Today I made a really liberating decision.
I will not be attending NYU in the fall of 2009.
My mom kind of freaked out, and I have yet to hear what my father has to say about the matter (it probably will not be positive, as I already have taken one year off, and with the advent of another they will most likely be convinced that I’ll never return to school) but this is the decision that I needed to make for me, and in no way, shape,...
I'm going to surprise everyone.
Just you wait.

SO MUCH FUNNY.
end blogging my nerdy Friday night comic book philosophy fest.
I think my boobs are getting bigger.

Those "Invest in Macedonia" commercials on CNN...
Make me want to do anything other than investing in Macedonia. With an average gross monthly salary of less than €500, which is something the country is bragging about, I’m under the belief that people there are fucking poor.

It is the embassy, after all.
This is sort of where my mind is:
I’m not going to broadcast everything that is going on in my life to the internet, but suffice it to say that my head isn’t in the greatest of places.
My susceptibility to (very nearly) being hit by bikes has turned into even more nearly being hit by large trucks, and I have to wear my sunglasses everywhere.
I know what’s worth fighting for.

seeking a writing mentor / editor
Since moving back to Berlin, my pieces have literally been piling up and to be quite honest, I’d really appreciate having someone on which I can bounce my ideas off of and get some constructive criticism and advice from in return. Naturally, I’d be willing to return the favor.
If you are interested in such a collaboration, please let me know (epeolatric@gmail.com). I’m talking...

My old shrink was just arrested
From the police logs:
12:09 a.m. — Linda Navelski, 59, 61 Brixham Road, York, was arrested on charges of domestic violence assault and obstruction of report of a crime or injury. She was released after posting $100 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on April 22.
I cannot get over this. I hated this woman for years, yet my parents insisted she was a great person and would help me. Finding...
"The internet is scary shit" - Sarah
So I just looked at my flickr and saw that people have been getting there from googling my name and my hometown, which, given that I have a fairly common name, is one of the few ways to get relevant hits. I guess I was a little sketched out, but nothing more than usual, until I googled the same thing, just to see what else came up.
The first result was for some webpage, PeekYou.com, which I had...
And I could use some right now.
Sarah: you're such a sleeping pill snob.

“He left me.”
A year ago, I found out an hour before leaving for spring break in Greece that my clinically depressed best friend (who’d been studying abroad in Heidelberg) had a breakdown the previous evening. Immediately thereafter, her boyfriend’s mental health unraveled as a result of hers, and he dumped her on the day before his planned visit to Germany. This man —...

Margz: Oh man, I'm sure he was abused
Emz: Oh, no doubt
Me: Maybe, by a priest!
About 95% of the time, I forget that I live in a Christian state. It’s easy enough to kind of push aside the fact that everything is closed on Sunday, but the look of confusion that crossed my face about half an hour ago when I walked down the street to buy some bread and bleu cheese and realized that everything is shut down for Good Friday was one of sheer confusion. This likely means that...
I really need a hug.
But everything will be okay, right?

I could copy and paste the chat into here, but I doubt you would be able to tell just how much it meant to me. I just want it to be known that there are people in my life that I am incredibly thankful for, and at times don’t know what I would do without. Living in the future can really screw up staying in contact with these individuals, but I guess I’m glad that their sleep cycles are...
ATTN: Ex-Pats
I need help. I have a Google Voice number but receive maybe half of the text messages sent to it, which is a big problem. Have any of you had a similar problem, and if so do you know how to fix it? Alternately, do you know of any other services that offer the ability to receive text messages (sent to a US number) on the web?
