cooking while slightly inebriated and VERY angry (especially when cooking a nice omelette) is NEVER a good idea. eggs get on the floor spinach gets tossed around. things go very wrong.

I don't understand why jobs take so long to get back to you. Why is it so hard to give a yes or no answer? Do they really need to think over it THAT MUCH?
I have skinny jeans and pretty silver flats. I have a credit card with a cool pin chip in it and I have a student id = discounts.
now all I need is that answer. and maybe another pair of skinny jeans. sorry jules. they make my legs look good!

so, as many of yu ay know, i've made my move to london. it's great i've never been happier. i'm looking for a job and setting in to David's place. He's being so good to me, taking care of whatever I want. I think we're n that honeymoon stage. What does suck is that my money hasn't transferred to my uk account. so it's not that I have only a little bit of money. i have no money. at all. i'm going to museums and galleries and everything which is nice, but I'm so accustomed to my decent income.
it's lonely in the daytime, but you know what's great? there's no one around to see my bawl my eyes out while i watch the notebook! wooooooo!

I've been reading old updates and loving every minute. I think I should post more, just so I have reading material later, but I never get around to it. Now's the time....
so I graduated, yeaaaa me. I've moved on to a dull, dreary summer of work, 6 days a week, from open to close. No matter how hard I work, and how much it seems I'm putting away, I never seem to have enough money. I'm becoming a bitter, miserable old(ish) woman who really needs to get away from work. My last day is Aug 4. So near, so far. I was bartending one night and there was this irritating "i have a house in the hamptons" type woman at the bar who knew Gary (one of the hosts who happens to know everyone east of the atlantic). He told her that I just graduated from Wellesley. She said, "Oh and look what you've done with your education. I bet your parents are so proud of the 140K they spent on you". What killed me is that I couldn't/ didn't say anythign in return.
David and I are doing well, just had our big, bad one year anniversary over the july 1 weekend. I went to London and had an amazing time (even though he was at work for the majority of it). A picnic in the rain on top of primrose hill. I can't think of anythign I'd rather be doing. We just bought plane tix for our california vacation. btw, money will always be an issue for us. I will never make as much as he does, and I think that will always bother me. This problem always rears its head when we are buying plane tix. One day, I will learn how to not stress over my finances. one day, pigs will fly out of my ass. I spent alot of the time at his place cleaning and organizing. It sounds silly, but the more time I spent reorganizing his bookshelf and kitchen cupboards, the more I felt like the place could be mine.
oh yeah, and I met one of his friends, manho ng. he was amazing. after drinking 2 beers, he fell asleep, regardless of his location.
i'll be home 6 aug - 10 aug and home with the boy 20 aug- 24 aug. juh oh, do you really have a phone??

sooo I've been accepted (and will be going) to Univeristy College London's History of Art MA programme! UCL = very good school (now I'm just bragging), and although it is not my top choice (I am yet to be informed whether or not I have been accepted to the Courtauld), it has an excellent history of art department AND they accept FAFSA! So... slightly less loans which is very good considering the amount of debt I have incurred already. David was just in this weekend to celebrate. He took me to no. 9 park, so so tasty. Check out the tasting menu jesus that's tasty
We had some pretty intense commitment-focused talks. We're going to try living together and see how it works, and then move on from there. It is going to be VERY difficult for two to live in his 600 sq. ft. studio apartment.
I'm thinking that I will be headed back to Madtown for a minute on 22 May and then again towards August which will be my last time in the country until probably around christmas. so if you love me, come see me!

I finally made it to London after one hellish night of cancelled/indefinitely delayed flights. I was then wisked away to Spain (Granada, Puerto del Santa Maria and Seville. DEFINITELY see Granada. Sevlle is really nice too...Santa Maria is probably not worth the trip). I had an amazing time and David even let me drive! We met this couple at a service station who happened to be from Cape Cod. I asked them how their rental car was (bcause ours was struggling to get up hills) and they said they had a Fiat which actually went really really fast! And all this time I had thought fiats weren't that amazing.. yeah, he didn't know how to convert miles to km. I'm back in London now, waiting to meet up with my darling Sotheby's interns. I just had my first interview with Birkbeck college and tomorrow's my big, bad scary interview with UCL. Wish me luck!!

| i shop therefore i am |
[02 Mar 2007|10:47am] |
Having just paid off my MASSIVE credit card bill, it has come to my attention that I need to go shopping. No worries though! I have a purpose. David and I are 85% sure that we will be going to Andalusia/Costa de la Luz/Southern Spain. Thus, not only do I need a tan, I also need a bikini (I haven't seen the sun since I lived in LA) and I dunno, a nice spring dress. Now, I've found some cute bikinis but I run in to a small problem. They are sold 'as a set'. How stupid is that? How many girls reading this have the same size top and bottom??!?! Anyways, I don't. So basically, I'm enlisting the help of everyone (including guys) and especially ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) shakewell, because you're always so good at this stuff (and I'll get you a postcard too...) to find me a hot bikini. because if I'm going to be on a european beach, i need to be freaking on point!
with love.

| my valentine |
[20 Feb 2007|12:16pm] |
I am currently sitting in Washington Dulles airport, feeling like poo, waiting to get on a plane to go back to Boston.
My valentine's/post valentine's was amazing. Didn't really do much on Valentine's day ('cept go to work, which was fine), but the next day I flew to London. I was supposed to have this nasty nasty connecting flight, but my first flight was cancelled, so they put me on a direct flight (on British airways, where liquor is freeeee!) I knew that David had a surprise for me and I just thought that we would be spending a day trip somewhere outside of London (like Bath, which is perfectly nice). BUt before I knew it, we were in a cab going to waterloo to take the train to Brussels! I lovey love love belgian beer and chips. We also went to Ghent and it was absolutely beautiful. Sitting by the canal, drinking the best beer ever listening to people speak dutch (which kinda sounds like the swedish chef from the muppets http://youtube.com/watch?v=QCJLCc8DRrk ) I will post pictures as soon as he gets them to me. oh yeah, I got him some really nice clothing for his birthday from banana republic (he hates to shop, so I figured I'd do it for him!) It was all too small. dammit.
k time to get on the plane. xx

I would pay money right now to feel confident in something. Do you realize how much money graduate schools and their affiliated companies make off of students' lack of self-confidence? a shit ton most likely.

my boyfriend is the most amazing guy ever. EVER.
Saturday afternoon, I was at work (bartending, which is going very well btw) and I'm making a drink and I look up. Guess who's there? David. no shit. the love of my life. He flew in from London, got a cab from the airport and surprised me at work. Unfortunately, he has to go back to work for tomorrow, so I had to take him to the airport this am before I went back to work. I am

Most (if not all) adults know that there is no such thing as Santa or the Easter Bunny, but most people want their children to believe in them all the same. Why?
Comment at will.
and the reason why I'm posting at 845 on a Saturday night is because i'm studying. obviously. so BACK OFF.

[16 Dec 2006|04:06pm] |
there was a long line for the vending machine
I was pressured to make a quick decision
I made the wrong one.
I never really liked cheez-its that much. dammit. what a waste of 85 cents.
