not exactly lonely...

i'm a little drunk tonight. and i think it kind of crept up on me.
stayed home most of the night, even skipped the performance of the 24-hr play (ie staying up, doing lines, what would your mother say). i've been very anti-social all day. no real explanation. eric brought me over to the cast party at dixon for half an hour or so. i wasn't really comfortable there though, and was perfectly happy to come home again when he wanted to leave (he's been off working on comps most of the weekend so far btw-- his talks are Monday and Thursday). still, making an appearance was worthwhile. it was good to see moros for a second, and to hear what he's up to. it sounds like he's finally figuring stuff out. which is definitely a good thing. stayed outside during "like a prayer" and well. yeah. i can't describe what's up with me. something. but i'm home now, finishing the drink i made for myself to take in the tub earlier. and i'm tipsy. and it's good.

on an entirely different note, at some point in the last few days, trav asked if he could have a haircut sometime soon. this is good. very good. not that i don't love the long hair, because i do. but he needs a little help with it.

i don't know what i want to do now. wish i had someone to bug or talk to or something. not that i'm all of a sudden feeling social, just that i've been by myself most of the day, and yeah.

i also can't figure out for the life of me how much my speeding ticket is for. damn it. if they're going to take my money, it would at least be helpful to know how much of it they want. and i still haven't found my cell phone. may head up to see my family tomorrow and see if my dad has or can help with finding a new one. grr. i'm feeling somewhat cut off without it. which just makes me feel silly. but you get used to not having to worry about long-distance. you know? i should also attempt to talk about computers with my dad again. i don't know. but mine is sketchy.

in case anyone else we both know hasn't heard, my friend ernie is engaged. and i think it's fabulous. makes me very happy. very very happy. so many engagements lately it seems like. i mean, not really. but still. two counts as so many doesn't it?

i'm going to stop typing now. i've babbled more than enough.

hair cut? woo! now, just casually pass on the information that Cosmo says, "A new study shows that men who don't shave every day have less sex and are 70% more likely to suffer a stroke." because I'm betting he still hasn't shaved, has he?

and ernie engaged? *our* ernie? okay. now I've finally got to break down and be nosy and ask, because I know she went to Carleton, right? who's this girlfriend? it's been making me crazy not knowing and he and I parted on such bad terms after his graduation that I couldn't ask. and also. yes. good for him. I'm glad so many of our friends are happy.

Yeah, who is she?

he still hasn't shaved, but he did at least trim it a little bit. still looks terrible though. eric volunteered his clippers so that i could get rid of it. my new plan though, is to get his roommates to find out what model his razor is and have everyone chip in a quarter to buy a new charging cord for it (since he claims that's the problem) off ebay or someplace. i don't know. we'll see.

and yes our ernie. i don't know her either... i think she's class of '01 or '02 though. i'll see if i can go look her up based on what i know.

alright went and looked it up... anya harvey. not sure what year she graduated, but she works in admissions currently. you can even find her picture in the directory.

can alums access that at all? logging in like you're off-campus or whatever?

at any rate, as far as i've been able to tell, she makes him terribly happy. and that's always a good thing.

'01. History major. I looked her up in the alumni directory online (and yes, we can access the campus directory, too). I'm glad he's happy; my relationship with him was so complex and I treated him really poorly, particularly spring term of my junior year when I was just a wreck myself. I've told you the story about spring concert that year, and stopping at ernie's room on my way home from Olaf, only to use his phone to leave a hysterical message on Adrian's voicemail, saying that I needed him and only him, right? Yeah. I was horrible to ernie and he deserves way better than I ever gave him so I'm glad he's happy. Yes. Tell him I said so if you talk to him, okay?

As far as the facial hair goes, did you ever see Zach McGowan's beard? It was in the same place as Trav's, but he kept it trimmed really close and it looked good. So it's not like Trav has to get rid of it altogether (although I do prefer him clean shaven, though I love the longer hair, especially if he lets you trim it some) but he should keep it neatly trimmed. And make sure that as long as it's neatly trimmed, he doesn't have any scraggly stuff on the rest of his face, either. Silly boy.

I would throw in some money for that effort, by the way.
