this turd won’t flush
I wake up this morning and have to use the bathroom and I open the toilet seat and there’s this big turd, apparently has been there for a while, just chilling in the toilet bowl.
I just can’t use the bathroom when there are remants of somebody’s else’s food in there, i just have a thing against it.
So I flushed it, so I could pee, and brushed my teeth in the process. After brushing my teeth, I open the bowl and lo and behold, it’s still fucking there!
Okay, fine, maybe i didn’t flush it hard enough [?] So I flush it AGAIN, go and get some food, come back and IT’S STILL FUCKING THERE! Jesus fucking christ. I gave up, and i had to go pee, so i went pee upstairs. However, now it’s lingering in my mind that there is a turd that just REFUSES to flush downstairs.
So I got this new stereo system that I was super excited to set up after my jiu jitsu class..and while I was driving home, steve calls me and says “the posse is going out. come get me” and I said “Okay.”
Now he thinks I’m his bitch. yeah right sucka, you’re my bitch….bitch.
We went to the burren over in Davis Square and lo and behold, while we were waiting for more people to arrive, cute boy comes in with like 3 or 4 girls. WHAAAT?!
Well, I shouldn’t saying that shit, since I was sitting with 3 guys. A match made in heaven? heh heh heh. Anyway, he came to hang with us and it was nice to see work people out of work. We dubbed it Super Friday because it was really thursday. Dear lord, this was a very boring paragraph. I should erase it but that would entail me backspacing a lot and i don’t want to do that.
I have a fucking 4 day weekend, man, what is that about? What am I going to do?
Okay, I need to take a shower, but that turd that just won’t flush is haunting me. bastardo.
i swear to god…
This just has to be one of the longest days at work. I’m practically dying.
I don’t know what to tell you, dear reader of live journal, other than I GOT A NEW SPEAKER SYSTEM! Whoo-hooooooo. I bought Drumline to commemorate the occasion.
I was talking to a guy who I sorta like today and it was pretty nerve-wracking. What do I say? How do I come off as clever? and more importantly, why am I nervous?
Why do I talk about boys so much? Because it gives me something to do. What would you rather hear? How about, um…I got my period at a wedding. Yeah, didn’t think so.
I caught the bouquet at the wedding. GREAT. I think what was more funner [funner!] was that a cute kid put the garter on me. The groom, who is the kid’s cousin, was saying “James was really excited to put the garter because “she’s so cute!”” Awww…i love ego boosts such as being compared to a bunny rabbit.
I don’t know what else to tell you other than, hm…don’t you think it sucks when a friend of yours has a new significant other and they just ignore you? Yeah, that really sucks. I’m going to go watch a movie goddamnit.
I love saying that.
God fucking damnit.
good things come to those who wait
Dear diary,
The next couple of weeks are going to be pretty awesome I think.
To Jeff and Steve: If you guys keep making fun of me and this diary, why do you read it so much. Bastards.
I’m working on a project with one of the boys here. It’s going to be great AND I’ll get to be at his place for extensive amounts of time…so roommates, don’t expect me to be home much…bwahahahaha.
I told my roommate Philip about my project [we’re dropping a new product in the next coming weeks here, so I need to overhaul some mad overtime] and I told him who I was working with and he said “Dude, I need to buy you a box of condoms”…am I mixing work with pleasure? Is that “bad”?
Philip has also made a declaration: “My personal goal is to get your laid by August 31. And by god, if you don’t get laid, i’ll just have to do it myself.”
Needless to say, I love Philip. He indicated to me last night that I was the one he got along with the most.
Man, I rock.
In other news, I just came back from a wedding in california and got my nails done. These nails are going to be the end of me goddamnit! The END OF ME. I can’t open soda cans and have to be sort of weak and ask my coworkers or Philip to open them for me. Godfucking damnit. I need to get these thingys off.
oh cute guy is a-calling. I’ll be home late tonight guys.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Protected: the sister
yeah, that needy friend?
the one i’ve been talking about in my previous entries? Yeah, she’s going to be in the wedding in california that i’m going to.
FUCK.
I’ve only had one needy friend in my life, the one i’ve been referencing in the previous entries and when i moved out here, she said she had been thinking to moving to boston as well.
FUCK.
man, will you leave me alone?
the thing with her, we’ll call her, um, Bobohead. the thing with Bobohead, is that she’ll want to be your best friend and she’ll shower you with attention and say you’re her best friend and take you out and treat you well…..and you think, “wow, this is normal, this is nice.” and then BAM! she’ll fucking need you at all times and you barely have time to breathe.
have you had a friend call you 18 times a day? I have.
have you had a friend you talks about herself all the time and then when you say anything, she disregards its importance and/or ignores that you actually have a life outside of her.
There’s a joke between me and another friend who has felt this girl’s wrath. We call ourselves POWs and how we survived. oh, the joke. The joke is that she had fucked me up so badly that i had to move across to country in order to not feel the sting nor feel suffocated.
she also has this thing where she wants to be my best friend but she’s constantly competing me to one-up me…and she’s constantly trying to go after the guys I’m going after. I mean, who does that?! I got into NYU, she JUST got into USC. She was telling a friend of mine “Hey, Does sharon know I got into USC?” i.e. “Make sure Sharon knows I got into a school and now i’m better than her.” or whatever. I’m sorry people, this psychosis goes deeper than you can imagine. I had to deal with this person for nearly 6 years. that a lot of years.
and don’t get me wrong, it took a long time to finally to say “Fuck it. you are unhealthy for me and you need to deal with yourself” and let them go…but i had to save myself.
and you know what? best thing i ever did. now i have friends who are pretty awesome.
example:
GOOD: when i was over with my interview and/or I have something important coming up, my roommate/friend Lisa called me from her boyfriend’s place to ask me how the interview went or she’ll email me to ask me how i’m feeling about a situation. She is genuinely interested in what is going on.
BAD: when i had an interview, bobohead called me to see how the interview went for like 2 seconds and then bitched to me for 45 minutes about how a guy looked in her direction in the dark, during a movie, so hence, he must be in love with her.
GOOD: My roommate/friend John will pick me up at the airport at weird hours and ask me about my trip and i’ll ask him how everythign went when i was gone.
BAD: Bobohead has a habit of picking people up and then when they leave or she drops them off, she talks about them about their back or about how she fulfilled her “obligation” and that she should get payback.
Dude, there’s more but i will stop. i am just NOT looking forward to the one frienemy i’ve had in my life. I mean, I want that shit to be done with. but I love my friend Gina and will do anything for her, even put up with bobohead.
Dude, friendships are about give and take/ love and care/ concern and sometimes misunderstandings or frustration. Friendships are not about competition or making someone feel left out on purpose, nor making sure you are better than the other nor being at your beck and call at all hours of the day. Friendship is not turning all the friends you have left against you. AND NO MATTER WHAT, DOING THAT HURTS DUDE.
Friebdship is not having unreasonable expectations that you will ultimately fail.
I thank you, dear friends who read this, for being my friend.
and I thank bobohead for showing me what is NOT friendship and the warning signs of what a terrible friend i like. That is probably the best positive about that friendship.
I didn’t like her stealing all my friends and making them turn against me. Sorry, I said it again, but it still hurts sometimes.
and everytime i look at her, i’m reminded of that.

Protected: Who isn’t in love with me?
and i don’t love you anymore
that just happened to be the last lyric I was listening, this song called “They’ll Need a Crane.” I just burned a TMBG cd with like 45 billion songs and it’s less than an hour. Damn you TMBG!
I’m alone in the house right now on father’s day because I don’t have a father. just kidding, i do and he’s pretty cool but he’s across the country and i think we usually just eat at Hometown Buffet. I’m sure when I’m older and I say things like ‘Yeah buffy, that was a great opera’ and wearing sweaters tied around my shoulders, i’ll be able to afford to fly a jet to california and give my dad the state of the art razor to use. He’ll give me a confused look since he only has a mustache–but I’ll say “Daddy-kins, it cost me over a grand and it’s a GILLETTE-A-MATIC 8000”.
I’m thinking of watching a movie either in Lowell or Revere depending if I get a callback from a girlfriend of mine in Lowell. [ahem, samantha]. Things in MA are looking pretty cool, I’m making friends and they’re pretty stable and/or not super needy. I’ve had friends who need my attention all the time and dude, i barely pay attention to my hair, let alone to make sure that i’m there for you all the time.
i hate songs like that, “I’ll always be there for you no matter what” and all that bullshit. that’s bullshit because there is no way you can be there for a person all the time when they need you, it’s unreasonable. And I used to be a person who used to believe in that but then it got to a point that I wasn’t there for myself all the time and you need to make sure your stable before you allow anybody else’s instability to take over your life. I tell you what, I’ll be there for you when I can but I can’t promise No Matter What because that shit is ridiculous.
I’m trying hard not to get bored of Massachusetts but there are so many places to discover out there and I don’t want to be stuck. yikes. I do have an internal conflict of having a place to call “home”. I think though, home becomes the place where all the people you care about lives and I do have people I care about here, so it’s slowly turning into that.
my friend steve took me out to harvard square and we had a few beers and he gave me a tour and we talked about work stuff [which is what always happens with any coworker i hang out with] and he says “I hope you had a good time, I don’t want you leaving MA.” and I said “Who said I was leaving?” and he said “I’m just saying, since you like to move and stuff.” I think i give that impression that I like to move when the wind changes a la Mary Poppins but I’m going to stick to this place for awhile…
…because honestly, I move to run away and I need to stop doing that.
Minimal Effort
