my birthday is less than a month away

i'm apprehensive. new city, mostly only nick's friends.

fuck it, i'm making a wishlist. i never get any of it anyway, and we're probably too broke from the move for me to actually treat myself, so i'll just settle for e-window shopping and dreaming.

mac cosmetics
gift cards to clothing stores
sims 3
a new purse
gift card to ikea
new books (www.goodreads.com/contrary to-read shelf, or whatever someone would suggest)
a dog
a picnic set
art supplies (an easel, charcoals, papers, fixative spray, etc)
a good quality portfolio
some shoes
a fucking couch & some chairs

week late chronicles of moving to baltimore

too much driving, too little sleep.
lunch with alena & her husband, snack with shani with orange body builders and soccer moms.
subway at some random hick town in pa with trashy tattooed employees that wanted to be our friends.
muffler started falling off.
couldn't return uhaul trailer, because it was a sunday.
couldn't find parking because of uhaul trailer.
couldn't fit bed up the spiral staircase, til we folded the mattress in half.
locked keys in the car, while running, while double-parked, with uhaul trailer.
dumped uhaul at the nearest retailer with an open parking lot we could find.
broke my pinky toe on the goddamn spiral staircase.
can't unpack 70% of our shit til we can go buy bedroom & livingroom furniture, and shelving for the bathroom.
can't buy furniture until someone hires me.
only place that has interviewed me, that i really liked, gave me a "working interview" and i don't even know what the hell that was. i basically followed around their employees all night & crossed my fingers that i didn't get a parking ticket. as far as i know, i'm just waiting on the manager to check references, and she hasn't done that yet, according to the references i've asked.

i'm tired all of the time. i'm not happy, yet. currently living for the weekends, because the weekend was the only good time thus far. i want a job, just to have something to do & some kind of purpose in my life.

baby steps.

annoyed

out of my mind.

waiting all day, can't do much more. trying to get rid of shit. can't pack shit with nothing to pack in. can't get rid of shit without someone taking it.

can't get much else right. can't talk to anyone.

can't wait for this to just be done.

Shaun Nel is my favorite.





he was the only person i would allow to do my "goodbye kansas" tattoo. it wouldn't mean as much to me if anyone other than papa shaun did it. and no one else could have done it quite so well.

i fucking love it. i'm going to miss him.

ONE WEEK TIL I MOVE!
