I crack up every time I think of it. And I do this a lot. KILLS me.

In other news, the job is going well and school, so far, is pretty much under control. I have to make more of an effort to do the assigned reading way before the night before the class, but hell, at least I'm getting it done.

Two friends of mine recently moved into a house they bought together. I've thought about it and I don't know if I'll ever be in a place where I can throw caution (and money) to the wind and make that kind of commitment. Don't get me wrong, my girlfriend is absolutely perfect and she gets me, but still, the whole Buying A House Together thing is something I'm not prepared to do for a million reasons. I did, however, throw some of my clothes in with hers at the laundromat recently, so that's progress.

My birthday is in 14 days and for whatever reason, more than usual, I behave like a child as that day approaches. I'm exicted for this year's festivities, which include getting out of town for a few days with the gf and a few friends. The other day someone asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told them that I want cake, fun and sarcasm, in no particular order. There's not one THING that I want or need right now, which is both satisfying and scary. I always buy myself something for my birthday and this year, after my brakes failed on the way to NY, I figured getting them repaired would be a pretty decent present. Last year I bought myself a ring that I'd been admiring in a store for a while and that made me very happy. A week later I had a complete nervous breakdown, took 6 weeks off from work and spent a lot of time feeling sorry for myself. It's amazing how things have turned around in such a relatively short period of time. Blah blah blah.

I've been trying to get caught up on past seasons of The Sopranos, what with the new season starting in March and all. NOW I know what everyone was rattling on & on about for years at work. The only downside to having HBO On Demand is that my new mantras have become "Just one more episode and then I'll study" and "If I watch one more, just to find out what happens next, I'll sleep better." I think I'm in over my head, it's sort of like an addiction but you know, I can quit at ANY time. I can. Really. Swear to Christ.

BTW, Sundaygirl: I was in NY recently but didn't manage to get to Manhattan. Clearly, the Gods Of Fun were working against us. Next time, promise.

xo,
Swan
