I woke up on my birthday at 7 AM, because my body wasn't going to stay asleep. I dozed until around 8:30 when I had to wake up for work. I planned out everything I was going to wear, and I did my hair and I looked pretty snazzy by work standards.
I walked into work, where, by the way, I was actually excited to be on my birthday, and I saw balloons, and flowers, and an old co-worker who I adore but had moved away. My boss gave me a bag with presents, and I only had to work a shortened shift. One of my regulars gave me a ten dollar tip because I said I was going to an expensive martini bar in Andersonville, and I need to remember to write him a thank you card.
When I got home I realized that I had about an hour and a half before having to go to lunch with Spen and my mom and so I took a bath with the luxurious aromatherapy things my boss got me for my birthday, and watched things on John's netflix.
Lunch with Spen and my mom was pretty good. I got cheese fries. After lunch Spen and I went shopping with my birthday money and I got all kinds of shit.
I was really into writing this earlier, then I took a break, and now I have other things on my mind. So, that's all, for now.

Dear Please-Fuck-Off-But-You-Never-Do, (an open-ish letter)
If you bullshit me to my face one more fucking time, don't expect me to be as nice about it as I have been every other time.
My malice is easily quelled by my frequent honesty. I don't lie to you, so I would appreciate it, if you would kindly do the same.
However, if you find this too much of an imposition, please fuck off and die.
My bullshit tolerance is about ankle high and your superficiality and need-to-please runs you about as high as my neck and I could not be more done with it.
I must politely insist you return to the hole from whence you came.
Always Respectfully,
Corey
In other news, I turn 21 on Thursday, and whatwith my total lack of inertia to drink, ever, that will be mostly anti-climactic, except for this great dress I got.
My new boyfriend is a gem, a total gem, and I can't get enough of him.
So, that's what's new.

how you feel
irl, y'all
i am in-a-rela-tion-ship
in-real-life.
look at all those hyphens.
i'm giddy.
right now I am just sitting, just, sitting, and i feel like i am on the wave swinger at navy pier, all over again, and it's this, and it's you and it's pretty nice, truth be told.
anyhow, more later, without a doubt.
No doubts.
It won't always be this easy, or this lovely, or this effortless, but the work will be worth it.
