So today I braved my emotions and visited the BC bookstore. It felt weird at first, but then word traveled that I was there, and then everyone came up to hug me and say hi. I felt pretty good about myself by the end of it. I got some gossip, heard about how upset everyone was about all the layoffs (and the way in which they happened, although at least all the others had some warning after I went), and I finally got to talk about finishing a couple tv shows with the girl I spent months trying to befriend. Plus I got the car decal I'd been meaning to buy for almost a year.

And then I had dinner with my darling Jaclyn and we saw Wolf of Wall Street. It was so vulgar, and yet so fantastic. I don't know which is better (or destructive) for the internet: Leo losing the Oscar, or Leo actually winning the Oscar. But he should win.

I'm not even too bothered by the parking ticket I got for running past the meter time.

WHAT IS THIS MAGIC too good. That fuckin Waffice party…too good.

I KNOW.  Good times.  And you should totally make one.

All hail Jaclyn for being a rock when I'm ready to tailspin from the unemployment panic.

So last night, I went out for wings and beer with my friend Jaclyn (we're classy ladies).  It had really been far too long since we'd hung out, and even with the wobbly chairs, and not knowing how to order food, and then being told we were in someone else's seat (more than once), it was really great.  We caught up, and reminisced, and talked about how weird post grad life is, and also about Tumblr and Harry Potter and YA books and we had like, the best Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire discussion I've ever participated in. 

And we also talked about our friendship and the various living situations we were in at school and how we dealt with it all and why we value each other.  I don't normally have that sort of conversation with people because I tend to back off that sort of emotion, but it's really good sometimes to talk to the people who are important to you and tell them they are important to you.  I'm just so happy that she is in my life, and we are not going to go that long without seeing each other again.
