please leave your penny

wake up.  roll out of bed.  sweet, i'm up early today.  should i shave? who am i kidding? i'll shave tomorrow.  wait, what's up with that clock? oh, i'm running late.  nice.  out the door.  crank up the modest mouse as i drive off.  months later, how can this cd still sound new to me? i'm hungry.  ick, i have a zit.  get to work, have a granola bar.  don't really feel like doing much.  so i don't.  try a pepsi edge.  i don't really drink pop (yes i call it pop) as a general rule, but i feel like seeing what it tastes like.  the consensus is that it's less sweet than regular pop but has more of a taste than diet.  if i was all about the pop i'd drink it, since i'm not, i'll stick with my water and iced tea.  saw matthew again.  was all about the gushing.  how can he look cuter each time i see him? it's gotta be the flip-flops.  yep, it's the flip-flops.  got an email from JH asking me to meet up for drinks tomorrow night.  that has trouble written all over it, decide to pass.  an email from jules wanting to set me up.  um, we'll leave it at maybe for right now.  dawnnie calls me at work today.  it's been so long that i have no idea when it was we last spoke.  i miss her.  i forgot how much i missed her.  she said i need to start texting her again.  will do. see michael again as well.  what's up with all these random people from my past dropping into my life today? get a staple through my collar thanks to my manager.  spend the next twenty minutes in shock saying, "i can't believe you just stapled me!" leave work, again with the modest mouse. hear some casey straton as well, excellent. get home, eat, chill, a little big brother. how cute is drew? how cute is will crushing on drew? talk to kia. fill G in on the latest. "yeah i knew my voodoo doll would work" she informs me. suddenly remember why i love her so. karma, to voodoo, to moving on. ignore. forget. dust myself off. and move on. yeah, dar williams makes it that much easier to move on. was there life before the nomad? surely not.
