hmm...okay. i feel like i haven't blogged in a while, even though i just blogged yesterday. it seems like what happened yesterday was a lifetime ago even though i've been glued to the telly from the moment i woke up. you know, i realized earlier today while i was watching the news that dan rather and peter jennings both hadn't changed their clothes. which meant that they'd been sitting in that chair repeating themselves for over twenty-four hours. well okay, so they weren't literally repeating themselves, but i'm sure it got awfully tedious for them. but then again, there were rescue workers out there who also had been working for over twenty-four hours and, clearly, their job is worse. like everyone else, i really wish i could help and, like everyone else, the only thing i can think of is to donate blood. but i can't even do that because: 1) you must be at least 110 pounds and i'm fifteen to twenty pounds underweight (no, i am not anorexic or bulimic, i just have genes that give me chicken legs) and 2) you cannot have had a tattoo or piercing in the last twelve months. :-/

okay okay, i don't really want to talk about this any more. i wasn't supposed to talk about it at all in this blog, but...well...too late. so what have i been doing lately besides watching dan rather and peter jennings? packing. sporadic and random packing. where the fuck did i get so much fucking clothes?!? last year, i managed to stuff ALL my clothes into a large suitcase and two duffel bags, even though, obviously, i continued to shop and acquire more clothes over the year. THIS year, i actually had to sit on my suitcase to get it to close, and i have to stuff my clothes into two extra large bags. it was then that i realized that the amount of clothes that a girl has are like kids: you turn your back for two seconds and they both double in size.

oy...i don't know if everything's gonna fit into my dad's avalon. my parents have slowly been putting stuff into our guest room downstairs for me to take down to san diego like a rice cooker, cases of soda, pots & pans, utensils, etc. and for some reason, it just looks like it will not all fit into the car ALONG with the stuff i've been packing upstairs. i dunno, man...it's gonna be a bit of a squeeze. you know the part of packing that makes me the most frantic? trying to remember to pack all the random stuff...like school supplies, books, cds, photo albums, etc.

oh, about the blog that disappeared on sunday...i don't really feel like rewriting it. whatever. it's just a blog. hmm..la de da...dunno what else to say. i think i'm gonna try to add some stuff into that sidebar on the right. knowing me, i'll probably screw it up and get all pissy and wind up with like twenty seven weird and useless posts.
