Numb
I drank too much and ripped my shirt.
Matt and Kim - Yea Yeah
Imagine listening to this...
Whore
The moment I woke up this morning, I got a call from Kevin Cabardo. We had lunch. It was cute.
While I was cleaning, I got a call from Leo. He came over. I taught him how to use Powerpoint. It was cute.
Right now, I’m going to go have dinner with Adam Ally. I haven’t experienced it yet, but I’m sure it’ll be cute.

Douche Bag
I’m putting in my two week’s notice for Robek’s on my next shift.
Yesterday, I got confirmation that that job and I, we just don’t click. We just don’t mesh. It was a good run, but Robek’s and I both know that our time has expired. We’ve been pushing and pushing, hoping that if we stick it out for just a little longer, a miracle would happen and...

Traveling
Artie’s trying to push me to write. That’s really cute and all, but like I said, I’m in a state of mind where nothing’s moving, nothing’s flowing like it usually does.
I’m not longer the self-proclaimed quick-witted insult queen. I’m lazy and sleepy and I don’t like to move. Speaking of which, since Artie left, I’m quickly becoming a large,...
“Asian eyes are so small that they can only see your flaws.”
– Me Emmeline scared me out of telling my Dad about a mistake I made a little over a week ago. While consoling her on an accident that wasn’t hers, I realized that I’m too much of a pussy to own up to mine.
“Don’t you wish our Dads love us the way they did when we were innocent?”
– Emmeline Yes. Yes, I do.
Question
Why is it that when I’m sitting in my room, watching a movie, drinking water, drifting in and out of sleep, too lazy to get up and too fat to eat, I get left alone in my misery, but when I forget my phone in my car for a mere 15 minutes, I receive four missed calls and three texts?
I was frittering my life away performing useless tasks and watching sappy movies, left in solitude for all of...

Everybody's Changing
Yesterday I cut my hair length in half, today I disposed of the blue glasses I’ve been sporting for the last year.
My dad spent $233 on a pair of $280 Bvlgari frames for me. I love sales.
They’re huge, but I like to say it’s to compensate for my lack of hair.
It’s a new school year, might as well start fresh and clean. So fresh and so clean, clean.

“Cameron Diaz should be the third sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley… she looks...”
– Misa; watching The Holiday at five in the morning, in my room, on my bed, using my outlet to charge her phone, depriving me of rest.
Good Morning
It’s 5AM and the only reason I hung up the phone was because my Dad woke up to play tennis and realized I hadn’t slept yet.
Even 800 miles away, Artie still manages to make my Dad nervous.

"Just Take It All Off"
I cut approximately four years of my life off today.
My hair has not changed since early eighth grade and I’ve refused to do anything about it. Today, Chelsea and Heather Simmons let me tag along to their hairstylist/friend’s house where they persuaded me to “chop it”.
I can’t decide if I like it or not. Until I do, I’m staying indoors.
I still get a liitle...
“If you were bald you’d still be hot… you’d have that...”

“Well… you can’t have chocolate cake everyday.”

Haha
Him: So what else you got planned tonight?
Me (jokingly): Mmm, getting ridiculously stoned and having meaningless sex with a random passerby. You?
Him: Walking by after you guys blaze.

Mediocrity
On the drive home from Matt’s house to my house, I successfully freaked myself out about college.
I’ve mostly had a “come what may, at least I know where I’m applying” attitude, but I quickly came to the epiphany that I probably can’t get into the schools I want to attend.
I’m too smart to stay here and go to community college (“Which isn’t...
Story of My Life
Yesterday I sent out several messages to a myriad of people via MySpace with pictures I had taken of them. I didn’t know, but my image hosting site didn’t upload them correctly or something, so I basically sent messages saying “…” and nothing else.
So, to sum up, I made myself look like a douche a thousand times over.
“I really just called to make sure you were still alive.”
– Emmeline; apparently my fragile state leaves possibility for suicide; I love my sister-from-another-mister
Halfway
I can never finish anything.
My laundry is sitting in the living room half-folded. Various forms of chemicals are sitting in my bathroom waiting to disinfect. I tweezed one of my eyebrows today. I microwaved food and decided against consuming it. I replied to several emails but never sent them. I have clothes ready so I can take a shower but I have yet to undress. Blogs are written but not...

I’ve been staring at this ‘add a text post’ page for thirty minutes and nothing is coming out.
I might stab a pencil through my eye if this lasts past tonight.
Fucking writer’s block.

Irony
I’ve been overcome with depression. Wait, that’s too strong. I’ve just been sad lately.
I went over to Nick’s ten minutes ago to grab a flick to sleep too since I have nothing better to do and the Olympics just don’t cut it. His dad was aggravated that it was late, so I snatched a random DVD since I was, apparently, imposing. I wanted something happy and...
Two Nights Ago
So it’s just past midnight and I’m sitting on a park bench with Kevin Cabardo playing with tube tracks. It looks as if we had put a mass of plastic on the table and connected them, then proceeded to giggle like six-year-olds when we laid a marble at the top and watched it run through our creation.
Suddenly, a car drives up and parks right in front of us. This middle-aged man hobbles...

Note
Today was the perfect day to toast off a horrible week. Perfect, in that, it was equally as bad as each and every day I’ve been suffering so far.
I’m not going to get into it… I’m just going to try to sleep it off.

Beautiful, and almost creepy. Almost.
How he made this is incredible.
Mortified
I am mortified.
I was woken up this morning by my fob manager asking, “Jame (that’s not a typo, he really just stops mid-name when he calls me). You work today for me?” I gladly took the shift in my feeble attempt to get back on Robek’s good side. “Ten AM to tree PM.” Okay, John.
I rushed out of bed and dunked my head in the sink, washing my face as I was...

I reached the peak of my ‘I’ve-been-abandoned’ mood on my way home last night. I wanted to vomit, I felt so depressed. The only thing that turned my mood completely 180 was when I finally got in contact with Kevin Cabardo, the only person I’ve decided I don’t completely loathe. Just before I was about to break down in my car, my phone dinged and there it was: a...

Physical Exertion is the Solution to Mental...
Running away from your problems isn’t the answer. Running, however, is.
I got so fed up with everything today and since crying doesn’t cut it, I threw on my tattered running shoes and some headphones and off I went. Granted, I haven’t done any physical activity since Powderpuff a few months back, but I tried.
I paced myself out the neighborhood and down the street, past the...
Misanthrope
I’m fucking tired of everything.
It’s just one of those days where I feel like the world doesn’t have an excuse for being the way it is. I shouldn’t be passive and I shouldn’t just accept that everyone is a complete moron. I should throw rotten fruit at the world.
Or, they should do something about the way they are.
Suicide would be step number one.
But, alas,...

Shit’s sick. Plus, it makes me long for winter and our yearly trips to Tahoe and my board that’s collecting dust in the garage.

Jamie: hey hey hey! you cheated on me.
