Conversations with Mike.
Me: I feel people think I’m boring.
Mike: What?! I’ve had people tell me I’m insane and I think you’re bat shit crazy. You are NOT boring.
Take Apart Your Head: Stopping By Woods on a Snowy... →
fuckyeahpoetry:
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening…

Thank you, best friend Chelsea, for proving me once again that I’m a neurotic idiot.
I need to stop that, huh?
New Year’s Resolution: Stop being so damn neurotic. No one thinks as much into detail about what other people think of you as much a you think they do.
My father can be so silly.
Phone Conversation:
Me: Hey daddy, how are you?
Dad: Ari? Oh hey, Taller! (His nickname for me since I surpassed him in height. I’m 5’3”) How you doin’?
Me: I’m good. Are you home from work?
Dad: Yeah, I’m eating my dinner with your buddy.
Me: My buddy?
Dad: Yeah, your Bananas. He says he miss you.
Me: Bananas my stuffed orangutan?
Papa Hakim. Eating...
Today at work a guy asks me where I went to school.
I reply by saying I graduated from Emerson College.
But then he asked me where I went to high school.
I replied, “In Springfield, I’m not a native Bostonian.”
He says I look like someone his son went to school with and leaves.
The woman behind him comes up and says she went to Emerson for grad school and asks me what I...
At work the other day:
Customer talking to her friend: Oh maybe this little girl knows…Miss?
In my head: LITTLE GIRL?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! I NO LITTLE GIRL!!!!! I 22!
Customers love me.
At the service desk, Tanisha picked up a “Life of Jesus” DVD box set.
Tanisha: The Jesus lettering is all intense.
Me: Well, Tanisha, Jesus was an intense dude. All the water walking and I don’t know healing kids with leprosy…I don’t know. I was raised Muslim.
Customer: *shakes head laughing*
Me: Right though?
I provide what entertainment I can.
I got a crush on you

When my crush approaches me this way:
I pretend to be calm:
And when he’s gone I look:
I’ll start texting my friends about what happened:
And my friends are happier than me:
I’ll end up like this inside my room while recalling what happened:
»I am guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
I realize this is girl oriented.. but guys totally do this too…
I...
I am actually really in love with flamenco dancing.
I love my mom so much.
She’s incredibly adorable.
I was talking to her on my way to work today about applying for jobs.
I was talking about how I really want to move to New York and she says, ”Well why don’t you apply to O?”
I say, “O? As in Oprah?”
“Yeah, well you never know. It couldn’t hurt. I’m sure Oprah would love to have a strong...
I might have an interview with a CPA firm as an administrative assistant.
Not the most glamourous position.
But it’s more money and not running around for $9.10/hour.
I need to not be scraping by.
Ugh.
I can’t wait until this is over.
It’s sad to see when a friend remains only faithful to the relationship between lips and bottle.

Boy: I broke up with her.
His Best Friend: What happened? Boy: She’s just too much for me. His Best Friend: What makes you say that? What did she do wrong? Boy: Well, for one.. She only cared about her appearance. Always had to look good, always took forever to get dressed! So insecure.. His Best Friend: So, you broke her...
Why is it so hard for so many people to say, “Hey, I like you.”
Why is it so hard for people to have and show genuine affection for someone?
Without agenda or ulterior motive?
No one’s asking to get married and spend the rest of their lives together.
But maybe just hold your hand for a little.
Maybe spread a little warmth from their heart to yours.
Solitary lives are cold...
Heating guy is here!
Yayayayayayay!
It’s so cold in here.
Actually, it’s not so bad here in the kitchen.
I’m fine here with a sweater and cup of tea.
But perhaps that’s because I warmed the apartment by making yummy chocolate chip cookies.
My bedroom, however, is an ice box and NEEDS some heat.
I sometimes think that the life I’m living is only the type witnessed in great tragedies.
I hope that’s not the case.
A woman with fingers wrapped in brass and gold cannot feel free.
A symbol of beauty turned to shackles weighs down more than bound hands.
When will he listen?
When will he learn?
This is not what I want.
I vote that there should be a summer in January party when everyone gets back.
I vote Mike, Jared, and Dre’s place.
It’s certainly hot enough.
And after being outside today, I need a little heat.
If Common came up to me and said, “Ari, you’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met, marry me,” I would say yes in a heart beat.
I’m aware it wouldn’t, but if it ever did…sigh
Amber and I braved the winter weather today to trek out to the Urban Outfitters in Harvard Square to see what deals we could find on cute house stuff since Molly is moving out.
We found a coffee table that was $198 and we got it for $25.
Awesome.
Lugging it back to our apartment was a little trickier.
Emerson Cod expresses how I feel to the T.

Come on, someone hire me.
Between rent, student loans, bills, groceries, and a little extra for entertainment, I need to make more than a $1 profit each month.
I don’t care what it is at this point, as long as it pays more.
Plan for today:
Make chocolate chip cookies
Apply for jobs
Watch movies
Eat aforementioned chocolate chip cookies
Things that make me sleepy:
Heat
Darkness
Fluorescent lighting
Watching movies
Car Rides
Laying Down
Eating too much
Snuggly people
Pretty much everything ever in existence. I’m aware I’m odd.

Haley: Frodo looks cold. Me: I wonder what the weather’s like in Middle Earth. What’s the average temperature of Mordor? Haley: I don’t know but I bet someone’s figured it out. (A shot of the eye sweeping across Modor) Mom: How did they get a giant flashlight? (pause) Me: That’s Sauron. He’s…
I love you and your family.
