co-worker says to me as he points to pictures of my friends and i on my desk: 

"See that beautiful girl with that bright smile on her face?  Give me one good reason why anyone should take that smile away."

Back from vegas.  Pictures and stories to come.

"what's in Mexico?"

- "Mexicans"

you have six different smiles.  one for when you did something that you're proud of yourself for, one for when you realize you did something stupid, one for when  you're talking to a complete idiot who can't hold a conversation, one for when you start to feel buzzed, one for when your dog greets you when you come home, and one for when you look at me. 

many people live in different dimensions of time.  many live in the past, many live for what the future holds or what the future will bring, some live for now. 

fell asleep 2x in class last night.. worked an 11 hour day today.  I've been so caught up in work and school that I haven't had time to treat myself to a manicure! its been waaayyyy too long. 

"I  want to feel the warmth of your skin, I want to run my fingers through your hair.. I want to feel the softness of your lips".. "if only you would give me the chance, I'd treat you the way an extraordinary woman like yourself deserves to be treated.  You are beautiful not only on the outside, but the inside as well.  And yes, you fit the old soul in a young body mold, by far.  You have left a lasting impression ellen, one that will last forever."

oh my goodness!!   what does a young woman say to something like that?  That is the sweetest thing anyone has said to me in many, many months, maybe longer.  goodness, I think I'm blushing

yesterday they were shooting a movie right across the street from my job.  I stood across the street from Tony Shaloub, the father in 13 ghosts.  I watched them do the same scene about 6 times in a row.  I got bored and went back to work.  also ran into vbman during my cigarette break. 

I miss our typical summertime chill spots.  Anyone up for hooters? lol

"time passes by too fast.. and eventually you'll lose someone you love for one reason or another..  so take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt before -  because life is too short, and we only have one."

funniest thing i've seen on the F train all week:  guy w/ a patch sewn onto his messenger bag saying "remember my name... 'cuz you'll be screaming it later"
