a few things [16 Jun 2005|02:04pm]
1. i LOVE bloc party. that was one of the best shows i've been to in awhile. ahhhhh so worth the free tickets. haha.

2. i am so awkward. i need to work on that. i think too much about if people i know are hello-worthy or just the people with whom you exchange smiles. i think i should definitely say hi to this one person, but i only smile at him now and he probably thinks i am really cold. i think it would be weird though if now i started to say hi. i also overanalyze. that too makes things awky awkward.

3. i am a bitch. i have terrible timing.

4. i am really tired. 4 hours of sleep can't cut it anymore. laura said last night as we were driving back from nyc "this feels like high school." i said "what does? being sober and awake at 4 am?" yep. i may pull the george constanza now and nap under my desk.

as much as i support the "cause" of peace, i think i create conflict. maybe i should just learn to let some stuff go.

i hope everyone had a merry christmas! you will see evidence of my favorite christmas present either here or on facebook or both.

i ate so much brie yesterday that i never want to eat brie again. i also slept til 12:30 today which was the latest i have slept in a long time. also, i had a really weird dream last night that involved a D in microeconomics, the boy with the perfect nose and a surprise birthday party pour moi!

i don't get it. at all.

home in 4 days.

some random thoughts and observations: [26 Sep 2004|10:14pm]
[ mood | hmmm ]
[ music | chess machine - the cost ]

i think i have come to the conclusion that testing my wasabi limits is my favorite pastime.

last night we met a squirrel monkey downtown named JT.

i got really nostalgic about an hour ago. i was watching silent films for a class, which were great, but the lack of a dialogue to follow also led my mind to wander. i started missing really odd things, and not even recent things i've left behind like the relics of summer, but for some reason the german deli that closed a few years near my house popped into my mind, as well as my living room floor, and the smell of the elevators at work this summer. i miss people. i need to make a lot of phone calls, write some emails, and get in my car.

now to make matters so much worse (or maybe better), i am listening to my summer 2004 mix. yeah.

oh by the by, listen to my radio show "something pertaining to ligers" on tuesday mornings, starting this here tuesday, from 8-10 am.

it is now time for me to again question my intelligence as i delve into my government work.

it's damn good to be back... [07 Sep 2004|09:32pm]

[ music | ok computer ]

this year is great so far.

SCOOP was amazing. i've found such great friends amongst the other peer advisors and quite a few of the freshmen.

i'm in a clean well-lit dorm with the majority of my closest friends.

the new york times is free for skidmore students every single day.

there is new organic coffee in the cafe.

my single is making me so happy. i am quite proud of my decorating, but there is still work to be done.



i am a little nervous for classes to begin, but it will all be okay.

time to check on my laundry.

this makes me laugh in oh so many ways.

scoop is going wonderfully. the first trip was a blast. i wish i had done wilderness as a freshmen, but oh well, it was awesome leading them on wilderness. we're heading back to sagamore today. i am doing lodging, along with the peer advisors ariella, nick, sam, anna, jess, adam, and lindsey. we're all going to sleep in the lean to. i did that the first night before we ventured off into the wilderness and i got elbowed in the bladder and the boob, nick's ass on my face, and 45 minutes of sleep. i can't wait to do it all again.

i need to pack my stuff.

ciao.

ps. sara, i am going to try to call you today, but if i do not, anna, our RA, said you can only move in early if you talk to res life. she doesn't have the keys and can't make that decision.

itchy!! [21 Aug 2004|10:28pm]
this morning my dad and i decided to take a run in the marshlands in rye. it was gorgeous, running at 9 on a path lined with purple wildflowers looking out onto the long island sound and smelling salt. the bugs seemed to like the spot too. as we ran through one densely green area, my legs were eaten like candy. the attack made me run faster, but i was wounded and left with 23 bites.

today is the only day i wish the world had more spiders. unite little buggers to catch and kill all the mosquitoes!

other than that, family here and ny itself are wonderful. i do miss california and its inhabitants already though!

i am in a very loving mood [19 Aug 2004|01:12am]
i love san francisco. i love the tamarind candies that we finally found in greater quantity than the few that usually accompany the bill at thai restaurants. i love amoeba records. i love kitaro sushi. i love independent movie theatres. i loved garden state. i love the shins. i love coincidences. i love that parker is now a friendly acquaintance of mine. i love hanging out with holly. i love that holly put up with two "office socials" of mine. i love pacifico. i love writing really obnoxious livejournal entries.

goodnight!

one more day in sf :( /:)

i am such a klutz. i am a little accident prone at times, but last night i tripped and fell twice in a 20 minute time frame going through yerba buena gardens and 15 minutes later walking to our seats in the theatre. both times i was walking with cameron, a bard college junior with whom i work. never before had i experienced the crush-induced klutziness so popularized by teen idols like hilary duff, but there i went... down to the ground... twice.

there is this man named ben who is the boss of my bosses. he is adorable. he is the reason i couldn't say no to going on the camping trip this weekend. how could i refuse such a beautiful face urging me to spend the weekend with him? so today we got paychecks again (yay!) and alana, one of the directors in my office, told me mine was the only one with a note on it. the note reads" "hey lily. - ben"

i see a great future for the two of us.

so i'll be departing for this camping trip tomorrow and will return sunday afternoon. have a great weekend friends and fellow americans. perhaps everyone who has not yet seen fahrenheit 9/11 should do so to celebrate the 4th of july.

new topic: i was moved to a single in wiecking on the 2nd floor! i was really looking forward to living with cait, but i am quite excited for this room.

in other news, happy birthday laura!

i am still really angry about yesterday, but taking today off work made me feel a bit better. today was fun. we did some odd stuff and i felt like a middle school aged boy a few times, but it was cool.

holly and i started our day of fun with subs. how else? then we went to toys r us and bought skateboards! they are matching too! then we went to the craft store on geary where i bought thread for friendship bracelets. we decided after that we hadn't been to stonestown in ages, so we drove over there. we fell in love with a really hot guy working at hot topic. too bad he works at hot topic. later in the day we saw dodgeball. it was kind of silly, but still entertaining. i love ben stiller and vince vaughan and justin long.

i got emails today from two of my favorite people, which also made me smile.

but now that the day is ending, i am getting upset again. i am freaking out about life without an ID. how do i go to the hella show? how do i go to popscene? but mainly, i am sad that tomorrow will be the first father's day away from my dad and that when i call him i have to tell him that i irresponsibly didn't watch my bag and now have lost the iPod he gave me for christmas. skdjfhjsdg!!! fuck fuck fuck.

part of me wants to get on a plane to my dad's this week and spend the summer there away from everything.

i had a weird, but good dream last night. i am going to go to sleep and hope that i have another good one. i need something to look forward to.
