I hope I don’t find myself alone again. Egotistical and very highschool, I’m aware - but I’m in highschool and I need to have an ego once and a while.
When the ball drops, I just don’t want to be alone. I don’t want to start off this new year the way I’ve started out every other one… because that hasn’t seemed to work out very well in the past.

I have 12.1 days worth of music in my iTunes library.
I have 13.1 days. I’m at 5400 songs exactly!
I too have 13.1 days! Life is better with a soundtrack.
Is it here?

I woke up this morning as miserable as could be, and assumed that it was going to be another depressing day.
But today was…awesome. I don’t think I have smiled that much in months. I think I was genuinely happy; I had forgotten what that felt like. Have I reached the end of it? I can only hope so, but only time will tell.
YAY. Does this mean I get a lot of best friend points?...

My parents both voted for Obama, yet they speak of him as if he’s not what they wanted… “Well, we’ll see what Obama does to the economy” “Maybe you can go visit colleges if Obama can keep the country running long enough”
Hilarious

(Ssssh - I’m tumbling at work, so I haven’t actually listened to this yet, but I’m enthralled by the idea and some of the contributors…posting now, to be enjoyed later)
“USA For Affluence”, featuring the musical contributions of Battles, LCD Soundsystem, New Pornographers, Okkervil River, Moby, Andrew W.K. and others.
Reminiscing.

One of those times where you sit back in your chair because something - a photo, an expression, a familiar phrase, the inflection your friend just put on the very end of the word “Charlemange” - stopped you and got you thinking. Thinking about a moment very familiar to you, but far-off and distant now.
And so, far off in the cobwebs, you start digging; trying to find whatever it...

I feel like when I reach out to touch tings that I’ll never be able to reach them, they are an infinite time lapse and infinite distance away. I will never reach ther destination which I seek but I don’t know if that’s inherently a bad thing. Even when I make that contact its just that part of my body, just my skin. Not my soul. Not my person. Its not really me. Its just an...

Customer Service
Me: Well, my phone isn't working. I've sent it in at least twice before, and last time I called they told me I would get a blackberry if my phone had any more issues within 90 days.
Sidekick technician: OH! Well, Ms. Hockensmith. Let's walk you through some arbitrary tests of your phone to make you annoyed because I don't believe you.
Me: Ugh, okay.
Sidekick technician: Well, press D shift alt 34 @ all at the same time please, it will reboot your system.
Me: It didn't work.
Sidekick technician: Well, hm. Uh. Well, let's see. The computer says that you need to go through one more sidekick before we give you a new phone.
Me: What? No. The guy at the store said the same thing as the guy we phoned last time. This is my trade up time.
Sidekick technician: Hopefully you'll be so annoyed by this process that you'll never bother us again. I mean, um... sorry! T-Mobile puts customer satisfaction at the top of our priority list. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Me: -grumble-
Sidekick technician: Thanks for calling Customer Service!
Don't make me

I don’t want to go back. I really, really don’t. It’s not even like I have been having the best time here. In fact, I have been my normal, depressing, miserable self for most of the break. Still, going back to school makes everything become seven times more difficult.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I dropped out before the end of this term. Oh well. I’ve got 4 more days here. If...
