good morning.

it's 12:08am, and jack just left. he's not sleeping over tonight because he wants to get used to waking up early for the semester. he definitely has more sense than i do, as i was up until 5:30am last night--really for no good reason except the overnight shift doormen are fun to hang out with at the service desk and i couldn't sleep. no need to make jackson jealous, however. it's more like a sociology project than anything else. i've asked a couple of the the guys about their lives and where they grew up and such. so many people have different experiences that i would have no way of knowing if i didn't ask. hmm.

so class starts on monday--this is a relief because i'm relatively bored and out of things to do besides smoke cigarettes, which i don't want to be doing anyway (no lectures, ladies!) when i spend too much time in my head, it gets intolerable and i can't function as well because i end up thinking that everything and everyone in life is out to get me. exactly, ridiculous. so the more time i spend doing constructive things, like going to school and learning and volunteering for different things, the better i feel.

this weekend i'm cooking breakfast with this organization called "chicago cares" for a group of seniors in lincoln park. i wanted to do something for older people because since i can't really be with my g-ma all the time, i want to help people that are in a similar position. except these people don't necessarily have the money to always cook for themselves, so i'm glad i can help, even if it's just scrambling eggs.

i'm super sleepy and my head weighs a thousand pounds.

the weather was really awesome tonight, even though i heard that it really took a toll on the chicagoland area. unfortunately, em's parents' house was affected, and many places don't have power.

i turned out all the lights in my apartment and lit candles, opened the windows, and watched the storm start. it was amazing. the sky was teal and grey, a glass of water with food coloring just added. so beautiful.

anyhoo, this is long, and i love you all. talk to you soon and good morning!

p.s. steph if you read this, where in the heck are those reeeeediciulous pictures you took? hmm? that's what i thought.

new bloggy.

hello friends and family and whoever else may choose to follow the life and times of me.

i have decided to start a new bloggy because the old one lost its appeal. at least for me, it did. i was going through a lot at the time i stopped writing and i didn't really know how to begin again without explaining everything in detail for days. so, without further ado, here i am! i'm baaaaaaccccccckkkkk. and now all you people who need more things to do on the internet can check my bloggy with the obsessiveness one would a facebook or myspace or stock quotes. heh heh.

anyway, i love you all, and of course, more coming soon. =)
