Is it Indigestion?

2007-06-25T12:48:46Z

It is very early in the morning, but soon, getting up this early will be the norm. I am up this early because I need to find a job and have lots of things to do. It makes me die inside a little--but that feeling could also be indigestion.

In other news, here are a few of my new favorite tunes:
Hot Chip's cover of "Sexual Healing"
Kavinsky in general
"D.A.N.C.E." by Justice
"P***Y" by Brazilian Girls
(I like it when I let friends go WILD with downloading music for me--thanks, guys)

Here are my new favorite items:
My new sunglasses (which aren't that new anymore, I guess)
Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer with SPF10. A perfect makeup item for summer--check it out, ladiez.

Debate:
Wednesday--to go to NY to help parentals move broseph out of apartment, or NOT?

Alsooooooo, I sort of always want a new, small tattoo--but always feel a little guilty about the one I have... sort of. I'm not sure. Hmm. Hmmm. Perhaps I will take a walk.

Dear Readers and Friends,

I have returned home from a weekend-tour of the Northeast. I slept in Melissa Leo's house last night. Google her. How? Why? I can't tell you.

I'm feeling: lost and unsettled. Why? The job-hunting process is exactly as tedious as I thought it would be! I DO hope someone recognizes my invaluable talent and skills and decides to take me onto their team and provide me with a both lucrative and also intellectually stimulating experience (in other words, a job).

While I am at home, I am sometimes led to feel neurotic and insecure about MY ENTIRE LIFE. I am trying to take action to change these things. Suggestions?

Back to the job search.

She Back Whatup

2007-06-15T03:43:21Z

Dear Readers and Friends,

I am back from my European extravaganza. I had a blast, but perhaps bought too much clothing. I caught a cold/some terrible stomach ailment in the airport in Rome and am still getting over it, but I think I'll be okay.

I'm not searching for jobs in NYC anymore, but instead Albany. I'll save money--hopefully enough to buy DOZENS OF DESIGNER HANDNAGS AND OTHER SUCH ITEMS.

Now that I'm home I'm trying to rev up for a super-summer in the Capital Region. Ben, you'd BETTER COME HOME SOON OR ELSE I'M GON' LOSE IT. YOU HEAR ME?

I discovered that I can buy an entire TV series from itunes for only $24.99. My life has been changed forever.

Heading to NoHo tomorrow to see Jaime and find out what's in style, and then we're heading to GB for some QT with the kids in the 'shires.

I might volunteer on a movie set?

Life is okay. I'm tired.

Hugs and kisses,
Jackie

Suffering in the library.
Full of Red Bull.
Must finish everything by Tuesday.
Getting there I hope. I'd better be.
No pix to post, no music to list.
This is miserable.
This. is. the. bitter. end.
Tuesday night=THE BEST RELIEF I'VE EVER FELT IN ALL OF MY 20 YEARS OF LIFE and 15 years of schooling.

Dear Readers and Friends,

My, it's been a long time since I've posted--almost a year! Not much has changed, except that I can drive in Mass. now. I still wear my red hoodie far too much and I also need a haircut.

HOWEVER, MOM, I AM GOING TO GRADUATE! Next Saturday! After that, I'm going to England! With Chris! After that I am applying for jobs! In New Pork City! However, the pressure isn't on to do this until fall. I'll be in Albs for a while, and also GB. Vermont, too. Maybe LA for a bit.

I haven't eaten at Taco Bell for at least six months.

I got a tattoo of an anchor one night in New Orleans while I was drunk. Do I regret it? Only sometimes, but mostly I'm still glad to have it.

I wear a headband everyday (this is since yesterday) that says "Martial Arts" on it.

I'm happier now than I was when I last posted, I think.

Tonight for dinner I had a cheeseburger and fries. Chris had something with vegetables. I'm digesting.

Thoughts? Comments? It's been a while. It's good to be back.

This is what happens when you google image "Chris Werter"--this isn't him.

I haven't updated since I came home for summer break!

My summer has been good!

I write a lot of things for the newspaper, I go to Great Barrington almost every week and sometimes I go to New York City. Next week I am cruising to Canada with mom, dad and broseph! I will wear my captain's hat the entire time.

I bought some super-short-shorts today--they're shiny and blue and I wore them on the train. It was not the best idea, but it was very hot outside and I thought I might melt to the sidewalk if I continued wearing my jeans.

The end.

Also, everyone should buy season 1 of "That Girl."

Jamie wants me to update my journal... I'm home for the summer and hoping DESPERATELY do adopt a healthier lifestyle, if only for the fact that I don't want to have a heart attack before I'm 22. Home is fine--it's far more comfortable than Hill House. I start my internship on Monday and already have a front page piece coming out in next Sunday's paper, and I'm also starting my column right away. I hope they don't fire me when they see how DISGUSTING i've become since last summer. All I have to do is finish my incomplete and I can say goodbye to last semester, FINALLY. Best semester ever or worst semester ever? Who can say? It's either one or the other.

I was just reading my entry about Taco Bell. I think that things started to fall apart soon after that night. However, that was an *amazing* night. Sigh. Memories.

I'm laying in bed with my work spread all around me (aah, he beauty of a king-sized bed--I can fit everything that I brought with me to school on it and still have room to sleep) and I have a lot to do. I've decided to stop pulling "all-nighters" because they inevitably screw with my brain chemistry (i'm going to try and have more sober days in general). I am determined to finish ALL of my work TODAY and go to sleep at a reasonable hour and wake up at one, too. Enough is enough. Wish me luck.

I want to go to sleep but I'm not tired and it is frustrating. I guess I should get some work done. I think that I should go away this weekend. I thiiiiiiink that these mountains are driving me slightly insane.

I almost died tonight. I went to Ali's house and she and her delinquent friends pulled out a bowl and lit up. We all know that I am more responsible than anyone on the planet, so I only took one hit. Ali lives in a field and her driveway is long and hard to back out of. It was also dark and raining tonight. There are also many deer in her neighborhood. I thought about driving home and realized that, sober or not, I would probably hit a lot of trees on her property and some deer, too. However, whether I was sober or not, I would probably hit less of nature if I was sober. I was driving home and THANKFULLY there was another car coming in the opposite direction on this deserted road. It flashed its lights at me and I was like, "Huh?" and then I noticed some deer crossing right in front of me and slammed on the breaks and felt grateful for the SUV. I then proceeded to pop in the Boogie Nights soundtrack which I had just gotten back from Ali--she had it all freakin' semester.

I am glad that I didn't hit the deer for several reasons:
1. I am glad that my car is still in one piece.
2. I am glad that I am alive.
3. I would be so sad if I killed deer.
4. It wouldn't be fun to be injured.
5. I just got the Boogie Nights soundtrack back. I had missed it so much. It's one of my favorite albums. If I hit those deer before I put it into the CD player, I probably wouldn't have been able to listen to it.
6. I look forward to drinking Texas Sized Margaritas on Saturday. A car accident might have stopped
that.

This list is not in order of importance.

Jamie bought me the OC Season 1 on DVD today! What a bud! For serious, he's a BUD. Wow. What a sweetheart. Greatest gift besides the OC Season 2 OR every After School Special ever released on DVD in a cardboard school bus. Or ripping off the people at Target and buying Kill Bill 1 AND 2 for $15.00. Yes, I have done well this week, I have done well indeed. I feel complete for the moment. Let us see what tomorrow brings.

The OC Season 1: Now whenever we're stuck in cold, gloomy, miserable GB and we want some sunshine, we can follow the lives of our favorite contemporary soap-opera stars up until the end of the second season in sunny, beautiful California. It might make things worse, but hopefully it'll just make us feel better. Seasonal depression? Seasonal what?

Shopping in NY tomorrow with mom--everyone pray that I get a lot of nice clothes. We all know that I DESPERATELY NEED A NEW WARDROBE.

I ran out of cigarettes last night and decided that I was going to try to quit. Bad idea. Terrible idea. Awful idea. I haven't caved to buy a new pack YET, but I have a feeling that I may have to run to the store soon. Trying to quit+being home=worst idea EVER.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukah! Today at the nursing home, I was standing between my brother and my grandfather. An old lady in a wheelchair comes up and asks which one is my boyfriend--I tell her neither one, that we're all related--one is my brother, the other is my grandfather. She doesn't believe me. This is creepy on so many levels. I finally decide to go along with it andI tell her that my grandfather is my boyfriend. A few minutes later we're all saying goodbye and hugging my grandfather and she asks for a hug, too--we thought that this was sweet, but really, she was just going after my brother. He leaned down to hug her and she says, "I want a kiss from this one, too!" Oh man.

sooo I've been kicked out of my room but have my very own air mattress to sleep on! they bought me the fanciest one at bed, bath and beyond--it even comes with a "pillow top," which is really a fuzzy layer of polyester. I love polyester. I love my air mattress. TONIGHT, I think that I might set up camp in the kitchen.

In other news, I slept a lot on my air mattress today but now my back hurts a lot.

Tomorrow is both Christmas and Hanukah. I think that we will eat more chinese food.

I am leaving Albany for NYC on Thursday and am staying there until I feel like coming back to Albany, which won't happen, so if you're in Albany and you feel like seeing me, make it soon.

Air mattresses that are more fun than mine:

This one's fancy and I don't think the other one qualifies, but it was ugly enough to make it onto this post:

This is what I get to sleep on, only she looks happier about it:
