need you by my side.

so eating soup out of a bread bowl 

after meeting one of your best friends in real life 

for the first time 

is an experience that you should really be able to keep for all time, 

but might not be able to because it is too cold for you to look cute.

tomorrow it will be 27 probably.

so there will be some picture taking happening.

also, shopping will be involved

p.s.

i know you say i'm assuming things,

something's going down that's the seems,

cause this isn't how you usually do,

when you're saying everything  to me times two,

why can't you just tell the truth,

if somebody's there then tell me who.

i sold my soul to jesus and since then i've had no fun.

the new year has gotten off to a rather positive start for the most part;

not to mention oozing laura marling.

on the 15th i go to chicago 

(and i've made appropriate wardrobe purchases for the occasion)

on the 16th i will officially no longer work at best buy

(maybe my soul will finally get time to recuperate 

from the slow steady crushing it's had to endure in the past months.)

who knows what comes next.

but i am hoping for something big in 2009;

even jesus would say i'm due for something good.

good riddance 2008.

p.s.

this is my first post of 2009

and my 100th post thus far.

why not celebrate it by looking back at the past year and change?

it's what i did.

oh and p.p.s

these are the things i bought for the trip;

(in case you were wondering)

they very well may be the best purchases i've made to date.

no your eyes are not playing tricks on you,

it is a purple cropped trench coat.

(and i have the only one in all of america)

you don't really care for music; do you?

obligatory christmas blog!!!

or should i say o-blog-itory?

i shouldn't.

i went to my brother's again for dinner this year,

we played board/dvd/shouting-at-the-television-over-one-another games,

my nephews and brothers told jokes only people that love them would laugh at.

per usual.

it wasn't terrible,

but it wasn't terrific.

per usual.

i'm excited for the days when i'll spend my holidays with friends at our apartments,

i feel like the year that i have thanksgiving at my house is the year i'll be truly grown up.

ahh future, how you tease me.

so as i head off to bed;

 (i have to be at work at 7 in the morning)

i'll leave you with this my lovelies

i'm on the 7 o'clock to chicago

i need to return two vests and a trench coat to forever 21.

also 

on the 15th of january i'm going to CHICAGO!

in other news:

i have two five hour layovers

(one on the flight to chicago, one on the way back)

so i'll have to come up with 10 hours of shit to do in an airport...

yay?

p.s.

my flight is actually at 6:45.

i learned fast how to keep my head up

you should know that you're just a temporary fix,

this is not rooted with you,

it don't mean that much to me.

i'm over it,

i'm so not over it,

but i've resigned myself to the idea,

that i will no longer let myself go to a place,

where i allow him to upset me so much.

things are the way they are,

and there's nothing i can really do,

nothing productive anyway.

i've got a job interview on the 5th

and an orientation on the 8th.

things are looking up.

but...

although i think that i know things may never change,

i'm still hoping someday i might here you say:

i make you feel a way you've never felt before,

and i'm all you need and that you never want more,

then you'll say all of the right things without a clue,

and you'll be the one for me and me the one for you.

p.s.

mistakes aren't always regrets.

p.p.s.

i cannot wait for garlic bread and laughter.

hurry up and wait.

me: so i'm doing a survey for my latest blog entry because i'm too tired to be eloquent, but i really want to post something.

you: um, that's lame, it doesn't tell us anything new about your life.

me: actually scep-ta-kismo is does.

and besides this survey is adoreable.

you: .......

me: it's the most, to say the least.

real post coming soon i SWEAR.

*obscure pop culture reference!

i'm the only one in love.

aparently not all my subscribers feel the same way about me as i do about them...

i lost two followers on twitter,

AND a subscriber!

(more complete details in my next video.)

it's not even the followers, 

because whatever,

but honestly the subscriber bothers me, 

don't ask me why,

but even though i started making videos for myself,

once i people started to care i started making videos for both of us.

which is why i went on such a major guilt trip when i took youtube hiatus

(eight days.... it may not seem like a long time future me)

(but at this point in time it's the longest you've gone with out new material.)

and that's why i posted three videos in three days,

one of them being a subscriber thank you,

i made these ridiculously elaborate plans for when i hit 50,

(i am not now, nor was i ever expecting this to be soon)

(but when i say ridiculously elaborate, i mean it)

and i had finished it for 22 so far...

so then i'm talking to natalie and caitlin,

(note: when there are spaces i've talked to them separately)

and i go to check mah youtube for the first time today,

(i've been painting a LOT so i haven't been so obsessive)

now, when i went to bed this morning i had 32.

i check tonight and all of  a sudden i've got 31?!?

i'm upset,

probably more than i should be but whatever.

and i DON'T play favorites with my subscribers, 

but this one in particular

i compared my subscription emails with my subscriber list

is one whose videos i watch, and love.

and i'd be lying if i said that i don't love the idea that people i love on youtube, might totally love me back.

what i don't understand, 

is that this particular person went to 888,

and i from twitter i know the would have just been getting home,

when the unsubscription(?) would have happened.

 now i seem creepy

why now?

why even subscribe in the first place?

it's not like the videos are getting WORSE

they really could only get better.

so that totally ruined my day.

i'll get over it i'm sure.

it is what it is i guess...
