Scott claims to not know who westerberg is. surely it’s a joke.

i haven’t slept more than four hours in a row in two weeks.
i bought a bottle of wine, but i didn’t drink it. mostly because my tummy hurts and partly because i had to do a bunch of work when i got home.

the onslaught of my menses and my continuing heart break over the outlaw (you know, i’m just a rip the bandaid off all at once kind of person, i rather have brief, instant, big pain than little bits of maybe pain and uncertainess) and my spring fever and my restlessness about my current state of [...]

i called sister #2 on my way back from the hair cutter:
“hi,” i said.
“hi,” she said.
“guess what?”
“what?”
“you know that thing they’re building on the corner of 42 and 13?”

yesterday, a minor miracle or perhaps it was a natural disaster occured in my bathroom. right before my very eyes as i was running the mystery spooj through my hair, my hair went from ok to entirely too long and doofy for words.

i feel so accomplished.

now i remember why i never clean. you never know what you will unearth. in an innocent looking basket i found a piece of paper that pierced my heart and instantly brought tears to my eyes. it was a card from my birthday. he signed it love.
i should have known better than to come [...]

because of something christopher wrote, i decided to get rid of some baggage. old crap i haven’t looked at in years. stuff that i really, really don’t need– stuff i’m not even sure why i kept. included in the great purge is a gob of old college papers including:
