A Leg Grows in C Minor

Recently...as in last night....I was asked a question: how do you know when you love somebody? I had to think about it and I really don't know. Is there a prescribed amount of time that has to take place before someone falls in love, or can it be instantaneous? Is it going to always feel the same way or is it a different kind of love for a different person? At work today I asked Angel the question I was asked and she said love is when you get a feeling from a person that you don't get from anyone else, you want to be with them all the time (but there is a difference between lust and love, she says, I have to MAKE THAT CLEAR). Okay now that I'm quoting her, she wants to say that she also believes in love at first sight. On a side note: I find love at first sight interesting because in all of my previous relationships (besides the one I'm in now) I reaaaally did not even think about the person in any romantic way and then kinda just did after awhile. I never put much s...

I decided I would write about my D.C. trip before Sue has a chance to harrass me some more about not writing about it. Thursday So....we fly in (Joe and I on one plane, Sue on another) to the Baltimore airport at about 6. Sue is there waiting for us, which was a nice surprise because we thought her plane was later. We all took a wonderful train ride into the city to Union Station. I realized on the way that the suitcase which Joe so graciously brought me from his house is GIGANTIC and I subsequently almost knock everyone over on the train. So we get to Union Station, find Angie, exchange hugs, and head to her apt. We get to her apt, say hi to her pregnant roommate (long story) and get ready to eat. We walked to some Red River Grill place....I think that's what it was anyway and I ordered a burger. It's a bar/grill so we get two huge pitchers of Margaritas, of which I drank less than a full glass (tequila = blech). Some guy trips on a lemon behind me, almost fall...

The trip to see Angie in D.C. went well....and I should post about it but I feel as if it should have its own posting and I really want to talk about random other things right now so I'll save it for later. #1 I went to a funeral today. It was for Charles' dad, whom I only met twice, but I really went to support Charles. I hadn't been to a funeral since my grandpa's, and I have a newfound respect for them now that I've been so close to someone who's died. Everyone held up pretty well until the graveside service at the cemetary, when Charles' mom broke down and then all her children followed suit. Just seeing one of my friends so sad made me (and Joe Petro and Pat Kiley and Brian) start crying too and it was a big mess. Charles is holding up crazily well though, after the service he was joking around with us like always. Stupid death, always gets in the way of life. # 2 I was walking out of work tonight at about 9, and I got to the end of the street...

Yep that's me! I'll tell the sequence of events in order..... So umm for some reason I don't really remember much about last week. I'm pretty sure I saw Andrew again wednesday....or thursday? But I do know that Joe came over on friday to go to the mall b/c he's obsessed with Hollister. I didn't feel like buying anything, but Joe got a lot of stuff. Then the two of us went to Boston Market for dinner, against my better wishes....but Joe really wanted chicken I guess. We met up with Angela, played some Mario Party in which I kicked ass like usual and then went to see Napoleon Dynamite. Hilarious film. Joe went home pretty early and nothing much really happened after that. Saturday I went to Barb's "Home and Garden Party" which was pretty interesting. I'd never been to one before. It was a pajama theme but some people didn't wear pajamas. I didn't actually wear them to the house, but I felt bad after I saw her mother in law in curler...

I've been in a great mood lately. Of course I haven't eaten much which has produced some annoying headaches, but I'm hoping that'll pass soon like it usually does. Anyway I don't want to go into details about anything on here but obviously there's a reason I'm so happy and that reason is another person. So vague....but with my weekend updates it shouldn't be too hard to figure anything out. I'm actually not updating at the moment because I feel like cleaning the apartment. Like reaaaally cleaning it. I don't ever feel like scouring the bathroom so I think I should take this opportunity and run with it. More fun to come later. Oh yeah and I get to see Angie in 5 days!!!!

My computer is on its last legs, I know it. It keeps making really horrible noises, like screeching noises and whatnot. They say it's just the fan, but deep down, I know it's dying. I hope I'm not right, however, because I love my little IBM baby. In other news, this weekend was quite exhausting. I'll start with thursday, because that day turned out to be interesting. So I've been talking to this guy online that I met on myspace. Now before all of you laugh hysterically at me, I swear to god I am not using myspace as a dating service, I just like meeting people and talking to them. Well I started talking to him because I thought he seemed like a pretty cool guy, and apparently he thinks I'm pretty cool too so we went to Starbucks thursday and talked. I had a really good time, I love just being able to talk to someone, and we ended up talking for like an hour and a half (probably could have been longer but I was late for work). I never do stuff like ...

OMG I'm at Joe's right now stealing his computer just for a second because I'm so excited. I went to see "Hero" with him tonight, and didn't notice til it got like a quarter of the way through the film that TONY LEUNG is one of the main characters (Broken Sword). I've seen much of this film in my Hong Kong cinema class, but oddly, none of the scenes featured him. Anyway my point is that I talk to everyone I know about the film "Chungking Express" which I am in love with, and HE is the reason I'm in love with it. So to randomly see him in another film is amazing. So....if anyone happens to see Hero, be on the lookout. He's sooooo awesome.

So because I've been too lazy to talk about the weekend for....basically an entire week....I'm gonna not go through the whole thing and just pick out good/interesting points of it: Friday -Angela and I start the night off on our front porch drinking Labatt Ice 40s and talking to the neighbors -Charles arrives, we go to A-Street first -Met Charles' friend Blake who decided to drunkenly impress me with how rich his family is -Angela feels attention-less so we head over to The Jungle where her friends are -Not too big of a crowd, but the dj is playing kickass music so we dance all night -Some guy with a BO problem tries to dance with us....we slowly back away -Last song of the night is a techno remix of "Those were the Days"....I decide to drunkenly try to form a kickline -Angela and I walk home with a guy trying to convince us to go to McGreggors because his friend runs it and he just bought a 1000 dollar beer pong table -We get home, I'm gone so...

This is something I stole from Charles and subsequently put on my blog on myspace. I am also posting it here just because I'm a huge dork and love to post things. Okay: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:" ...in his sensory recall of the musty quarters of the Old Corner Bookstore..." Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? "The Dante Club" novel which I had just thrown on my bed from the previous question What is the last thing you watched on TV? umm Real Sex.....ha WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is: 12:31 Look at the clock, what is the actual time? 12:31 HOLY SHIT I'm psychic, seriously I just guessed With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? cars going by When did you last step outside? what were you doing? step outside from my house? I guess when I went to work at noon.... Before you came to this website, what did you look ...

Okay I still have to update from this past weekend but I have to get to work so I'm just gonna say a few random things instead: - seriously....WHY are construction guys outside of my window when all it faces is another house? I think there's like....a clothesline there or something. Anyway I woke up this morning to the sounds of "hot time/summer in the city/back of my neck gettin dirty and gritty" and first got confused that I had an alarm on and then subsequently realized that it was just really loud and annoying worker guys. Grrrr - it's funny that last night I put a picture up on "myspace" that shows my body (instead of just a headshot like I had on there before) and this morning I wake up to 1 new friend request, 2 picture comments, and 1 message. If you aren't on myspace and are confused just ask me what the hell I'm talking about. My point is, however, that I just find it suspicious since I hardly ever get messages/friend reques...
