so i finally got those damn jeans i have been pining over for months
i came to germany a 38 and now i am a 34 and i am feeling great about it.
it's surprising then, that i am sinking into one of my famous "don't want to see or talk to anyone" phases. tonight is a cool film festival/party that i am supposed to goto (actually i am supposed to be there now...) but i have no desire to be seen by other people. i am just not in the mood. i already asked someone go with me now and he's totally excited, so i have to go. i also ditched a cook out today under the pretense that i would actually show up to the film festival at 5, but ended up buying jeans and laying in bed updating lj.
i am also getting really excited about going back to nyc. i think it will be great to eat at vegetarian's paradise and hang out at dunkin doughnuts again with kati. i just hope that not every thing's changed since i've been gone. |

i am reading this book that takes place on the east coast and in dc/baltimore area. it's cool because i have been there now a couple of times and in the book, they drive through MD and mention this town called haggerstown and i have been to the walmart AND the crocker barrel there! i even saw a cool pink shot gun at the walmart there.

my friend and i spent an amazing day stuffing our selves at a great brunch buffet, then walking around and ending up in a park on the river where we relaxed and dozed off in the sun and smoked. i love it here. |

ok, i decided not to talk about news stuff here, but this iran situation is annoying me hard core. i just don't understand what their strategy is. the sailors were obviously in international waters. does anyone else thing this guy is fine though? he's been on the front page of cnn.com for the past week.

so, i am now set to goto shanghai in june. i am mad excited. it's only for three weeks, but whatevs. i am thinking i will arrive in nyc from berlin on the 1st of june and then fly to shanghai on the 3rd then fly back to nyc on the 20th ish of june and then figure out whether i go back to berlin or stay in nyc. i guess it will all depend on how things are going.
i am excited to go back to china finally. maybe i will hit up chicago? i don't know. the whole new york business is freaking me out 'cause i don't know who i will live with. i was looking at pics of my friend's place in queens and it's really nice, but it's the kind of place you move to when you have a bf and don't mind staying at home. being a homebody as i am, i feel like moving to queens on my own would be a death sentence for my social life. i was also thinking about park slope but i have the same fear as with queens. i guess i just need to get over my self. |

| new hair, new shirts |
[Mar. 29th, 2007|11:53 pm] |
today i hit up the barber and got a new haircut. the girl cutting my hair was like "you must be a hit with the ladies" i was like "yeah, unfortunately not exactly with the men... haha" not entirely true, but i have been having that feeling lately.
then i hit up the american apparel and got some hot new shirts. black, green and blue. they are a size smaller than my old ones and i feel so much better wearing something that i am not swimming in. here's a beauty pic.

| consciously changing |
[Mar. 26th, 2007|11:32 pm] |
after much reflection, i have decided to once again pursue a non-heteronormative lifestyle.
my tendencies towards long term, monogamous, husband/wife style relationships will once again be challenged. working on a radical, terrorist, zombie porno film by an infamous provocateur hopefully will help in this endeavor.
i think a lot of my former relationship issues (with heinously repressed straight men and the likes) have derived from my inability to accept that as a homosexual, i am not going to get a picket fence, husband and 2 kids unless i sacrifice something intrinsically me.
i have obviously been reading too much of bruce's new book. tomorrow i am doing location crap, starting with an 11am call. it's the earliest appointment i have had in months. maybe it will be refreshing to have a full day's work? (yes, for me a full day's work is 11-5).
speaking of changes, i weighed my self for the first time in a few months. i have lost 30 pounds. i should be excited, but the anorexic in me is a little disappointed. convincing my self that my conversion between kilos and pounds will have to suffice to keep me sane. ha. |

i got my book from bruce la bruce today with a little note written inside and i thought it was really sweet for him to include a few posters and flyers with it. i will write him a thank you note.
also in the post today, was my acceptance letter from NYU for graduate school! i am now terribly confused. ha. |

tonight, i decided against going out for the "european club night" because my friends planned a full night of clubbing at 11 different places all around the city. after last night, i was in no condition do to this. instead, our house guest (who has to wake up at 9) and i decided to go for dinner and a coffee. well dinner went well, then at coffee, i ran into a british guy i know and he was like "i am meeting an american and he's taking me around, you guys should come". well we ended up hitting up 3 places, 2 of which i had never been to. they were awesome. both were on the second floor of random apt. buildings. the first place looked like a 70's russian diplomat lounge and they were playing east german big band music (that's the only way i know how to describe it). there were fabulous people everywhere. then we headed to this place in prenzlauerberg that was having it's last night ever. again, we walked up to a random apt. building, went up stairs and found a huge line of people waiting to get into what looked like a totally normal apartment. once in, it was literally like a hipster film out of the warhol days. hot photos in handmade light boxes, fucking hot as hell people with amazingly original fashion and hair styles and great music... it was a little overwhelming. you could tell that only "people in the know" went to this place. after getting mad sweaty there, we went to my favorite café, which also happens to be across the street from the brit's apt. there we hung out and drank orange juice and talked. it was amazing.
what a great night. once again, it's almost 5 and i am just getting home. this time it was just supposed to be a nice dinner with a friend and ended up being a hipster paradise evening full of fabulous fashions and conversation. the best part of the night, was the way i obviously impressed my english speaking compatriot with my german. he's also fluent, but has a little accent. when we were all sitting and talking, it came out that i was american. everyone was confused and was asking me all sorts of questions "yes, but you were not born there, right?" "oh, but your parents are german, right?" "oh, but you moved here when you were very young?"... even though i know germans love to flatter foreigners german, it was still a special feeling and seeing the subtle impressed look on my friend was awesome. not all americans are stupid! (though my english could obviously use some work).
anyway, he's fluent in french so we are meeting this week to have a french day. i am already excited. |
