Yonkers
hello.
Just found out that I can catch a cab to a metro station. Hell yeah. Easy access to the west side.
Much more convenient than constantly trekking around to grand central.
I’m at least used to the 1 train.
Will now avoid watching every newscast about Hurricane Irene.
Shouldn’t be bad by the time it hits here though.
24 hours from now
i will be moving to Bronxville, NY
I had a good time this week. Very much
Now off to college.

Right. So after spending two days with really awful back pain and this weird rash spreading all over my body, I looked up the FDA’s description of the thing I’m on, and those two side effects are listed as extremely unlikely side effects. LOVELY. My life is awesome.
about 72 hours until this shit is out of my system.

My pleasant little rash is spreading. It’s now on my fingers (worst spot being my left middle finger), inner forearms, tops of my feet, toes, and thighs.
WTF.
If it is the codeine, it should be out of my system in the next few days.
…Life, you’re kind of an asshole right now.
To round it up
i had six fillings done, one root canal, one cap prep, a total of about 16 novicaine shots, taken about 12 ibuprofens, 8 codeine tablets, pierced my ears in the last two weeks.
Now 24 hours after going off the medicine, I have aches all over, so much pain in so many different locations that I actually can’t tell at any given moment what exactly hurts, a rash on my hands and forearms that...
And then there were holes in my ears
That wasn’t so bad.

The certain fellow I’ve been mentioning much lately and I spoke again tonight.
He was going to stay two nights with me, but now it’s just one (probably better for everyone involved)… We’re going hiking early in the morning and swimming in a lake that is located ON the mountain, after climbing all the way to a beautiful peak.
You know… I have a feeling that even...

I just spent an inordinately long amount of time looking up piercing parlors in my area (yes just for lobes. stfu. I’m not letting anyone stick foreign objects into my skin who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing, nor am I letting anyone shoot my ears- CLAIRE’S). So far, I’ve come across two that are generally pretty well looked upon. One is apparently a little...

My name is Lydia
I recently got back from a hole being drilled in the very back of my mouth for about two hours (the last 30 minutes of which felt like my jaw was going to break off in strike), and am now heavily medicated.
And I can’t even think about solid foods.
On the plus side, narcotics are kind of fun.

Tooth woes
So, I had to get an extraction a few years back on a molar tooth. Luckily for me, my teeth managed to stay in pretty good alignment.
Problem: Now it’s time to get the wisdom tooth on that side out, which has started to decay. So my dentist is suggesting I root canal it instead so my teeth don’t shift out of line by having two missing teeth on that side. ICK.
So tomorrow I find out...
uh oh
ex is considering getting a tumblr.
lolz.

Seriously
What is with the sudden need for bubble baths, jazz standards, and ryan gosling romance movies every time we hang up?
WHAT IS THIS?

I honestly don’t understand why I so often feel like breaking into tears when we hang up.
I can’t even identify the emotion.
It’s like blind pain.

At what point
does affectionately missing your friends become desperation?
can't decide what I'm looking forward to more...
Seeing my ex next week or my root canal tomorrow.

This, more than most things I have said, may be...
Me: In short, what is going on?
Friend: Pent-up tension from stressful times? Who can say? Maybe we're entering a new phase of violent civil disobedience and disorder inspired by the upheavals of the Islamic world.
Me: if it is civil disobedience, there must be an underlying reason and a moral imperative that the dissenters are following stemming from something beyond frustration. Plus, Thoreau does not justify acts of violence of this sort under civil disobedience unless those acts specifically further the moral imperative they are pursuing, which this honestly cannot.
Friend: Yeah, civil disobedience seemed a little light, so I added disorder, which seems more appropriate.
Me: Word.

Good luck, Mr. President. Sincerely.
I wrote letters to each of my representatives and senators and received a very ridiculous form letter than hardly addressed the concerns I raised and was entirely about promoting his point of view. It was absurd. I even conceded in my letter that I at least was aware of the democrat-idealist leanings that I was requesting and put forth a suggestion of...

Thoughts. (controversial post)
Disclaimer: This is about the London riots, and as such, I readily admit to knowing NOTHING about the situation except what I have read in BBC, NPR, and NYT.
After following the situation for a while, I am left in shock. I cannot imagine what has prompted this sort of rebellion. I know that it is partially in response to a man being shot by the police and that there is speculation that it is...

In September, I gained ten pounds pretty randomly. I had not changed my diet or exercise, or anything of the sort. Like most girls my age, I was mildly disgruntled but I never let myself dwell too much on things like that so long as I’m reasonably healthy.
About a month ago, I had my yearly physical and the doctor informed me that I have grown 2.25” in the last year and at this...

I am three pages in
And this book is SO good, that I am already taking my pencil to it.
I ONLY write in books for two reasons:
1. I am studying it in class.
2. There is too much brilliance in it that I cannot think straight and need to draw myself a map of awesome.
Having your heart broken
(by yourself, man, woman, life, God, or anything else of this universe and beyond) may just be the best thing that can happen to you. Healing yourself is the most profound way to build your strength.
