(no subject)
1) I, like, want to buy SAT prep cards for the girls on ANTM so badly. Chartreuse, okay, I'll give you that as a weird word. Magenta and aloof aren't. And I know all the other words are people's funny foreign names, but if you want to work in the fashion industry, how have you not heard of anyone? I haven't wanted to work in the fashion industry since I was eleven and used to design dresses in MS Paint and I know who Gisele Bundchen and Christian Lacroix are. If you can't read a book, at least read a blog, and just imagine how much more reading you would be doing if you'd decided to pursue a career in constitutional law!
2) In my every-couple-years venture to internet stalk (by which I mean "See if they have a widely available, professional website and then forget about them for another three years") people that I was summer friends with before Facebook existed, I have discovered that the girl I had a massive crush on when I was fourteen makes a living selling handcrafted ketubot with her husband in Israel now. How very unsurprising of me. I also had a crush on this total asshole who wore a top hat that summer, which also sounds like me, but she was much nicer.
3) My dinner was terrible for me. I loved it. I fried potatoes with onions and cheese and pesto and then I had muesli with chocolate for dessert. I'm sick, and since it's the last day of the month, I can always promise myself I'll eat better in February anyway. ♥
4) I hate that when I'm sick I almost always feel best at night, because after a day of being exhausted and ugh, I get to the time when I can actually go to bed and my body's like, "Oh, but I feel good now! I can kind of breathe and I'm barely coughing! Don't sleep, Emma! Stay up and plaaaaaay!" I have an 8AM class in the morning, body, and I'm going whether I feel like crap or not.
5) Things my dad is terrible at: bilingual dictionaries. Today he tried to make a joke on FB about bears to me, but about French bears, and he called them "ba[i]ssiers." Which is a French financial term for a bear market. Like, what dictionary did he look in where that was listed before "ours" and without a little "Fi." before it? This is like the time he told me that he "comme'd" me -- like, is there a dictionary that wouldn't tell him that's not a verb and that he wants "aimer"? His brain actively rejects any attempt to introduce foreign vocabulary.
6) I really need to ... tidy and do laundry someday. Like, Wednesday.
7) Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play.
1. Silence is Golden//Garbage
2. He Whipped My Ass in Tennis (Then He Fucked My Ass in Bed)//Pansy Division
3. The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room
4. Cold as Ice//Foreigner
5. Allentown//Billy Joel
6. You've Got to Be Carefully Taught//South Pacific
7. As Time Goes By//Tuck & Patti
8. Personality Crisis//The New York Dolls
9. Vendelay//The Ark (which, ironically, was the last name of the douche with the top hat)
10. Confrontation//Les Miz
That was mildly embarrassing.
