   Instead of writing here I…
   grocery shopped
   woke Dawg up so he could go to work
   filmed one or more Cereal Wednesdays
   chatted with the landlords
   cleaned my apartment
   did laundry
   obsessed over the idea that my dad might show up at my doorstep
   chanted “everyone go away”
   played with the kitties
   cooked and ate way too much food
   played with my Webkinz
   played Scrabulous
   watched the Top Chef reunion special
   watched part of an episode of GREEK (gah, yuck)
   tweeted
   read and commented on blogs
   stole, set as desktop, and stared at a picture Hello took of me and Dawg
   thought about B
   ignored a call from my mom so I could listen to her cheery voicemail
   listened to voicemails from Dawg
   received a call from Dawg and talked with him for a bit before he went to do overnight volleys with KC
   stared at George, Al, and Rips sleep
   contemplated going to the waterfront tomorrow rather than a movie
   bought a present online… or was it two?
   tried to blog but failed

   So, yah… that’s my day. :)

   Oh, and also, I…
   looked for an apartment
   contemplated just showing up to someone’s doorstep in Queens and busting my way into the house to live there
   looked for jobs
   found one but realized I don’t have a cover letter
   wrote a cover letter that literally says:
   I am relocating from [France] to Queens in order to be closer to family.
   I am passionate about computer security.
   I’m awesome.
   I’m awesome.
   I’m awesome.
   felt overwhelmed so gave up on apartments and jobs for today
   decided that I was never going to get to live in NYC or have a job there
   pouted
   realized that wasn’t true, it just felt that way
   ate ice cream

   Yoshi, thanks! I hope someone willing to pay me money to do work for them actually thinks that too.

   Here’s a picture of my Webkinz (Pwnie and Grrrusky) with Octopie:
   

   When you buy Webkinz animals you then go to webkinz.com and enter the codes that come with those animals so you can adopt them and then care for them in a virtual world. It’s like Sims, but for stuffed animals. Dawg gave them to me.

   Hmm just like Sims eh? damn. something else to play. But I don’t have any webkinz so i’ll not worry about that yet, unless meesh buys me one. LOL

   You put more in comments than most people put in an entire post. You rock.

   You are way more productive than me. I played Guitar Hero Aerosmith then went to a BBQ and drank beer. Then saw Hancock.

    You tricked me!!!

    I it when you give me surprises!!!

    I say go to the waterfront AND see a movie tomorrow (today)… but I need a phone call… at 1400hrs… so… you know… I can be awake and stuff.

    You are, absolutely, going to get to live in NYC.

    Is’OK sistah.

    BEE-bzzt, congratulations on your hit to the kidneys! I hope it was at least something good like PBR. (hehehehe!)

    Yoshi, terribly addictive. If you need something to consume all of your free time then drop the hints with Meesh. Now, if you’ll excuse me, *twitch* I need to go log in.

    Fogspinner, a happy ending!

    Dragon, thank you!

    Empanada, pardon me while I feel woefully sorry for myself, but that’s what I should have been doing yesterday but no one wanted to hang out with me.

    Dawg, I didn’t trick you! I wrote the post because of you! And then I felt compelled to share my day in the comments so that people didn’t worry why I wrote that. I hate writing something obscure then having people worry about me for no reason. And, don’t you worry your pretty pony head, no matter what I’m doing at 14h00 I’ll pause it and give you a call. (Best. Girlfriend. EVAR. I know.)

    Sparky, I’m not quite in the land of the awake yet, but when I am I’ll stop by to read your post. My brain is still screaming at me for having my eyes open.

    Britt, *pout* This must be what it felt like to have two homes to sell in Iowa when you were trying to move to Florida. I know intellectually that it will work out, but it just feels insurmountable. (Yes, I know I am pathetic today. It’s my insecure time of the month.)

    …and by kidneys I meant liver.

    Oh, for crying out loud, I’ve gone stupid.

    You should befriend Gilda on Webkinz World – she has 12 or 13 different Webkinz! She’d be thrilled to lay with you! (I show her your site a lot cause of all the cat pictures!) Whatever you do today, I hope it relaxes you, and makes you happy.
    You’ll find a place.

16. Sybil Law Says:
    July 5th, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Okay, so my misspelling is worse than your wrong word – I meant Gilda would love to PLAY with you.
    Haha

    Why didn’t you call me about the cover letter????

18. Maman Says:

    Is Webkinz world like that Neopet place… cuz my girls used to spend scads of time there contributing to the senseless slaughter of virtual neopets.

19. missbritt Says:
    July 5th, 2008 at 3:09 pm

    Um, yes. I imagine it’s exactly what it feels like.

    Wait. Have you gotten to the point yet where you’re standing in the backyard screaming at God and saying “you made a fool out of me!! Are you even THERE?!??!!”

    If so – it’s EXACTLY like that. LOL

    And yet.. here I am. Florida. ;-)

20. Poppy Cede Says:

    Sybil, I am a little paranoid about adding lots of Webkinz friends before I get the hang of it. Wanna feel my way around first before I end up a pervert with 50 billion friends under the age of 18, ya know?

    Avi, rectified. I love how you take it all so personally and yell at me that I don’t use you like a paper towel then throw you in the garbage. (It’s still weird to me that you’re being so helpful in getting me to where I wanna be. I’m still not used to that “nice friend” thing…)

    Maman, uh. There is no slaughtering in Webkinz world, AFAIK. ew.

    Britt, I’m about to start believing in God just so I can yell at him/her. But, yes, you’re my role model. You are where you wanted to be. And patience is a virtual. And blah blah blah I wanna be in New York al-damn-ready

21. Poppy Cede Says:
    July 5th, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    ahem. Patience is a VIRTUE.

    Freudian slip.

    i cracked the hell up at patience is a virtual.

    you always have a way of making me giggle. i like that about you!

23. Poppy Cede Says:
    July 7th, 2008 at 2:11 pm

    Hola, life is boring without the giggle.

    Are you good with being Spanish? Or would you prefer a differently languaged Hello? I could call you Ni Hao…

24. hellohahanarf Says:
    July 7th, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    hola sounds exotic and sexy. i’ll take it!
    (although in mexico this past february the only spanish i could speak was hotto and coldo. oh, and margarita!)

    My boss just walked in on me laughing at your comment.

    Your best friend:

    No me gustan los mariscos.

    Unless you like seafood, in which case:

    Me gustan los mariscos!

    (I’ll gladly throw obscure sentences at you in any of the following languages: Proper English , American English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, Arabic, and [in person only] American Sign Language. And yet the NSA refused me. Their loss!)

26. hellohahanarf Says:
    July 7th, 2008 at 4:04 pm

    i love seafood. mmmmmmmmmm! love! but i think after drinking the ice in the margarita or eating the fruit, my best friend was “get me to the nearest crapper quick.”

    i’d love to hear you say something (anything!) in mandarin chinese. and italian. and arabic. and all of them, actually. wish i would have known this while were in nyc. you are walking free entertainment. sigh. i love foreign languages.

    (i know enough asl to get me in or out of trouble. but not much more.)

27. Poppy Cede Says:
    July 7th, 2008 at 4:22 pm

    I recommend you hit me up for random Mandarin Chinese. I only know how to say polite things in Arabic and food things in Italian (duh) but I can say lots of random stuff in Chinese (including “where’s the bathroom?”) and I think my accent is adorable.

    I don’t eat seafood of any kind because (*gasp*) I don’t like the taste. Isn’t that awful? Not even because I’m allergic.

28. hellohahanarf Says:
    July 7th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    i am willing to bet your accent is adorable. and i am looking forwad to hearing your drunken random mandarin sometime. could be fun.

    more seafood for me! in fact, i just made plans for all i can eat crab legs next monday. those fuckers are SO gonna lose money on me. wheeeeeeee!

29. Poppy Cede Says:

    I’m so glad my boss already left for the day.

    Those poooooor legless crabs!!!
