forgot to tell you

i saw an orthodox jew on stilts, just walking down the street.

went to michigan this weekend for meaghan's birthday and i got to see her family. they crack me up. it's like the fun family that i never had. i mean, of course i had a family, but we aren't really any fun. i went to lunch with my uncle, grandpa and parents today and my grandpa never speaks, my uncle talks incessently about cameras and my parents...i don't know. my mom sat across the table from me this morning, sorta staring at me. i asked her what she was doing and she said 'nothing. you're just pretty'. i told her she was being creepy.

meaghan's party was fun. erin showed up post a horrible wedding event and was incredibly wasted and kept telling me the same stories over and over again. i felt kinda bad about letting her drive home, but i did try to get her to stay and i wasn't about to tackle her in the hallway, but maybe i should have. lola and i visited kevin. he looks a little chubby. it was nice to see him, even though he's all stressed out and unhappy, but i feel like that's how he's been forever. first it was about me and now about kathy. he'll maybe never be happy. he goes from happy and in love to sad and miserable and alone. there's never an alone and ok phase with him. his mom tried to accuse us of going to the store to buy booze, which is pretty funny. i'm pretty much the last person who would be doing that. i didn't even realize what she was talking about at first, but then figured out that she thought we left to get vodka when really i just wanted a blank dvd so i could steal a bunch of music.

i think he and i have reached a point where we can be friends. i don't think this would have been possible before he started seeing kathy, although he made comments about being glad that i wasn't going to make out with anyone at meaghan's party and that i looked pretty and when he asked me about la and i told him where i thought i would live he said 'is that where pk lives?' all snide. but, whatever. erin said that he's too big of a project and i shouldn't even be his friend, but he's not my project anymore so...

this old man did the most ass holey thing to me. i stopped at the gas station in indiana and went into the station. when i came out, there was a dude in front of my in a truck that was towing some sort of big machine so i couldn't pull forward to get out, i would have had to back out. when i went to turn my car on, i saw this old man stop behind me, perpendicular to me, and get out of his car. he then proceeds to walk toward my pump...so i get out of the car and ask him to let me out before he starts pumping. he proceeds to tell me that he's not moving, and when i ask him who does that? and told him he was an ass hole he told me that i was an ass hole. i yelled at him some more and then had to just sit in my car and wait. arg. so frustrating.
