Not really. 130905 ... e_o_i ...and I just remembered, I was having a conversation in the spring and a younger girl said to someone, laughing, "That'd be, hashtag, first world problems," followed by, "Did I just say 'hashtag' first world problems? I've been on Twitter too much." Would introducing a subject with "hashtag" be a people-younger-than-me problem as well as a first-world problem? I suspect so. And I'm only 25. 130905 ... unhinged maybe not a people younger than you problem, but a people obsessed with social networking problem yesterday i was ignored by a hostess at a restaurant because she was checking her facebook page at the computer/register and then the two middle aged ladies sitting next to me where both disturbing my dinner with their alarms going off on their phone to notify them that someone was posting on their facebook page and then yammering on and on about said posts on their facebook page. i don't think i will be going back to that restaurant any time soon... 130906 ... xelda #374 I can't find room for my homemade organic popsicles and ice cream in the freezer because the space is dominated by fancy ice sculptures meant for rare Japanese whiskies 130906 ... e_o_i On that note... the last time I got sick from something I ate was when I finished off half a bucket of ice cream to make more room in the freezer. #firstworldproblems!

Taking the bus/train home, fir the first time - ish. Will it take a long time? I'm already tired and anxious about figuring it out. It will be good though, I need to learn to do this fluidly any way if I want life to flow functionally. 3 1/2 ish hours left at work... drags on and on... bikes tangle, handle bars to the face, kick stands smash my feet and tear my shoes, chain grease, angry tourists, confused tourists speaking various languages we don't understand each other... counting money, paper work... I just wanto cuddle but I'm always stressed and over focused on other things lately. sorry love, I am so grateful that you are there with me, even when we re stressed and frustrated with each other, we always come back to love. the there's bank accounts, credit cards, receipts, and debt... geeez 140806 ... flowerock finally relax and eat too much melted truffle goop and sunflower seed butter. too. much. tummy won't like this, but I did. 140807 ... xelda I want us to have 1st world "problems" forever Sure beats the land of ennui and suicide Love, love.
