How does one go about "getting a life?"
I want to live in a Star Trek universe.
Any one. Not that this is a new thing, really. All I’ve ever really wanted from life was to live in space.
Things I will be done with as soon as I'm done...
being awkward around my roommates

being awkward around everyone else

This weekend.
I’m going to my grandparents house this weekend because we finally sold it. It’s a block or so from lake Michigan, with a big backyard and a magnolia tree in the front. It was such an important part of my childhood, and the fact that in a month or so I will no longer be able to visit saddens me.
The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and...

I move into my house for the summer and...
I didn’t realize until I was halfway down the street. By the time I got back to the house, everyone else had gone out and I was left there panicking. It was after 9 pm of course, so when I eventually used the giant trash can to climb through the bathroom window, I felt like a criminal. There wasn’t even any point to me breaking into the house - my keys were locked up in my...

THE JIG IS UP. WE KNOW YOU WANT A TALL BLACK TEA...
147xxxx:
We have this customer who comes in all of the time; today he came in twice. The weird thing about this guy is he tries to give the impression that he’s not a regular. He gets up to the register and goes “heyy… umm… can I have a… black tea latte?” Usually in the middle of this performance, he’ll lean back and start squinting to find it on the menu board like he’s getting it for the...
Whenever I don't respond to one of my mom's texts,
she will text me something like this: “r u ok?” or “how r u?” Because there’s clearly something the matter with me. Possibly death, who knows.
Oh yeah, and I'm twenty one now...
I am going to make my parents take me to a restaurant where I can get wine or something!
Things I can't wait to do when I'm home:
-go to the farmer’s market in Detroit
-go to this urban farming thing; help them farm! This sounds so cool…
-go shopping for new shoes/dresses/skirts
-go to the DIA
-get my hair cut
-drive a car (a brief respite from the bus and all the crazy people who ride it)
-pet my cat
So, I don't really understand this. But it has...
My roommate has the fewest belongings EVER. And I have roomed with two different international students - they both had more stuff than her.
So, in addition to having no stuff, she has a car - so why does she need her mom to come help her move out? There’s no need, at all. And like, thanks for telling me Amy, so that I could clean up my disaster zone a little. I bet they’re taking...

I want to marry the new Star Trek movie.
Why do they all have to be so good looking? Attractive men + scifi = BEST THING EVER.
