I’ve been putting off writing more here because I have so much to say. I’m overwhelmed, and when I’m overwhelmed I get paralyzed.

We took a road trip to California, it was amazing. Vanessa drove the whole way. Let’s hear it for supergirl! We had so much fun, and we have lots and lots of pictures that I will be posting soon.

In other news, work has been hectic, as usual, and I don’t want to go to school anymore. I have senioritis beyond bad. It is tres bad. Feichang bad. I CANNOT fail any classes though, because it will screw up my going to NYC plans.

I’m full of vim and vigor about the move to the big Apple. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. My campaign to lose weight so I won’t be a Fatty in the City is in full force. I’m munching bran muffins and shunning all trans fats and bad carbs, and doing my Walking Away the Pounds with Leslie Sansone, and I’m thinking thin. Think thin, think thin, think thin.

I’m closing the book on Booger Boy. He loves me not.

On the other hand, I’ll always have New York.

I love New York Magazine, and they do this questionaire that is great. I’m going to pretend that I’m in New York, and that I’ve been interviewed.

Name: Tai Anderson
Age: 25
Job: graphic designer
Neighborhood: uh… this is where pretending gets sticky. I’m gonna say Chinatown, because, well, why not?
Who’s your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional? Jack McCoy.
What’s the best meal you’ve eaten in New York? Julie and I had gyros off a street corner once that just killed. We gorged ourselves silly, raving between bites, and then couldn’t move for about 2 hours. It was glorious.
In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job? I design what I have to, and spend the rest of the time wishing I was in New York. Oh, I and I put up with insane people.
Where do you get your coffee? Mormon. No coffee.
What’s the last thing you saw on Broadway? Wicked.
Do you give money to panhandlers? Every once in a while.
What’s your drink? Diet Dr. Pepper.
How often do you prepare your own meals? Three to five times a week. The rest of the time I scavenge.
What’s your favorite medication? Tylenol PM. But only when I have an earache or a headache. I don’t like pills.
What’s hanging above your sofa? A large mirror. It used to be a map of New York back when it was New Amsterdam. Now it’s on the opposite wall.
How much is too much to spend on a haircut? Depends on who’s giving it. The best haircuts I’ve ever gotten were $35 and free, respectively. I’m prepared to spend much more, but have never needed to.
When’s bedtime? Whenever I run out of stuff I’d rather be doing than sleeping. Sleep is a waste of time.
Brunch: pro or con? Sunday brunch is one of the best things ever. But only at home, because I don’t want to have to get up and get dressed to relax.
What’s your thread count? 200 I think. I don’t care for top sheets. I think they’re a waste. Give me bottom sheets and a nice quilt and I’m good to go.
What do you hate most about living in New York? No family there.
What’s your brand of jeans? Levi’s. Fancy jeans are ridiculous.
When’s the last time you drove a car? Today, to work.
Who should be the next president? McCain or Edwards. I always choose the ones that don’t stand a chance.
Times, Post, or Daily News? The New York Times, of course.
Yankees or Mets? Snore.
What makes someone a New Yorker? When you think heaven looks like Central Park.

Loud.

i am so tired. Just got back from road trip to Calee-FORN-aye-ey. Took feichang forever. Will ‘splain more later.
Gonna fall asleep.

Thank goodness Vanessa didn’t.

Re: Bald Britney. Good for her. I’m assuming it will save her from accidentally lighting her hair on fire when she falls asleep while smoking.

There’s a famous person named Tai Anderson. I’m quite ticked about it, actually.

He’s the bassist for the Christian rock band Third Day. YES! A HE!

My parents named all of the other children in my family nice gender specific names… but me? Nooooooooo.

How awkward to google yourself… only to come up with a man.

I’m listening to the Beatles.

It’s not true that all you need is love. But I’ll tell you what. Valentines’ Day is a good day. I got some lovely valentines today, so I’m in a very good mood.

We’re moving to a new office next week, and someone, who must not be named, wants us to arrange all of our desks so that the monitors face out, so that she can see what we’re working on when she walks in.

Someone is taking a little too much Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Paranoia is a symptom, you know.
