The Daily Grind

I worked a double shift today. Proctoring is the easiest job ever! I sat in two rooms and read, partly scholastic reading and part of the 4th Twilight book. I went grocery shopping on the way home and made myself a delicious and nutritious dinner. Now I am beat. I know it's cinqo de mayo, but who really cares? Everyone is going out and getting shitty, but its rainy, I'm tired and it feels like any old rainy day.

Twilight...with Cheeseburgers

Thai Tai For Good Eatin.

Today my dad, stepmom and step sis came into Brooklyn to visit. It made me really happy that they finally made it out, but sad that we didn't get to go up to Columbia because of stinky rush hour traffic. I took them into Williamsburg and we got yummy Thai food (my second day in a row at the same place). I think I may be slightly obsessed with coconut and curry induced foods. My dad and I looked at some books on the streets. I really like talking books with my dad. He was always reading when I was growing up, I guess this had a really big impact on me because now I pretty much read for a living. He made me the Twilight Soundtrack and some 8x10's of the movie too. Supercool!

After I got home from a delicious lunch, Jason and I decided to go to Target to pick up some sticks of wood for the apt. It was a silly trek on the subway into the city and back out to BK to get there and they didn't even have what I wanted. However, I did get an awesome new hooded flannel and a corduroy vest. I saw a trashy mag with the beloved lead of my obsession, Twilight, on the cover, so I had to have it. Turns out he is only 22 (his birthday is May 13, which makes him a Taurus) and is a total party animal. I am hoping I will run into him at some trendy NYC bar and we'll hit it off and maybe later on I will coax him into biting my neck, just for kicks. A girl can dream, cant she? OOH also, turns out he has a thing for taken girls. He had a major crush on his costar (Kristen Stewart) during the making of the film, who was dating someone else. Also, he was found macking it with Camilla Belle, who is none other than Joe Jonas's GF! I have a crush on Joe Jonas as well. Sooo basically, I wish I was Camilla Belle or Bella Swan...or something.

After a time consuming and excruciatingly tiring trip to Target, Jason and I were in silly giggly mode and decided to take naps. The rest of the evenings plans include going to Carrie's and watching movies on the couch. I live a tough life I know.

I have been looking into some non-profit organizations that I can maybe get a part time job working for. I figure that may be my best outlet because I will feel like I am actually making a difference to people who matter. I can't stick with a job normally because I find retailing salesperson positions to be too superficial and materialistic, waitressing too tiring and drug induced, and desk jobs too tedious and boring. I definitely don't want to be canvassing out on the streets, though. I would like to do something for the environment or help organize events for human rights or help the general public acknowledge their harmful habits to humankind, the earth or themselves that can be alleviated through a change of their course of daily activities.

Christmas of the Future.

All in all, I had a great christmas. This morning I woke up a bit sad because the whole cozy morning christmas celebration didn't really happen, but its OK because I got to play that part on christmas eve.

I am overtly obsessed with Twilight, as you've probably read. The book just started veering off in a different direction from the movie and I am excited to see where else the plot line will go.

After a lovely christmas celebration at my dad's I went to carries and ate some red velvet cake. After that, we went to visit some horses to put blankets on them. This one horse Gypsy kept licking me. It was really cute. Carrie kept trying to drag me to hang out with people after that, but I am exhausted and decided it would be a better idea to come home, read and play with my new computer. You can't blame me right?

It was REALLY great to see Ashley and Leah today. I don't get to see Ash that often now that she lives in Cali and I feel like we were just starting to seriously bond when she was living in BK and I was visiting people in BK a lot. I really hope she comes out one night this week and sees my hood. Leah has the most adorable face in the entire world. She's a little giggly, smiley, adorable little baby who smiles with her entire face. I wish I had a pic. Echem Dad, help me out with that?

Also, I was told I have to mention Christmas presents from next year. Presents from the future, if you will, that don't fall down the balcony. Oh dear. I drank a lot today. We be bottle poppin.

Merry Macbook!

I am posting this from my very own, new MACBOOK! I LOVE it.
WOOHOO.


There's one more thing that will officially make my Christmas more merry. It won't actually be determined until after Christmas, however. The subtenant I am leasing my old Harlem apt to was having trouble with the frozen lock, and called the landlord. She had no idea and someone in the building said that its been happening a lot lately. I had no problem with the door. I think maybe this guy is just an idiot. I just really hope this deal goes through, because I will be out of some hefty chunk of change if it doesn't and I will have to search for a new tenant.

Ok, so I have become really obsessed with Twilight. I saw the movie and then immediately after I had to go get the book. The acting in the movie was terrible but the story was intense and amazing. I want to be Bella Swan. Edward Cullen is a Fox. I am really happy there are 4 parts to the story. That means there should be more movies. YAY.

I must go shower. I think I may go to the movies again today to see it again. mmmm.
