while driving along on what i think was the 405 towards long beach (i'm still learning all the roads) i saw a lighted sign that was supposed to read "best roofing & waterproofing" except some of the letters' lights weren't working and so what remained was "best roofing erproofing" and i laughed a little and realized how hard it would be to explain to some people why that's clever.

while i was waiting in the terminal for my extremely delayed flight back to washington, i saw this guy who looked a lot like my exbf's friend. so i was sort of staring at him, trying to determine if it was the same guy or not. sometimes he would look back and then i had to quickly look away so as not to be mistaken as a freaky stalker type. so once we finally got on the plane, he sat in the row behind me, so i turned around and said, "hey, do you live in chicago?" he said, "yep. do you?" and i said, "nope, do you go to northwestern?" he said, "nope, do you?" i said "nope, but you look like someone who does." and then he said "is that a good thing?" and i said "well, he's a friend of a friend and that friend is cool, so by association yes, i guess it's a good thing." then i sat back down and decided to make a friend so i got out a little piece of paper and wrote, "hi again. is the ambrose book any good? if yes, you have to tell me your name. if no, you have to write a 50 word response as to why not." we passed a few notes back and forth and before i knew it the flight was over.it's nice to remember that things like emailing and IMing came from something a little more organic.

there are two extremely noteworthy happenings that i'd like to write about but don't even know how to begin. so i'm just going to do it by saying 1. i just found a tampon in my cousin's 3-year-old son's pants and when i asked him what he was doing with a tampon in his pants, he responded, "it's for my buttcrack and it's stinky." and 2. last night the same cousin took me to a strip club and while i was quietly enjoying my corona and watching the naked ladies earn a buck, a man with a hook for a hand started to hit on me and the only response i could come up with was, "oh right! just like boston public!" this must be that thing people refer to as the true spirit of christmas.

if you know something atypical yet festive yet not filled with tons of people yet providing access to beer and liquor all the while located in the los angeles area and happening on new year's eve, could you please let me know? i will be in the area for a number of days and would like to fill these times with fun, excitement, and alcoholism.
"yes, but does he make you laugh?"
"well, he doesn't make me cry."

i was running with almost silent footsteps last night as i approached a man walking swiftly but not in a rush. the noise of his extremely nice italian leather shoes on the brick sidewalk made me realize what exactly it is about a man in a well-made suit that makes me feel a little melty...his footsteps sounded like confidence and his stride looked like power.
i guess it's official; i'm a grown-up.
