You could’ve gone without my friendship today… true or false?
– Me (I realize I’m hard to handle sometimes)
I'm boycotting NYE.
It just never goes right for me. And this year it could’ve been so good. Like… amazingly good-looking/sweet guy, 5 days, resort in Miami or Puerto Rico good. I resent I-banking right now for stealing my prospective plans.
F.
There's a Code Red (Fire) on my floor at work...
And everyone just sits there like nothing is happening. It feels strange.
Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me...

I'm having one of those moments
where I just wish there was no one around for miles and I could scream at the top of my lungs and then cry myself dry.
I can’t even pinpoint why I feel this way.
My career. Change. Missing my family and friends. Love. Feeling unsafe and misplaced. War. Distrust. Greed. Insecurity.
I’m sorry. I try to stay away from depressing posts and there is a great amount of beauty...
Santa visited the ward today...
And I have to admit, I forgot for a moment how old I was and a twinge of excitement crept up on me when I looked up and saw him walking down the hall.
The Office Party
John woke up after the annual office Christmas party with a pounding headache, cotton-mouthed and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening.
After a trip to the bathroom, he made his way downstairs, where his wife put some coffee in front of him. “Louise,” he moaned, “tell me what happened last night. Was it as bad as I think?”
“Even worse,”...
Dude...
DC is only 4 hours away from NYC. Where is our snow? Damnit.
You make me feel safe.

The past few days I've been eating like it's going...
Am I:
A) Pregnant

D) In love
E) PMSing
or
F) Just plain hungry, bitches
?
Who knows… probably some lovely combo of two or more.
Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives?...

I just got my very own hospital pager...
so you can like, get a hold of me if there’s an emergency n’ stuff.

Man Shot, Killed Near Logan Circle →
This is my block… I made sure to inquire about the police tape as I left my house this morning (only an hour or so after it happened) and the nice cop confirmed it was a homicide.
Lovely.
Snow days are officially over for me...
sigh.
Designation as an Emergency Employee:

This means if DC freezes over and the metro stops working the National Guard will show up...
Do you ever have days...
where you feel like everyone but you is in slow motion?
This girl does. And I hate feeling impatient.
But FUCK. The omelet man does not have to talk to everyone in line and the lady at the cash register should know which buttons to push and where they are after working here for years, and people should stop using the elevators to go up or down one floor unless they are a wounded soldier.

Shit is too funny. Some animals are just smug little bastards who need to be corrected.

Nope...
You’re still there.
I’ve shampooed, rinsed and repeated for a week now and I can’t get you out of my head.
I just used this non-toxic, biodegradable stuff to...
and no joke, it smells exactly like Jagermeister.
My stomach does NOT approve right now (gag). I shouldn’t be cleaning sick, but… I can’t feel less germy unless I do so.
I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of...
