It's sort of funny when you're staying at someone else's house to rummage through their fridge. Desiring the hard salami, I discovered a tiny, mostly-eaten, not-yet-dead bag of baby carrots.

Score!

Additionally, I ♥ the MacBook Pro. I wonder that I didn't get one when I had the chance (I didn't want to lose those 2 Powerful Inches™ in the Powerbook). But it's so light, and the keys so nimble, and the pinhole camera! Imagine the ridiculous photobooth pictures I could take at any time!!!

I don't know how I was feeling so sad, because after yesterday, I feel completely rejuvenated. I spent the afternoon with [livejournal.com profile] sinboy wandering the city, freezing my ears off, being completely happy and visiting the Apple Store. And yes, on this occasion, those last two activities were mutually exclusive!

After enjoying the 20º weather I met up with [livejournal.com profile] hotstudboi427 (Fred) and Amy for dinner at Pure Food and Wine. Every time I spend time with Amy, I think to myself, "Wow, I'd love to spend more time with Amy." I really like friendships like that.

Dinner was delicious, despite both Fred and Amy making fun of the food, and when we came outside it was snowing. We stuck Amy in a cab, and Fred and I walked. That is, until we started freezing. Of course then there were no cabs. It's just how New York works.

Fred and I stayed up late singing Anything But Lonely, a (cringe) Andrew Lloyd Webber song from the show Aspects of Love. It's a song I first learned when I was 16 and Fred made me a Mix Tape of songs he'd like to hear me sing. But I find after those 10 years of loving and losing and loving again, the song feels so much more poignant to sing. And god, Fred is doing so well, and I'm so proud of him, and things just felt like they were back to normal, and I'm just giddy over it.

AND watching Star Wars on HBO-HD. It's the offensive Special Edition version, but I'm at Fred's house and the TV is all big and lovely and I'm just happy. I'm not even eating raw food right now, and I'm not even guilty about that. 6 baby carrots is not enough.

Now if only they'd cancel school! *checks school email again just to make sure* ...Damn

I've mentioned previously that [livejournal.com profile] rosefox and I have been taking singing lessons with [livejournal.com profile] elissaann. Now, I used to sing ALL the time in High School and do the musicals, but I'll admit that I've gotten rusty and phoned-it-in with sporadic karaoke performances. But since these lessons, I've become proud of my voice again. And, singing with Fred last night, I was SO happy with how I sounded. Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] elissaann!! Last night, I totally didn't "phone it in"!

I should also mention that this is feeling like one of the best Valentine's Days on record for me. Yes, I completely loathe the idea of Valentine's Day if only because my idea of love never involves a giant plushie one-eyed frog. This year, [livejournal.com profile] rosefox and I are doing a Gross Off Contest, gifting each other with the most offensive things we can find.

Rose, if you value the secret for the next 9 hours, don't read past this cut )

Additionally, I saw this and it just made me smile SO broadly. And actually wanting to reciprocate? That's a big yay for me in general. I'm so lucky.

In non-romantic love news, Nic told me that there was a special on bonobos on PBS last night. Already on my way to dinner, I woed, but wondered with all my technological friends whether I had to woe. So, I sent a mass text, and lo! Charles K, saviour of me and my bonobos, recorded my show for me and now I will not miss it. Love!





While on the bus yesterday, while still feeling a big shocked and mopey, I really wanted to journal and was moaning about my lack-of-livejournal. I realized how funny that was, since, during high school, I always carried a small notebook with me that I'd use to journal during just such an occasion. I have TONS of these little books in a tupperware in my apartment, and I've meant to transcribe them. I've done some of them, but clearly not all. I'm hoping one day I can use them to some productive end -- I know how valuable Mason found the letters that his father had written to his mother in Vietnam.

Anyway, I wrote this down on the back of an article for my Controversies in Human Evolution class (when I was still sad) --

this )

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! and importantly, Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] infd!!!
