some things that i forgot to say
first and foremost, i forgot to mention that because of the mattress and pillow allergy covers we bought over the weekend our bed now feels like sleeping in a giant diaper. or a hospital bed. the covers we bought were not plastic pee covers but something in between cotton and vinyl but it's just not cuttin' it. ya know?
dia-pers. gross.
hey, remember when we had that one earthquake? the nisqually? REMEMBER? okay let me remind you. we were in highschool still. senior year. ring a bell? okay i'll keep going. we were in 4th period CWP with mr. caldwell. out in those awful portable buildings. remember? it was like "portable city" out there. so we were in CWP and we were doing some kind of group project thing where everyone switches seats and sits somewhere else with a group of people to work on something. for some reason everyone needed to stand up to do the assignment. (btw, having 25 kids walking around a portable is its own little earthquake.) and (oh yeah, btw again, the fattest/most popular kid in the school was also in the class. NOW do you remember?) so anyway everyone is standing up and the room starts to shake and everyone just stood there. nobody got under any desks. they just stood still. then everyone filed outside to sit in that back football field. for like 4 hours or something. i think i had my lunch in my bag which happened to be ham and swiss on marble rye. i could be wrong though. i don't remember what happened after that except that after a while they let us go inside and finish the day like nothing happened.
check out some pictures. looking at these seems so weird because i don't remember having much damage in m-ville. at home or at school. it's also weird to think of it as "no big deal". because you know, if had lasted any longer or was any stronger it would have been much worse. kinda scary.
on that note, i will go start my chores and maybe do some sewing simultaneously.

i just got back from dropping off resumes at places with my friend james. we applied at marc jacobs and they interviewed us later in the day. i put that i expected 11 an hour and she told me to aim high. so i put 14 and she said it was still low. so i put 17 and we get 2 percent commission. then i took the subway home and went to the library. on the walk back from the library through this neighborhood that i don't belong in, i got kind of bummed out that i have to live here for another eleven months. it's so crazy that i might be working at this really fancy boutique and living in the ghetto. i'm the only white person on the bus and the subway and the street. and usually the people in my apartment building are nice, but when i got home this big thug guy with his cute little daughter just stared at me while i was walking in. i smiled as i went past and said "hi" to his daughter, but incidentally they live above me and they're making all kinds of racket. i think i need to eat something because my malnourished brain is making me all nuts.
