(no subject)
I look back on the posts I've made within the past few months, and it is absolutely extraordinary how far I've come and how much I've changed in this short time. That's the only way I can describe it - extraordinary.
My skin is clearing up; I am eager to do the assigned readings for my classes; I'm excited for the future; I have been continuing to work out; I've become more comfortable pushing myself, little by little, do things outside my comfort zone; my own parents have made comments about my fledging independence; and at times, during certain lectures, I can feel myself getting emotional and overwhelmed because I'm so happy. I feel like I have found my niche, and I am not depending anybody else but myself. It's an extraordinary feeling.
This whole drop in LiveJournal activity is total bullshit too. I come here every chance I get (when LJ isn't being a pain and undergoing "maintenance"), but somehow seem to never post? idgi. Whatever.
So among belated things, here's a meme the lovely Bridget (l0serdust) tagged me to do, like, decades ago. :(
Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up:
A burning candle (chai spice, heyyy), my planner, Mighty Mouse, a vase of dried lavender flowers, and a nail buffer.
How do you style your hair?
I have really thick, curly hair, so the most convenient look is a messy bun for me - I put a little curling mousse in it so that my hair won't frizz and turn into a freaking fro, then part my bangs at the side, and put it up. Usually curls will fall out in the process. Otherwise, I straighten it.
What are you wearing now?
A white tank and green pajama shorts
Who was the last person you said 'I Love You' to?
My mom, who was pissed I didn't call her after 2 days. mwuahaha
Do you nap a lot?
I generally don't take naps because they throw me off for the rest of the day. That, and the 30-minute- nap just doesn't work for me... I go big (~2 hours) or go home (zero).
Who was the last person you hugged?
My friend, Brittany, after a latte date. :)
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Ohh, let's see: food (as per usual), purple things, and heels and lingerie I can't afford (ha.)
What was the last thing you ate today?
An Italian cappuccino and chocolate. Yeah, really college-like of me, I know.
What was the last text message you received?
"I forgot, can you take a picture of the painting for me?" - My mombot
What websites do you always visit when you go online?
LiveJournal, Facebook, and various Flickr accounts I stalk.
What was the last thing you bought?
A single latte
What are you listening to right now?
"Hall of Mirrors," by the Distillers because I miss them so hard. :(
What's the last song that got stuck in your head?
That god-awful Akon song. I hate Akon. Like really, truly hate the man; everything about him makes my skin crawl.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
You know, I never know what to say to this question because I can't make up my mind. :( I'd love to fly but, in reality, that's only good for so much. I think I'd like to stop time.
What is your favorite weather, and why?
Cool autumn weather, with a light breeze and temperature around the low 60s to low 70s. It's the perfect weather to layer just enough (hello excuse to wear scarves, cardigans, or maybe a light coat), but still have cold hands and noses. :)
If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
I'd probably continue playing the piano.
How are you?

What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
I'm outside your front door! :*
Your dream career?
Working as a full-time medical anthropologist with a concentration in either big cities in the United States or in Iran. I'd also like to be teaching college classes at the same time.
Has anybody ever had mochi?
It's ridiculous how bad I want to try mochi ice cream. :( I don't know if the Asian supermarkets here have them (thanks for the fail, Oklahoma), but I'm definitely going on the hunt for them this weekend.
