This will excite no one but me, but...
I rearranged my room and hung up Christmas lights that I hadn’t put up since I moved in August. Once I fill the big, blank wall above my bed, I’ll post photos. It makes me so happy. :)
Dear Bruno Mars, Where have you been all my life?...
I’m beginning to think that if I just slow down, I’ll have more time.
I know it seems paradoxical, but I also think that you know what I mean. If I get a full night’s sleep, wake up early, make some breakfast, read the paper, et cetera, I think my life will become more full and enjoyable.
As I believe I mentioned, I’m currently unemployed (or funemployed, if you must...
People I like a lot right now.
Like, real people (I think).
The Literary Collective - Makes good words sound better. Thought for Food - Obviously lives a fabulous, good food-filled life. Pale Fire - Smart, Hilarious, and loves Nabokov. She’s one of my best friends, but I swear I’m not biased. Stardust Starless - Sometimes I’m confused. Sometimes I’m intrigued. Mostly I’m both. C’est la vie....

Drawing has taken a turn for the worse. Perhaps...
Beginning to draw again is hard.
I feel like I’m running a hand-eye coordination marathon.
My therapist and I were talking about how I wish I spent more time on hobbies and less time, well, fucking around (on tumblr). When I was younger, I was ALL ABOUT drawing/painting. I took art lessons for probably eight years or so and then, when college started, I just…stopped. No time.

Sense and Sensibility
Dad: OMG! Sense & Sensibility is on Encore3. Bring the girls over and we’ll all cry together when Mr Edward Faris tells Eleanor that he is not, in fact, married. (Willoughby=douchebag, btw.)

“I feel like I can’t breathe.” “Like you can’t or like you don’t want to?”
That is a good question.
Blizzard? Psssh.
Cross your fingers that I make it to Philadelphia today!
Things I Hate: My Job
I received…ready for this? SIX hours of work this week.
SIX. During which I will make $2.13/hour wage and probably less than $60 in tips.
I’m quitting. I’m quitting this week. I got a check for Christmas that I wanted to save but will provide some cushion while I become a full-time job hunter.
Fuck this job.

Reporter: What would you call that hairstyle you’re wearing? George: Arthur.
Frohe Wiehnachten, Internet!
When he first took my hand on that cold Christmas...
I’m so excited to give my family their gifts!
