decommissioned – number 01 (22 july 2005 – 12:44am)

i like to try to be silly and clever.  i am serious when necessary.  i have a knack for remembering the discontinued flavors of snack foods.  i like to do more listening than talking.  i believe in play time.  i engage in nap time, often with the wish i had someone to nap next to.  i sometimes ask for the manager just to inspire a moment of panic in the employee standing before me.  i enjoy walking around the city except when it’s humid out.  i love riding the subway for the mere entertainment value.  i curse in german frequently, dream in spanish on occasion, drop dutch/afrikaans phrases every now and then, and speak with a bad british or french or southern u.s. accent at random. i think about half the time i only look like i know what i’m doing.  i have very bad eating habits.  i am not at all a fan of runway incursions.  i color with crayons on occasion.  i’ve had the same song on repeat on my ipod for the past three weeks.  and i’m very good at keeping secrets.   i’m obsessed with craigslist and friendster and interminable self-improvement. i like the concept of having a routine, but am rarely ever certain what i will be doing next during my day. and as much as i love walking fast and weaving in and out of slowly moving crowds, i do my best to steer clear of times square.
