hey wow it's been a while. not too much has changed.

my friend at work quit, Friday's her last day. that makes four people that have left in the past two months. it's really making going into work a lot harder because there are no fun people around. and they've yet to fill a single position so the work load keeps increasing. tomorrow we are getting noodles and company because i won a free lunch there. i hope they don't recognize us from the last time we went there for the free lunch.

on the boy scene there's not much to report, as usual. i met a cutie when i was working at the Pat's Pizza tent for Taste of Lincoln Ave on sunday. he got my number but he hasnt called yet. surprise surprise. when you actually want them to call they dont.

got my hair did today. wearing purple. life's good.
tomorrow we are going out for drinks after work for someone's last day. i'm already over hating bars haha. i knew i'd feel better in a few days.



I finished Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides today. I really really enjoyed it. I love his writing style and the content of the book was really interesting. I have wanted to read this book for years. One of my professors at U of I recommended it to us. Our class was based on the cultural "freak" and everything we read was really different and interesting. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Strangely enough the summer after that class I noticed my boyfriend at the time's mom had the book sitting out on their coffee table. I asked about it and she told me she was reading it and I could borrow it when she was finished. A few weeks later she still hadn't said anything to me about the book so I asked her if she had finished it. She told me that she did read it, but she hated it. She didn't recommend it, but if i wanted to borrow it I could. Her complete disgust for the book discouraged me from taking it. Still, every time I passed the black and white cover in a book store I still contemplated purchasing it.
Finally, a couple weeks ago, armed with an awesome Borders coupon, I took the plunge and bought it along with a shitty book, Falling is Like This by Kate Rockland (is that her real name?). I am really happy with one of my decisions from the purchase.

Happy Monday! i'm trying to put myself in a positive mood today. my weekend made me pretty much lose faith in humanity and it was actually really depressing. i have decided to take a break from bars because of this weekend. it really opened my eyes.
i am usually such a happy person, and feeling this way isn't me at all. i am just trying to surround myself with comforting thoughts and people. i should be fine in a day or two.

i am more than halfway through the book, Middlesex. i am really enjoying it so far. the different generations makes it feel like im reading several books in one.

well, back to work.
