dark humor is wonderful, it allows you to complain without seeming like a whiny idiot.
so screw being a grown up, i say. i’d rather be a baby. i miss my mommy. i miss my best friends. i bought a huge stack of postcards today and i plan on writing a lot a lot. i miss chipotle, which i told carl about, and then couldn’t quite explain why i missed it since i’ve never been into mexican food, and i’m not that into chipotle. i think it’s about my last memory associated with the place: easy conversation, laughs, wonderful old friend so comfortable, like a worn in leather couch (and i swear they put something in the rice that hooks you. cocaine?!).
it’s weird, i can’t quite bring myself to write about paris, although i’ve seen gorgeous things and met cool people. all i want to do is talk about how coming here has made me see the connection between me and my mama. i mean, it’s never been like this for me. maybe because she’s never been quite this much out of reach. this connection that i think everyone else knows better than i do. for the first time, i feel like a baby snatched from the womb, all cold and shivering and covered in blood and placenta and poop and all i want is a hug from my mama.
for a while, this blog is going to be about my inability to cope, and neediness, and an analysis on the salt content of tears and their stain making qualities. if that’s your cup of tea, this is the place for you my friend.
Nerds’ butt smells like peaches. No, literally like peaches. Or more like the cosmetic interpretation of peaches rather than the real thing. Now, see, I don’t own any peach scented beauty products. I’m not a hussy. So I can only assume that it rubbed off of some skanky stuffed monkey he’s been rolling around with. He won’t answer my questions. He’s been lying face down, sulking all weekend, presumably because he’s missing out on some peach flavored ass.
It’s hard living with a boyfriend.
I am getting drug tested today and PMS-ing for the first time since I got off birth control. Everything’s so intense, everything evokes an emotion. Crying is more satisfying.
Just Jack’s album Overtones is craveable. Better than a big mac.
I suck at flirting, especially the grown-up kind. I stood in the company cafeteria this morning, ordering my bagel, when a 30-something executive type walks up beside me.
Suit: What should I get?
Zin: (slightly confused) The bagels are good.
Suit: Really? (To girl behind the counter, while gesturing to me) Hola Senorita! I’ll have what she’s having. (Winks)
*my bagel emerges from the toaster
Suit: That’s a good looking sandwich.
Zin: It’s a beaut.
Suit: What?
Zin: Um. I said, it’s a beaut.
Suit: Yea! You should throw some Tabasco sauce on that.
Is this what the dating world is like in your late thirties? Can’t think about that right now, will attempt to contemplate when I’m a little more emotionally stable next week.
I should go find his cubicle.
Peace.
