Sleepovers are the best
Now off to LA for New Years shenanigans. See you on the other side, tumblies!
Um, way to jump in girl.
dsouza05:
That woman used to be my boss.
Might have despised every minute.
CAN YOU BE MORE AWKWARD PLEASE?
I love this.
The Final Countdown
We’re up early here this morning, and taking off on what will be one of the last adventures in this break full of shenanigans.
Today we drive to our beach house in Oxnard, then Glendale for family Christmas on Tuesday, then visiting my other grandfather in Hemet on Wednesday, and then finally making it back to San Diego.
I’ll be there for a couple days and then gearing up for New...

Day 04: Your views on religion
In which I prove, yet again, that I’m nowhere near as prolific or ponderous as my roommate.
I have no problem with religion, until it starts forcing itself upon me by way of overzealous followers. I’ll be happy to have a conversation about religion with you, but when you repeatedly try to convert me I will get frustrated and not want to talk about it anymore.
Personally, I do not...

Day 3: Your views on drugs and alcohol
I almost forgot about this completely until Katharine posted and reminded me :P
My opinion on drugs and alcohol is that people should be allowed to make their own choices (within reason) but they should do so only after educating themselves.
I do believe that heavily addictive drugs that have been proven to cause severe and lasting damage should remain criminalized. No heroin or cocaine for me,...
Making plans with men always trys my patience
We talked about watching a movie on Tuesday.
He rescheduled for today at 2.
Then texted at 2 to say he was stuck in Sacramento until 3.
Then texted at 3:15 to say he was on his way back.
Then texted at 3:30 to say he’d be home around 4 and we could hang out then.
Really now?
Why are EVERYONE'S grades posted except mine?
C’mon, tritonlink. I’m looking for some redemption here.

Day 02: Where you'd like to be in ten years
In ten years, I will be thirty years old, and I have no idea where I want to be.
(Dear Katharine, thanks for once again making me feel totally inadequate :P )
I’d like to be working in planning, and doing something that will actually be improving the world we live in.
I’d like to be married, I think, but only if it’s right.
That’s about as far as I can get right now. I...
Boobytrapping new Christmas decorations on our...
No big deal. Dad and I rigged them so if you move it, it pulls on a thin piece of thread that knocks down a set of windchime pipes perched precariously on the porch beam. They ring like hell on the concrete and the sound echoes off the house. Then when I hear it (my bedroom’s right there) I’m gonna throw open my window and holler “Pa, git yer shotgun. They’re...
It's official.
My cat is actually a dog.
He’s so big we had to buy him a dog bed. He comes when you call him. He follows me around. And when you scratch his belly, his back leg starts kicking in delight.

Day 01 - Your current relationship
So my current relationship is that I don’t have one. But I’m beginning to be ok with that, and here’s why.
I like relationships. I feel like one of the few things I’m truly good at is loving another person, so for all of junior high and high school I bounced from relationship to relationship with hardly any breathing room in between. My tastes and hobbies would vary...
Best. Day. Ever.
Oh man. Still trying to process everything. And figure out which way is up.
But today, guys? Today was awesome. Exactly what I needed to get me out of my funk and the rut I’ve been in lately with my life.
:)
Let the shenanigans begin!

Novel #22: The Time Traveler's Wife
by Audrey Niffenegger
This book came to the top of the list because it was recommended by a friend. I’m about halfway through now, and I love it. It takes a little while to get into and figure out how things work, but it wasn’t frustrating at all. I’m right at that tipping point in the book now, where I know that everything is too good to be true and I’m waiting for it...

Novel #21: Invisible Man
by Ralph Ellison
I really don’t know how to feel about this book. I liked it, I guess, but I felt like it was a little long in places, and I don’t feel like the beginning and the end were connected that strongly. Might have something to do with how long it took me to read it—I kept forgetting things that had happened at the beginning.
Headed home. So many shenanigans.
-Meeting (again) this guy that I haven’t seen in like three years that I used to date and kind of sort of totally might have a crush on him again after talking the last few weeks.
-Hangin out with the fambam, doing Christmas decorating and shopping.
-Heading up to Arcata this weekend to visit my friend at Humboldt. We are going to drink in front of a roaring fire while being tended to by...
“All things, it is said, are duly recorded—all things of importance, that...”
– Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison
“Imagine … if our suits were entirely designed to show off our penises. Imagine...”
– —Tom Ford
This quote was sent to me by superfluousseventeen, and it is a really fantastic elucidation of just how men and women’s clothing differ. However, I was surprised at the source. Tom Ford has produced some of the most over the top, objectifying ads using women I have ever seen in my life....
Instead of finishing my paper
I’m looking at the BBC Book Challenge list. They believe the average person will have only read 6 out of the 100 books. I’ve put an X by the one’s I’ve already finished:
1. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen X 2. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien 3. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4. Harry Potter series - JK Rowling X 5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee X 6. The...

if you’re ever like, I wonder if I took a quiz that tests your knowledge of cheese and font names, how would I do?, and if you have nothing better to do with your life, then you’re in luck!
this is for you, xtine.
This is the best thing that ever could have happened to me during finals week when I have the shittiest final ever tomorrow and feel like my brain’s...

Rabbit Hole, by David Lindsay-Abaire
On loss. Becca’s 4 year old son Danny died less than a year ago, and her mother Nat lost a son some years ago as well.
Becca: Mom? Does it go away?
Nat: What.
Becca: This feeling. Does it ever go away?
Nat: No, I don’t think it does. Not for me it hasn’t. And that’s goin’ on eleven years. It changes though.
Becca: How?
Nat: I don’t know. The weight...
“I think girls are most attractive without any makeup on, because they can only...”
– Andrei, the smooth talker.
Way to make it sound like we’re all huge uggos, but it’s cool as long as you can see how makeup would sort of make it better.
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
causticonthecouch:
Homemade broth too!!!
Nom Nom Nom.
I have the best roommate ever.
I could write an entire angry blog about San Diego...
This is a Public Service Announcement. And I make no apologies for the forthcoming excess of caps lock use, because this shit is ridiculous.
#1: When you’re making a turn and there’s a designated turn lane, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE THROUGH LANE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. You’re being a dick. And holding up everyone behind you. For no reason.
#2: You know when else you make me...
The quiet kid in the back of the room this morning...
“When gay guys get mad, they all turn into angry black women.”
This is why I love theatre kids. Because this is an acceptable discussion to have in class at 9 a.m. :)
