater vest and sweatpants, even thought it was 80 degrees today. No one stood up immediately to give her a seat in the priority seating section, so she was stuck standing at the front holding on to a bar. A hispanic woman who looked to...
what a fabulous weekend :) A close friends bachelorette party last night… which was basically hanging out at a friends house, moving the party to boystown (always a good choice), then the belmont burlesque show. so much fun! today we made brunch and put together a few terrariums. I didn’t even mind the rain. :)
Ketel One Vodka - A Note
I have a bit of praise for the Ketel One Vodka ad I just saw while watching Rachel Maddow. I want to express my gratitude for the classy way you decided to end your ad. “Know when to step aside” was wonderful and I wish more people would heed this advice. In today’s media everything is all about aggression and sex and blah blah blah… so a big THANK YOU for not endorsing...
random kindness
So Alex and I were sitting on a half empty bus today on ashland. There were two older hispanic women who were lost and were chatting about it in spanish to one another. Two young boys were sitting near the back of the bus and heard them wondering where to go… so they both spoke up and give them directions, which I thought was nice in the first place. Then, when their stop came up, the boys...

hm. toilet cams on blogs. I thought they were only for wasted girls trying to take back the potty cam idea from the porn industry creeps. GUESS I WAS WRONG THERE.
I feel like there’s a lot of hostility lately from a few directions and I can’t say it’s enjoyable. I still hold strong to my previous post (if anyone read it) and feel as if we need to be BUILDING relationships. I...
Just a few things...
Sitting here checking out the newest addition to my ever growing collection of feminist literature, (thank you Emily!), I come to the realization that I haven’t been spreading my feminism around as much as I usually do. Reading through the interviews with so many female artist pioneers is basically blowing my mind right now. I will go ahead and admit that my ever-shaking fist wavers from time to...
Driving to florida gave me a small taste of a roadtrip and I’d really love to get on another one. I’d like to go west though.. I’ve never been over that way. I’ve had people from the west tell me I’d love it. Hmmm… how can I make this happen.
Visiting Florida makes me feel at home. It’s so much more my speed… minus the cars and rednecks. If I could find a place that combines my love for small town beach attitudes with big city advantages, I’ll be home. I feel lucky that I’m at a point where I can still search for a place. Nothing has me captivated. Half sad, but fully true. I don’t know everything, but I...

I worked 7:30am to 5pm today. So that was sweet.
Party on friday night at our place - there are like 6 things to celebrate (including my b-day) so why not.
I still don’t believe that Oreos are vegan.
annnnndddddddd I’m a bit tired.
SIDENOTE - I think Faith 21 is a silly name… but I won’t complain if they make dresses with bigger boob space. I can’t wear anything...
Work today was crap. One of my bosses has a thing against me, not sure what… but it makes things difficult sometimes. Like today. I wanted to take her aside and ask her if I’ve somehow offended her at some point, or have done something to bug her since she just won’t take the initiative and talk to ME about it… but I feel like it would make it worse and I would just get...
I’m broke, but I’m not negative. I can live off of spaghetti and a bus pass for the next 5 days. Going to Florida in May. I plan on being at the beach the whole time. Set me up with an umbrella and some sweet tea and I’ll be just fine. I hope it’s hotter than hell. Is that a crazy wish? Crazy but true.
I wonder...
…when and if I’ll ever stop biting my nails
…how long I’ll be in the city
…when I will be out of debt to my parents
…how long I’ll stay with my job
…who I’ll meet next and have a good friendship with
…if I’ll ever stop analyzing things/people/feelings
…when I’ll start school
party foul
Santullo’s is OUT OF MAC AND CHEESE. !!! I KNOW. and ps - their potato salad? not good.
anyway.
work = crazy
lover = crazy (/beautiful - hah!)
dog = crazy and stinky
life = crazy and fab

soo it's snowing.
I love watching snow swirl in the air. I am thanking God right now that I don’t have to go anywhere today.
I should probably be going to church tonight… considering I haven’t gone in about a month or two. But… I just haven’t really felt like it lately. I almost feel guilty about it, but I still have been praying every night and feel generally good about my life...
Woody Allen is a creep. which is sad. but he is. I’m watching Match Point and his love for ScarJo is totally taking over the whole movie. If Allen was younger, you KNOW ScarJo would be his Annie.
Pedro brought Seven Pounds over. It was touching… at the end. We had a good weekend. He was able to hold Max for me so I could clean his ears. Haven’t been able to do that in a long...
YARD WORK TIME
OOOOOH beautiful weather. What a fabulous weekend I’ve had.
Decided to get started on de-crapping our backyard for the summer. Here are a few stats.
random twigs and rocks = 6 large black trash bags + one big pile left stranded (ran out of bags)
shards of glass, roofing materials and packing peanuts = 1 large black trash bag + 4 smaller grocery bags
max poop = too much to count

Ok.

So my bike came today! Woo hoo! Lookout streets of Chicago, here I come. I got it all put together in about 30 minutes. I already carted my old bike downstairs and left it for the homeless. I’m stoked.
I also have bronchitis. Wah Waaaaah. I’ve been coughing, hacking and gagging for about a week so I made a doctors appointment and they are going to try to get me in tomorrow. So...

work is getting better. payday is friday. finalmente!

Artemio’s two days in a row.
A coworker was having a bad day today - well… come to think of it, she acts as if everyday is a bad day - and said to me “I hate this place. This is the worst job ever”. I thought to myself “ummm how many jobs have you had?” because I’ve...
Almost everyone I work with, I’m talking a good 85%, is a vegan and also heavily into film.
We don’t have much to talk about.
me encanta... !
“like I give a shit?” keeps popping into my head; but I know that it isn’t an acceptable reply.
It’s times like these… that help me to keep it real.
Watchanderson cooper… oh yes. :)
oh and I guess the dog dreaming is cool too.
fun idea for Chicago sooner or later →

Worked at Art Effect today. Also got asked to pick up a shift tomorrow. Both paid in cash. woo woo. :) Also got to catch up with a few girls I haven’t seen in a while - always a good thing! I bought the big bag of dog food today, it’s cheaper in the long run but a pain to lug back to the apartment. No pain, no gain… right? I wouldn’t usually adopt that phrase but it seems...

better late than never!
A few weeks back I had 2 interviews at Caffe Rom (it’s in the loop - love it completely) but sadly didn’t hear back. Until yesterday! The guy who interviewed me said that someone had to leave so there’s an open spot and would I like to start Monday. YES PLZ!! I don’t care if I was second string - Interviews are crap! I’ll love this job. I can feel it. See! Something...
Something is going on with Max. I don’t know what it is. He’s not exactly limping… just slow. Damn you, Rachel Ray… if he’s just constipated and I’m freaking out over nothing… I blame your rice recipe.

If I ever am a housewife for an extended time… large speakers attatched to my record player will be necessary. I don’t mind doing dishes or sweeping when there’s good music on. The work seems to fade into the background of an impromptu dance party, starring myself. I was doing dishes and ending up dancing with my tunes and I felt like Ellen for a moment. And I don’t hate...
Watchthey have never looked sexier!!!!
I feel like something is missing.
Something is happening.
Something big.
I can feel it.

You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.

all you need is love... right?
Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been listening to some really sappy songs. I’ve been paying more close attention to lyrics, and in doing so I’ve realized that my iPod is full of love songs. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. I wouldn’t usually be put off by it, considering everyone wants to be in love… but I have no one to try to fit into the lyrics. I mean… no one. Not...

hola friends
So this weekend was fantastic. Emily came to town! I have missed her so deeply over the last 8 months. So much has changed since we last saw each other. In both of our worlds! She’s going to London this summer to study abroad and do an internship with AIU, and this was the best weekend we could see each other before she leaves. We went all over. She came with a game plan. We went to the Art...
I have a damn tumblr
it’s 11:15pm. I haven’t done anything today. well, I took two showers. our heat is broken so I found a different way to stay warm. I should have been memorizing the jimmy johns menu over the last week… but I haven’t… and didn’t… and I work tomorrow at 11. I also didn’t do my laundry. And now I’m sitting here listening to paul baribeau tell me...
