a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

It's my sister's birthday today. She's 17 and I remember when she was born and that will never stop being weird.

It's also egosomnio's birthday. Happy birthday, egosomnio! We should look into, you know, meeting up again sometime. Once every year and half just isn't that great a number for me. :p

My uncle wants me to come up to Boston for Thanksgiving. My stepfather wants me to come with him and my sisters to his parents' house in Florida for Thanksgiving. I'm not particularly inclined to do either, but I'm afraid if I don't do one of them, I won't get any Thanksgiving dinner at all, and that would be sad for me. Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday. I'm used to getting three separate Thanksgiving dinners, people. THREE. (Of course, I don't really want my third option, which is to have Thanksgiving with my dad's new family. Which reminds me, I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen my baby sister in the almost-year she's been alive. In case you were wondering, that number is four.)

UGH. DELIMA.

I've been informed that Regina Spektor is playing a free show in Baltimore tomorrow night. I kinda want to go, but I don't really want to go by myself. Also, it's at 6pm, and I'm not sure I'd make it in time. Hmmmm. But, you know, free. I'm not sure I should pass that up.

Annnnd, I have to work tonight. I went into New York & Co. last night and they're hiring and I picked up an application, but I don't know if I'm really up for switching jobs right before Christmas. Maybe I'll see what the pay is and make a decision from there. Actually, I should just find a better paying retail job, everyone will be hiring right about now. Blehhh. It's just too much work. I'm too tired to try and make friends again.

On the plus side, I have this Saturday off. I was thinking of taking the metro into DC and doing a little museum-hopping. I haven't been to the museums since we saw the Dada exhibit, and I haven't been alone in longer than I can remember. I'm hoping it'll be a good way to spend some quality Heather-time with myself, rather than sitting at home and watching DVDs. :p

I'm feeling very brain-jumbled today. I could go for a nice long coma nap.

Go see Regina Spektor! She's amazing live! And it's FREEEEEEE!

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I want to try and go. And even if I miss the show, it's not like there's not plenty to do for a couple of hours in the city. :p

Danke, dear.
Yeah. I think I should become a roaming nomad. For one, bill collectors wouldn't know where to find me. Which is always a plus. More importantly, I'd actually see my friends who don't live in/around Reading.

I've been thinking about that all day. How difficult would it be to just up and run? No fixed address means no bill collectors, yeah? :p

Regardless. Nomad your way down here. Alternately, when Racheal gets back on the correct coast, we'll nomad our way slightly closer to you.

well FYI you probably already know, but I'll be on the shore from Friday night to Sunday night, so you get the place to yourself if you do decide you do want to watch whatever DVDs at whatever volume you want, hehe. But day in DC sounds fun.

I think you should apply for NY & Co. b/c why stay at B&N if you don't like it, plus it would probably be more money and you would get discount on the clothes you already love to buy.

Well, I'm working Friday and Sunday, so, I won't be around much either. :)

For a minute yesterday, when I got the application, it seemed like really good idea. But I dunno, I didn't get a really friendly vibe off the women who work there, you know? Plus, at least at B&N I can use my discount to buy Christmas presents. Not so much at NY&C. :p I'm gonna think about it a little more.

If you're in DC we should hang out some. Alone time is good. Alone time is great. Hanging out with Aster for lunch/dinner/a drink and a dvd before/after/in between alone time could also be great, or at least good, though.... maybe?

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I think it could be potentially lots and lots of fun to meet up for dinner/drinks in DC somewhere. I think we should do that. Or even movies that night. Or anything really. :)
