So I pull my collar up and face the cold...

I've been listening to a lot of smashing pumpkins today... (hence the title). i'm not sure what it is about the pumpkins, but i crave them at 2 very specific times of the year-- the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
it seems like that first night in august, that night when it gets just a little chilly and you need a sweatshirt, that i need the smashing pumpkins more.
and then i kinda put them away for a while until that first day (usually mid to late november) when it gets really cold, when you pull out the gloves and hats and bundle up in scarves.

i wonder what it is about the pumpkins that ties them to that first chill down your body...

stay warm.

a text is not a date

dear boy,
we went out twice in less than 5 days (1st and 2nd date) and it was great, and all.

and then you "got sick" and i haven't seen you in a few weeks. so there is not reason for your daily text messages. this isn't 5th grade--- that doesn't count as a date. so we're not dating.

so either take me out again ASAP. or leave me alone.

xoxo
g

ps- normally i'd say just leave me alone, but you're really cute. so get your shit together. pls. thnx.

i can't help but wonder, in a city where you can get ANYTHING prepared, is it really bad to get a little "help" when cooking???

i mean, do i really want to waste time chopping/dicing/slicing when i can just pour...

I find it incredibly irritating that my date tonight is totally un-googlable... and, it would seem, not on facebook... wtf... who is that invisible???

i mean, i can't find ANYTHING on this guy... and that's slightly creepy...

oh well. we shall see how the date goes...

dear world,
it'd be really great if you could kick me in the face just a little less this week.

thanks a million,
g

sad face...

I feel so left out from pop culture right now.
I just don't care about Harry Potter... and I'm not camping out for Eclipse tickets..
Just don't really care...

And I really don't care about World Cup either... I'm sorry, I don't...

it makes me sad...

jordan catalano...

I think perhaps that my unrealistic expectations of men stem from my deeply founded love of Jordan Catalano. For those of you who don't obsess over short-lived 90s TV shows, Jordan was the love interest of one Miss Angela Chase on My So-Called Life. One of the greatest TV shows. EVER. (Ok, it was hardly quality programming, but I friggen love it.)

Jordan was the too-cool for school badass grunge rocker (played by Jared Leto) with his perfectly imperfect messy hair, bad attitude and a locker-lean that could melt your heart...

sigh...

Anyway, so it is this obsession that has lead me to multiple crushes and boyfriends. And they're all the same. They don't "make plans" and they don't tell me anything (except for whatever it is I want to hear) and yet I keep going back. Because I just can't stay away.

I keep thinking that they'll change, or make plans with me, or call, or maybe, just maybe write me a letter... or maybe one from hell...

Happy Summer!
YAY!

had an awesome weekend. Burning Man masquerade party... good times.


a long time ago a friend told me that the people who don't like "games" are the people who suck at playing them... and i must admit, he's right.

i'm bad at games. so stop playing them with me and my mind. please.
thanks.

hello wisconsin!

Was in Milwaukee, WI over the weekend for a wedding... which was.. interesting (the wedding, not the city.)

Milwaukee was super fun. Drank a ton of beer, ate tons of bread and cheese. YUM! And our last night there we took a drunken tripto see the Bronze Fonz (yes, it's real. And yes, it's really awesome!) It took us a while to locate it (other trip members had visited it while on the bachelor party, so their memory was... not so good.)

And did I mention how cheap everything was? AMAZING!

But I'm glad to be back in New York. As fun as it was, I would kill myself if I lived there all year -- I cannot even imagine the winters. Yuck.

first kisses...

VP: he kissed me on his roof deck and it was ALL OVER after that.
GS: He is HOT
but i love that
i love when all it takes is one kiss
1 simple kiss and then it's all over...
VP: siggghhh
i love first kisses
GS: i miss them
VP: when will i love a boy more than first kisses?
GS: ohhhh... aye, there's the rub
VP: haha
GS: i think that's going to be it.
VP: people are getting engaged... i'm not even dreaming secretly of my own wedding.
GS: that's when you know it's IT-- when you no longer dream about more first kisses

Now that my black pumas have finally bit the dust, i think i need these. i think they're a lovely replacement.

yay.
