Last night I got out of class "early" at 9PM. I was cranky, because it was literally about seven degrees Fahrenheit out and I needed to go to the school library and then walk half a mile down to the 24-hr grocery store for milk and hummus. (I am a baby who frequently will only get her vegetables if it's by eating carrot sticks + hummus on the side ( Read more... )

I am not really an impulse-buy person. (Except with food. I will tie my budget in knots to squeeze in another meal at Noodles&Company or Wow Bao ( Read more... )

Welp. /o\ I've been saying for five months that I was going to start posting comics today, but I utterly failed to account for the fact that summer arrived in Chicago really suddenly on Monday and the sudden crush of heat is making it impossible for me to stay awake. I've been sleeping 12-14 hours a day, not even all at one go, so basically I wake ( Read more... )

Hello, Internet! I am alive. I am a week out from the end of the semester and pretty chill about it; I have three volunteer positions for the summer but no job or internship; I went on an excellent thrifting expedition today; sometimes I draw things. The casefic is 98000 words long, but that counts a couple of scenes I think I'm going to chop back ( Read more... )

Amtrak, stop telling me I have enough reward points for a ticket to San Francisco when I don't even have half enough. (Not to mention, you know, a way to get back.) You fucking teases.

ANYWAY the art supply store I shop at has Singin' in the Rain shower curtains. This is BRILLIANT and I want one ( Read more... )

Today has been a day full of little happy things, which is the absolute best kind of day. I got to work bang on time! It turns out the dress I'm draping has the same sleeves and skirt as another dress my coworker already finished draping, so I can borrow off a lot of her work! I deposited my paycheck! I went to the library and messed around for an ( Read more... )

(I totally typoed that SO HERE IS THE DELE. Just so you all know.)

Today is an excellent day. I went on a date! With a real live girl! My gosh! And it was not OMG THE MOST EPIC ROMANTIC THING EVER but we got coffee and pastries and hung out for an hour or so and it was a pretty nice time. So I feel marginally better about things now ( Read more... )

Once again, flist, happy New Year! Today, I mean this in the sense where I have come home to the mess of a life I didn't have time to straighten out between finals and going away for Christmas, and now have to sort out EVERYTHING EVER. With the added confusion of finding space (physical and metaphorical) for new things. It's complicated ( Read more... )

Hello, Internet! Many trivial and exciting things have happened to me since I got back to Bethlehem. I worked 22 hours! I bought a really cute new cosmetics case! I watched season 1 of DS9 and am just starting the last season of TNG! I saw two people from my high school class who didn't recognize me, and one who was really happy to see me and I am ( Read more... )
