The Velvet Teen Is Good

I’ve spent my entire shift at work so far surfing Friendster, which is greatly addictive. Apparently my two disparate friends Ben and Eric know one another, which is funny, since I met Eric in CT and Ben over GCN. The world is a pretty small place. Miniscule, really.

Today, my shirt says, “My Other Girlfriend Is A Super Model.” I should’ve saved it for tomorrow night’s class on Race, Gender, and the Media, which is full of dumb, skinny-ass sorority girls who all want to be the Weather Girl. I’m really glad Jesus loves them as much as He does, because I find them mostly intolerable.

It was a beautiful day outside. I went for a walk with mom. Our money problems are getting worse instead of better, and I’m praying so hard that God will keep our rickety boat together. It always seems to be just one loose screw away from coming apart and sinking.

Last night I went to Laurie and Jaye’s and we finished watching “Wonderfalls,” which they’d never seen. They loved it of course, and next I need to introduce them to “Firefly.”

this is my life.

I dream of a lot of things lately - getting the book finished, being published, having actual money, going to New York. I got to talk to Joel New the other day, which absolutely lifted my spirits. Funny how you don’t know what you got till….

iPod song: “A Captive Audience” by The Velvet Teen.

Good night all.
