Treasure Island! Got to the island a little late but just in time to see The Streets. He was a lot of fun, mced over some drum’n’bass which was hilarious. Met up w/Courtney and wandered around getting nice and drunk. Brazilian girls were fantastic of course. The singer wore this ridic felt heart dress. MSTRKRFT blew it up which was hilarious and led the crowd in a sing-a-long to Bohemian Rhapsody to end the set. Then Ben and I went to get on the ferris wheel. This was during Girl Talk and at the end of the set he had fireworks and I got some amazing pictures. This total hipster bro was heckling us in a funny way when we were on the wheel. Like “yeah! Make out!” and so we did and then he yelled “yeah! Beard on beard action!” MGMT started while we were on the wheel but we decided to leave then to beat the crowds back. Got back to Ben’s and just had a night in.

Ran into Pollo who scared the hell out of me cuz she wasn’t in drag and I didn’t recognize her. Finally managed to scalp tickets and made it into the show. She was sick but still did a good six songs. Glad I made it in. I also ran into this guy Brian who I met at Badlands ages ago and think is rather attractive.

Friday the 3rd:
Went to brunch and wandered the neighborhood w/my neighbor. Then went to get my haircut in Astor Pl. and then went to the gym. Came back and went to a rooftop party at POB's place. It was chill and fun and he had beer for me. Then he, me, and his friend Brian, went to The Cock. Their friend got us in and he was adorable. I ran around and giggled at how slightly raunchy it was. The DJ really liked me and kept getting me drinks and then started giving me coke so that was yay. He wasn't that cute but I felt I owed it to him so I went home w/him. He was being really cagey and weird and was off-putting so I just left.
Saturday the 4th:
Met POB in MacCarren park as he had accidentally taken my keys the night before. We hung out for a bit and just relaxed so that was fun. Met up w/my roomies and their friends on Loisada to get Puerto Rican food which was delicious. Then ran over to Chelsea to meet up w/Jeremy and his friends at his friend's place to drink and watch the fireworks on the Hudson which were amazing! Then we went to some stupid Chelsea bar just to try it out for ten minutes and then went to Mr. Black. Now *that* was a party! I got all flirty flirty w/the DJ again (A different DJ this time) after my friends left cuz I was kinda all by myself. He and I ended up making out for a while and then we went to spin and he was really good! I met lots of people and danced around and he gave me drink tickets too so that was yay. Eventually the DJ finished and I went home w/him. That was really enjoyable. He was really sweet and it was fun. We talked more the next day and turns out he's also an artist and has done some work for BUTT so that was yay! He was sweet.
Sunday the 5th:
went to my neighbor's and he was all proud of who I had gone home with. We got chocolate milk and watched The Craft and just lolzed around.
Monday the 6th:
felt shitty at work. Then went to Bryant Park to meet up w/Shin to watch Dog Day Afternoon, also ran into Erik so that was fun.
Tuesday the 7th:
felt shitty at work again.
Met up w/Megan and her bro and Ahmet after work to go to Kellog Diner which was dissapointing. It was just a regular diner, I thought it would be more Williamsburg-y.
Now I'm off ot bed to hopefully sotp feeling so shitty.

Wednesday the 17th:
work, then buffy probably.

Thursday the 18th:
Work. Then off to Pratt for a gallery opening. The art was good and it was swedish. So the food was swedish too and I got enough nibbles to constitute dinner. Plus 4 glasses of wine! Then we wandered to Chelsea to try another gallery opening but itw as fancy and cost money. Then we went to some new club in williamsburg that had an open bar. The music was good and we got drinkies. I was talking to Nikol's friend Courtney and realized I had met her at Akbar w/Veronica and Cody a year ago and now she and Cody are besties which is lolz. Then we went to the charleston and got pizza and beer and man was I wastey!

Friday the 19th:
Woke up on time and felt like I was having a really good day. Wasn't hungover at all. Went to the gym at lunch and flirted w/hot guys and felt good about myself. I went to get a haircut after work at Neighborhood Barber and had my beard trimmed and my neck shaved. It was like an old timey barber shop! Except he used a razor on the back of my neck and he totally tore me up. There was blood on the collar of my shirt afterwards :(
Went home and drank a tall boy w/dinner. Then drank a four loco while getting dressed and it was time to go! Went in a car w/Jeremy and his friend to the BUTT Bang! Got there in time to see Hunx and his Punx which was a lot of fun. I also ended up suuuuuper wastey. Oh and Alex was there. and some other people. I was a wastey poo. We then went to the Boiler Room but that was meh. The guys weren't as hot as at the butt party. Then we went to Eastern Bloc and the bouncer there was that celebrity bouncer and he was all flirty pants w/me. He said he wanted to "slowly unwrap me from a sari" I lolzed. Then we wandered over to The Hose. Also I made out w/Cameron which was lolz. He's so british and pretentious. There was this super hot ginger standing in front of the hose with his shirt off cooling off after dancing so I flirted w/him pretty hardcore. So I ended up going home w/him to Williamsburg. We wrestled around and had fun.

Saturday the 20th:
Went to brunch at this bar nearby to his place. It was meh. Turns out he's the quiet type though. Not that entertaining. But he was still pretty in the morning :)
I went home and was tired and pretty much just watched buffy all day. I was supposed to hang out w/this guy from okc but he ended up flaking on me. oh well.

Sunday the 21st:
Woke up in a bad mood and realized I had a terrible sinus headache. I went back to bed to try the day over again but when I woke up it still wasn't better. I wanted to still do something so I went w/Kate and Alex to this pan-asian/soul food/italian/mexican vegetarian/vegan restaurant in greenwich village. It was pretty good but I still felt poopy. We ended up going home early and going to bed early.

Monday the 22nd:
Woke up and felt like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. So I called into work. It felt like I'd be sick for a while so I went over to the market to get medicine and soup. Then I went back home and slept all day. My roomies got home and then we headed over to Bowery Ballroom to meet up w/Alex and see Spinnerette and Band of Skulls. BoS is a band on my sister's label so she got us in and VIP. Pretty fantastic :) The show was awesome and I'm glad I made it out.

Tuesday the 23rd:
Woke up in the morning in a pool of sweat cuz my fever had broken so that was yay. I decided to keep sleeping though just to make sure I get better and made it in to work by noon.

Wednesday the 24th:
Work but then I was feeling in a really bad mood. I went to Ben Sherman and everything was on Sale but it didn't perk me up :( I went over to Uniqlo though for the first time and loved it! That perked me right up and got 3 shirts and a belt for under $100!!! Then went to Topshop and bought shoes and felt very happy :)

Thursday the 25th:
work and then went to a personal training session at the gym. The trainer really kicked my butt. Then I wandered around and tried to find shoes to wear to the worksite tomzo but failed :( Then came home and now watching buffy!

Monday the 8th
Had lunch w/the Shullster who was in town for that job interviewy thing.
Then home and buffy!
Tuesday the 9th
work and then went to that open house thing for all the museums on the museum mile with my roomie, Kate. Everything was too crowded so taht sucked but then the museum of the city of new york was cool and open and the gay men's chorus was singing so that was cool. Then met up w/Kate's dad and went to the apple store to get her a laptop. Then we went to dinner at the most expensive restaurant I've ever been to and we also had a bunch of wine and champers and it was ridiculous.
Wednesday the 10th
meh, more buffy.
Thursdya the 11th
dressed cute for work. I finished up that steel spreadsheet I'd been working on for the week and it was a super cool. I went and joined a gym so yay! exchanged a belt at topman. Whoops my gym is across the street from topman, bad for my wallet!
Friday the 12th:
work then went to the bubble fight in times square! It was pretty gorgeous to see all the bubbles floating through the air. Then went home and started drinking. yay! Went to a hosue party at Kate's friend's. The party was kinda lame and the place was super hot (like temperature wise) we left fairly early and decimated subway posters to decorate our apartment.
Saturday the 13th:
did nothing all day and then went to check out my new gym. It was pretty boring as it was mostly empty and they have shower curtains! :( That's like half the reason I go to the gym.
Then went home and watched buffy and napped a bit.
Then got dressed up all fancy and met up w/my neighbor, jeremy lee, and his roomie to go to some lame bar in williamsburg and then went to check out Metropolitan which I really like. It's a totes gipster bar that has good music and cute boys and importantly! The boys actually check me out! amazing!
Then we went to sugarland and I proceeded to get really wasteyface. We met up w/Alex Bacon who I met last week at jeremy lee's. I danced around and met some guy who was acting like a huge asshole so I wanted to take him home and fuck him for the lolz. So I took him home and then he disappeared w/my roommate who had just gotten home and they lolzed and I passed out.
sunday the 14th:
The next morning we talked for a bit and he was actually pretty interesting. So I got his number. I met up w/Alex Bacon for Metropolitan Sunday afternoons where they have free bbq when you buy a super cheap ($8!) pitcher of beer. We got kinda buzzed and had a good chat. Then I went over to meet up with the boy from the night before at this ridiculous Chelsea apartment that he lives at. It's owned by his friend who's an old gay activist and he sleeps on the couch. We fooled around for a bit and then he walked me to the subway.
Monday the 15th:
Did some work on the 4th project I've worked on. Which is pretty awesome, I like that I've worked on so many different things so far. Then I started to feel really ill around 4 and ran out of work to do so I went home early. I laid in bed watched more buffy and went to bed fairly early.
Tuesday the 16th:
Did some more kinda busy work as no one really knows what to give me at the moment so eh @ that. Then did a photo scavenger hunt as a bonding thing w/the other interns. I actually ended up having some fun so that was good. We ran all over soho and the village and got some lolzy pictures which I will hopefully have soon. Then all the hot interns were like "let's get beers" so I joined in. It was cool talking to them. We compared fist bump/hand shake techniques east coast vs. west coast and got invited to the frat house in hoboken where one of the guys lives which is super lolz!
Then came home and watched buffy! yay!

June 1st:
First day of work, orientation, met some people. It was ok. fine. Then went back to Carlotta's to get my stuff and moved into my new place! Hung out w/the roommates a bit, took a looong shower, got delivery. It was good :)
June 2nd:
Tried on two pairs of pants I haven't worn since last summer and they didn't fit! Went to work s'more met some more co-workers. Started actually doing work. Also still didn't get my computer fully working. I went to h&m and zara to try to find pants and only found one pair. Went home and tried the mexican place near me for dinner. Actually pretty good!
June 3rd:
More work :) Went to Topman to get new pants and got cute shoes too! yay, now I had pants. It started pouring so I went to buy my first umbrella since I lived in England.
June 4th:
went on a booze cruise for SEAONY. It was good to get to bond w/my co-workers and met some other young engineers. Also ran into an engineer I wokred under at buro who was being lolzy. The views were fucking amazing and I took some (hopefully) great pictures. Also got lolzy drunk. We ended up in a limo and went to this super lame-wad bar that was a coyote ugly knock-off which was lolz for that. Got lost for a while and tried to find Allan, finally did! We went to the Cubby Hole which was pretty fun. I got the hiccups! But the bartender gave me some magic cure which worked. Then Allan dragged me to splash which I really didn't wanna go to but he paid for me so tevs. I met this cute little boy and decided to take him home. It was pretty lolz and fun.
June 5th:
woke up super late, whoops. Got to work super late but tevsy, some people never even showed up at all! I went home to shower and went back to the village to meet up w/X and some of her friends. We started at The Blind Tiger which had good food and great beers but was way too crowded and loud to have conversations. We then ended up at this awesome Belgian beer bar called the something Nuit. I met Andy and (i think) Will, his boyfriend. Andy is an old roommate of Al's. We all ended up being pretty waste-y which was fun. Then I took the subway home. When I got back I noticed that the neighbors were having a party and since I didn't feel like going home so I popped in. It was all art fags and pretty lolz. My roommate and friend walked by outside and saw me inside so they came in as well. We all hung out for a while but then it was like 6:30 so I decided to go home. Oh and one guy got my number on the way out and I thought he could be lolz so I was happy to give it out.
June 6th:
Woke up late, but not late enough. Then went to brunch w/two roomies and one of their friends. We went to the greenpoint cafe which is right by here. The food was good and so were the bloody marys. Then we walked over to Mccarren park for an arts and crafts fair. We stopped at Turkey Nest and got big drinks to go (which was so fantastic)! We wandered around and I ended up buying a cute shirt and these really hideous underwear simply becuase they were so hilarious. Then we went and got more bigger drinks at the bar and wandered over to these awesome park on the wate rthat I"ve dubbed The Brooklyn Beach. The views were fucking amazing. Then we went over to Bedford and it was all blocked off which was awesome. We got vietnamese sandwiches at Banh Mi which were delicious and 2 for 1 beers at Peter's. I think that's what it was called. Then X and Andy and Will met up w/us. We went to another restaurant. I forget what it's called but I got a super delicious grilled cheese and we all got champagne sangria. then we went over to another park on the water whcih was gorgeous at night. Then we went to a bar called Larry Lawrence and they had Fernet! so I had some of that and finally started to get actually drunk. Andy and Will left and I had a good conversation w/X. Then I heard from the boy from that morning and my neighbor and headed to Sugarland which is a gipster club. We went dancing and had lolz. All the gays were all over X. Then X left and a bunch of us went back over here and kept partying at Jeremy Lee's (my neighbor). We hung out a bit and I was flirting pretty hard w/this guy. He didn't seem to take the hint though and I went home.
June 7th:
woke up super hungover. Got some toast, and slept again until like 6. I got woken up by my roommate sending me a picture mssage of them watching buffy in the living room so of course I got up and went to go watch. I got delivery mexican and we'v ejust been watching buffy ever since.
It's been a good weekend!

May 19th:
Woke up kinda early and did some studying. Everyone was really burned out and I didn't feel like doing much on my own so I just went to the gym. Got the worst insomnia I've ever had that night though :(
(Feist - The Reminder - 1234)
May 20th:
Got 4 hours of sleep :(
Went to take the worst exam evar! Stupid 221 :( There was this method we were supposed to use on the exam that was something we "kind-of" learned at the end of last semester. As in the prof told us it was an old method they used before calculators and we didn't have to go to those lectures and we ddidn't have homework on it and it wasn't on the exam. So yeah that super pissed me off. I could do fully two out of the four problems though so that was better than the midterm.
Afterwards, went home to nap and eat
(Nirvana - MTV Unplugged - Oh, Me)
Then met Shin and Noah for dinner at Not-Rahleigh's. Then to Rasputin to hang out for a bit and then back to the bar to start drinking! Eventually it seemed like most of the people in the program showed up and there were many many pitchers of beer consumed so that was fun :)

Went to the gym, then back here to really clean up the apartment. Then Ben came by to pick up his computer and we went to dinner at Not-Intermezzo. Since then I haven't done much. weeeee.

so my body is freaking out on me! I hate when I get stressed and it does this. I'm breaking out almost as bad as I did when I graduated and my fingers! My fingers! I have two cuts, two spots where it's infected next to the nail, and somehow in a few hours yesterday my fingers got so dry that my skin actually split. It really hurts! There are owies everywhere and it makes it hard to use my fingers and that's really annoying.

Wow I love this song...
anyway..
(The Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning)
(Shin just reminded me of this song and I can't stop listening to it.)
Saturday the 11th:
In the evening I headed over to Megan's for pictionary w/friends and family on the wall in her kitchen they painted w/chalkboard paint. I think it was a better idea in theory....It was tons of fun but man was there a ton of chalk dust. A bunch of people I didn't know came over but they were pretty chill and joined in on the game and it was fun w/a lot of people. Then we headed to Place Pigalle to hang out for a bit and I walked back to Ben's.
Sunday the 12th:
I made Ben Matza Bri since he'd never have it then Ben and I got a bottle of champagne and went down to Dolores Park for the hunky Jesus contest. We met up w/one of ben's co-workers and her husband. It was the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence 30th anniversary and it was a huuuuuge party. It was a lot of fun though. And we got kinda waste-y. Then we went back to Ben's so he could do work and we all kept drinking a lot more. We then went to the street party at Noe and Market. We danced around so that was fun and then they did this awesome show at the top of one of the buildings over looking Noe. We wandered around to a few bars and then over to one of Ben's classmates for what he said was a party. It ended up being super lame though and so we left and got back to Ben's by 10 pm. We watched Raising Arizona and went to bed.
Monday the 13th:
School to do hw, then OH, then went to the gym. Remind me to never ever go to the gym at that time again. At 5:30. All the machines and benches were in use and I had to wait for everything. Then Ben came to pick me up and we went to TJ's, came back, had dinner, and went to bed early.
Tuesday the 14th:
Class for forevers! One of my kids kinda burned himself when I wasn't looking which wasn't really my fault but I freaked out for a bit over it. I went to a lecture that was fairly interesting but I thought it woulda been more relevant to my thesis.
Wednesday the 15th:

Then I went to HOC for thursday night curry and Caitlin regaled us w/tales of the east coast and presented us each w/our own bread in a can! I'm intrigued to try it. I went into the city and hung out at Ben's watching 30 rock and drinking sparks. What could be better? Then I headed out to the Mezz to see The Presets. I saw Chris Buerkle bike over but didn't see him inside. I saw Chris from last.fm and Demetri (correction, now that I see the business card he gave me, he's apparently the Executive Director of Folsom Street Events, who knew?) who I met at the Ladytron show last May. see here: http://simrvr.livejournal.com/2008/06/19/ (Though I think that entry is for my eyes only for some reason). I also saw Monty, Cindy, and Stephanie so yay! I also saw Alex Lambert, he said his night as at Paradise Lounge now. I really ought to go one of these days. I mostly just hung out w/Shin and her friend Jing though. I danced my butt off and had a ton of fun. I love love love them! Then I picked up a frozen pizza cuz I was hungeee.
Friday the 17th:
Woke up late cuz I was hungee overee. this hungee is different than the one I said before though. This one is hung over. Anyway. I went downstairs to do some work at the cafe. I did a little bit. Then went w/Ben to discount fabrics for lolz. He's re-doing his bar. Then I made dinner. yay. Then we cuddled a bit. Then I went to Cafe de Soleil to study some more. Since then I haven't really done much. oh well.

Saturday the 4th:
Met up w/X, Crash, and Crash's girlfriend at Squat and Gobble for breakfast. Ben went to the airport ot pick up his dad so I went to Cafe de Soleil to work on the 227 midterm which was finaly posted. Then back to Ben's to finish it up and fix my backpack. The exam wasn't terribly hard so that was good. Then I walked over to Spense's. When I crossed Geurero this guy in a car was all waving at me but I didn't recognize him so I kept on walking. I found out last night it was James's friend Andrew (I think that's it) who I had met a few weeks before hand at power hour. So I hung out at Spense's for a bit w/the whole fam and had some dinner and then went off to Oakland for Roxy's birthday. I got pretty waste-y so that was fun and danced around. I got to hang out w/some people I hadn't seen in a while but they all left kinda early so that was disappointing. I took the 800 on the way back and the driver was a total douche who just didn't stop for two stops and finally someone went up to him and was like "uh.....yeah......you kinda need to stop"
Sunday the 5th:
Woke up in my own bed and listened to music on my headphones. I haven't been able to do that in ages so that was kinda nice. I love when you're slightly hungover so everything's all soft and nice and listening to music is super nice.
Then I headed over to BART to go over to Golden Gate Field for racing day with Roxy and her roommate Rachel. I'd never been to a race track before sot hat was interesting. It was dollar beers but it was so hard to get a beer that we never really got drunk. I bet once and made $2.10!!! Very exciting, and I got disgusting nachos because, really, I had to. Then I wnet back to Roxy's and she and Rachel and I watched trashy vh1 tv until Ben came to get me. We went to dinner at Thai Noodle II which is quite good and then went to go see Watchmen in Emeryville. I rather liked the movie. It was super melodramatic but that was what I wanted from it. It was also rather beautiful so that was good.
Monday the 6th:
Did OH and one guy showed up but I got a fair amount of work done and went to the gym so yay.
Tuesday the 7th:
School all day = blech. Got some more homework done and then went home. Got to finally do all this uploading for ie that i've been putting off.
Wednesday the 8th:
gym, class, worked on homework. Then went over to Noah's for a seder. Jamie, Tina Fan, Shin, and Hans were there and we made matza ball soup and matza pizza and drank two buck chuck. We video chatted w/Noah's mom and bro so that was adorable and then Noah hid the afikomen and no one could find it. I went over to Roxy's for ANTM and Lost and that was fun as usual. Then I wandered home and futzed on the internet for a while.
Thursday the 9th:
Class, hw, etc. I cleaned up the kitchen a bit which was good and then also my room a bit. I downloaded and uploaded a lot from ie so that made me feel accomplished.
Friday the 10th:
Woke up late so didn't have time to go the gym. Went to class and accidentally confused the hell out of Veronique over what was really a very pointless question. Then I headed over to the city to go have lunch w/Ben, his father, his brother, and his brother-in-law. We went to a Burmese place and I'd never had that type of food before and it was really good so I was happy. Then we went over to Spense and Noe's place to hang out for a bit and then we picked up some things and I showered and went over to Lizzy's for another seder. Turns out James was doing a seder as well so we combined them. Ben had to leave before we could really sit down but we got some matza ball soup at least. A lot of the food ended up being really excellent so that was nice. Then we hung out and drank some more. I tried to help clean up and tried to catch a falling wine glass which shattered in my hand and cut two fingers so that was sucky. By about 11 everyone was exhausted from the huge meal and all the wine and the party stated to wind down so I came back to Ben's.
Satuday the 11th:
So far today we've gotten food and gone to Out of the Closet for lolzy records and so Ben could buy an amp. Weeeeeee.

This show is pretty lolz. I'm enjoying it :)
Wednesday the 1st:
um......went to school and did homework. Went to class and thought it was pointless. Did more homework then the gym! Then went to Chipotle to pick up dinz and met up w/Roxy. ANTM was lolz and so was Lost. Then I went home and actually got work done! I was super surprised.
Thursday the 2nd:
Lots of class. I was tired. Finished up some homework and went to the gym. Went to more class. Realized i'd slept for like an hour and a half of my 4 and a half hours of class. This semester sucks.
Met up w/Ben for thursdays at curry. That was good as usual and then he ran me off home. I didn't have much to do so I finally did some decorating and cleaned up the apartment a bit.
Friday the 3rd:
Slept in cuz I was up late decorating (I'm so retarded sometimes). Went to class, the gsi went over the midterm I did poorly on and even after her lengthy discussion, it still didn't make any sense to me so that was super fun! Then we stood outside and did some more homework and talked about 90s things for prom and I got my prom tickets yay! I get to bring a boy to prom :) Then I went to the gym, yay! I'm kinda getting addicted to it. I feel bad when I don't go and I am happy when I do go. Also it feels good. Also I like the way it's making me look. so.....anyway....
Came into the city and helped ben do some decorating. He's re-doing the living room and adding in a home office nook. Then we got burritos and met his famz at the Pilsner for burrito and beer time. There are always hot guys there so that's nice.
Then I came back here and I've been sitting here watching tv online and lolzing on the internets. I think I've pretty much caught up in every show that i like to watch :) This show has a sassy child and I like that.
