If you could look like anything...anything at all....what would you look like? I'd be the wind.
...........It's easy to be someone's friend when all you need is someone to console you. It's much harder to be there for them when they're happy all the time.
.............Even when I say nothing, it's a beautiful use of negative space.

End of the story: while my boss was gone and the other guy wasn't looking, I grabbed my coat and ran the fuck down to cvs. I got back before my boss did so I think I'm in the clear until I can get my ass to a tailor tonight.

say you will
my favorite oscar moment this year? when that japanese guy won and said "domo arigato, mr. roboto" in his speech. amazing! also kate winslet telling meryl streep to suck it up. i dislike her slightly less now.
also it was a fun night. paul brought a huge bottle of smart water and we took a shot of it every time someone we predicted won. sadly, i placed 4th in my oscar pool, which is balls. i'm never going to hear the end of it, until next year when i do this again and crush everyone.

better not to know
my 54 year old movie buddy texted me tonight (which is weird enough on its own, by the way) saying "what color gown are you wearing tomorrow? I want to color coordinate." i warned him that a friend of mine from work is going to be joining us for our oscar celebration and he had to keep the over-the-top weirdness in check, but it's bound to be a fantastic night anyway. sometimes, i think my life is exactly where it should be, and there isn't a thing i'd change.

i just watched Young At Heart and cried a little throughout pretty much the whole thing. Three cheers for being a huge sap! Also, i love old people.

but a good time
i'm still thinking about wanting "don't need nothing but a good time" by poison as the first song at my wedding. how lame am i that i can't stop planning an event that's sooo damn far away?

paved in gold
so, i just got home from my friend alisa's apartment. her apartment smells super fantastic, because one of her roomates lost a bet that resulted in his having to bake a cake and bring it in every monday for four consecutive mondays. why the hell doesn't my office make more bets like that?! i want some regular baked goods! nora = super fucking jealous.

preschool
today i taught my coworkers the difference between a tint and a shade! these male nerds are going to learn a thing or two about art and culture by the time i'm through with them or my mission here has failed.

magic's not real
it finally sunk in today that i'm in the middle of buying my own property. we had our big "first three birthdays of the year" birthday party for my aunt, my cousin, and me, and 90% of my presents were things for my condo. i'm going to be living in a real place with real nice things! i can start building up stuff so my whole apartment matches and looks nice instead of crap i buy at garage sales! wait, that's a misleading statement. the nice stuff that will all match will also most likely be purchased at yard sales. but nice ones! i kind of like this adult thing.

romantic appeal
i don't think i can go through with this bible study thing. it's been freaking me out all day. phobia aside, it's just going to make me uncomfortable and i don't think i'll be able to a) contribute to whatever conversation they have or b) steer the conversation to something more general philosophy. yikes.
