rambling and catching up

[bryiarrose]

after neglecting my computer something fierce for a few days, i'm now caught up on the 250-some backposts that made up my friends page. with that out of the way, i need to wish swirlinglilies, ej, and wonderhorn very happy belated birthdays. i hope you all have wonderful years. next comes my whining about amojojo being in town and me not realizing until now when i'm supposed to be getting mad amounts of work done and then running off to chicago somehow. i wanna play with the cool kids! even the cool kids who are here all the time that i don't get to see... it makes me wonder what i've done with my break. the answer i've been giving most often when people ask? i say i've been sleeping. because i have. sleeping and working, though not working as well or maybe as much as i should have been. i have no self-discipline, but then this is old news.
lots of things i've been meaning to post about... the $50 in chipotle gift certificates i got for christmas (and avocados in my stocking), the parents-aren't-home type party that went on in my house last night until nearly six a.m. and kept waking me up, how my car and computer both seem to be behaving a bit better but still make me nervous (the car bit hindering my decisiveness re: chicago), christmas eve stories, my gorgeous new hair cut/color, getting to see mike and elisa and going to cafe barbette, plus a slew of other things. but right now i'm craving food and watching moby dick on tv in hopes of finding the bit of inspiration i still need for my paper, and so won't go into details.
it's gloomy and windy out today, and though i need a couple of things at the store i really don't want to go out. then again, not starting my car could be a very bad thing, so i probably will at some point. terribly interesting, i know.

i really should see amojojo and notmonochrome & nicepersonality at some point because i have stuff for them. amo, if i don't get to see you while you're here i can send you yours. yes.

oh, don't worry. i'll be there one way or another. it's just the leaving and the coming back bits that are still up in the air (and driving sash crazy i think because she's hoping to come back with me). likely i'll get there late monday or sometime tuesday and leave saturday morning. not definite because it's baring other car problems. but yeah. i'll be there. don't worry.

I could probably spend $50 at Chipotle on a single visit. Mmmm... beer...
