your drug is a heartbreaker
i’ve been kinda sad the past few days. part of it is this tsunami business. i mean i know that people die and stuff but a lot of it really just messes with me. these people died of things like drowning (obvious) or the force of being slammed into the ground by these waves. can you imagine that? yikes. it’s so shitty. and then whats worse is that now pakistan is giving aid to india. which is good, y’know, we should aid our neighbors. but i hate it that it takes a tsunami to make nations get past their differences. and some of the countries are now allowing NGOs in which they hadn’t done before. so that’s good. and maybe something grand will come of it but it worries me a lot. there is a poem on my opendiary and the poetry section of my blog entitled “the ocean falling like bombs” that’s about this peace at time of tragedy. it’s eery.
christmas went incredibly well. i only asked for three things really and i got all of them. ie. a 320+ cd case. and i have it filled. i do have dvds and software/backup-files in the back of it but still. there are 320 disks in that folder. its crazy to think that i have that many. i need to sit down and put them in alphabetical order so that i can find them easier than now but its nice to have them all collected and protected. i also got milk thistle face moisturizer from bath and body works and a true blue spa pedicure set too. plus money for suits.
i got a bunch of clothes and things that were nice and i kept a hoodie and one of those shawl-esque contraptions all the cool kids are wearing. also, mom got me leather shoes which i thought was really funny. what pissed me off about the shoes most was that i think they’re really damn cute and i can’t keep them (i already returned them) because they’re leather. and that sucks. but i know that they have nonleather pairs at kohls for not too much more. so perhaps i’ll replace them.
i spent 70 dollars on two bras from victoria’s secret with the return money (some of it). like whoa. when i’m not wearing them that seems like a lot of money but then i put one on and i remember why $36 doesn’t seem like such an exorbant amount of money for one undergarment. agh. but really. i’ve never had such a comfortable experience in something that includes an underwire. rock on victoria’s secret.
on monday i lost my cellular telephone. file this under devastating in the jess’ life category. god damn. it sucks. and then i get pissed that i rely so heavily on the cellphone. i think mostly though i’m just sad that i lost the entire contact list. yesterday i was really upset because i’d lost all of the contacts and it looked like it was going to cost about 200+ dollars to get a replacement phone. now, however, it appears that the cost will be about 140 for a camera phone. rock on, my friends. this is good news. and i remembered that cingular keeps track of every number i call ever which is even better news because now i can find people like andy and daniel and pat on past bills. so hooray. and i’m not nearly as upset as i was and its kinda turned into a good thing. i don’t think i’d be upset about not having it if i were in college its just that i have to check in so much with mom or she gets upset and i hate having to think about when i’m going to be home because i know that she can’t get ahold of me if she needs something or if she wakes up and freaks out because its 2 am and i am not here.
as an aside. i am more than ready to move back into the dorms.
