Things That Have Happened Lately

A crazy man harassed me on the very last train Sunday night screaming about how I sprayed chemicals in his face and the Feds were going to get me while following me from one car to the next.

I got off the train and went to the wrong parking lot. My panicked self wandered around in the dark with 5% battery left hoping to find my car before the crazy man found me.

I received two rejection e-mails within 24 hours.

I paid $8 for a mediocre teriyaki chicken bowl.

I cracked my iPhone screen and bruised/scraped my whole body in the process.

Old Betty, my car, got stuck in reverse while I was trying to parallel park and she wouldn’t turn back on, so I had to get her towed.

I had to pay about $600 to fix Old Betty.

I had approximately 7 consecutive dreams that my nanny babe started choking while I was watching him.

I had one dream where a man was chasing another man trying to bash his head in with a hammer.

I got hit on by a 17 year old who said, “Damn, you’re old.. like, you’re a full on adult,” when I said, “No, I don’t go to your high school, I’m 25.”

I heard about Robin Williams committing suicide, which was extremely tragic in itself, but then I heard there were people on this earth who think it’s okay to write about how he “didn’t die from a disease” but from “his choice” and how he’s now going to hell, which made me livid.

Here are some awesome things that have happened lately:

I started a new part-time job at Stitch Fix!

I got to go volunteer at Outside Lands on Saturday and Sunday and therefore got to enjoy several concerts including Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Death Cab For Cutie, Courtney Barnett, Lykke Li and The Killers for free.

Macklemore absolutely killed it and even played once his time was up. He didn’t get mad when he tried to crowd surf and they dropped him, instead he just did it again–successfully that time. He also brought Mary Lambert on for “Same Love” right after he had an adorable lesbian couple get engaged on stage. He’s amazing.

I talked with my girl Emma about life for the first time in way too long. It’s amazing what having an encouraging, loving best friend can do.

I ate porcini doughnuts and fried chicken and waffles that were worth the money.

I fell even more in love with Brandon Flowers than I already was. Seriously, I couldn’t stop thinking about how lucky his wife is and how it must affect her watching him perform. I’m such a creep.

I made strangers play Twister.

I watched a random man run up and take a bite of Emma’s pizza.

I’m getting so much closer to finding an apartment, and in the meantime a wonderful family has taken me in.

I might just be going on a spontaneous adventure to meet some of my best friends of the Internetz this weekend (Hiiiii Jessi & Brooke!).

There have been a whole lot of articles since the passing of Robin Williams spreading awareness about the disease that is depression. I hope this will help people who are suffering to seek help and those who are blissfully unaware to understand and have compassion.

Annnnd lastly, I found my new favorite song. Enjoy.
