| i feel misplaced |
[6•29 14:08] |
|
i dont have a PERMANENT residence.
only one of seven books i wanted was available for purchase at b&n.
i love summer rain.
brooklyn
tomorrow.
|
|
| i like |
[6•27 17:19] |
|
urban decay
colored pens
tissues
hot rain
gold shoes
small pieces of paper
what people draw when theyre on the phone
the sound of traffic outside my window
boarded up windows
beach sand
being cold inside, hot outside
checkered tiles

| a letter to the packing tape purchased at dollar dreams: |
[8•15 3:26] |
dear dollar store packing tape,
i know you are not a name brand tape,
but please,
try a little harder.
if you cannot keep the subway map on my door up
how are you to keep a package closed?
maybe you should consider a life style change.
something along the lines of 'really wide clear tape of medium tackiness' may suit you better.
my regards,
aleks
a letter to the unusually loud squeaky floor board near the office:
dear squeaky floor board,
i resent how loudly you announce my presence!
in the thick of the nite, while tip-toeing, one does not often want to be heard.
ransom notes are items whose posters wish to remain anonymous.
i do not understand why you suck so much.
shut up and die.
sincerely,
aleks
my new room kicks ass
i love the way it is so clean
tomorrow i will hang my bed canopy
and acquire the items that i need to stencil my wall
i found a hott wallpaper pattern that i want to blow up and use as a stencil
maybe i will also buy an area rug
my leg is dreadfully asleep
i am not sitting on it
the human body is a wondrous thing
i bought the nostalia edition of scrabble
i may have gotten ripped off
but
it is kind of cool
the decemberists are having a show on sep.27
i will talk cecilia into going with me
does anyone else get hit on through friendster by older ugly guys?
elaine, todd and james are going to ucb tomorrow
i instead have duty
although my tv is arriving
so i am saved
maybe we will watch zoolander and play scrabble
or did you think that i didnt know what a eugoogly is?

[7•14 9:35] |
while driving back from lunch the van in front of me sportted this trendy vanity plate
sadly they havent purchased a jesus fish yet
( i apologize for what is behind the cut )
ive become incapable of writing real journal entries
[due to all the excitement in my life]
so here is a list of some things i have done recently,
in no specific order.
• lost my mascara
• read a book
• have repeatedly said the words 'snag-less boot'
• ate a granola bar
• went to virginia
• bought a punisher headband
• ate pirogies
• skanked
• made "clay" out of flour and water
• drank 'bubble tea' for the first time
• wore my punisher headband for two days in a row
• killed a squirrel
• made a website dedicated to christopher walken
• got drunk
some of these may or may not be true.

| its hard work to have nice teeth |
[7•7 11:09] |
last nite i used crest white strips
and my retainer
[which i havent used in a good 4 months]
it actually hurts to breathe
not to mention eat or drink
although soon
i wil brave the pain to drink a cup of dunkin donuts coffee
thus far i have spent all day working on a package for cecilia
adorned with cowboys and yellow paper
it is hot
i love giving presents
my dad on the other hand is fedexing cat food to his friend in ny.
organic cat food, i must mention.
why are old people so crazy?
am i going to be like that in 30 years?
man i hope not.
last nite meg, elissa and i ventured out to target.
i am convinced that the creators of that paradise have looked into my inner most soul and fashioned their fine establishment based on all of my likes.
people, they have a robot giftcard and an aisle full of rubber duck bathroom accessories!
what else could a girl want?!
one day i will find a super target and live there.
ill live on white cherry icees and cheese filled pretzels
and i wont gain weight because i will be on the run,
constantly avoiding store employees and security cameras.
dont doubt me,
it will happen.
look
now i have to pee.
|
|
| nectarines are delimatocious |
[7•6 13:47] |
esp when they are from twin girls organic farms
the best is that lil bits get stuck between your teeth
so you can savor some after the initial fruit is gone
yum!
the weekend was great
went to the beach saturday and sunday
then spent the day at the pool on monday
i am now a few degrees tanner
and also closer to the skin cancer
which
my trip to the carribean will also help with
am going with sue and her mom
for a week
i am soooooo excited
although this does mean dieting for the next month
and exercising
but only good can come of that
[must look stunning in new bathing suit]
my office has hired a new office manager/executive assistant
so now i have even less work to do
today my duties include:
• pick out birthday card and cake for co-worker
• get everyone to sign said card
• plan birthday surprise
• show new person how to answer phones, etc
• use draino to drain kitchen sink
i asked if anyone had anything for me to do
clearly no one did
i have a feeling that i will be sending out more postcards in the near future
tomorrow we are going to see napoleon dynamite
this weekend i am going to virginia in the company of dr. wang
we are leaving the junction at 5:23 am
lets see how that goes down.
after my coffee today i got all sweaty
and my candy necklace started to melt
so i had to wash my neck.
it was awkward.
i got a gumball at the pet store.
and man, those nectarine bits are goood.

|
| i feel like an addict who started using again |
[6•28 14:04] |
today at lunch after my regular dunkin donuts visit
[thats a whole different addiction]
i went to target
and bought lip smackers
they have a new type
[starburst flavored]
and it was on sale
this is no good
i havent used lip smackers since february
damn
camping went well
read ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bitternut for more info
i am glad i went
since on my way to pick up tom i was having doubts
it was surprisingly easy to get there via car
although
the hike to the campsite was a different story
since the champs that i like to call my friends sunk the canoe
we had to hike the 4 miles with all of our stuff
not to mention the extra mile
due to screwy directions
[just make a right every time there is a fork in the trail
shit 4 rights make a square]
nonetheless
fun times were had
and the hike back was extra hard
mostly because we were tired
on our drive back home we ate the time to eat diner
which is my favorite diner thus far
also
i might take elissas advice and go on a diner tour
for the remainder of the summer
there are about 5 dinners on 22
that i know of
so i would be happy with eating at 5-8 different diners
ive already got 2 covered
[ok so well call it a mini tour]
also the decemberists are good
and as is augsten burroughs
i dont think im going to draw naked people today
|
|
| holy shit im bored |
[6•23 16:05] |
out of my fucking mind
so bored that it is necessary to curse for no reason
i had an enormous cup of coffee too
yet
my eyes wont focus
i am seriously contemplating taking a nap under my desk
like george costanza.
i understand his pain.
damn new jersey for being so clean.
ive had these shoes for two weeks and they are almost pristine.
i am practically embarrassed to wear them.
chucks loose all appeal when they arent falling apart.
maybe camping with scuff them up
planning on running through some puddles.
i am going camping this weekend by the way,
after much deliberation tom convinced me.
he is also driving down with me on saturday,
he gets a check plus for awesomeness.
found some books of stock photography in the office today.
will use copyrighted images to make postcards.
contrary to the beliefs of co-workers,
i will not get arrested.
elaine gave me her copy of dry. to read
thus far its good
but this is the third book in a row that i am reading about addiction.
they are all very good.
coincidence?
maybe.
or is it just that all brilliant people brilliant because they are stoned out of their minds?
|
|
| i feel that the term lame-o should be coined by everyone |
[6•21 15:52] |
i guess you can say that it is my term for the summer.
and thus begins another enlightening journal entry by aleks.
this weekend was cool.
the camping party didnt happen
[sues lawn was sprayed with pesticides making it unsafe for romping and sleeping on]
but we swam and played board games instead.
saturday i spent 3 hours sleeping outside at the pool
then checked out the sales at marketfair
[anthropologie, vs, lens crafters.]
went to see dodgeball last nite.
i believe everyone that i went to school with was there
plus some people on top of that
making for a generally awkward situation all around.
the movie was funny
mostly because it involved a pirate named steve.
although
i was disappointed that ben stiller played the same exact character as he did in heavyweights,
it was none the less enjoyable
i made a dandy robot tote.
and am slowly becoming obsessed with them,
robots that is.
i mean
they are really cool.
wouldnt you love to have the short circuit robot at your side all the time?
only a crazy wouldnt.
yes, im calling you a crazy.
the weather is brilliant today!
i just want to roll around on the grass
and have a picnic.
like at school when we would order bergen and eat it on the knoll.
the knoll which may or may not be a trash heap overgrown by grass.
while friendstering today i found that kenna has a friendster account
i added him and am excited to see if he will be my friend[ster]
also i want to date him.
also i need a real friend/man to date.
recently i found that although delicious, pears are incredibly challenging to eat.
because they are so juicy one must perch themselves in a seat so that the pear is elevated above the ground and away from ones feet, so that pear the juice doesnt trickle all over arms, lap, and shoes [or lack there of.]
life is hard sometimes.
today
i found envelopes in the office that could help me with the plastic baby mailing project.
be forewarned.
if i dont have your address yet, give it here or you will be lacking a plastic baby.
|
|
| tonite were camping in sues backyard |
[6•18 10:45] |
hopefully it will not rain.
i feel like a little kid,
but rain ruins all the fun.
i spent a good 2 hours in the tub last nite
[thank you mr. thunderstorm]
when i got out i was so pruney that it hurt and my hands were purple.
the book was worth it though.
i had a dream about a killer dog,
listened to a song about dreaming of horses.
i forget that i have make-up on and i rub my eyes
then i look like the hamburgler.
i get a postcard in the mail almost everyday.
it makes me very happy.
i send some everyday too.
its nice to know people are thinking of you.
learned that pappy will be my r.d.
awesome.
edna is coming back next weekend.
im supposed to go camping
but i dont know if i want to.
im only really friendly [recently] with steph.
it might be very awkward
but maybe it will force to me confront people
and fix things.
i just dont want to cause drama and tension
i hate drama and tension.
the-n is airing reruns of my so called life
i feel that this is the savior of my summer
i wish i didnt have to work but still got paid
went to new hope and everything smelled like patchouli
they turned the last remaning biker bar into a fancy restaurant
they closed the pipe store
its becoming a yuppie haven
like market fair
i miss new york city and brooklyn
|
|
| i said mocha |
[6•7 15:22] |
but this is clearly not.
i would kill for chocolate.
also, whats the deal with no soy at the pqm bucks county coffee?
youre in a freakin supermarket!
just run to the milk aisle and get some.
shit, ill do it if it will prevent my vomiting.
also, i think ive become a pompous coffee drinker.
just ordered some birthday cake for my dad.
mmm, german chocolate.
i have no idea what to get him,
the concert he wants to go to is sold out.
maybe a dvd?
or maybe ill just take him out to dinner.
my dad is hard to please, but he loves food.
i think i am going to do some figure drawing tonite,
its about time.
also am ordering business cards online.
cant decide on a badly pre-designed scheme.
am torn between picking out the most tasteful one,
or just getting the ugliest, cheesiest one i can find.
life is hard.
i need advice.
so there is officially nothing to do at home.
here are your options:
1. movie
2. food
3. leave and go someplace cooler [i.e. new hope, beach, nyc, philly, etc]
4. hang around at someones house, eat, watch movies, and play board games.
• note: a combination of two or more will yield maximum enjoyment
that is by far the most pathetic list i have ever made.
so this woman at work got poison oak all over her body
it looks painful
she is constantly itching
on top of thad she is pregnant
excellent
so
because i am so skilled at contracting fun outdoor diseases
[think lyme disease fiasco]
and because i care,
ive done some research
for everyones benefit.
you can tell i have ample free time at work.
today while perusing friday's princeton packet
i read that they are planning on tearing down lick it.
noooooooooooo!!!
i am appalled.
will definitely try to get to lick it today
before it is gone for good.
[although hopefully it wont close.]
that place is really the only cool thing in west windsor.
they always put a little non-peril on top of your cone.
and if thats not enough,
where else can you get drive-thru ice cream??
yea, thats what i thought.
nowhere,
suckah.
i think there will be a save lick it tshirt making party.
and by party i mean
i am making myself a shirt
and people can help if they want one.
i only have 1 hour left
sweet
the time for onion reading has arrived.
|
|
| tomorrow is a day |
[5•30 20:40] |
this was hard
i love susanne with all my heart
cannot imagine what she is feeling
it is hard not to think about it
it makes me tear just to think about it
think[hope] she is coping though
last nite james, tom and i played board games
until 2 in the morning
sober
yes its possible
tom kicked our asses at both monopoly and the 1987 genius edition of trivial pursuit
zoolander was on during
that movie gets better every time
i found $320 in graduation money while cleaning
i deposited it but it still hasnt gone through
so the gas station attendee had break it to me
'you have no credit!'
thanks
theres was need for him to yell this
we are going to see super size me
i want to go to the beach and be active
i am a lard ball
if it is not raining when i awake tomorrow
im going
no matter what
memorial day = beach
[yes, word equations make life more fun]
maybe camping next weekend
sweet
although
i still haven't seen a bunch of people
people who i should see on a daily basis
i feel that i am being avoided
[but i am paranoid, right?]
i think i will go to target soon
then to the fairest of markets
|
|
| i found this mug |
[5•26 16:02] |
it says: great tasting design
i love it and might steal it
maybe right before i am replaced by a person who will actually do this job
a real person with a resume and a mortgage and car payments
today my boss went to a meeting
i was [and still am] left practically alone
i made coffee and plugged my ipod in
have been putzing around almost all day
and am getting paid $10/hr for it
sweet
also the coffee i made is superb
[is coffee mate vegan?]
im going to try to get a job at small world coffee
so i can get my fill of good coffee, for free
or even better
date a boy from there
this would be the optimal solution
i should get working on that
because i am missing male attention like no other
i am looking forward to memorial day weekend
there is a possibility of a beach trip
and that is great
because if there is a place that i love as much as the city its the beach
have been trying to reach res life at pratt for days now
i need to know if i can take a day or two off
[from ra training]
to attend lollapalooza
it would make make life
or at least summer
also
after re-reading this entry
it strikes me how narcissistic it is
but arent all live journals?
or am i too narcissistic to notice that they arent and its just me?
this is what happens when left with nothing to do
i get paid for thinking about this shiat
btw: i have yet to get any postcards
hint hint
here is a funny anecdote:
behind me [the reception desk] is a small bathroom
toilet and sink
its scooby-doo themed
an intern painted it
whenever anyone pees,
i can hear them
also
there is a "no doodie in the bathroom" rule
so
if you would like to do #2
you have to go upstairs
to the public bathroom
if you ever have to go
everyone in the office knows about it
since there is nothing else up there
that you could possibly be going for
this is mildly embarrassing
today i broke the rule
this makes me think
is the scooby-doo thing a joke?
doo, doodie
hmmmm
|
|
| look at me! |
[5•25 13:11] |
i have a car that works!
and
not only does it work
it doesn't shake or vibrate
AND
it accelerates at a rather normal rate
this is superb!
i cannot wait to get my paycheck
so i can go out in my newly working car
tonite ill probably stay in and address postcards
[sly aleks weaseled her dad into buying her stamps,
she is one of my favorite aleks']
|
|
| the whole weekend |
[5•23 18:21] |
was spent cleaning and unpacking
positive outcome:
trip to ikea to buy me new furniture
must accommodate ginormous new tv
[acquired from living room]
came back with this shnazzy new cabinet
excellent!
now comes the time to put it together
should be interesting
by interesting i mean hellish
will reward myself and family with t.g.i.friday's pina colada mix
[wish i could do the little ~ squiggle over the n,
sadly i am not fortunate enough to know how to do it]
also deerhoof rocks
and i am sweaty
maybe its time for the conditioning of the air?
