Hump Day Boringness

i've been talking to myself quite a lot these past few days. maybe i'm bored and lacking human interaction. or maybe my head has just been on overdrive because there's so many things i can't tell people. i don't want them to think i'm being weird so i keep things to myself. and i don't think anyone cares enough about my hopes and fears, so what's the point, right? there isn't.

so here are a few things i thought of today, (in order of occurrence):

  • i want some beef jerky. i'm going to costco after work and use my $3.50-off coupon.
  • Fog. why is it so foggy? it's mid-march and it's almost 7:30 and i want some sunshine.
  • Commuting. it doesn't feel so bad anymore. i could do this for the rest of my life. maybe i don't/won't even need to move out of my parents' house. i could use all that money to travel and see the rest of the world. maybe even go on a sabbatical (does this term apply to all kinds of profession or just teaching? but i'd really love to do this).
  • if i decide to go Home-Home for my next birthday, it'll be super cheap. i checked prices last night, i would only have to pay less than a grand. but i think it'll still be a lot cooler if i wait until the 10th year anniversary of my exile. so should i just pay the extra money and go later? sometimes i feel like money isn't really an issue. i mean, it's important, but a lot of times you actually forget about how you spend your money. you just have to get over that bump where you sort of feel guilty about buying a twenty-dollar meal and then spending more than a hundred dollars on two dresses. but in the end, you forget how you spent that $120+, like you never had that money to begin with. so no, don't go home-home for birthday. maybe i'll have a sober birthday this year. the first sober birthday of my twenties. (this really isn't saying much)
  • i'm so over Stanton and their stinky SSMP. good god...when will this be over?
  • i should probably place an order for some green tea at work. i've been chugging on generic lipton tea bags for the past few weeks. and even black tea (all 5+ varieties) isn't really making me happy.
  • wow. you remind of my roommate freshman year. (*talking to some coworkers in the kitchen*)
  • when will i get back my Norwalk stuff so i can move on?
  • Brea, you are making me hate you. shapefile this, shapefile that. is the scale big enough? what color background should i use? i don't want to use pink and look like a girl. okay, i'll do green.
  • omg...why are you not following this blog?
  • i don't like forming tight relationships with people. and i'm not only talking about romantic relationships. i like to use this term inclusively: friendships, etc. i guess it's because i've always been afraid to feel too close to people that when they decide to leave me, i'll be broken and can never move on. the longer i stay in contact with people, the more i feel closer to them. so i go on periods of alone-time (some periods are short, some are longer, etc.). because i think, forming relationships is like snowboarding. the longer you do it (like, if you do it all season, from when they start making snow until all that snow melts in the spring), the more it hurts towards the end. (falling on your face in december is definitely less painful than falling on your ass in march). so, with relationships, the longer you stay, the harder it is to let go and recover when they decide to leave you.
  • traffic isn't so bad, really. if i lived close to work, i'd have all this extra time. but i don't really need this much time to chill at home. it's not like i do other things after work.
  • i'm going to title tonight's blog, wednesday boringness. wait...hump day boringness.
  • beef jerky, here i come! then i have to gas up at costco. then go to the dry cleaners.
  • yay for beef jerky! should i also buy cheese? and a book? no. focus on the jerky, dammit.
  • what?! gas is $1.94/gallon?! sweetness!
  • okay, don't forget to go to the dry cleaners.
  • coming home to an empty is kind of sad. lonely. but i could totally live like this.
  • i'm growing zits on my face.

  1. yum... beef jerkey. I think one of the FOBs in my building is making some kind of jerkey by hanging meat off of their 3rd floor balcony. Everytime I walk under it I want to climb up the wall and eat it.
