It's so weird
Being with family that you NEVER see, and realizing how many things you have in common with them. Cousins that live far away, it’s weird noticing how I’m quiet like one, and how my laptop is my child like the other. I loveee this.
And my phone works.
I came to South Florida
Coconut Creek/Parkland to be exact, in order to get a car. My dad owns the Coconut Creek Infiniti dealership, and he was supposed to get me a car for Christmas. He showed me a Jaguar, some Volvos, and a 97 Toyota Camry with 100,000+ miles on it. I leave to Hollywood (Florida) tomorrow at eight AM.
I still don’t have a car. (Or a phone. I dropped it in the toilet, go me.)

Who likes to go through the calendar you’re about to throw away, just to remember everything I’ve done throughout the year?

– I started watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes earlier today. (it was time for Jeopardy so I had to stop), so far it was cute.
Oh, so yesterday
I went to the ER. I don’t know why, but my lower abdominal region was HURTING. It wouldn’t tone down or anything, and I had to skip work. Eventually, we pussied out and went to the ER. (We left because they wanted to charge us 390 bucks WITH INSURANCE just for checking my vitals, as well as the extra thousands and thousands for a catscan and mri) But I’m better now. And the only...

Is it weird
That I often like to open books that I started reading but haven’t finished, or even just haven’t opened in a long time, just to see what I’ve been using as a book mark? (I don’t like doing the dog-earred crap unless it’s an old old book) And when I do so, I like to take out what I’ve been using and replace it with something else. It’s really interesting...

Dorothea Brande’s twelve mental exercises. Note: she wrote these in 1936, so you need to adapt of few of them.
1. Spend an hour each day without saying anything except in answer to direct questions, in the midst of the usual group, without creating the impression that you’re sulking or ill. Be as ordinary as possible. But do not volunteer remarks or try to draw...

I’m getting my first car for Christmas! I’m psyched. Apparently, as of right now this second, I’m getting a beige-metallic (gold) Toyota Camry, and it only has 40,000 miles on it. Although I can’t stand gold cars, I’m happy :)
