Reading copious amounts of Harry Potter has also helped my vocabulary on the GRE. Those spells have come up 3 times in my studying.

I watched the Obama commercial tonight
and oh man.
It made me so emotional and hopeful
and fearful.
I couldn't control tears the entire time.

I need to come into a nice amount of money so I can fund all the adventures I could ever want to go on. I want to hike all over everywhere and take pictures of it. Soon enough- Soon meaning 2-3 years.
I'm pretty much done with TV, which is great for me. No commercials, or watching just "whatever" is on. I just watch whatever episode of the office/lost/daria/ Pushing daisies online. I don't miss it at all. I completely prefer it this way.
Starting the application process for Grad School, I'll be studying insanely the next 2 weeks preparing for the GRE. Its all very exciting the prospect I will get a masters degree. After I get my masters in education, I'm debating if I want to continue and get a masters of lib science, or something else. I guess with time I'll figure that all out.
I think the next couple months will be filled with many long walks, photos and living/Studying in coffee shops. And those are some of my favorite things. I miss tennis, I need to try to find someone to play with before the coldness sets in.
I hate Macy's so much.

| things i did this weekend that made me happy |
[24 Aug 2008|11:50pm] |
went bowling for free for two hours straight
found out my car is going to be okay
stuck my feet in the bay
lay in a field of grass with a cool breeze
breathed very clean air
ate quiche at amical
swam in my favorite lake (long lake)
stopped for delicious ice cream on a whim (while soaking wet)
was once again all rebelliouslike, by drinking growlers on a tressel
biked and biked and biked on a cool august evening until the wee hours
felt more relaxed than i have in awhile
saw my friend's film at the state theatre
was recognized in my friend's film (yay)
saw my friends
I miss TC summers
that was really fun

I like lots of the new things.
I miss lots of the old things.

[26 Jun 2008|02:37pm] |
I think watching so much Daria lately has made me increasingly sarcastic with my co-workers. Especially Eve, the million year old lady who thinks everything outloud and gives me stupid tasks that would take her two seconds to do, but instead takes me 1 second.
She pisses me off because she's an idiot at her job and completely overpaid. I wish my boss would let her go and give it to some person who really NEEDS the job. Eve's husband is a doctor professor. he makes loads. It is not fair. If she was volunteering it would be a different story...Still the economy is so bad that i just think it would be in everyone's benefit if she quit and went and volunteered somewhere.
I'm tired and wanna go home

I worked on my day off today, 8 hours even. That is super lame. On a day off, I should be outside in the cold sunshine, with my camera seeing the sights. For some reason I never really thought of Chicago as a place with sights to see. Chicago is not my first choice on places to reside, and when I first came here i didn't even like the city. I'm warming up to it, in a cold kind of way. But I desperately miss California and the 70 degree weather and the cool breeze from the ocean. I miss the hills and the greenness of it all. I know I'll get there eventually, but i seriously think about it all day long, especially when the weather hates me and gets icy and -500 degrees so my eyeballs freeze in their sockets. This city will get better...it must. Winter is so depressing, it makes me never want to leave my apartment, or do anything of importance besides reading a book or fiddling around on the computer.
Bah I shouldn't complain...I've got great friends here, my boy who loves me and a kitty who nuzzles me when i have a bad day.
Once i get a better job
and spring decides to show up
I think the whole vibe is going to change

| old cat ladies and not funny jokesters |
[10 Feb 2008|10:49pm] |
A lady named Margaret at my work is roughly in her forties. She wears a red plaid poncho and green felt hat with a red feather. She is larger with large thick glasses and wears an elastic skirt everyday over her bellybutton. She apparently knows everything and feels free to tell me how the right way to do customer service, as if I was asking her every time we bumped into each other. She calls herself the human dictionary and tries to answer everyones questions, especially if they are not asked specifically to her. She also will speak in French to you or to herself, for no apparent reason. She has worked in the same job, for probably close to 8 years and is unmarried. I assume she has more than one cat.
Stanely is a 30- something stringy, goofy moving man who never shuts up and tells neverending terrible jokes and comments. He doesn't pick up on things very easily and is slightly offensive to your clothing or actions without really meaning to be. He's unbearable to stand next to without wanting to leave on "bathroom breaks" every 2 minutes to get away. I want to machete him whenever he says...anything.
I dislike my current job
these people don't help

Started my job today at the Art Institute. For the first three or so hours we spent wandering around the place looking a some of the most famous paintings on earth. And I thought to myself...well holy fuck, I"m working in an enormous museum. Quite a change from when I was 11 and went to the Louvre and completely didnt' appreciate any of what I was seeing. I work with lots of crazy acting people, including yuppie east coasters and crazy swedes and the thought of all this and what it means ....just means the time is now.
So its time.
It's time I worked my ass off, and showed all those mother fuckers (there are only 2..and don't worry, not you) out there that I can do better than them and I will. For you, who thought I wasn't good enough, that I should be the norm that I won't amount to anything...ohhh...just you wait. Because I'll be on top of the world in so many ways and you'll be eating my sad, sorry dust. For you that lied to me and killed my soul for a long time, I will beat you to all those punches.
I may not be Ivy league educated, or be perfect looking. But that doesn't matter for those who are successful and happy. And you, you fuckers will soon find this out.

Klaus just had a kitty nightmare, it was one of the saddest sounds I've ever heard!
So this is me now...
Living in Chicago with Boots and Chapin...and Klaus
In a fabulous apartment in Lincoln Square
Landed a job at the Art Institute as a Visitor Services Assistant
Not such an adult job, but i can move up in May hopefully
just gotta pay my dues...bitches.
Doing the long distance relationship thing with Michael, which is working
Going to Trader Joes far too often and
eating lots of oatmeal and hummus.
Being cold as shit
wearing a coat that sheds feathers everywhere
looking homeless in my fingerless gloves
waiting for beautiful spring.
Missing David...or ahem. Private Guthrie
I wish he would write soon
Chicago is nice, but I completely miss california
But I must give it time.
I can't believe I've had this damn journal for 6 years
Mike visits tomorrow so
We're probably going to eat sushi and cuddle for two days straight
