*breathes deep*
music: server noises mood: relaxed
well, that's it. no more orit. last night she flew to switzerland for the new years, after which she is heading back to israel. i am sad she chose to leave instead of trying to make it work... but i was soooo happy to have my bed all to myself again. even though i love her, this was an experience that tought me never to share my bed for a long period of time again. not with someone i'm not sleeping with, anyway. from now on, unless i have another room in which to put a guest, no one is invited over for more than a few days. *whew*
in other news, i did a little silly shoot with josh rubin last night, just for fun. the results of which are posted only where they need to be ;) i have a few more shoots with other people planned for the next month or so. one coming up in a couple of weeks. i am definitely looking forward to working with all the different photographers.
ps i can't wait for the weekend.

mah xmas weekend
music: TV mood: ok
while i am not one for holidays (jewish, christian or otherwise), this weekend was nice. i didn't actually do anything xmas related, as to be expected... instead, i had a shoot with brian rawson on friday afternoon. it ended up taking a while and i was home only at about midnight. so instead of going out, as i planned to, i passed out rather early. it was extremely exhausting. i also had some plans for yesterday that ended up falling through, due to the same exhaustion. i was going to do a shoot with josh rubin, but it kept on being pushed off to a later hours and i finally decided that staying in again was a better idea. heh. today, orit and i actually managed to get up and out rather early. we were on our way to the moma, but proceeded to walk right by it when we saw the length of the line. the second best option was... shopping, of course. we did H&M before we decided to head down town to check out eighth street. i ended up spending way too much money, of course. i bought some fun stuff to use in upcoming shoots and some stuff to wear to work too. we wandered around for about six hours before heading home for a short nap. following the much needed shut-eye, we headed back down town to korova for ru's birthday celebrations. however, we didn't last long there since we both have to be up for work rather early tomorrow.
oh, and for those of you who had the pleasure of meeting orit, this would be where i sadly announce that she is leaving on tuesday. while i will most definitely be happy to have my space back, i will miss her terribly. go and say good-bye and show her you love her :)

i need the weekend
music: wolfsheim - heroin, she said mood: ever so slightly hung over
last night was prema's farewell dinner. i can't believe she's actually leaving for an uknown period of time. well, at least i'll be able to go to china knowing that i have where to stay. hehe. because china was always on my list of places to go (i actually have no such list :P). still... she is one of my favorite people and i'm going to miss her. not to mention that she is one of the few people whos house i was able to walk to from where i live. now there will be one less 'non-yuppie' on the UES. lol. dinner and drinks were good times and i did manage to get just enough sleep. however, i believe i drank a little too much because i am now feeling the aftermath. not to say that it's too bad, but there are things i do that remind me that i'm actually hung over; like bending over to pick something up.
i think that today will be a productive one: after work i shall go home and clean up the huge mess i have in my apartment and get my shit in order. i've been so lazy, i haven't even unpacked all the stuff i took to long island with me for the photoshoot yet. heh.

yes, i'm alive
music: silence mood: freezing my ass off
my appologies for having vanished as of late... i'm still here, but have been busy with other nonsense and whatnot. i think i've been more active on livejournal lately, than anywhere else. things that have been taking up my time include getting done with the semester (i already have an A on my media class :), doing some modeling (!!), and trying to take it easy, since i've been feeling a little sickish. so as i mentioned, my semester is over. finally. i'm still having a hard time adjusting to not feeling guilty for just sitting around watching tv. this weekend, i had an exciting trek out to long island for a photoshoot with brian rawson. we did a lot of fun stuff, which i am waiting to see the results of. then last night, i headed over to do another shoot with joshua rubin for heeb magazine. that was quite a bit of fun... there were good people and plenty of drinkage, which makes for a good combination. i can't wait to see those, either. hehe. today will include work and probably going to hang out with a friend who seems to need to talk, more than he had originally let on. i hope i can be there for him...

fun!
music: silence mood: hungry
inspired by one of nemimi's posts and by the fact that i have a couple of photoshoots coming up, i decided that a visit to freaks lounge over on 8th street was in order. i wasn't really expecting to buy too much, but i ended up walking out with a couple of skirts, a dress, a corset and a pair of boots!! i really shouldn't be spending money... but i've been so good about it, i figured it was ok just this once. i haven't been shopping for anything fun in soooooo long. mostly because i really never have where to wear it to anymore. not to mention that when i do finally go out, i'm usually not in the mood to bother dressing up. perhaps it's time for a change? lol. who knows?
now it's feeding time... i'm sooo hungry!

my appologies
music: TV mood: exhausted
...i swear i had every intention of going out tonight. i even called kerry to see when he was heading over to korova so i could meet him there. but i've been getting very little sleep due to my odd studying habbits and now i am just about ready to pass out. i even got partially dressed, only to remove everything i was wearing and crawl back into bed. my eyes are on fire and i have no energy. must get some sleep. i love you all, and i'm sorry i missed you. some of us really need to hang out at some point.
xoxo, ~D

finally
music: AC noises mood: chilleh
i can't wait for it to sometime this evening, after my final. i hated this class from the get-go and i'm not looking forward to doing this thing. but i guess it'll all be over soon and i'll be able to move one. heh. yesterday's final was just fine. it wasn't an exam, it was a presentation. i created some silly flash project and had to give a short presentation on how i made it and about the topic i chose. since i have no stage-fright issues, i was the first one to go and get it over with. if this professor doesn't give me an A i'll be slightly upset. heh. once again, i got no sleep last night... it was spent doing more important and more interesting things. so i am currently running on about three hours. i wonder how much good that will do me during the final. lol.
anyway, following my final, celebrations will ensue and drunkenness will commence. i hope to see quite a few peoples over at korova later :)

hell hath frozen over
music: someone yapping on the phone mood: heh
i can't believe i finally did it! i actually dragged my ass over to office depot after work yesterday and purchased a cute little webcam. it was cheap enough, and quite frankly, i was long over-due for one. hehe. as soon a i got home, i sat down to play with it. new toys are fun! the quality is surprisingly good. and i already found some entertaining things to do with it ;) as a result of the install. i realized i was going to have to upgrade trillian as well, since the older (more stable) version was not cooperating with the cam software. i have to say that the new version is ass. someone made trillian gayer and should be shot. it doesn't even have any good skins, let alone function properly. hopefully it will improve by the time they reach the final version. i love trillian, but this alpha is just bad.

please make time move faster
music: server noises mood: freezing/tired/horny
not sure what to put in here today... i have my two finals coming up on thursday and friday, and then i go out to celebrate with lots of alcohol and good company. i think it's going to have to be korova since i've been having good times there lately. but that remains to be seen. last night i got no sleep cuz i stayed up till all hours talking to a friend, planning some stuff for the next month :D it's fucking freezing outside and i need to get laid. yep, that about as collected as my thoughts can be right now.

of cabs and ink
music: TV mood: tired
last night was interesting, to say the least. i mean, most of the evening was nothing extraordinary: had class after work, went over to prema's to pick something up, and then we came back here to eat end drink etc... once we were all ready, we headed over to korova to some more drinkage. korova is always good times. met some people i havent's seen in a while, drank too much. good times. then, when it was time to get outta there, orit and i got in a cab and went home. orit wasn't feeling well and was going to puke, so i made her stick her head out of the window. when the cab driver noticed this, he did what they all do: he freaked out. he started yelling and going nuts, then he finally pulled over, came around to orit's side and opened the door. i don't wanna go into all the detail (cuz there's just too much) but there was a lot of yelling and some pushing... it all ended with orit and i telling the cab driver to fuck off, and getting into another cab. it was a sobering experience for orit, that's for sure.
today i had an appointment with steve. since i was feeling kind of sickish, i took some cold medication so i wouldn't be coughing and sneezing the whole time. bouncing around that much would have sucked. after just a little while, i was sooooooooo sleepy that most of my tattoo was done while i was almost completely passed out. lol. i've never had an easier session. anyway, we got most of my back done. there is still some color to add and fill in, and then we move back over to the other side of my back, to make this whole thing look like one piece. that will be done sometime in february. after i was done there, i came home and basically passed out. been doing nothing all day and i'm still tired.
tomorrow there will be some studying, finishing up a project for a final presentation, and taking some photos. later on is byte. fun fun :)

even more ickiness
music: people talking mood: still sickish
so yesterday was spent in bed. it wasn't very much fun, either. i couldn't stop coughing or quite find a comfortable position in which to fall asleep. at some point during the day, though, i managed a nap. that was nice. however, despite my illness, i was able to do some of my studying for the final. though not much. it was a good start, and later today i shall continue on the same path. but now, i am sitting here, trying not to cough up a lung. i could have used another day in bed, but people here don't seem to understand the concept of the need for rest in order to recuperate. meh.
in other news, last night, while being my usual lazy self, i had the pleasure of finally making the acquaintance of someone i technically 'know' for just about a year. i spent hours talking to him, which was an extremely amusing experience. hehe. he should be here in NYC shortly, and i look forward to actually meeting him in person. it's always entertaining meeting a net friend in person. thankfully, i've had mostly successful encounters - give or take a couple.
welp, it finally caught up with me. that cold that everyone has been having for the last week or so? well now i have it too. yay! or not. it started with a little caugh yesterday at work, and by the time i got home i felt like i was going to hack up a lung. i went to sleep quite early, but it was one of those sweaty/hot/cold nights where i kept on waking up every five minutes, throwing the blanket off only to look for it again over and over. i don't think i have a fever, at least not now... but my body is weak and i feel like poo. oy.
since you've grown accustomed to seeing negative posts on the matter, i decided to publically post something to make you smile... do not assume that you lack the ability to explain yourself. you do, in fact, explain things quite well. and i do understand and accept things as you have presented them. you should know, however, that my stubbornness will not allow me to give up and just let go. i am going to stick around for as long as i have to. for as long as i can. i honestly hope that that's long enough. i do not wish to go into too much detail right here, but i will leave you with this: i'll be at the bottom of the cliff, when you decide to take that leap. i'll be waiting, and making sure that you land safely.
i hope your day is looking up :)

on my way home yesterday, i discovered that i was extremely hungry and placed an order for food even before i got home... told orit that she should expect it, if i wasn't there yet. i couldn't believe how early i got home. it was before 6pm. i don't even remember the last time my 9 to 5 actually got me home at a decent hour. i suppose that with everything else i always have to do, even if i did leave work at five, i still wouldn't be home early. heh. that was nice. so there was food, and then i promptly passed out for two hours. once i was up, it was paper writing time. i actually managed to finish it, even though there were unnecessary (and might i add, extremely annoying) interruptions. good thing, too, since it's due tomorrow. now i shall have martha look at it for me to give a second opinion.
i'm not sure why, but it seems that i am in a fairly good mood today. not sure, because nothing has changed for me... even though i am trying my hardest to make certain things happen. perhaps it is because it's the end of the week? or perhaps it has to do more with the end of the semester? who can say, really? i guess i'll have to see where the day takes me.

just another day
music: silence mood: hungry
i had every intention of getting up at ass-o'clock to finish my paper. but unfortunately i was up till all hours talking to someone i should have left alone a while ago about a topic that should have been dead just as long ago. so instead of setting my alarm for 4:30am, as i intended to, i had to get at least four ours of sleep, and set it to my normal hour. so much for that. then, while i managed to leave the house a little early this morning, i was confronted, yet again, by the fact that new yorkers do not know how to drive in the rain. a bus ride that should have take ten or maybe fifteen minutes, took a half an hour. then, naturally, the train had to stop in between stations - as it seems to have been doing for the last four or five days. i hate being late. for anything.
the only thing that made me smile in the past 24 hours or so was the fact that i was actually able to register for classes... not only on time, but about four and a half hours early. that, and i got the two classes that i wanted :)
my plans for later today include finishing the damned paper and possibly going to visit robin at her new apartment. we shall see.
