Everybody Is Trying To Be His Friend
Birthday in less than 17 days! Despite my love of the countdown, this year feels like a non-event for me.
I'm marginally amused that I'm not doing much to uncomplicate my life, despite a nice little run of quiet I had there. Of all the boys in NYC that I could have a) a crush on and b) want me for...something besides my big, entertaining brain, it would have to be roommates. Ugh. Extracting myself from that situation with no one but me (and you, my delightful non-them readers) knowing about it is going to be interesting. Good thing I was playing Girl Scout for a while there because it'll be a lot easier since nothing's gone on all around. I don't really want to bother with either of them. A girl would like to be surprised and swept off her feet for a change. That's not happening with either of them.
In many ways, I'm pretty much mentally checked out of the city. As it stands, I'm either finding something new to do that's awesome and well-paying or staying where I'm at working up towards a move in the spring. Top 3 destinations: LA, DC, or SF with LA being the front runner. But I'm starting to downplay that since the idea is making (almost) everyone I know foam at the mouth. To answer the inevitable "why?!" I'm getting from everyone, I just want a change of scenery. It might be millions strong, but it seems like my little hometown more times than not and I'm at a place where I'd rather miss it. It's starting to feel clastrophobic. Either everything I remember comes rushing back when I go certain places or I end up feeling down because so much has changed. And there's the constant turning a corner and seeing a HS or college person, a failed date, a former coworker, some random I met once at 2am in a backroom. I want to go where I don't have such a layered history. Just for a little while. And if I hate it, the city will always take me back.

Like Back In The Day, Love
Winter '07 faves:
-- that damned song/video. I guess I wasn't watching VH1 Soul enough when that came out the first time. And I'll admit to a perverse pleasure in singing "no not any more!"
-- Dragons of Zynth. The trick is getting my shit together to get to one of this month's residency shows.
-- Nino Moschella
-- The Let's Mix Love mix with the greatest opening song I've heard in a while.
-- The stupid word blipster and the great site it has spawned.
-- Actually enjoying myself at parties again. It was bound to happen I guess.
-- How fun it is when the shoe is on the other foot. Gotta love the boys who didn't give a shit months ago suddenly having a change of heart. Tough shit, babes. You missed the bus.
-- Kings of Tomorrow "Finally" and its 10,000 all awesome remixes.
-- Jay's video entries
-- "Nothing says birthday like free shit and porn and open bars!" 4 weeks! And we're going to meat heaven this year. The countdown begins.
