homeless for a night

i feel so alone. where should i go? about .... i'm ..... .... brak especially, ... lately this week. this has been an alright .... .... i feel worthy (worthy is the only word i can think of, even though i really mean something else) to be at a higher status than that of intern. maybe replace worth with experienced? maybe.

i'm so on my way to the american history museum. i'm hopefully going to cover at least the first floor today. yeah, its big.

i feel like going dancing tonight. i really must find some good spots. do you know that i've missed bright eyes, oasis, weezer, the white stripes, u2, and maybe even nada surf since i've lived here? and those are mostly random ones that i just would find throughout the week. top priority goal is to get to a freaking concert!

i wonder if they built the M keeping in mind the possibility of having to extend the track in the future. you know, so they wouldn't have to do massive construction to get the existing side ready to be built on.

well that was productive. scratch off navy memorial, first floor of the american history museum, and japanese thingy. okay, so maybe it's not that many things. but it's been a long day and it's not even five yet. which is good. off to do a number of ideas i have.

last night, man. reattempted the georgetown thing. hard to say if it was a success or complete failure. depends on how you look at it. my new friend john and i hung out and talked on this busy corner for like an hour. that guy makes so much freaking money there. not saying every homeless guy makes a ton. he's just got this awesome personality and energy. and he is so quick and witty. prolly been doing it for a while. and about every two minutes someone or group would walk by and recognize him. people in freaking cars were calling out to him. the third element or something like that is where i was part of the night. it was stupid. clubs need like wednesday mosh night where all they play is metal thrashing bands and people just go nuts on the dance floor.

man, i still have crappy laundry to do tonight. going to see a movie soon though. it's so cold in the tunnels that my nipple are like diamonds. literally shivering.

i hate nothing more in life than when your plastic fork breaks mid-cutting. the senate cafeteria is the best ever. today's breakfast includes french toast (best i've ever had) with strawberry topping, scrambled eggs, and oj.

standing like a fool in the gym waiting for people to get off the treadmills. tomorrow is an intern white house tour with mrs. bennett. not really that excited but it'll be good i guess. mom's coming out in november and we'll be taking another white house tour then too. jared's snoring continues to piss me off each night. my work evaluation was today and i got all "outstandings" except for one "good" on learning the legislative process and blah blah. they said it was because i needed something to work toward for the next half. it is true that there is still so much for me to learn. it seems endless the amount of knowledge i can gain about congress. this is taking forever so i'm going to try the other gym. oh yeah, we have two. awesome. empty!
run: 18:00 min, 7.5 sp, ? miles
ride: who knows, 83 rpm, 2.5 miles
not sure what's going on with the riding. i'm just giving up so easily. i get it in my head that i could/should just stop and say screw it. keep thinking it. keep thinking it. then i stop. going to have to stop thinking about how tired i am. last night i did an outside run to maren's and back. not sure how far it is. seems like 2.5 miles, so either way it's less a workout than my usual run and ride. although i am getting the eating situation under a little more control.

western lands and health briefing
another briefing, another lunch. at least this time i'm with the 429 peeps (my office number) mike, will, and miss amber. white house was this morning and it was pretty sweet. and vance is stalking me. he was up at 6 with me getting ready, had a white house tour the same time i did with his congressman, met in the capitol as we both gave tours from our offices, and now we are in this lunch/briefing together. you have to understand, there are probably hundreds of congressional interns, and he is a house intern waaay on the other side. basically, crazy coincidences. good lunch though.

white house was impressive to say the least. beautiful artwork. saw the george washington portrait that dolly madison saved as the place was burning down. something tells me she wasn't the one carrying it though. it's freaking huge like most of them. george b was even there when we were this morning. he made the harriet myers withdrawal announcement while we roamed the halls. and i get to go again with my mom when she comes. saw the lovely portraits of the clintons too.
