September can't be here soon enough. on September 12th, the Big E (aka the Eastern States Exposition) opens, and I plan on going on the 18th. then, the following week, on September 23rd..

..I leave for Portland, OR!!

eight blissful days away from this miserable state with one of the most amazing people in the world I just spent the past hour or so looking up stuff to do in Portland, and I found some pretty interesting stuff. the only things I really care to actually make sure we see (Josh, hint hint..) are: the Japanese Gardens, the Chinese Garden, and the Oregon Zoo. maybe The Grotto, because it looks magnificent.

in other news, work sucks. we're moved into the new apartment and the cable was installed yesterday (the Internet was installed yesterday courtest of myself, after being on the phone for two damn hours with Comcast). yaaaay. all the messages and what not are amazing, and I have over 600 deviations to look at (and you know I'll be looking at them all!).

alright. time to go. everyone, have a good week

I not only want to get out of here, I need to get out of here. I need to leave this state far behind. I know I'm not meant to live here. the people here are so mean, so vile, and so unhappy. they're stuck here. I refuse to let myself be stuck here.

I move Saturday. I went to storage today and found my Polaroid. VeraAda shared her secret with me about doing double exposures on my Spectra II, so I hope to start messing with that soon. I also found the bamboo journal I bought from Barnes&Noble.

this just means I'm on the right track. it took me a little while, but I'm getting there. the things I want to do, I will be doing.

thank god.

yeah, I'm watching America's Funniest Home Videos. so what?


currently on my mind:
Portland, OR
Manchester, CT
DamThatRiver
vacation to Portland, OR
billiards
vacation
Portland, OR


music time.

through no real fault of my own, I am officially screwed.




on top of having to move twice in one month.




wow. this is going to get very interesting...

I've worked for five days straight. I have a day off tomorrow. but it will be spent cleaning my damn apartment. Jeremy is showing the apartment Monday night, and it has to be at the very least somewhat presentable. sweet.

but! Brian is coming down and I can't tell you how excited I am. we've been doing the long-distance "just friends" thing lately, because we weren't sure if we'd ever get to hang out. but now we can. and, on top of him coming down to help and hang out tomorrow, he wants to take me to Boston on Thursday.

yeah. I've been smiling. alot lately. and I like it.

but I'm scared. very, very scared.

let's just see how it goes...
