in the days of kings and queens I was a jester...

I am sitting at work, attempting an internship application and lusting after cigarettes. Two regulars are working, and one of my coworkers is helping one of them. The guy my coworker is helping always has 523,763,936,034 questions for her, basically because he is in love with her, and has been since last semester. The other regular has a constant blurting problem.

Blurting Lady (BL): do you have a girlfriend?
Guy: ....what?
BL: Do you have a girlfriend?
Guy: Are you applying for the position?
BL: no, but just ask her out already, I can't concentrate with you over there!

I thought I was going to defecate my pants. I silently laughed for a solid couple minutes.

And now BL is trying to talk him up to my coworker. LMAO. Life is wonderful.

I was working on my internship application to This American Life. I am so excited and so scared. I know I can do this though. If I got this, this would be six shades of epic and perfect and omg yes please.

Austin can wait. Athens will wait.

I think its time to cut these ever-tightening plastic bracelets.

Don't tell anyone that I have been creeping Offbeat Bride.

I think my toes are slightly fused/webbed. I noticed yesterday. Is it piercing time?

The letters will come. The future will come.

While we're at it, we can work it night by night. (but only by the night)

So the year is new and my wanderlust is raging.

Here is a list of places I think would be epic to live in:

- Athens, GA (college town. University of Georgia. Bulldogs. Home of REM and the B-52's. I'm pretty fucking jazzed about it.)
- Austin, TX (another college town. University of Texas. Longhorns. Home of SXSW. Still fucking jazzed about it.)
- Chicago, IL (My heart. My Love. Columbia. Northwestern. Home of my love, romantic and otherwise. Slightly less jazzed than before but still pretty jazzed.)
- Minneapolis, MN (Chuck Klosterman mentioned it. University of Minnesota. The school has nothing I want, except a professional certificate in Experimental Surgery. Home of The Replacements and Atmosphere.)
- Toronto, ON (University of Toronto. The Blue and White. Home of charming accents. Four hours from home.)
- St. Louis, MO (University of Missouri St. Louis. Who the fuck knows. Home of the most visually interesting people I've ever seen.)

And there's more but I grow weary. This list was to keep me at least somewhat on track.

there's always Bowling Green...

... but the average low in Athens is 33 degrees. That is as close as Georgia gets to freezing. Hot damn.

that's been my day.
