a commonplace existence.

dear sevonne,

i'm so glad i stole this book to read at the doctor's office. i didn't even know it was written by that guy in that band that i liked because it was cool to like them even though i didn't really get their stuff at the time.

it is nice to read something and relate to the person entirely even though you have almost nothing in common. and also to be depressed in a very pleasant way. i do that way too little these days...

unacceptable.

dear unnie,

as you know, i'm having a major j.crew withdrawl these days.
i almost feel like swimming over to tokyo so i can go to the store and breathe in the sweet j.crew air.
i hit refresh, refresh, refresh...but all i get is "access denied".
why, why, why, oh, why?!

so i emailed them and here's what brandon from c/s dept wrote to me:
