Not just in America, but everywhere?...Matt is going down to 'war' by the Mexican American border, I'm trying hard not to freak out to much...

And again, almost another month. So sorry, dear Internet.

I guess the only thing I have to say for myself is that life is busy, and that things are going well. Also, that I've been sick.

Do you think it's unreasonable to imagine that someone would do the dishes more than once a week? Is it unreasonable to imagine that they might do them at least twice?...I decorated with beautiful hand-made glittery blue candles and hurricane jars filled with balls and lights...Getting sick twice isn't any fun at all... Why have we decided to bail out the Auto companies? What changed... WCDAC party was quite nice this year. It was great to see Dick... I sent out the cards, I know I screwed up on at least one, I'll bet there are more... I'm trying to come up with a great gift for my sister and her fiance, any thoughts?... I'm really excited to start planning for our trip to SF, why can't we start now?... The Latke Vodka party should be awesome, at least I hope so... Only 1 RSVP so far, but it's still early... M@ 's company is having a party tonight and I'm a little to sick to go.... I'm not 100% thrilled with my new soccer team, I'm skipping out tomorrow due to illness, but Ruki is a great leader!...What should you do when a friend basically says that they don't want you anymore...

Really though, things are going great. Happy Holidays, just in case I forget to write for another month.

An apology for not writing yesterday- I've been writing so many papers that I completely forgot to write here. So, here is my "these things annoy me" ellipses

People who drive on the freeway and pass someone else only to slow down and be really stupid....waiters who bring you the wrong food, then still press for a good tip....bloggers who never update- I would save so much time if I could just find out who's updated without going to each of their pages individually....parents, just in general....cloudy, depressing- but I'm not going to rain on you- days....the endless christmas carols on my radio stations.

Here is my "things that make me happy" ellipses:

The memories of my first date with Matt while wondering around the grocery store- I loved those shirley temples....the flirting with the cute mysterious man on the motocycle last night....waking up without the sound of the minuet in G this morning....the glow of the hanukkah candles in the dark when I went to bed last night....wrapping presents, even though I may not be so great at it- I try....getting voice messages- I got quite a few yesterday....the hanukkah menorah in Ralphs, that made the christmas tunes bareable.

How about you? What are a few things that have annoyed you versus things that make you happy lately?

Ellipses:

Is the local one strike affecting many of my friends....when do we think it's going to be over...I love how they did this strike at the same time as the Writers, and I can't forget that Local 1 used to be Pittsburgh...I really want to travel to New York, but for $500 can't we just meet in the middle?....Thanks for the bag update David, I really appreciate that...to many papers to write, is this grad school thing really a good idea?....I'm actually excited to see my sister in the wedding dress, less excited about time with the future in-laws....it's not that he went to a hockey game, it's that he presented it like dropping me was so easy....What should I bake to celebrate the Thanksgiving Holidays, I was thinking cupcakes and oreo-cookie pie?....I miss Andrew's homemade pie, his cranberry sauce- the whole thing. When are you having that event?....My fortune said that I would be reconnecting with people from the past- any more lurking out there?....I really do want to start a family, preferably earlier rather than later....I'm not sleeping well, my back hurts, and I have NO flexibility. Help please...GRE is on Tuesday, I think I'm going to freak out a little more before it comes....I've decided to study/research Conservatory education students and how they involve with the greater campus community- any thoughts?....I can't really figure out where I want my life to go. Thinkwell, Cirque, USC, Student Affairs- there are just so many options.

I want to get in bed and fall asleep.
I want to hear the alarm and be excited about getting up.
I want to be able to go shopping or do something productive before work.

Oh well- another day tomorrow.

Don't you hate it when all of a sudden life sucks. It's like the world stops turning around you..

I swear my computer clock is broken. It's been 5:48 for 15 minutes now. I'm trying to be good, not leave work early... it's so HARD.

I wish I was able to go play kickball tonight. I'm not sure why loosing this season is making me so angry, but never-the-less, I'm PISSED

I hope that Life the bar on Wilshire is good. The Yelp reviews are pretty crappy.

Sex is nice. I have to admit that even when I'm not totally enjoying it, I do feel better the next day.

Why am I afraid to put my name out there on this blog? People who read it know who I am. Who cares if I'm saying not so great things about work, or life. Do I have to pretend like the people I talk about who read it don't know who I am?

I wish this guy who had Rustin's old phone number lived in LA and was older than 21. I don't date down. Though his cute little text message telling me I'm HOTT was nice!

Is it okay for me to be a little terrified of the fact that I have NO idea where I'm going when I get done with my tour in Israel. I looked into Tel Aviv Hostels...looks like I should be okay. Eilat is a little more of a problem. Here's hoping for the best!

Is keeping your passport in the hotel really the best option? How many copies of my driver's license do I need?

I want to smile more- and be able to write funny. I just can't do it. Yes, stupid things happen to me, but somehow telling them in typing makes them sound drab...

I'm so bored... I'm not supposed to be at the bar until 7pm... any suggestions...?

A title when I'm done- if I remember

So, Boevers mentioned me in his ellipses- so I thought I would do some of my own:

I wonder how long this whole writing everyday thing is going to continue. Will my blog readership get better if I keep it up...I think I might be sabatoging a relationship that I am very excited about...Why do the guards who guard the tomb of the unknown soldier have to swear off alcohol for the rest of their lives? Seems a little random to me...Do you think that I might be good at being a State Department Security office. Protecting important people?...I'm so excited about my trip- finally some time to think and be alone...I'm spending WAY to much money. I hope my new attempts to curb the financial drain will work...I'm about to try my hand at recovering a chair- here goes nothing...Why am I so uninterested in world politics? Believe me- I don't care...USC has a lot of students...I worry about some of my friends to much I think...I sort of wish that the feeling I had now was a little more like the feelings I started with at Freshman orientation...how many different ways can someone spell fish?...I hope that I win the writing contest. I don't think I will, but I really do want a pooping moose...How is it that I can't ever seem to get through calling Go Country...Do I really want to go to a JT concert with Rustin...Disneyland this weekend should be fun. I wonder what the projected attendance is...I wish that people would respond to e-mails...Did Kevin ever decide to use me an an alumni reference. I wrote him an e-mail...Doing ellipses is good, but I sometimes think that giving myself time to ponder my thoughts and write them as I think them may be a bad thing...
