i've been doing this so much that 430 doesn't even seem late anymore.
last night i went to bed about 5. i remember seeing my clock at 520, then again at 630, 7, and finally 830. i was gonna get up at 7 but decided to continue sleeping. my sketchbook cover came out very nicely, she loved it.
3 hours of sleep did me no good, and my 15 minute nap after design didn't help one bit. didn't get my interview with leslie at the bijou, but i will on thursday. i need to call cyndy about christmas presents. every year my sismour cousins and i send each other these dumb gifts. that sounds real mean. when we were little and saw each other a lot it was fun, we'd pick out things at Santa's Secret Shop and send them to each other. I remember one year we got "little black books" for Robbie and Michael. One year they sent us nail dryers. Now, they send shower gel or smelly sprays, which are nice, but generic, and we're pretty certain that not only do they put no thought into the gift, but that our aunts buy them, and every year Cyndy and I strain to figure out what to send them. it's so silly. i'm not even buying gifts for friends of mine, yet each year i spend time and money getting a gift for my cousins. Robbie and Christy, it's not as bad, but Katie and Michael I have neither seen nor spoken to for two years. Really, I'd rather just get a letter from them about what they have been doing. We also do aunt and uncle presents. last year k&m sent my parents this nasty, nasty, gold spray painted basket filled with christmas potpourri. i sound horrible right now, but the thing is, why give a gift you don't really care to give, or a gift you're giving simply because you feel like you have to? that's not why people do it! and i mean it about the letter. after this christmas, i'm sending them a letter saying we should stop this silliness and telling them all about me, and how much i would like to know more about them! Robbie is getting married, for pete's sake.
anyways. i christmas-browsed with the 45 minutes of extra time i had.
class - no interview notes but it was okay, still got to talk about things, got some good new ideas.
talent show was ... okay. talked to lisa some which was fun. gave jeff a bright red mohawk... that was very fun.
d and i had a big hurtful misunderstanding (really) through lack of communication, and micommunication in emails. i miss her.
after the talent show, me adam lisa jeff jason and some guy rob, i think, went to the blarney but it was all crowded and goddam it is way too loud there. we went to adam's and drank sam adam's cream stout on the porch. it was real cold but i was well bundled and it was fun and some how that beer was perfectly wintery. like hot chocolate, i said to raffi, just a different kind of taste, and not hot. you could see big clouds of my breath.
then some other stuff happened, including a string between adam's porch and lisa and jason's window. they're going to put cups on the ends and talk. then raffi came over and we came here and we ordered $22 worth of pizza. can you believe that? most of it is in the living room. it was far too much. i'm putting it in my fridge becuase i put $11 in.
craziness ensued for a variety of reasons. it was hilarious.
i'm getting sleepy.
anyways, i will catch up on boston and stuff maybe tomorrow.
for now, bed.
xoxo
goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby, the world has more for you than it seems, goodnight, goodnight

let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
