Angsting
Most of my more-personal (yet still often vague) journaling is locked, for anyone reading along at home. My feeeeeeelings filter is probably super out of date, since I haven't really used LJ for two years. -
List of things that currently make me cry
Most songs in 3/3, going through South San Francisco on BART or Caltrain, glasses cleaning cloths, lactaid pills, bats, peppers, matadores, picnics, Charles Dickens books, holidays, squids, half of the locations in San Francisco. Cookies. Yeah, pretty much a lot of things. Also cop cars, but that's a whole other thing, sort of. -

Today, I was walking home in the perfect San Francisco day, sunny with a cold breeze, eating one of the sweetest cherries ever, and I felt so perfect happy. It made me think of how it's not just tempting to believe in a god or a spirit because it's scary to think of the state of not being, but it's also tempting to feel blessed and to have ( Read more... ) -

Sewing ambitions
I'm quite sure that I'll not get around to making every ensemble to which I aspire, but I'm starting out planning big. What actually happens happens. I really haven't made a full ensemble from scratch since the Edwardian ball last year (and technically I wore a blouse I already had as the under top piece, so that wasn't quite from scratch). I've ( Read more... ) -
