i found a toolbox on the street. leina texted me that she listed me plus one for the party and jack is working door so bring friends. after work i was going to go to my studio and put on the outfit that i sewed because i looked wrong. i convinced shane to come with me because he and inga decided to party separate tonight and sam says she can bring me a shirt and she calls me and tells me she's at home trying on dresses with inga so we go there. i try on dresses but everything is wrong. i wear a shirt and we go in the car to the restaurant and it's almost over. i see and hug in order: diego pea huy nathan z mia jasper leina james fletcher david. sam yells at me for stepping on her foot but i stepped on someone else's foot. she hit glass and she shows me her shoe its so red. i grab her foot and squeeze the toe and the party is over they turn the lights on. i tell her every fortune is the same she says no look at the other side. she said that gay guy was crazy. i say i actually know him and his girlfriend from a birthday dinner in january. outside we walk to the party on bowery and paris is leaving. she says this is illegal for priya. at funny bar we see david omar and mickal and jack comes. i did not drop them but i pick them up the knocked over flowers. at home in the living room i tell shane and inga the house was like the hand of god. there are many things that were like the hand of god like house and lucien and los angeles california and blog. i will talk to you later about everything else.
Yesterday we came back on the train from massachusetts vacation. lining up to exit the woman who drank the whole small bottle of red wine from the cafe car menu is talking into her apple watch wrist i think she's from sweden. saying well you know....life is a song. most of the stalls were cow empty at the fair. we knew which pig was going to win before the race started from looking at their bodies. i was limping at the demolition derby and when the car crushed the other car into the concrete barrier and the driver was unconscious and the medics were all over like ants on dropped food wes asked me why i wanted to stay because he said we should leave now. i said because the getting hurt is part of it and then the hurt man woke up and told the man with the microphone lets keep going and then he crushed all the other cars and was the winner. and when he was the winner he climbed on top of his car while all the cars he crushed got taken away. before massachusetts nico and sargent came over and then sam came over and i made spaghetti and meatballs and shane and inga made negroni and wes told me how to make meatballs by making them for me. just delight to see nico and sargent who i haven't seen in 8 months even though sargent lives here. tomorrow is my birthday which i feel very touch and go about. i think because one year ago my birthday was the worst day i have lived so far and it feels like i have to tread carefully. but i remember my old life as a lesson and use it as a ruler to measure how good and far i have moved out of what is wrong and into what is right. today i woke up and then cried on the bike because it's my birthday and my foot is fucked so i can't run. i called out of work. i put all my new books away and went to see sam at abracadabra and sat on the bench in her bedroom and she put outfit and makeup on for work and she bought me and her a green chai smoothie size small (substitute peanut for almond butter add soy milk). i went shopping for party supplies and cat food and hotdogs. dyeing my hair red and painting my nails shiny for tomorrow. i'm meeting him in the city and going to london's reading and then visiting samantha at work. here is what i decided about tomorrow. once this is all over i will go back to the studio.
