how it's cool not to be cool:
just about any movie can make me cry. liv tyler. in an unnamed action film with bruce willis and billy bob. i am appropriately ashamed of myself, which is less than you think. i cry at everything because i'm a total ninny. so there.

where i've been this past month:
depressed, working, cleaning, depressed, walking, sleeping late, pining over everything, not cleaning, chain-smoking, crying, watching bad tv, san jose, hanging out with andy, eating like a fat girl, less depressed, portland, moping, drinking coffee, listening to sad music, eating, feeling sorry for myself, shopping for a new phone, smoking again.

why i'm happier this week:
i have things to look forward to now. veronica is coming to visit us in seattle sometime in june with travis. it'll give them a chance to get away from the texas heat for a few days and dork out with us doing goofy shit. eee! rhiannon is almost done with her last class. kris is almost done with her last class. soon they'll both have fancy new degrees and you can deliver many happy congratulations unto them.

when i'm going on vacation:
my time off at work got approved and i'm going to meet holly in north carolina later this month! we're going to have a triple girly slumber party at mary's house and run around all weekend in pajamas! it'll be a bonanza of looking for real estate for the east coast posse duo! mary can cook like nobody's bid-ness! we'll be bringing presents for each other! shiny shiny freaky freaky girly madeness!!! oh, but how i do do do feel sorry for tim about this upcoming invasion.

what else is going on:
that just about brings us up to date for now. really it's been pretty much the normal grind, unless you count the odd bits of ultra-super-existential angst. (thank you for listening to me whine; you know if you're one of the people who had to put up with it on the phone.) the only eventful thing at work lately was meeting a buddhist monk who was just about the most adorably cute thing i've ever seen. he was better than a midget! i suppose he stopped in as a serendipitous reminder to me that i should just chill out and stop being such a bummer all the time. besides, i wouldn't want to become too predictable. that would spoil all the fun for you. and me. and you. and you. and you!

i heart exclamation points today!


lastly...
who is the bestest boyfriend in the world:
derek is - and he's mine all mine. that's right. i said it. somehow i'm the winner and nabbed the perfect man for me. yes, i'm gushing here. he rates tops on the EEE scale of happiness. wanna know why? huh? do ya? huh? he got me a sweet ass soo-prize. i got it in the mail this week. it's the super coolest freaking thing ever. should i tell you now? are you ready? really? sitting down?

TWO VIP TICKETS TO SEE THE POLICE!!! EEEEE!!!
