Today was alright. We went to the children's hospital to say bye to one of our board members, this bigshot transplant surgeon who's moving to Cincinnati. The surgeon showed us the different types of artificial hearts he gives kids and I gave him a glass paper weight etched with our nonprofit's logo, which I thought was a pretty dumb gift.
We went to the dialysis unit and got a tour of the sick kids whose kidneys failed due to rare genetic disorders. Awful awful. Though they had them watching movies and working with writers in the schools and art therapists and such so at least someone's doing something.
Back at the office I flipped through the notebook I'd been taking fake notes in and saw it was one of Hunter's. Don't know how it got here. Have been reading his scribblings all evening-- songs he wants to learn to play on the banjo, an idea for an open source bicycle blueprint, musings on Kripke, etc. On one page he's just written "Good song:'Hey Boy' by The Blow." I don't know, it's all really adorable and makes my heart hurt.

Who knew a joke about setting fire to an ex's apartment would get me, like, 50 new followers on twitter. Maybe I'll be fake popular on the internet just like I always dreamed.

The girls who work across the hall from me were waiting for the elevator when one said to the other, "I like it when the weather's nice." Do you also like food, sleeping, and movies? Just, some things don't need to be said out loud. So I rolled my eyes without thinking and they both saw me! Then we had to ride up in the elevator together in silence. SO PAINFUL. Why am I such a bitch.

We went to Boheme Tuesday for Mo's birthday and Hunter was like, "Wait, which one is mo again?" I invited Allison & Deane and they both asked, "Who's Mo?" Mo used to date Eva's friend Natalie. I guess we kind of crashed happy hour. Allison bought us vodka ginger lemonades and Deane said something about maybe buying a house. I want a house. I saw a perfect one on Castle Court yesterday so once I get a 2,000% raise I will buy it
um according to this dress I've gained 20 lbs.

I don't usually laugh at The Office but in the latest episode Ryan gets jealous that Kelly (his ex) is dating someone who is nice to her. And he tells everyone, "It's weird... I'd rather she be alone than with somebody. Is that love?"
Then he professes his love for her in the parking lot from atop an Arabian horse and says something like, "Kelly Kapor I want to marry you. Not any time soon. But eventually, or that's how I feel right now. Will I feel this way tomorrow? Probably not. Would I be faithful in our marriage? No, but most marriages fail. Besides, men aren't designed to be faithful anyway, I have an article about that I'll send to you. But right now I love you forever."
I doubled over on the couch laughing as Hunter just looked at me, perplexed.

Got free tickets to Sleigh Bells at Warehouse.
Eva walked into what she thought was an empty stall to find a girl on her knees doing lines. E: "The coke didn't surprise me but why was the door unlocked? So weird."
talking trash on twitter. the filter on this photo makes me look like my chest is bruised.

Came home tipsy from Sleigh Bells and picked a fight with Hunter. Accused him of not being negative enough. "You make me feel like a bad person because you're always so goddamn positive and nice." I was really reaching. I later apologized, of course. I'm good at that. Then we put on the Daily Show and he fell asleep in my lap while I scratched his head.

Here's me making surprised eyes at Hotel Zaza's Spring Scene private party with Sarah, food & wine editor at CultureMap. She gets me into all kinds of swanky events. Minutes after this I half blacked out and had to put my head between my knees. Donating blood makes drinking crazy fun.

It's Donate Life month so I'm at the hospital talking to unsuspecting strangers about organ and tissue donation. I'm not sure why we don't have an opt-out system where you're presumed a donor unless otherwise specified. It's that way in europe. I guess good ole 'merica would see it as socialism or something.

The gym has been closed since Thursday "for Easter" (how Catholic can a place get?) and I'm devastated. Maybe I should join a real gym though that'd require money.
Considered bringing out the bike for a spin but I'm so over that fixed gear and everything it stands for. "Hey let's not have brakes, or jobs!"
I enjoyed fixed gears for about two months. Ok that's a lie, I enjoyed the hell out of that bike for at least two years. I tricked it out all pretty: blue pedals, baby blue tires, pink wraps, sparkly pink cages with pink leather straps, pink lights, pink & blue mouse mask in the spokes, pink fanny pack for the seat (which was then stolen outside of Boondocks/ some sketch's apartment with my set of pink tire levers & wrenches), etc. And I stripped off the paint (and a layer of my skin) all by myself so it was shiny chrome.
But I also used to wear ripped jean cut offs. I didn't brush my hair and dated only down town messengers and dead beats who, deep down, couldn't stand me. Ick. I guess mostly I don't like the person I used to be when I rode that bike around. Now I'd rather have something practical so I don't have to time my turns to keep the cages from hitting the rims or stand on the pedals to make it up the smallest incline. Something sleek with working brakes and clicking gears for climbing hills and going places, like really going places, not just fucking around Montrose. I better stop before this all becomes even more of a weird metaphor for my life.

Went to a crafting circle (I'm not kidding) at Poison Girl for a late happy hour. Look at me leaving the house before sun down and hanging out with other girls. Trying to get myself more female friends and hit the jackpot last night. They're funny, hip and have real careers and hey they even drink. I mean I wish they drank more but no one is perfect. I also went to the gym and saw my therapist, all this before I touched a beer. It helped that I got off work at 4 p.m. My therapist seems to think my shit is together alright and I would agree if it weren't for this morning's nightmare in which Lady Gaga attempted to stalk me "to the death" (Gaga's words, not mine) and had a skull made of steel. I found out this detail while trying to bash her head in. Why. Won't. You. Die. When her stalking started I was like, "Dude so maybe I'm not you're number one fan, but I don't hate you or anything." But she flew into a rage, "you make my blood boil!" so I had no choice but to slam her pretty blonde head into the pavement. Woke up panicked & freshly reassured of my emotional instability.

The weather's been pretty, though the only real time I spend outside is walking to and from the gym. It's a nice walk.
magic day at the Menil
Rothko chapel reflection pool. My friend lives right across the street from here. While walking to her front door late Friday night someone robbed her at gunpoint.
And here are James, Hunter, and Eva after finding a geo cache.
Aw Hunter's so handsome.

Today Hunter and I rented a jet ski and saw a pod of dolphins. Stopped and jumped in the water and made dolphin calls for like 10+ minutes but none of them would come high five me with their fins. Jerks.
