consumed too much last night. ugh.
Goorin Bros. in Boston had a party last night. i obviously had a good time.
LOVE their store... wish i looked good in hats. my hair is just to epic for all that.
it is.

bought a SUPER cute pair of vintage levi cutoffs today at Bobby from Boston. great shop!! that store is full of treasures, especially for guys.

looked at my bank account today. still broke. my paycheck was 300 less than what i calculated it to be -after- taxes annnd my electricity bill was $30 more than it usually is. now i'm depressed.
i hate money.
sometimes money>happiness... which is a horrible, horrible feeling.


i signed up for a tumblr the other day. it's definitely helping me reclaim some inspiration.
sunday postage
check me out.

From a Migger to a Masshole.

haha. fyi, the illinoiS pals didn't like Michigander, so Migger was born.

So yea, i live in Boston now.

Celeste and i went to Brooklyn on Friday after my great interview with s5a, and boy was that a trip! i don't enjoy any of the old trains... esp the a, c, e, n, q, r. haha. they're soo creepy. the people are usually very interesting too. one guy on the A was literally eating his finger nails off of his hand. YUCK!!!x47. he didn't stop the entire time we were sitting near him. it was the worst when he was looking at me while doing it. wtf, man. THEN! he gets off the train and a guy with a book about diseases sits down. after we transfer to another train, a guy with many hospital bracelets on stumbles onto the train semi grabbing himself. he finally sits down and it is clear he does not have on underwear. ew. he continues the fondling and a girl he was sitting near moves to the other end of the train. eww. way to make the mistake of looking to the right. :( that was a fail, if you will.

We got off the train at the Clinton-Washington stop. such a beautiful area. i would definitely live there if i had the chance. it's much nicer and quieter than manhattan. then celeste and i got to a weird part of brooklyn. the macy's there was extremely gross. there was clothes, shoes, and literally garbage all over the floor. it looked like a discount store :( how sad. we decided that it was time to head back to manhattan. ugh, what an interesting trip! then it was time guacamole and margaritas at Mary Ann's around Chambers and Broadway. It was too good. we were still feeling adventurous and like "fatties," so we went to shake shack. haha. overload of yummy food that is absolutely not healthy.

Last night bill and celeste took me to Rack n Soul. MMM MMM MMM, soul food :) i'm going to miss those two soo much. they've really have become more than friends to me... they're more like family. though, celeste is like a mom and bill is like my twin brother. haha. she had quite the handful with having 2 "interesting" people in the house. i'm beyond grateful that they let me come live with them for roughly 3 months. what an amazing opportunity :) i'm very blessed.

This morning i headed off to Boston. so far, so good. i've been hanging out with my sister and her mafia boyfriend all day :) ok, he's not apart of the mafia, but he is italian and i just like to connect dots...even i'm creating the dots.
"you're in the friend zone... b****!!"  HAHA.

tomorrow will be my first day as a vegetarian/vegan-ish person. woohoo! i think i can do it, other people are doubting me. ha. (actually today.. i like to writes posts and not post them)

"you all have daddy issues."--whatever! i object!

So this is crazy and very scary. I was always afraid about a terrorist-type attack occurring while i lived in nyc. nyc is packed full of people, locals, tourists, and people who work in the city, and it's an island. if something extreme were to happen, how do you get off an island?! true, there's bridges and the lincoln tunnel, but it would be complete chaos causing more damage or the ways out would be inaccessible.
Anyway, this is what happened in Moscow.

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russian investigators combing two subway stations attacked by female suicide bombers think Chechen rebels may have been behind the rush-hour strike that killed dozens of people.

"Our preliminary assessment is that this act of terror was committed by a terrorist group from the North Caucasus region," Alexander Bortnikov of the Federal Security Service said of the investigation at one of the blast sites.

The two explosions that rocked the subway stations in central Moscow during rush hour killed at least 38 people and wounded more than 60 others, spawning widespread public outrage.

---I just don't understand people. violence isn't going to get you what you want. :(

I've got a new age girl...

I pretty much love this song and can't get it out of my head. HAHA.

So I've had enough with my medical issues and I've finally caved in to doing something about them. I've felt horrid  way too often the past two months, so I bought some meds and I'm seeking out a doctor. My big problem, other than footing the bill, is that I have no clue what kind of doctor I'm looking for. Who deals with "my internal organs hate me" type issues?? My ma is finally believing me that I'm in crazy pain, or maybe she's really sick of hearing me complain. ha. knowing her, it's the latter. Well, i only see one doctor for my yearly, and I don't think Roberto knows more than the vageen. eh, true story. Shoo, I'm still trying to pay off my last visit to him!! My insurance went from being the best, to the worst known to man. It's probably cheaper to say I don't have insurance!! ha. soo sad. But I told my ma i should probably figure this mess out before it's too late and i'm dead. i was way too lucky the last time. i'm so sick of being misdiagnosed though. :(

Anywhoo! I just watched Confessions of a Shopaholic :) gosh, i love me a good girlie movie that's not tooo girlie and cheesy. Isla Fisher, she's just too cute and seeing her makes me want to watch one of my favorite movies ever :)... other than the wedding singer and wayne's world, of course.

Thurs-

Took today off work to relax. It's been a pretty chill day, literally. They turned off the heat in our building because the weather has been semi-nice. wtf. i froze last night. i already sleep with two thin blankets and last night i had to find another blanket to help keep me warm... in addition to the hoodie i put on. it was miserable. so today we had no heat and no water. what a day! the water was shut off in the building so they could clean the tank.
Good things did happen though! I have 2 interviews tomorrow. One for a job i have no interest in anymore, and the other for a job that i want SO badly. I found a company who likes the things I'm into and so much more. hopefully it goes well. eek! Gosh, working on Newbury St. would be amazing too! Newbury St is dangerous. haha. That's one st. that i could go broke on and not think twice about it. yep, i'm a dork.

So yea, I'm moving to Boston in 2.5 weeks. I really like it there. Big city, but there's plenty of trees and nature and it's on the ocean and my favorite restaurant is there and i can go to vermont!! and i can go to maine and it'll only take 2hrs and i can go skiing alllllll winter long! haha, sounds funny coming from a girl who loathes winter and would do anything to live in AZ or NV due to the weather and scenery. Scenery is what does it for me. i'm guessing it's because i'm a artsy/fartsy fashion/photography lover, but i can't live somewhere that isn't interesting or breath taking. Boston may not have the cultural background i want to surround myself in, but it's great. It'll be awesome to see my sister and my bff Tracy more. It's just so hard to make pals in nyc and the scenery gets old after a while. there are some really great spots, don't get me wrong, but there's something unexplainable that's not meshing well with me. it could be that i don't totally have my own space to live, or like i said, it's hard to meet people here.. ugh and there's just too many people here! gah! haha. i imagine i'll wind up in nyc again. it would be hard to never be here again being in the fashion industry. i wish i would've been able to explore the other borroughs... Queens and Brooklyn to be exact. Yep, so operation Boss-town is Sunday, March 28.


So i'm obsessed with peanut butter truffles. ugh. they're going to be the death of me, if my insides aren't.
I had a cupcake from Billy's the other day, and while it was delightful, it was no Magnolia's cupcake. hehe.

My brother said it was 80 in Houston today. What a jerk.

Oh, and i have to have this BJ jacket. haha. i've been talking about how i want to buy or make something with a bustle for a while... and ask and you shall receive. ::sigh::

ruin me. lol.

i'm horrible at updating.

i finally went to the gym yesterday! i ended up going to the one in e. harlem, and it was fabulous! then i ruined my 3 mi run and half hour ab work out by going to The Shake Shack with Russell. That place was simply amazing!! i had caramel shake, because you can't go to a place that has the word 'shake' in the title and not get one!, and a cheeseburger. both were soo good! it was so good that i went there today with my pal/roomie. haha! we were going to have burgers regardless and i told her so much about shake shack, so we went there... but to the one on the upper west side. mmm peanut butter shake. yep, so i'll be running 4 mi. tomorrow! eek.

getting in shape is a pain. i wouldn't necessarily say that i'm out of shape, but things could be better. then again, a lot of it is out of my control. thank you surgery! and i'm 99.9% sure there's something wrong going on with my internal organs. i have a lot of scar tissue, and i'm supposed to get it removed through another surgery or steroids (LOL) but i haven't. scar tissue is a pain! i go through stints where any time i make a quit move or sneeze or laugh too hard, i buckle over in pain. i'm certain that something ripped inside of me the other day. eww! haha. yea, i was curled up in a ball on the floor for a few after that. oh, waah waah, right? eh, it sucks. oh, life. i really liked that gym, so hopefully i keep going... summer is coming up!! can't be a total skinny whale. HAHA. wow, i'm silly.

so things have been crazy lately. i worked 8 days in a row at the showroom. GAH! it was a lot of work and exhausting, but a lot of fun at the same time. i got to play sales rep at Coterie, and even opened a new acct for the sales rep. woohoo! it was nice to be given lots of responsibility and show that i can handle it. i made a new pal, and immediately told my ma that he was going to be my new bff. he's going to be the new sales rep at the showroom and he's completely adorable! he's from the LA showroom and is replacing someone at the nyc one. the reps invited me out with them last sunday, after the first day of Coterie, and i had a really good time. i'm glad they invited me out... it was nice to get to know the people i work with and some of the reps at the LA showroom that were in town for the tradeshow.

trying to find a real job is a pain. side note: it bothers me when people say, "don't you have a job?" or "so the job you have now is a fake one?" No, you idiot! i work a part time job that doesn't pay much more than lima beans an hour.. that is not a real job. i don't plan on working part time in a retail store after i paid over $60,000 for a degree!! oh, morons... can't stand them!!!! yep, that really fires me up. a real job= a career!! who the hell doesn't know that!! we only say that all through college (and after college when we can't find decent employment) about how we want real jobs and not half ass ones that barely pay.

any way, things haven't been going as planned in the quest for a real job. i had an interview, and ended up not getting the job. i was severely bummed. it's just so aggravating when you know you're qualified for a position and then you don't get it. i also love when i get a reply email saying, 'with all your experience in sales, why would you want to do merchandising?' then it asked something about my qualities for the job. idk, it was the rudest email i've received. it was clear that this guy didn't even read my resume or cover letter. one, at 16 you can't be a real merchandiser. two, if he took the time to actually read over my resume it's more than obvious that every job i've ever had i did merchandising. come on!! wtf do you think i do at a SHOWROOM?! haha. so i replied back with a "lovely" response to his Q's, and mentioned that he can refer to my resume more than once.

something good happened today! well, other than finding the betsey johnson jacket of my dreams!! celeste and i spent a little too much time at BJ, so we had to change locations of the second store we wanted to go to. we were trying to go to brooklyn to check out brooklyn industries, but we were running very short on time. instead, we went to soho location. we were chatting it up with two employees about the store--they're into sustainability and eco-design-- and how we think it's so great and how we're into that too. celeste mentions that i was interested in a job and the one person we were speaking with said that there might be someone in the store that i could talk to about the position. i ended up speaking with a guy about the boston location that is opening next month (on Newbury St of course!!) and i gave him my resume :) he told me to resend my resume to him at his personal email address and that he'd like to schedule a meeting with me next week when he gets back from boston. how exciting?! heck yea for being in the right place at the right time. things like this never happen to me. i check out his business card when i get home and to find out that i was chatting it up with the district manager. haha. wow. i really, really hope something great comes from this. i'd live in boston in a heart beat, and hell yes i would work on newbury st. i'm not going to get my hopes up about it, but the whole situation was really awesome. i don't want to be pessimistic, but i'm not going to be totally optimistic.
everything is kind of crazy. i have no clue where i'm going to be in 30 days. i have to be "out" of my current living arrangement by March 31 and  i'm not sure where i'll be headed. i was "invited" to stay in boston for a bit for fun/try to find employment... or i can go back to MI. a part of me wants to go home.. mostly for silly reasons, like pals, but there's no work for me there. more than likely, if i don't find something in the city, i'll be going to boston for a bit... then i'll crawl back to mi :( the upside to going home is that i can work my lovely 2 jobs, possibly a 3rd one, and save money to move. gah. this being grown thing is hard. ha.

now time for some funny/inappropriateness!
You say it like i'm judging you. i don't care if you went ATM with him. (hahaha!)
A big hot mess of fun. like a syringe full of blow and H. (i suppose that's a compliment! matty!)
plan po shouldn't be an option.
oh please. getting no sex is better than terrible sex.

fml.. im destined to live with my parents the rest of my life! and the weird "salesman," or street telemarketer as i like to call them, who i decided to give my number to just txtd to ask if i smoke weed. insult to injury much?

i need to voice a complaint with the maker of my aftershave/cologne who listed no label or warning against applying to fresh shaved ----- (note to readers: i'll let you fill in the blank. haha! as if other things i've posted above aren't risque enough) ...think home alone. (haha.. <3 )
monkey suits/jammies are cute for little kids, we'd just look like we were in the "Bad Touch" video. HAHA!
