WOOOOOO!
Happy New Year Tumblrs! I’m all about the “time is just a construct so this day is not special” thing, HOWEVER:
This is my first New Years with a boyfriend.
I got an adorable dress at Forever 21 for $10 to wear for the occasion.
Since the dress was so cheap I got bracelets to match the dress because they were 2/$8.
I’m having a really great hair day.

Waching St. Elmo’s Fire for the first time because my mom told me it was relevant to my life and to watch it before New Years Eve.
Just watched Kevin rock out to RESPECT and I think that might be the scene that hits closest to home.
If I wasn’t so committed to Willow Smith, he’d be my new spirit animal.

Kennedy is brilliant and this piece on her blog hits a little too close to home:
We are all of us half in love with our own flaws. And when we, unsolicited, point them out to others, it is not self-reproach that drives our confession, but self-adoration. We bring attention to them as a way of bringing attention to ourselves. Look!, we say, not only am I introspective enough to...

I feel like I should be doing something fun and exciting with my snowed in status like dancing around drunk and naked eating all the cookies I made or knitting 2084239 hats but instead I’m looking up grad schools with religious studies programs and listening to Andrew Bird.

Of course the one time I don’t have a billion people over when I’m housesitting, the power goes out (only for a second THANK GOODNESS) causing the internet and cable to go out as well. Not having the TV sucks, but at least I was able to reset the internet or I would have been in full out panic attack mode, for sure.

“I just read that Dutch police arrested 12 Somalis on Christmas Eve on suspicion...”
– The Pillow Fort: The Netherlands
We heard about this on the radio on the way home from Christmas dinner today and my mom FREAKED, “YOU’RE GOING THERE! MAKE SURE YOU DON’T MAKE FRIENDS WITH ANY SOMALIAN PIRATES! WILL IT BE SAFE BY JANUARY 22ND?!” and then my brother said...

What does it say about me as a person that I drop EVERYTHING and everyone and my whole life to help/run to anyone in any kind of trouble at any point in time whether they ask for me or not and do everything I can to make them happy/better or at least distract them; meanwhile, if I’M sad, upset or a general hot mess, I don’t even tell anyone, let alone let anyone help me because I...

After a good cry , don’t you just want to sleep all day.
crying is exhausting. it makes me want to sleep.
The worst is when you cry but then are too upset to sleep so you are just tired and sad and cranky and awake.

For the first time in my entire life I have no interest in the next two days. I want to stay home and cry and knit and be in my bed and not have to deal. Instead I have to dress up and smile and pretend to be fine and talk to people. Argh. Glad all this drama came to a head ON Christmas Eve.

When does Mercury GTFO of retrograde? I’m blaming astrological symbols such as this and the lunar eclipse on why my life is currently in SHAMBLES and would like someone to tell me that when space goes back to normal my life will too.

Apple Moments
Currently sitting in Apple NOT ready to throw my computer out the window and/or at the “genius” employees. I made a big stink at check in, “$900 repair resulting in 3 weeks and 5 repairs within three months” and had no wait time and was helped right away by a manager. Even though I’m only here because my right audio isn’t working as a result of the last...

My favorite part of studying for finals is when you decide to find the syllabus and figure out how much the final will actually count. And then doing math ad figuring out how terribly you can bomb said final and still end up with a decent grade in the class.

Obviously as soon as tumblr started working again everyone got on at the same time and the servers are “over capacity.” So I might as well wait until the morning when everything is back to normal.
