I used to have several anklets of assorted yarn and string wrapped around my left ankle (to the point where I had a significant tan line of where they usually sat on my foot). A couple were just random braided things I had made but a couple hold a special significance for me. I was just down to two until moments ago ( Read more... )

And I am severely :[ frownyface at the prospect of leaving Houston today. I'm not going to get to say a proper goodbye to my dad because he has to work, and I'm not going to get to cry to myself because I'll be riding with Lauren. Who I had a fight with tonight, because she thinks she's an adult and I don't. We have very differing ideas on what an ( Read more... )

For a woman who is fairly technologically-retarded, my mother spends an inordinate amount of time on this computer.

Anyway. My last day play by play:

Woke up.
Mom combed out my hair.
Went to Shirley, spent approximately two hours getting that done. Permed, shampoo'd, straightened and cut. (80 fuckin' dollars, too.)
Stopped by the Steidley's one last ( Read more... )

I love it. I've listened to it once, and I love it.

I love/hate him so much sometimes.

RIP Walter Cronkite. You were le awesome in the world of journalism.

In other news (mind the pun), Redbox is awesome. Mom and I watched Madea Goes To Jail (a movie I could not convince/beg/coerce my friends into seeing while it was in theaters) and it was ( Read more... )

I am purchasing far too many things online these days.

I just got through a joint session on ae.com with Courtney and Nickey wherein I got some underwear and a nice cowboy shirt (now I need some boots to go with it before I depart from Tejas again), I've bought from shirt.woot and woot and tee-fury and designbyhumans's serendipitee and I also ( Read more... )

You know why?

RIP Michael and Farrah. You will both be missed (and memorialized in the next few days).

STAR TREK

WIN.

I'd extrapolate, but I've got to get some sleep because I'm going back to working at the JCC in the morning and I'm not going to get off until 5:30pm. I'm pretty much hitting the ground running with this one.

At this rate I'll never finish Mom's Mother's day gifts (but after the mood she was in today I don't much care ( Read more... )

So the parental units drove up here to come get half my stuff. My bookshelf is bare, I found some old textbooks I can't wait to sell back (cash, cha-ching, cha-ching!), I halved my shoe collection and have now only three jackets to keep me warm. Decided to keep my bike, since it's such a convenience to me. I took odwn some of my posters, tried to ( Read more... )

Liz and I have to wait all year to say that to each other.

:D

And Happy Kwanzaa crackers, since I'm the only legit black person some of you guys may know. (Who is also a RENThead.)

I got her tea and a Snoopy + Woodstock/Peanuts Friend book thingy. It's tiny and filled with quotes from good people.

I GOT A GLOSSY HARM AND MAC IN RETURN. And a satsuma ( Read more... )

NOOOO. R.I.P. Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.

I am very seriously in love with the song Everything Is Alright by Motion City Soundtrack. It came out in 2005. Pandora is awesome, but it introduces me to OLD MUSIC. (Though I suppose that's how it gets the licenses to play songs, so. *shrug*)

TPP party today. Good times.

Finished Stephenie Meyer's The Host ( Read more... )
