Pacing the perimeter of Pleasure Bay, my feet hurt real bad because I was wearing the worst pair of non-matching patterned no-show socks ever so I could pass off as wearing my wonderfully multi-cultural deck shoes sockless. I had a maritime theme going on, what with those shoes and my anchor necklace that kept getting caught in my cream-colored lace tanktop layered under a cashmere cardigan-hoodie. Oh, and I wore a skirt, too—American Apparel, of course—this sort-of-nautical chiffon skirt that you have to wear high in your waist so it doesn't look awkward. My friend was wearing some American Eagle polo and some shorts. He considered boat shoes, too, but decided against it in favor of re-sensitizing his feet to flip-flops.
I know, it's March, but it was warm so we hit the beach anyway.
The beach was pretty empty except for the locals that swarmed around this one food shack and after our lunch, we just sat there at the tables enjoying the view and judging all the South Boston residents that passed us. South Boston is where all the working class Irish Americans settled and they're basically our local counterpart to the rednecks, thick regional accent included. These are the people you see walking around outdoors in sweatpants with a Red Sox tee and a baseball cap. Sweatshirt hoodies are "in" and among the women, yoga pants are all the rage. They shop at "Wal-Maht" and watch sports religiously.
Eying a fat dude in a Red Sox cap, my friend tells me that out of all cultures, he's the harshest on Americans. How they don't really care about how they dress and how half the guys are all exactly the same. Another portly man walks by, virtually indistinguishable from the first guy, same cap on his head.
A man with tattoos all over his body talks to his wife dressed in a black tracksuit and I wonder if the Chinese characters on his neck are "ironic".
The funniest thing was that everyone you looked at was dressed for a different temperature. There were people who showed up in their windbreakers even though it was 70 degrees. One girl I saw was wearing short shorts. And this one guy wore both a winter jacket and plaid shorts. Probably couldn't make up his mind.
We got bored pretty fast so we left for the sand itself where we set our beach towel, played black and white Game Boy games and ate Airheads. We took impressionistic photographs of me facing the ocean, my skirt blowing in the wind.____________________ About the author: A prolific contributor to Jul with some 2422 posts published, Sofi better fancies herself as a cinema geek, a composer, a vintage gamer, a budding fashionita, an absolute cooking newbie and a general life enthusiast-satirist.

Have the old stuffy "you have a cold" nose and associated taste in my mouth.
On the other hand, I have no other symptoms that would confirm that I, indeed, do have a cold.
I'm chalking this up to some sort of bug not exactly achieving its full effect on my body. Or it's some freakish anomaly.

Oh, nothing, which is precisely why.
I'm over it now, but it was depressing for awhile, that five years of friendship was so easily walked away from.
Um? After five years of friendship, you may know that I'm not the best at starting conversations. Maybe the fact that it's hard to have a conversation with you without it being all about you is part of the reason we haven't talked in two months. Maybe it's because you blatantly disapprove of decisions I've made (because hey lets look down on the guy who WAITED UNTIL HE WAS LEGAL AGE to start drinking). Maybe because I don't know how to work the fact my grandma's dying into a conversation. Maybe that's taking priority over trying to talk to you. Maybe it's because you're so damn busy taking 6 (or is it 7) courses this semester that it's hard to find time to spend with you. God forbid you plan something, I guess I'll just have to memorize your schedule.
Jesus, maybe it's because my life is relatively free of this shitty drama when you and I aren't talking.

I should have had pie today.
Instead I had a gigantic Fat Burger with a poutine. I suppose that'll have to do.

This is the part where Sponty is getting tired of the passive-aggressive guilt trip messages he's getting from his 'friend'.
Protip: ignoring generally means I go out of my way to make myself unavailable to you. Unless my Facebook account became sentient and blocked you, I'm as available as ever.

*glares at his NCAA bracket and the horrid mess that is his South Region bracket*
...Way to go, Wichita State. And UConn. And UNLV.

so I see a post on tumblr
Hi guy, I give up on life so I'm going to be a wino and aimlessly wander the world in a drunken haze. So. I mean. I might update my blog a little less. If anyone takes issue with this or has concerns, let me know.
So I reply with "did you secretly copy my dreams in life?"
Five minutes left get a message from the person.
"We could wander aimlessly together, if you like."
Not sure whether to be flattered or creeped out?
I reply with "well I'd never have a problem with wandering aimlessly. :p"
Two minutes later: "Oh yeah okay."
._.
I.. what?

Feeling like a disappointment to the world. Bleh.
Not enough of a reason to make a post in OC. Just feeling shitty.

Must find a clean SMW rom, because apparently the one I have is bad checksum, bad checksum everywhere.
Also, huh, I forgot my aunt was adopted.  And I didn't even know my dad had a step-sister who my grandpa lost custody of when his first wife died.

Oof. Just spent the past 5 hours doing nothing but uploading models. I'm probably going to dream about it.

Apparently I haven't posted yet this year.
I am pretty lazy/quiet/apathetic.
