2000 Light Years Away

i think we feel the same way
talking to you is always the highlight of the day for me
the more we talk, the more i like you
and the more i like you, the more frustrating it is that we can't be together
which makes me want to talk to you even more, and so on
it's always entertaining to talk to you
because you're incredibly intelligent and funny, but it's almost to the point of redundancy
i already KNOW you are the most charming person ever
and now i just want to be with you

and the futility of conveying my feelings to you is so exasperating
there's isn't anything i can say
not even if we talked until the sun came up
that a single kiss wouldn't express a million times better
the silence that exists in intimacy
it's so much better than the words we fumble around with

we're so lucky
that miserable part of relationships
that people want to erase is so far down the line
that it's not even worth mentioning
and even if we do get our hearts splattered all over hell
and end up hating each other
i promise i won't erase you

Lucky to be Alive

Hey there!

I'm hanging at work. It's been real slow. It's a lovely day today! Too bad I'm cooped up at the shoppe!

Last night I went to Kimo's to see Microtia, a band that Oliver is touring with. It was really fun and I drank enough to poison a small hippopotamus. I met Oliver's on-again-off-again girlfriend, Brittany, and was pleasantly surprised at how cool she is. Usually ex's ex's and whathaveyou's are awkward and unpleasant. She's cool though. She's totally someone I'd be friends with. Is that weird? I don't care.

Anyway, it was really nice to see Oliver, although, I don't remember really hanging out with him much. He was wearing that suede blazer, so I couldn't get too close. Suede is my least favorite texture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I just typed "hippopotamus" in google and the it said, "Did you mean

hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia ?"

Yeah, That's what I meant.

What up, World?

Long time, no read.

Remember when I didn't have a job and I couldn't get my head out of my butthole? Well now I have three jobs. I'm like a crazy cat lady, but with low-paying jobs. Well, not entirely.

I got a job at Lush Handmade Cosmetics (lush.com). I worked there for just under 3 months before I got fired. Yes, fired. Who gets fired from pretty close the the easiest job? Well, it wasn't that easy. In fact, I don't know why I said that. It was extremely challenging. But what it was is that there's this old, tacky, goth woman who works there that didn't like me. I was too "mainstream" for her! She's gotta be close to 50 years old. She's got dry skin. She's gross. Inside and out. Unfortunately she deleted her facebook, otherwise I'd post it. It's bad.

Anyway, who cares? Because not even a week later I got a job at Spectacles Shoppe in Union Square. It's where I get all my glasses. My boyfriend knows the owner, Kevin, he is rad and Zach worked there for a little minute a couple years ago. Anyway, it sort of fell into my lap and I am very thankful. I get to hang out and sell specs to weirdos.

I also work at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market on Saturdays and Thursdays for these lox guys called Cap'n Mike's Holy Smokes. The owners, Cap'n Mike and Sally Hiebert are awesome and the people I work with are rad. I feel very lucky to have met them.

Anyway, Cannons & Clouds are playing a show tonight at the Knockout. It was put together by this lady who is on the board for the Treasure Island music festival, apparently. I think they're doing some sort of show case. Davey's band, Monoliths, is playing too.
