this summer went quickly, and was full of drinking and job changes.

i listen to the misfits now.

lindsay lohan's 18th birthday party went extremely well. a lady and i ended up putting on a show (unknowingly) for all the people looking through my doorwall from the balcony.

everybody quit their jobs at mike's bookstore. or, i quit for everyone but sarah m, who quit a week after us. most of us went over to the bookstore at the student union, and mike's has gone to hell. after working at the union for a month, i now work at barnes and noble. the job isn't bad... i only hate it when i'm not there. not sure what that means.

i have been smoking pot lately. more than ever before. i hope this doesn't become a habit, but i definitely can see why it does become a habit for so many people. you could write with the things i say.

last weekend i had a "torrid love affair" with a girl i had felt vibes with. turns out that in addition to being pleasing to the eye, she is smart and funny too. and she reads. she loaned me a book. we were going to see eachother at a party the next night, but she didn't show. i was probably supposed to pick her up and didn't know it. i read her book in three days and tried to return it to her, but she was at work, so i gave it to her roommate. i want to see her and maybe find out what happened.

i will be 21 on friday. i have to work until midnight because i was too late in attempting to get the day off, and no one wants to cover a friday night shift. i will just meet up with some kids and go to the bar after work. we are having a hoe-down party on saturday.

my brain is feeling funny, and i have to find some way to distract myself until leaving for work in 51 minutes.

p.s. i have had a cat for some time now.
