render me useless

LIVID!

So, as a "good job you graduated from college finally!" gift, my parents bought me my first car. It's nothing flashy, a 2007 ford focus, but it gets the job done and I like it quite well. Well, some time last night while my car was parked in the driveway someone must have tried to break in through the driver's side door. There is literally NOTHING in the car... not even floor protectors. Well, the pretty much mutilated my trim, and I'm just steaming... I barely had the car for 4 days!

My cute car...

So... question: What do I do about this? Who do I call to report this? Police? Insurance? Anyone else? I'm so clueless...

Things that make me happy:

Warm cous cous and extra salty pita chips.

When Betty and Henry get together in UGLY BETTY.

My favorite shirt being clean when my favorite pants are clean, too.

The way my boyfriend always smells good even when he says he stinks.

Pretty red leaves on the trees.

When iTunes shuffle mode plays exactly the right songs... like it's reading my mind.

Working in the print shop around 9PM when most non-majors aren't there, but the majors and grads are.

How I heard a christmas song accidentally being played on the radio yesterday.

My laptop.

Breakfast for dinner at Union Street Diner with my baby.

Seeing my family more often this year than any other I've been in college.

Zombie?!

Angela Lorenz is my new designer of choice. I think it may be because our work is similar(we love white space and negative shapes), but also extremely different(she uses a lot of technology-based references and angular lines... I, well, don't.)

Check her out.

I just had the most realistic zombie dream ever. My house was actually my house, it didn't transform or melt away like in other dreams. People I really knew were there and they were dieing, and thevery last thing I remember is trying to close that damned sliding door in the dining room and having it get stuck just like in real life.

Right before I was absolutely sure it was about to end, I was asked Wondows system error style if I would like to abort. Weird.

Thrill me.

I cannot tell if this is serious or not.

Nothing, reallly.

I am presently witnessing someone getting fired, unintentionally, of course...but it's still a bit awkward.

However, I do believe that the employer is the NICEST BOSS EVER. She seems like she could make you happy to hear that your dog got run over by a semi... she has one of those cal, pleasant, neighborly demeanors.

In other news, work officially starts Monday. Yay! Aaaand, more good news, Ben is coming up to visit next weekend for my cousin's grad party and my uncle's birthday. Brenna, my cousin, will be going to OU, and Ben and I are the only people she is going to know there, aside from my former co, Michelle. So, those of you who go to OU: Make sure that whil I am in Mexico you are keeping an eye on this girl and PLEASE WELCOME HER AND LOVE HER AS YOU DO ME!

I love buying things!

So, I'm trying to ensure that I have enought of the appropriate clothing for my study abroad trip to Mexico this coming winter. Seeing as how it will be around 70 degrees every day, I suppose this would be the best season to shop for that climate. I'm compiling a shopping list.

American Apparel Baby Rib Cutout dress in red, on sale for $19.00

American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Bandeau Pencil Dress in black, $34.00(it ties 15 ways, so it's totally worth it)

Gap silk dot skirt, $19.00

Urban Outfitters recycle tee, $24.00

Lux skirt dress, I forget the price, but it's probably too much.

Like the plague

To update you on my life:

--There is a mouse somewhere in my room and it is leaving little poops all over the place. I am going out tonight to buy a humane mousetrap so I can catch it and put it outside.

--I am Russenorsk's new web designer. Listen to/watch their first music video for "Science Tells Me" here. Be awed.

--I've come to the conclusion that David Sedaris is the world's funniest man. Just watch him in this clip from the Letterman show. You will concur.

I need some help:

Tow of my favorite bands are playing on the same night, in the same state, but not together.

Should I go see...

Fiona Apple in Columbus

or

Silversun Pickups in Cleveland

Pros and Cons...

Fiona:
-pros:she's Fiona Apple, she's playing with Nickel Creek(who is supposedly not touring anymore after this), the tickets are only $25
-cons: i saw her last summer at about the same time, the show is in Columbus and I'll be up in cleveland, I'd have to take 2 days off of work

Silversun Pickups:
-pros: I have never seen them before, they're playing with Sea Wolf, I don't need to take any days off of work,
tickets are only $16
-cons: I don't really know anyone who would go with me, it's at the Agora Ballroom, which I don't know how to get to

Help me out here.

Very well done.

Post Secret's Frank Warren came to talk at OU tonight. Very impressive. See him if you get a chance. And send in a secret.

It just struck me how much Rilo Kiley's early music & lyrics(think Take Offs and Landings and The Initial Friend LP) remind me of Phoebe's songs on Friends.

Anyone else hear it?

This just in: Laura hates Hates HATES group projects. Laura hates partners who are never on time more, though.

I didn't die.

In fact, my birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 21.

Thus, I made a birthday blog... that has nothing to do with my birthday.

Watch it. I dance!

It seems like an eon since the quarter started. Many, many things have happened in a short period of time. This weekend really slowed thing down for me, though. Yes, it was Easter weekend,and yes I did go home. However, I wouldn't say that the terms under which I was arriving were the best.

I don't know how to put this. If I write what really happened, I'm afraid I'll appear insensitive. If I sugarcoat it, though... it seems kind of like a lie. In an effort to share myself, though, I feel I must be true.

My friend from high school killed himself this past week. He shot himself. That is the true reason I returned home.

I've experienced grief before. I've been to funerals before. But inside my chest, somewhere above my fist-sized heart, near the bottom of my throat is this tense feeling whenever I think about something we did together. I'll be the first to admit, we weren't best friends. Not nearly. I had only really known the man since we were 17. That does not mean that I was not hit hard. It's odd, but recalling the past, anything we did together seems fragmented. It feels like I participated in whatever act with some sort of illusion. It seems that my brain thinks that because he's not here anymore, he never existed... that this person was imaginary.

It makes me so worried sick. If I feel this way now, will I feel it again when people who are closer to me begin to pass on?

I would like to offer an invitation to anyone at all who reads this. If you ever feel the need to talk to someone, I'll be a ready ear. Kris' suicide was not anticipated. None of us have a firm idea as to why he may have done this, but I know many others do the same when they feel that they are alone. You are never alone.

There is always hope.

I want to stand on tiptoe, wrap my arms around your neck, and hold on

what craft.
I think the artists of this book are college students. Just a hunch.

I think some sledding is in order.

I woke up to this.

Who wants to play?
