Roomie says she's bored or reading about my overwhelming homework and fabric choices in my room. So here's the meat. The stuff that I've glossed over that may actually be worth mentioning...
The breakup, which I have pretty much glossed over, was difficult and not glossy at all.
It involved yelling, crying and no makeup sex (sadly, though I'm proud I stayed strong).
He's been trying to get back together, prove himself, over the last week or so. However, it seemed a bit forced and too little too late.
So yesterday, I told him definitively that it was completely, without hope, over.
This is not easy to say, especially because I wish so much that it wasn't true. But I have to treat myself nicely and be with people that do the same, right?
NYC was ridiculously fun and just the break from the boy and thesis that I needed.
It involved drunken cab rides, sitting court side at Madison Square Garden (on two nights), drugs in bar bathrooms, high heels, American Apparel, much walking, seeing a girl puke into the subway rails, Zara, and other such fun adventures...
I'd like to say that I was going back soon but I don't think my wallet or my mental health can handle many weekends like that too soon.
My break up certainly wasn't aided by the fact that the boy's friend and I grew pretty close. Nothing happened, but people were nervous that things were. All I will say is this, having a guy friend who understood my position and just how ridiculous the boy was being helped me realize that his behavior wasn't just being a boy, but it was him and I would find someone else, better, someday. And we made out. (Just kidding!)
Oh, and in NYC roomie and I were asked to talk on a television show saying things that we would like to do (kinda like the MTV show Made) before we died. While roomie came up with brilliant ideas such as burlesque dancing, being a boxer etc., I stumbled with things. Would I like to drive a racecar? Not really. What about repel down a skyscraper? Nope. In the end I actually ended up saying that I didn't want to do anything adventurous (or crazy) I just wanted to lead a good life being kind to those around me. Isn't that enough?
I'm sure I was edited out.
My thesis is plugging along slowly. I shall not tell you much more then that because this is an EXCITING post for once. But what I will say is that I was awarded a grant for my research AND my very own office in the library. Pretty cool, eh?
Wow, I sound like such a nerd.
My sister got ARRESTED. For trespassing, as she was leaving a club. They made her get out of the limo she was in, so they could arrest her. Oh, AND they hurt her, leaving bruises. She did the whole mug shot, bail thing. Scary, huh? Luckily, she has a good case and lawyer, but how effin scary/stressful/awful is that?
(She's going to kill me for posting that).
That's all I can think of for now.
It's back to fabric swatches, online shopping and homework tomorrow....

It's been a busy week or two, and I'd forgotten to visit -- sorry to hear that things got unacceptable between you and the boy. Hang in there -- you may never get over him, but you will recover, and love another, perhaps more than one or two more, and quite possibly two or three times as much:-)
And what right does Roomie have to say what you say in your blog? She should count herself lucky to read it!

I have to say that things seemed more exciting when you were forgetting to tell us them on a regular basis....
