new blog

i'll still update this one once in a while but runnawaypammy.blogspot.com will cover my european escapades and transition to nyc life.

did you know i love hotels and airport bars?

like, a lot. there's someone about the velocity of it all. the ephemeralness of it all. is that a word? ephemeralness.

regardless, i love them.

i turned 25 yesterday. it was a great birthday. i love my friends. and, apparently, i love losing my phone. cause that shit is gone. oh well.

<3<3<3

ps. the birthday game included stories of me vomitting, being naked, and/or wasted. these are the characteristics that define me as a person. i'm okay with that.

you can't never go home.

It's official. Back at my parents. In between pool side margaritas, I'm often mildly concerned that my mom is going through my shit a la my 15th birthday when she read my journal wherein I discussed how the inside of Phil Davis' mouth tasted. If only my savings account had the compounding interest that my escapades have endured in the ten years since that incident.

All in all, it's been nice. I forgot how awesome cable can be. And being close to Corinne has been a blessing as well. I feel calm; resolved even.

I did it. I fucking did it. And all you haters suck my balls.

53 days. Fifty-Three days. fiftythreedays. <3

Hipster's Have the Best Yard Sales

I sold all my shit and my friends sat around drinking beer and looking cool.

I now have an empty house and it makes me kind of sad. I move out tomorrow. I didn't expect to be this emotional about it. It's strange to think that it's been just shy of a year when I hit that wall and realized I had to leave this place.

SPOTTED:

Pam actually put down her drill and paint brush last night and let a gentleman take her out on the town. Thank god I didn't actually run into anyone I knew. In case you were wondering, three martinis on an empty stomach will, in fact, get you trashed no matter what your tolerance is.

You know, some day I plan on writing my memoirs. Well after my mother's dementia has fully set in and I'm certain she'll never read them. In the mean time, I've been keeping what are sometimes very detailed, but more often reminiscent of Hunter S. Thompson's convoluted notes. Both in content and execution. I hope I haven't left anything out. And I remember everything because damn. This shit is golden. Between my girls and myself, we've got some amazing stories. Really, even I'm fascinated and I was there. That's not just our collective vanity speaking. Speaking of vanity, did you hear? I'm a pretentious, ego-maniacal whore. Or at least I read that on the St. Pete telephone wire. Le Sigh. I hate this town all most as much as I love it.

In other news, my birthday falls on Easter this year. Appropriate. Celebrate the end of lent with me over birthday bloody marys and Easter egg hunts.

you know you love me.

So.

I put in my notice. In the next two months I will somehow curate two shows, rent out my house, sell all of my belongs and get on a plane to Paris. Then NYC. Then NYU. I'm not really sure what is going to happen but come hell or high water, a battered and bruised Pammy will wash up on the shores of JFK's landing strip.

Additionally, things I learned this week: I have no will power and engage in destructive behaviors. Also, H&M is very dangerous to my mastercard. Also, Atlanta is fun and Orlando can suck it. It's cool though. That one guy outside of Panera told me to stay sweet, and that kind of made my day. Any residual aspirations for a rock star life are quashed and I will now commence my grown up life. Well, in theory.

Thanks for the memories.

xoxo
