I’m diggin’ this.
WatchUm so I associate weird songs with New Years. Here’s a banjo cover of Sondheim.
Kind of depressing New Years post.
Ignore at will.
This New Years is almost all about saying goodbye, but also hello. I’m saying goodbye to a two-year relationship. And to a lot of measures of stability I’ve had. And to my family (both blood and not).
It’s about saying hello to a new job. And saying hello to music, again. And to my new family of musicians in Brooklyn. And to thousands of branching roads. All...

Dear strangers who compliment my colorful pants,
Don’t just say “cool pants” and walk by me. It’s weird and makes you seem like a sociopath. Or a sarcastic asshole.
Sincerely,

This song. The context of hearing it last year while Alex was gone and then now and god.
Christ.
Ah yes, we're on schedule.
It is 11pm on Christmas eve and I am only now starting to listen to Christmas music.
And by that I mean Sufjan.
Ughhhhhhh
For the few people I got gifts for, I got awesome gifts.
But! I forgot to go to the best place for Christmas gifts ever. FAO Schwarz.
Like, it doesn’t even matter that no one ever really wants toys. Gonna set a reminder to shop there next year.

tayquan replied to your post: Alex is doing this thing right now…
This is one thing that I think I will never have in common with Alexander. Once I get over someone I get the fuck over them and it stays that way.
Stay strong, gurl. I’m sure Alex said the same thing 4 years ago.
Just be careful. It’s hard out there for a pimp. Etc.

Alex is doing this thing right now...
where he’s going out on dates.
Which is fine, I guess. I mean, I certainly am, but I was kind of put in this position so it’s a little different.
Anyway, he’s doing this thing where he’s cycling through exes. The other night he went out and stayed over with one of them, and now tomorrow he’s going on a date with another one.
Stick with what you know, I guess is...
“Every time I try to make something fun, you make it not… that… I...”

I am flipping out. I need to do this.
I need to brush up on my Irish accent but oh my god Glen and Marketa BUMMED A CIGARETTE FROM ME so obviously I deserve to be on Broadway.

I'm cutting back on cigarettes
Down to 5 or less a day unless I drink.
I thought because of this, I was getting a stomachache when I smoked for some reason. Nope. Figured it out.
Salvation Army bells give me a stomach ache. I wonder if I’m repressing being molested by a bell-ringer or something.
My brother works at a church.
Him: So what, you're gonna go to bed early? So you can get up early? And work for the Man?
Me: I... can't talk to you anymore. You work for THE Man.
Him: Yeah, I was about to say that.
Me: I work for the ghost of Steve Jobs.
Him: And I work for the ghost of Jesus Christ.

So apparently,
When you sleep next to someone for a year and a half, you can have a really hard time falling asleep without them there.
