hello!

yay for irregular posting!  i went dancing again last night.  the housemate who had the party last week had another one this week.  some of us went over there for food and wine and it was fun and someone named ahmed tried to teach me to dance.  he's a good teacher, but i have very little co-ordnation.  then ian (the neighbor) was going to studio and i decided to go as well.  it was fun for awhile, but i got bored at the end, probably because i was getting sober.  i did sweat quite a lot.  the only other time i remember having sweat drip down my face like that was the one time i tried to participate in ice hockey and i couldn't do anything about it because i had a helmet on and twelve layers of padding.  instead this time i had glasses on and had to keep pushing them up my nose every three seconds.

today is laundry day, i think.

i have a new photo album with pictures of my house in it, in case anyone wants to look.  i feel strange standing outside of my own house with a camera, but there are a lot of really cool details.  a plaque on the porch says "lindsey house 1893" and i'm curious to learn more.

friday night my neighbor had a house party, and it was fun.  we drank, listened to music, and then went to gabe's to a dance party where i was chatted up by some grad student whose name i promptly forgot.  he talked a lot about boston which made me want to bang my head against the wall.  apparantly by mentioning i know someone who lives there translates into i really want to hear boring stories about it. 

i also met someone who turns out a) knows my sister and asked me if i was related to her right after meeting me and b) is roommates with bobby who lives two buildings away.  cue "it's a small world".

i have also been working what feels like a hundred hours a day.  i'm tired and am looking forward to a day off tomorrow.  my body desperately needs it, the last couple of nights i have been so sore i just sit in my chair and stare at the tv.

hot diggity dog target is fun!

in other news, i'm glad to see that my last post saved because the computer logged me out before i had a chance to check.  i was going to be pretty peeved about it too, because come on!  strippers! 

also, i keep meaning to take better pictures of my house to show you but i haven't gotten around to it yet.  i thought about it yesterday, but since we were on our way to do recycling i didn't get a chance.  (but as a trade-off i got to throw glass, so it's okay.)  it's a pretty spiffy place even if my door mysteriously shuts itself sometimes and i run into the sharp edge of the post at the bottom of the stairs.

lastly, it's rush time right now and since i live near a number of sorority houses there are an obscene number of skinny blonde girls in dresses hanging around my street.  i wish that someone was here with me so that we could make fun of them together.

my life in ten minutes or less

 

i hate that the library computer kicks you off in exactly 45 minutes because i have not even finished checking my email let alone start looking for a job but since i am working at target again and i will JUST have enough money for next months rent and loan payment (but not any more food or gas) i am not quite so freaked out about things. i qualified for state medical assistance which is nice. if i need an appendectemy it won't cost me about a years worth of paychecks.

friday night i went to a strip club in cr with a couple of my new housemates and a friend of theirs. it was a lot of fun, especially the part where we sat at the stage and the stripper decided to work for her dollars.  she has very soft skin. 

kathy is currently in montana climbin a mountain so i don't get to hang out with her this week.  but last night i watched this crazy movie called dead man which was good, but very strange.  and i may get to go play with fireworks on thursday.  plus i have work which kind of sucks but you know, completely necessary.

now i have to save this before i get kicked off or i will be really mad.

sorry, it's before noon.

i like my new house and i like having people around to hang out with.

i don't like looking for a job and not having the internet.

i'm excited because i saw kathy in fin and feather today and she said she was going to call me when she got off of work.  hooray!

yesterday i went to the iowa workforce development and one of my housemates went with me.  then we went to new pioneer and bought groceries.  i found this canned matar paneer that i bought, and it is so good!  in the evening we went to the farmers market and bought all sorts of fresh vegetables and i made veggies and pasta for dinner.  i swear, i am in food heaven right now!

of course then i left my car windows open and had to go outside at 4am to close them because of a huge thunderstorm.  i'm such an idiot about those car windows!

this exhibit business is going badly.  it doesn't help that i moved everything yesterday and left my computer's power cord at home.  aiee.

my new house & misc.

i live in the room that is hidden behind the tree and next to the trash cans.
