and consequently, i have determined, yet lofty aspirations of becoming a better person.

moreover, i have been walking the streets like an oblivious, slutty highschool girl with [what is apparently] a hickey.

in other news, i have learned a few things in the past month:

1. i'm not nearly as shy as i think i am.
2. gin, like rachel ray or the sound structure of craig finn's voice, is one of the great polarisers of humankind.
3. bastille day block party is much more fun [and affordable] than anything i did at pride.
4. it takes the irs over 1.5years to catch a mistake.
5. i am, though amoral, disgusted by the idea of selling my goods on the corner [which would've been a co-worker's suggested solution in the regards of the consequences of the fourth item on this list.
6. there is always money for alcohol and cigarettes, but there'll be SO much more money once cigarettes leave the picture [which they should and will-do soonish].
7. most overused word du jour is, "unassuming." and ironically, isn't very tautologous.

and there. i've managed to procrastinate in the cleaning of room and kitchen, the paying of bills, the surfing of irs website, and superfluously smiling for 20 minutes.
