My life is depressing me right now.

In Geneva there was never anything to do, but there were people to do it with. Here, there are thousands of things to do but no one to do them with. I miss making friends.

I feel really... just... unmotivated to do anything related to my job at all. When you ask your boss for a raise and she says "I could hire 3 of you for that", it makes you realize that she thinks you're replaceable. Uh huh, she's delusional if she thinks she can pay somebody what she pays me to do ALL the things I do. I can get more, WITH my own apartment in Manhattan (which I should mention is something that she is backing out of providing for me here in London, also my second month of vacation that I was originally promised). Grocery shopping? Cleaning out the "junk drawer" in the kitchen? Changing lightbulbs? Scanning bills to email so they can be paid by someone else? Yea... not related to children!

I don't want to do this anymore. If I felt more appreciated, maybe I wouldn't mind so much. I'm getting really fed up. I am just sticking it out until I find out about schools here in London. I'm looking for schools in the U.S. too. I need a break from raising someone else's children.

I still have basically no social life. I'm getting so down. I was crossing the street the other day and saw a car from far away coming and though, "what if that car was going really fast and it hit me?" Maybe I'd meet a cute doctor at the hospital. I'm not seriously considering hurting myself, I should note. I crossed the street and I do not walk in front of cars, knowingly at least. I don't like pain. I can only imagine that a car smashing into me and potentially breaking bones hurts a lot.

I miss NYC.

I don't call it graffiti, I call it street art, even if it's just words.



This I love. Really.



I have this thing where I only buy American Apparel on American soil.



More gigantic Shepard Fairey.



Ah, the sheep's meadow. I get a tan just by looking at this picture.



Upper West Side



My all blue chucks.
