the pink triangle
it HAS been a while, hasn't it.
mi disculpa for staying away for oh so very long. i had a big (and fun) weekend, followed shortly thereafter by a major case of the "oh-my-gosh-i-have-so-much-to-do-before-july-21st-and-i-am-subsequently-unemployed"sss on monday.... so i have been pretty much outta touch with any and everything for a while.
first is worst, second is best... soooo....
* * *
FIRST is the WORST:
i have a lot on my plate right now, which is fine. and this all hit me two days ago, which is also fine. this is a short list (without details):
1) ENORMOUS "To-Do" lists for both Americorps and Peer Court jobs
2) two huge medical bills were for some reason not covered, so figuring out what went wrong requires me to call various message machines to locate a magical request form for a request form for a request form. seriously.
3) i am trying to postpone loan payback, which requires a similar process as above.
4) my subsequent phone bill is gargantuan
5) i have to find an "immediate" job starting end of july (e.g. restaurant, cafe) because i would really really really like to pay for rent in august and september
6) i have/want to find a "real" job starting as soon after that as i can
7) 6) requires me to save money to buy a computer
8) grad school research for next year. oh how this doesn't look very realistic.
though it would be sooooo much easier to move back to san antonio after this (like, soooooo), i really want to stay here longer. i will achieve this goal, so help me blank-blank. but july is going to be rough, fo sho.
* * *
SECOND is the BEST:
last weekend was awwwwwwwesome. during the day on saturday, my housemates and i took a field trip to a suuuuuper sweeeeeet asian grocery store in another neighborhood. i felt like i was in korea or some mess for about an hour. i walked outta that place totally freaked out, with freshly-brains-smashed-in-front-of-my-face catfish in one bag and lychees in another. wiiiierd and awesome.
last weekend was "gay pride" festival, so saturday night... my two gay housemates, one straight and i went out to celebrate and i haven't danced my behind off like that in many a decade. about 15 blocks were barracaded for a night-long dance-festorama. also wierd and awwwwwesome.
sunday i sat on my roof all day. i drank beer. i read books. i chatted with housemates. really, not sure if life is better than that.
sunday night: danced behind off again, this time to bluegrass/johnnycashesqe musica at the bar thats nearest and dearest to my heart. and the boys there were all awesome because they dressed in 20s/30s garb and POLITE. (these two factors are apparently two of the many required keys to my heart. oh! and that you're male).
which leads me to....
* * *
i suppose the wierdest part of the weekend was that one of my friend-girls here told me that she was, and i quote, "falling for me." *stares at the computer screen* how did i handle this? oh i just pretended that i didnt hear her, and continued chatting about something else. i turn the straight girls around apparently. (it wasn't stacey. praise be).
* * *
i'll try to be better about all this updating mess... these long ones are, well, just too long for the both of us.
oh! my friend reena from grad school at ut as well as india/arizona/hawaii/boston is coming on saturday night!!!! yeeeeees. i havent seen her in a year and a half and i heart her. she is secretly escaping her 9 month ph.d. research stint in india for a month-long u.s. vacation and san francisco is (fortunately for me) one of her stopping points. so yes reena on saturday yes.
* * *
I MISS YOU GUYS A LOT. like, a freaking lot. i hope all is well out there...
