how fast can time go by?

as apparent from the past two weeks, it can go by lightening speed.

i don't even know where to begin. I am not going to bore anyone with all the details about what's been up.. but in general it consisted of a lot of hanging out and seeing old friends. I've put off sleeping to hang out more than usual, and that is coming to bite me in the ass today. The trip to South Bend/Chicago was really great. I went in the B+W photo booth with joseph and chris and got really awesome pix out of it. however, i was so tired that by the end of the night all i could do was get aggitated and keep saying "i'm not staying in chicago tonight. we're leaving tonight. i'm not staying." i was able to enjoy all the great company, though. Chase's band was really good and it was so cool to see a crowded room at a local show! they seem to have a pretty decent following. maybe it's just because chicago is cooler than lansing, but when a room is full and everyone is watching the band it makes me think they are going to 'make it' even on some small scale.

today i had to wake up at 7am for a work meeting, which was pointless. and all my coworkers talk about the AM behind her back and also this girl Katy, who is getting fired anyway. part of me likes being in on the gossip, but mostly i feel bad. i don't like when people are hating on other people, especially in a work setting. i guess i am just insecure and think they could be talking about me, too. they tell me they like me, though. it still doesn't make the whole situation any better. the thing is, I like the AM! I mean, she's a little strung out and 'by the book' but she's just doing her job and she's pretty funny and very efficient.

anyway. i took a two-hour nap today and am drinking coffee now. i work in a bit, which i am not looking forward to, but will gladly accept any and all hours.

hoping everyone is having a good day.
