Holiday In The Rain

So I haven't blogged in a long time....and most of it is due to my love/hate relationship with blogs...generally more hate than love...anyway today something particularly blog-worthy occurred: I met the Olsen twins.


Now before you judgeeee me like the cover of a book (this will be funnier later), I urge you to consider your own childhood and certain tv shows with certain annoying but super catchy theme songs....I was a pretty big fan...member of the fan club etc etc So anyway I was excited at the opportunity, lame as it was.

Basically what happened was that they were having a book signing at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square. I've actually known about this for a month or so...I even had it written down in my PLANNER mmhm so I went and then the jackasses at B&N tell me oh you have to BUY the book to even SEE them. I'm pised. (yeah, p-i-s-e-d). I think shit that really sucks I could've washed my hair....I called my dad to vent and at the end of that conversation I decide to buy the book, even though I had $9 in my account to last me until Saturday. Wow. Anyway I knew the book sucked but I did really want to see them and act like I don't give a shit. So I bought the book, went to the line and actually didn't wait that long.

I walked up to the desk, they looked at me and smiled....(a smile becomes a wince after a thousand or so crying idiots) and I said "hey, guys" (acting, acting), Ashley said "how are you?" and I said "I'm kinda full" (I was literally carrying my bag, umbrella, the book, the receipt, the instruction sheet, my jacket, etc) and walked away. It was over pretty fast, but as I was going down the escalator, they were leaving and walked right by me. I yelled "Bye, Marykateandashley!" They TURNED AROUND and WAVED goodbye as I waved with my fingers. Yep. It felt good.

Rewind

"Nobody's hoping for better days
No one knows what to do
You're ok in your secret place
No one bothering you."

This group of words is used in a song called "The Weather". This is a song that I am lucky enough to be listening to at this moment. The luck part is entirely relative, since I made the conscious choice to listen to it. Nevertheless it is a good song.

I am writing because I can't sleep. It is a problem of seemingly gargantuan proportions. Maybe. I keep thinking of quick solutions to get me to REM. Some pills maybe, or some alcohol.....I don't have either. So I have to resort to good old fashioned productivity. Maybe a glass of warm milk...I've heard that helps....I've had this problem before and I never thought it would happen again. It is extremely disconcerting...moving on to Silversun Pickups....so I tried calling a couple of people I know go to bed generally late to talk....take my mind off of my taunting pillows and disheveled comforter and sheets...But I shouldn't make my sleeping problem anyone else's... try as I might.
