| halloween in new york |
[07 Nov 2006|11:14pm] |
i had heard that it was about the same as Times Square at New Year's.
but you know.
i have never personally witnessed that
so i have no comparison really.
i can say this.
there was a point i had to escape into the subway to catch a train uptown just to be able to BREATHE!
but it was fascinating.
( halloween parade. )

what a nice break this is.
working only part-time
clearing my head
sending out my resume
walking to the post office
with my scarf wrapped around my neck.
a great weekend leading to an even greater week
where an impulsive decision helped me to see that i can spend my days in happiness
i feel
calm
the little mermaid came in the mail today
so i was able to get some knitting done.
it was just as wonderful as i remember

i burn lavendar incense in the bathroom every night
and what does it mean
it brings me peace
it clears the air
but only mostly leaves my nose itchy
a pensive movie left me in a pensive mood
and so i knit to [[hopefully]] yann tiersen lulling me to sleep slowly
if i can find it.

he will carry me
he will carry me carry me carry me
he was fortune teller
[[to listen to more lovely concretes please buy cd]]
i painted some of my nails black
and did a little experiment on my hair
now waiting for it to dry, it may do something else entirely.
last night i became entirely too depressed thinking about how little i've done in this city
so tonight i am going to a performance at the Chocalate Factory in L.I.C. right down the street from the tea shop!
it is a piece called Right After, a performance inspired by the late and beautiful Eva Hesse.
one of my 'favourites'.
supposedly i had this strange idea in my head that she died [[fairly young]] from poor ventilation, and working many years with fiberglass. only come to find out it was a brain tumor. still very tragic.
sculpture. by eva hesse
accompanied by some friends, this will be fantastic. [[i only wish beth were coming...i know she would appreciate this]]

remember when we were kids and i thought i could really fly across that sandbox?
or maybe it was just the rug in the entryway
with a giant foam matress
for wrestling.
guitar in the next room
it's already noon
on my paid day off
my first week of salary
and it's all become real
becoming real
besmoming smeal
i don't know.
i just know
that i'm truly happy
truly where i want to be
exactly where i want to be
muffled sounds
brunch time maybe in a small diner a couple blocks away
and i'll go with my hair wet and fingernail polish coming off
i laughed so hard at that letter he wrote to his mom
hoping someday i'll get a letter like that
[[good posture good posture]]
if i'm lucky.
pumas today for good back feelings.
hot water did some good i must say.
still no computer at home yet.
hopefully that will be fixed soooooon.
very soon.
i miss my michigander loves.

concretes in my head |

this keyboard is so strange and yet
it's the only one i can really use to update
i was going to try to venture to the library today before they closed
but alas
the nice black leather couch called to me
even the television sounded nice today
yes oh yes
the internet is not working at my apartment
and i feel so strange updating this silly journal at work
so i don't.
eff's roommate and friend are watching CQ in the living room
i saw that 4 years ago and it brings back strange memories
i am a workaholic
but soon to have one day off a week
and then even a weekend.
won't that be nice.
i starve for it.

it's almost a full moon
or maybe the full moon has already passed
5 whole days have gone by in a blink
and i almost so sick i missed them completely
the night is so beautiful
i sat on the balcony for awhile
reading my book by candlelight
but i still can't get into it
100 pages in
i thought maybe i'd really love it by now
without a bookshelf full of attractive books
i long for an open library
water light
my parents came and went
their first queens experience
even tho i was sick [[and we spent most of friday morning at the hospital]]
the conversation and company was just what i needed
riding the subway again tomorrow

i'm getting a bike!
it's being fixed up for me so i can pick it up tomorrow after work.
enn brought me to the cutest bike shop in brooklyn [[questionably all of new york]]
and i fell in love with a vintage kelly green Puch.
it was buried underneath 20 or 30 tires, just waiting to breathe.
i haven't taken it for a test spin yet, but i will tomorrow.
oh indeed i will.
it is the perfect city bike.
upright handlebars, fenders, female, and a bit beat up already.
i will eventually get a bell, a light, a helmet and a basket for the front and possibly the back.
pictures tomorrow!
( in the meantime. )

my parents are far across the sea
and i only wish i was seeing ireland with them
things i noticed today:
.a dominant pigeon protecting his territory
.coffee anywhere in this city is amazing
.i'm not the girl i used to be [[and that is such a good thing]]
.people can be honest sometimes
.he looks at me quite a bit
.i really love 'still breathing' and
.it keeps me hoping
"There are two things I always wanted to believe in but didn't dare. One is that there was one man, somewhere, who was made just for me. The other is that I just might deserve him."
..this song is dedicated to my mother my hero...

i love looking up into the new york city sky and finding that one star i can always find.
from queens it's right above manhattan
and in manhattan it's always right over head
it has to be the same star.
and that is one strong star.
i love walking and walking and admiring apartments with green roofs and fire escapes
i love bumping into people i just met and found out they live 2 doors down from me
i love random phone calls and meeting new girls to go yarn shopping with
i seriously love.
