i cannot even begin to tell you how different i feel now from how i did yesterday. yesterday, i was after a night of drinking and other nonsense in which i had gotten just about four hours of sleep. people were actually asking me if i was ok! lol. the day before that was very similar. i guess it was catching up with me. last night, however, i went home after my classes (not sure how i made it through those), geeked around for a bit and actually passed out at about 11:30. oh, the joy of getting a full night sleep :) today will include getting the laundry done and a tae kwon do class. i should be nice and dead by the end of that, and all ready for a yummy night sleep again. i'm gonna need it if imma be out in jerzee on friday...

happy happy
music: melotron - kein morgen mood: pleased
just got back from my first tae kwon do lesson since my surgery. i thought it was going to be just as difficult to get back into it as it was to first begin (since i only took nine lessons before leaving for three weeks), but i was surprised to find the opposite. it was much easier than it was at first, and i actually learned my first pattern today. so aside from smelling like sweat and having a messy apartment (two things that shall be corrected shortly), i'm pretty happy right now. it felt good to actually do something again. looks like the rest of my week is fully booked as well. lessee... tomorrow i head out to jerzee after work, to hang out with cara and some of the people i was lucky enough to meet thus far. wednesday shall include the classes that did not take place today and hopefully some time with joe, before we have to surrender him to germany again. then thursday will be more tae kwon do, followed by another trek out to jerzee on friday :) as for the actual weekend, i'm not sure of anything but the fact that i have another appointment with steve yay ink! lol.
okie, i better get crackin on this mess and do some homework.

lalala
music: people talking mood: not quite hung over
that's right, i don't actually feel the alcohol although jebus knows i drank a lot last night. i think it's more the lack of sleep for two or three days in a row. what i neglected to mention in my last post, or rather what had not happened yet when i was posting it was that at 1:30am of that same night, i got a call from a friend of mine. 'what are you up to?' is kind of a silly question at that hour, but my answer was simple: 'nothing.' see, i wanted to see this person. we've had plans to hang out for months now but one of us is always too busy. naturally, a visit in the whee hours of the morning cannot possibly lead to a good night sleep (not to mention the obvious *cough* *cough*). so not only was i walking around like a zobie yesterday, but last night (well, after work) cara came to hang out for a bit. first we did the obligatory shopping thing, in which we both bought stuff we did not really set out to. following that was a nice dinner at the thai restaurant that is now where religious sex used to be. it is an odd experience to sit in the space i used to try clothing on in and have a fancy meal. lol. although we had originally planned to check out some night on the lower east side - cara, rob and myself headed back up to my little studio for drinks. well, rob was watching cara and i finish off a huge bottle of yellow tail. once again, i managed to get next to no sleep. heh.
tonight, i shall be venturing out to jerzee to hang out with a (very) few people i know and to just be somewhere that not everyone knows who i am. it should be a lot of fun. and yes, i do plan on getting smashed tonight as well. nothing like making an ass out of myself in front of people i don't know :D

game called on account of rain
music: within temptation - mother earth mood: drunk
welp, my trip to jerzee had to be postponed due to crappy weather. it would have been nice to hang out with a bunch of people i don't know (and meet some new ones in the process), but alas, mother nature is a bitch and picking me up from anywhere would have not been the best idea. instead, i texted alison to see if she had plans. after all, i wasn't just going to go home. it takes forever just to get me to want to go anywhere... so if i'm already psyched about something, imma do it (or something to replace it) dammit. as it turned out, she had no plans. so after class, i walked over there in the extremely crappy weather. we then headed over to the nearest restaurant for a yummy food and drinks. it's been a while since we've done any catching up. this was nice. after dinner, we headed back to her apartment since she lives right down the block from where we were. TV, BS and more alcohol was expereinced thereafter. at some poing it was finally time for me to leave. i walked home in the sleet and rain (ick!!!) and plopped down right here.
on a completely unrelated note, i must stress that my boss rocks. more details to follow, since the latest information is not yet live (still in the beta version). however, i have to admit that at least my job is making me happy these days. something has got to shine some light on me, no?
... my weekend looks promising. but it's hard to tell with me; my happiness usually turns to tragedy, as i've become used to... so i shall post about it when the time comes.
for now, i bid you all a good night. i know i need it.

just tipsy enough
music: oomph! - augen auf mood: sweet
well, i've taken a break from lj and myspace since it seems to be the source of some unwanted drama... and also cuz i just need a break from being stuck up everyone's ass. lol. yea, that's right. over the last couple of weeks i've gone through some bizarre emotional crap and i'm glad to say it's done. i'm usually rather efficiant with removing unnecessary emotions from my existance. which is good, since cancers are supposed to be emotional and i seem to have that aspect of the personality in check (well, most of the time ;). anyway, that's done and i'm feeling like me again. unfortunately, that means i'm back to being bored with everything i know :D (yes, i know, it never ends with me... but how would life be interesting otherwise?). on the positive side of things, i have recently become close with cara - after not seeing her in years - who has been contributing amusement to my life... which is also a large part of why i think we are going to make excellent roommates; we seem to provide each other with 'different' forms of amusement. as such, i believe i shall be venturing into jersey (yes, that's right - going back to the roots, mofo) quite often. that is, untill she gets her ass moved out here and we get in bring her/my crew into our dark little home. w00t! i don't think i've ever been excited about having a roommate. this is good.
in other news, i've finally gotten my ankh (designed by the late D). i have proudly secured myself ankh number 69, which todd feels is all too apropriate. i now have it around my neck and shall not remove it unless it is absolutely necessary... earlier, i had dinner and drinks with the man and am now feeling the alcohol. i am all smiley :D
tomorrow will actually be my first venture into jersey since my brother moved out of it. heh. to think i used to live there. fuck, so much has happened to me since i've moved here from israel. if only i had kept a blog back then... i'm pretty sure all of you would be amazed. i know i am. cara, thank you for rocking!

i am the clown with the tearaway face
music: silence mood: waking up
what an extremely exciting weekend this was/is... not. lol. well, parts of it were ok. friday night at korova was amusing. cara and i got there just at the end of the open bar (and managed to get some drinks before it closed) and lots of people joined in the fun. i obviously had way too much to drink. yes, cara and i are going to make the perfect roommate combination. instead of someone dragging me or her home, there will have to be someone that'll make sure we both get home in one piece. LOL. this is going to be amusing. yesterday, we both slept most of our hang overs off and then woke up for lunch and a movie. cara actually had to leave at some point and i ended up staying in all night even though i was bored cuz i was still feeling friday night. heh. yes, i know i'm a very exciting individual. today i have two things planned... getting my nails done and getting some ink done. good combination, eh? it's been a while since i've had any ink done and i'm dying to finish my back. last time i had to cancel my appointment due to surgical reasons. that is to say, i don't think that trying to recover from the surgery while trying to do the same from 3-4 hours of ink would have been the smartest thing to attempt.
anyway, i get ready now.

moving. again.
music: st patrick's day parade on 5th avenue mood: pretty sweet
ok, so after debating the issue myself for a while, i was presented with new information that would allow me to make my decision... see, i am now living in a studio apartment on the upper east side of manhattan. and while i absolutely love everything about it and my neighborhood, i surely could not avoid reconsidering simply due to price and living space. originally the debate was if i should move back to queens in favor of more room for less money. i never really reconsidered the roommate stuff. however, being that the lovely cara was looking to move closer to the city, i was confronted with new possibilities. so after thinking about it for a few days, i decided that a roommate it shall be. i can definitely use the opportunity to save money (something i never did when i first got this job cuz i moved right out). not to mention that i might actually have to pay for school cuz financial aid is being a bitch, so this is a good thing all around. aside, of course, the actual moving part... i have so much crap (mostly breakables), i don't even wanna think about it.
i'm actually quite excited :)

papa won't leave you henry
music: nick cave - let love in mood: ok
see, i have a pretty impressive CD collection and a sweet MP3 collection to go along with it. but i'm so lazy that sometimes i just don't bother listening to the music i have to physically move in order to listen to (i.e. CDs). so naturally, the collection i carry with me every day on my ipod is limited to what i have on my machine. silly. every once in a while i'll get the urge to do something about it and rip some stuff for me to add to it. the other day i ripped my entire nick cave collection (which includes all albums but no EPs or Bside, for some reason) and have been listening to it continuously since... i forgot just how much i love him :)

these aren't the droids you're looking for
music: fairlight children - invade my heart tonight mood: move along
i don't think i have ever had such a messy and insane experience. what's worse is that it happened is such an incredibly short time span. wow. well, it's over and done with and i will not be repeating THAT again. no further discussions.

another friday
music: sound of my clock ticking mood: somewhere between sleep and consciousness
i have a doctor's appointment in a few hours but i really don't have to be up yet, much less at the time my body actually decided that it no longer wants to rest. that's right, i've been up since a little after 6am for no apparent reason. it's true, i should be getting the stitches removed and the actual results (of course, the doctor might also just take a look and tell me to come back next week, too...) but i must say, i am not in the least bit nervous. all i really want is this thing off me. any healing process itches, and this one is no exception.
last night i hung out with the lovely cara and a couple of her friends. it was nice to be out for a change and to meet new people. later today i shall be making my way to MA for geekpixie goodness :) of course, i intend on making it back for BYTE on sunday so this weekend is going to be slightly on the hectic side. heh.
ok... wish me luck.

is someone out there to get me or something? it's like being stuck in a teeny room with no way out. only the guard with the key has the option of letting me out and he'll do it when he damn well pleases. yes, that's how i feel about this weather. i cannot stress enough how much i hate it. why won't he/she/it let it fucking go already? please please please... just let me go rollerblading, hiking, or even walking for fuck sake!! someone kill it please, it's so incredibly irritating.

ahh yes...
music: within temptation - ice queen mood: ok
so i'm back in the office after my lovely surgery experience... actually, it wasn't all that bad. it went something like this: thursday, early morning, i was joined by todd and my friend bareket for the walk over to the hospital. my surgery was scheduled for 10am so i had to be there by nine o'clock. it was fairly simple. we walked in to where i was told to go, waited a bit and i was then taken to get changed into a sexy hospital gown (which both bareket and todd managed to take a picture of me in) and then to wait for my doctor to come speak to me. we sat around BSing till it was time for me to get my ass on the operating table. i was then given the IV (i swear, if i have that area poked with a needle just one more time i'm going to end up looking like a junkie... what with the blood tests i had done prior to the surgery and some general testing the other week) and was soon out like a light. the procedure itself was relatively short and i woke up just as i was being patched up and ready to move out. damn, that was a good nap. when i was done with all the rest (recovery room etc), i made my way to where my two friends were waiting and we walked home. let me tell you that i am seriously grateful to those two. they not only came home with me, but stayed for a while to make sure i was ok. they finally left sometime in the early evening. most of my weekend was spent in bed. as i've mentioned, i am not a fan of sitting on my ass for too long, much less being stuck in bad, but i was in slight pain on and off for most of the last few days so that's just what i did. i managed to drag my ass out for a bit on saturday since i was feeling ok. then sunday was not only spent in bed, but i believe i slept though the entire day. damn. now i just have to go see my doctor for the results and wait for the bruising to subside.

so when i was in seattle, for photographic purposes with hypnox, i attended a yakuza party with him and the lovely morgan. it was a lot of fun and i had the pleasure of meeting quite a few nice and very beautiful people. morgan was kind enough to point me in the right direction:
