it's never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called.

Because of nasty weather up North, I've broken up my super long drive into two days.  Which is a real blessing - I couldn't get any sleep last night and I think I would've fallen asleep somewhere around Scranton, and driven off the side of I-81.  Into a field of cows or something.  Or off the side of a mountain.  Whatever.

I have five different apartment viewings set up, or almost set up.  I'm really nervous, because not only am I confronting the impending problem of finding a place to live, but I'm also meeting potential roommates.  And shit, it's just hard to make a good first impression when you're nervous.  Especially since I'm planning on getting entirely lost (but not in Yonkers, hah, a little Neil Simon joke there, for those of you paying attention), and getting lost just makes me frazzled.  Maybe I should carry my GPS on me.

A (cute, admittedly) employee at a state rest stop was hitting on me.  Getting hit on is always a source of entertainment for me.  It's particularly entertaining when I look like a schlump, with smeary eyeliner (because my eyes were itchy and I was rubbing them) and poufy hair (I think I used too much product this morning) and boring travel clothes (black turtleneck, dark skinny jeans, black buckle boots).  Granted, he was in coveralls.  I guess it's all relative.

My birthday is on Monday, and I'm unexcited about it.  I've passed all the fun birthdays.  Sometimes I feel my age, but most of the time I don't.  So moving up a year isn't as marvelous as it was when I was a kid.  I did, however, buy a cute pair of black ankle boots to celebrate (ADORABLE) and a seriously fierce black leopard print bra (HOT) and then, a sandwich.

And now...Project Runway for awhile, then bed.
