wooden lips.

This morning running slightly late as I was checking NextMuni I decided I need to start getting up earlier again and stop sleeping in until 8. When I saw I could make the next N in ten minutes I got comfortable talking with Sarah. Then I realized I looked up the wrong line and the N was actually coming in 4 minutes. damn. I left the house planning on taking the 71 or the 6 downtown.
I approached the bus stop at the same time as the bus. While I was counting my change the guy next to me asked if I could break a 5. I said no and that I only had 3. He looked around for a nervous second as I said - You know what I'll just pay for you. Get on the bus. He looked a little dumbfounded so more encouragingly I said - Well, come on. and he stepped up onto the bus. As I was paying our fares he started to go down the bus asking every person if they could break a 5. no one could/would.
He sat across from me and we exchanged names. His: Collin. Mine: Katie (duh) I told him to not worry about it ...it's only a buck fifty. He told me I was very sweet. I lightly blushed and smiled as if to say both "I know" and "Thank you"
Small talk about where we live.. where we were going... and karma was had.
It's probably a good thing to start the day off with good karma.

I've been in denial since Thursday morning that I am getting sick. Yesterday I was sure it was allergies. But half way through the day at work everything was really heavy and it took all my energy to do anything. By the time Sarah showed up to give me my house key back I was feeling exhausted and hot. I can't smell anything. I felt useless with any customer. Everything I eat has a muted taste. And now there's this cough starting.
being sick is the stupidest thing.

Arseniy

I found some quotes by Arseniy in an old notebook of mine. All were made within a 20 minute time span one day when we were both at home. also, they were all shouted to me from his room. Damn, I miss that Russian.

"oooooh! i was supposed to add the sauce AFTER boiling the noodles. I'm a retard. God damnit. I need a wife, dude." - arseniy

"okay so, katie. i clean my room everyday. like every fucking day. but at the end of the day it's filthy again. i mean it's not filthy, but there is just shit everywhere. i feel like i need to get a hold on that before i can be a complete human being." -arseniy.

"hey, katie. no one else has taken me up on this offer. but if you ever need it, i have an abundant supply of hot chocolate... or cocoa i guess you Americans call it. so yeah, i have a bunch.... i keep it in the drawer with my condoms and vitamins." –arseniy

p.s. (mostly this is to Jordan and Jenna... because i think you are the only two who get excited when i write new things) real blogs coming soon. i've been writing in journals for the past few months (with real pens!!!) and have been neglecting this here blog.
