these are the days...

 i'm doing better. the weather is gorgeous and summer is upon the city of new york. i looked at my calendar for the rest of the summer, and it's already ridiculously busy. most exciting is my trip to tokyo in july. i will be reunited with my people. MOSHI MOSHI!

my very first childhood friend got married this weekend. when i hugged her after the wedding, she said "did you ever imagine when we were 2 and playing with my little pony that we would be here now?" it's just absolutely crazy-- and it's crazy that i am almost 26 years old. i feel like i just graduated high school, when in fact i not only graduated high school but college, grad school, and am 2 and a half years into my first job. and yet i still feel very young and learning so much in this world. time will only tell what life brings for this girl.

case in point: despite the fact that i was very proud that i did not get burnt on my face, legs, chest, and arms from the beach today, i have to go nurse a bad burn on the small of my back. way to go kid, way to go...

ahh, look at all the lonley people

i have been a funk in the past few weeks. i think it's a combination of different things. bomb scares. dr appointments. dating. job. friends. weather. money. but it all boils down to this: new york city may be the most exciting city in the world, but unless you have the right people and the right mentality, it will mean absolutely nothing. i will put this out there: i truly am happy... i am surrounded by wonderful people. but it's kind of at the point where am i as happy as i want to be? i am kind of at a cross roads, and i'm not too sure what step to take. i was supposed to be on a 5-10 year plan, but i think a wrench was thrown in. ohhhh what to do what to do. i think i need to see a therapist. or visit a krispy kreme. wait, they are all gone? therapy it is...

next entry: a happy one. i promise.

WHO ARE YOU?

who is reading this blog? seriously-- i honestly thought the only person was meaders. but there are more of you coming to read nothingness.

i wish i had exciting things to post about, which would then be cause for constant checking, but alas i lead a pretty dull life. what did i do today? i woke up, ate some multigrain cheerios, watched the birdcage, went to the gym, did an hour of yoga, ate subway, waited for two separate cable guys to come to my apartment, ordered salad and pizza for dinner, watched some more TV, listened to some music, and read people magazine. is that at all exciting?? is it worth checking? i mean, seriously, that is what twitter is for.

now i am going to lie in bed and watch snl. what a fabulous life. be incredibly jealous.

i've been a long time gone now...

yesterday was the worst day i have had since living here (well, maybe not worst, but top 5). and for the first time since may 2008, made me feel very very alone. the human race continues to confuse and disappoint me. and i continue to question what exactly i am doing.

well, back to reality.
