clouds in my coffee

today i'm aptly listening to: new york i love you, but you're bringing me down by LCD Soundsystem

okay, okay, ... i'm just being bitter.

but, on the bright side,

is there anything better than kermit?

so here i am blogging from NYC.

one might think i've done the impossible and have finally moved!

well, you'd be wrong.

because duh,

it's impossible.

amen.

my craig's list experience has turned from

good-hearted entertainment...

and into a verifiable freak show.

step right up! step right up!

first we see....

THE MAN WITHOUT A (visible) BODY!

there's a few theories to this creature, the extreme trash-hoarder. either he doesn't clean and wants you to see the apartment as is, because let's face it, you'd be living with him anyway. OR... he actually spiffed up the place a bit for your visit... yikes

next we come across....

THE WOMAN WITH TWO FACES!

on the internet she's a real charmer, in person she's a bit of a raging psycho. don't cross this one... it's best to stay a click or two away away

one of my [least] favorites...

THE MAN WHO'D RATHER DATE YOU THAN LEASE THE SPARE ROOM!

by denying me a room and therefore a life, i'm afraid we're just not going to work out. i may be desperate... but not that desperate

i'm sure i've got enough freak going on myself

so bring on the funhouse!

today I'm listening to: lera lynn - wolf like me (cover, TV On The Radio)

"my mind's aflame"

the sun is shining, on the nothing new.

my nothing new, specifically..

but that's alright, because the there's sun to share

... and i need a tan.

true love is not something you find often.

so let's talk about lust baby, let's talk about you and me....

because i'd say, i fall in lust about a couple times a week..

he fits a full-size bed,

he may have a closet and windows, if i'm really lucky.

but everyone knows it's all location location location.

but the real kicker?

even the roommates don't sound like machete wielding crazies!

yes, this is my recent relationship with craigslist.

(on facebook... "it's complicated")

because trying to find the perfect apartment is tough enough

finding it on craigslist is pure masochism.

and even if you're lucky enough to find the apartment of your dreams,

you have to fight to the death to make it yours.

and in this case... i may have died a couple times..

---------

so all you new yorkers out there,

specifically Chelsea-ans or Upper West Siders,

please, let me live with you.

i am the Best Roommate Ever (<-- yeah, you want to click that)

are you there perfect apartment?

it's me, jessica.

sometimes i have to remind myself

that it is only part of a much larger picture.

the world (rather, massive chunks of my world)

is (are) moving onto much bigger and better things.

are we there yet?!

too haute to handle.

i have a lot of likes (and dislikes) lately.

not the fbook kind... the real-life, opinionated kind.

i think this means i'm knowing myself better.

forget lust. [i'm in like]

muse and impulse.

"sometimes said its sun-time

let it sunshine on my mind.

healing i need healing

a good feeling i can shine

feel it like you can see it

like you can dream it in your mind

sunny halleluja comming to ya

rain or shine"

-edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros (come in please)

until next time i'm skipping cracks in sidewalks, blindly guessing jelly-belly flavors, and becoming a craigslist success story..
