pink patterned paper

i'm cold and itchy. stupid allergies. today i was telling knickers that i was wearing my glasses because my eyes were runny due to my allergies. she said "that's what happens to old people" why did she say that i wonder??

so our summer student started today. i have to say she put me to shame, i was embarrassed. my clothes were all frumpy and i was all sickly due to my allergies. she came in all dressed to the t and chipper. oh well what can you do? besides, that is probably her only nice-business outfit.

i'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all this new apartment stuff. i'm sure it'll smooth over, but i'm a little nervous. there's so much to be done. on the other hand, i made some good progress in setting up my living room tonight. i'm really happy about that because i was really not liking how it was set up. obviously didn't get started on the bathroom. that's alright, i make the plans i can break the plans.

holy crap my eyes are blood-shot. ugh, i feel like crap.

hey, you friends who have left for the summer... don't forget to write to me. or send me a postcard for goodness sake, i'll post it up in my kitchen.

oh and you in-towners, i think we're on for this sunday - open house shindig. i'll keep you posted.

i wake up and i ask myself what state i'm in
and i say well i'm lucky, cause i am like east berlin
i had this wall and what i knew of the free world
was i could see their fireworks
and i could hear their radio
and i thought that if we met, i would only start confessing
and they'd know that i was scared
they'd would know that I was guessing
but the wall came down and there they stood before me
with their stumbling and their mumbling
and their calling out just like me
