Today just feels weird. People are in weird moods. Everything seems hostile. And I keep telling myself “just start new now” but nothing’s really changing. I need a shift! Coffee time, perhaps?!
TOTALLY hear ya. It’s been a weird week. And it feels like it flew by in 12 minutes. Which might be good.
Incredible. →
This wine is tasting awesome.
Too bad I can’t waste away my made-up sorrows tonight and call in drunk to work tomorrow…
I need to start using sketchbooks.
What kind of designer am I, anyway? All of these blank sketchbooks at home. I thought to myself this morning actually that I should USE them. For what I’m not sure, but just freaking use them already. Like this guy: http://designobserver.com/archives/entry.html?id=38831
One of my friends from University had an amazing amount of sketchbooks and they were so absolutely gorgeous. I was so...
Copycat.
I can’t seem to come up with anything original lately. Hence all of the reblogging.

Great article describing how Obama runs the White House in terms of dress code, hours, etc. A must read.
I can vouch. :) →

antikris:
So terrible
I didn’t realize that was the reason… wow. This is getting bad.
Why are people so INCONSIDERATE?!?!??!?!?!
I am blown away
lovepuppy:
There are rad things happening right now. What a joyous time to be alive, in this body, in this place, living this life. I am blown away.
True.

I know you never suspected Because I never said Baby I was faking the whole time. How could you ever have guessed it? With no accomplices, Baby, I was faking the whole time.
Sounds familiar.

“If you’re crazy about ferrets, you’re enamored of them. It is less common but still acceptable to say “enamored with”; but if you say that you are enamored by ferrets, you’re saying that ferrets are crazy about you.”
Well really, who isn’t enamored by ferrets? I thought that was a given.
Oh Happy Day...
I woke up this morning with the most glorious feeling of pure joy. It was so bizarre. I’ve woken up happy before, but this, well, this was just unexpected and perfect. I think I actually had a smile on my face but it was dark and since I don’t have mirrors above my bed, I can’t confirm. I don’t remember what I was dreaming about, I don’t wake up to the radio so...
Don't even get me started on fertility drugs... →
Gossip Girl,
I should not feel anything when I watch you except loathing for the lifestyle you portray. Ok and a little envy as well. But you are a worthless show. Yet I am still drawn to you. And I almost cried at this rerun tonight. Am I soulless?
mass text
krispayne:
Mass text on a holiday: you’re an asshole and I don’t feel loved by you
Mass text about a birthday: you have a lot of friends and can’t be bothered to tell the same thing over and over, acceptable
Mass text random: you’re dj’ing at a bar and you think that a certain select of your friends would like it, and I’m in that group. Cool.
Mass text when your aunt dies: haven’t had this...

Fakeout.
Jay-Z’s ‘Show Me What You Got’ totally gets me every time… I get ready to sing ‘All I wanna do is zooma zoom zoom zoom and a boom boom…’ but no. Fail.
Dear Burt,
Thanks to you and to your bees for creating such lovely products, especially the Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and the Hand Salve.
However, the Hand Salve, while it does, yes, ‘salvage’ my hands from this awful winter that is making them look like a newborn’s with flaking skin and redness and just overall grossness, it also makes me look like a greased up hooker with the added...
OMG

If I see this Sarah McLachlin animal abuse commercial one more time I am going to LOSE IT! This commercial makes me cry EVERYTIME.
True. BAWLING. Pathetic.
Dammit!

A space heater and blow dryer shouldn’t blow the fuse EVERY SINGLE DAY! I am so sick of re setting all of my clocks. Dammit!
We must live in the same apartment. It’s SO annoying.
Grandparents.
So Grandpa’s been in the hospital for a few days. They are going to take him out and put him on hospice. Even though he was on hospice 2 years ago. It’s been going on this way for 17 years now (heart attacks, stroke, cancer, etc) but these past few years have really been just a waiting game. Now that he’s forgetting to swallow, we know the Dementia/Alzheimer’s has really...
HB is just that.
Via HB’s TMI email:
“1) TD has no cojones. This is the sequence of events in my bedroom. Ask him if he wants to come in. “Okay.” Ask him if he wants to sit on my bed. “Okay.” After another hour and a half of talking, I finally have to inch myself towards him, send telepathic messages by staring at his mouth, put my head on his shoulder, and then finally...

Today ended up a lot better than I thought!! I got a new purple iPod and the Nike+ (a belated Christmas present from my dad).
PLUS awesome phone calls and other STUFF. LIFE IS AWESOME. I think the Universe just wanted to serve me up a little reminder to always stay grateful.
The Universe will do that sometimes… :)
My place is a disaster.
I have shit to do.
I have to get off my ass and DO SOMETHING.
Lazy bitch.
Father = not as clueless as I thought
He contacted the other father (what am I, 17???) to see if the picture had been sent yet, and THANKFULLY it had not. So now I look like I’m INSANE because of the message I sent… ugh. What a mess.
Maybe it’ll be like one of those romantic comedies where this is funny and turns into a great relationship???
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
The kid’s not even in the country so when he...

It IS crisis Friday.
My father, God love him, is trying to set me up with his friend’s son. I say sure whatever fine, give him my email or tell him to find me on Facebook.
Today I think, ‘I should send my dad a picture to send to this guy before he chooses one himself…’ and good God was I TOO LATE.
I send a headshot, Facebook profile pic, where I look GREAT, and I get an email back telling me...

Saw condos last night. LOVE 2 of them. Too bad I can’t combine the two best parts of both… One is HUGE and awesome and one is comfortable and homey. One has all of the ammenities that I want but the other one is bigger so I’m wondering if more space is worth the 3 story walkup and no balcony. Probably not.
Realtor = awesome. I want to be skinny and hot like her. And have a huge...
Current status.
My apartment is a mess.
I have 2 huge bags of recycling by my front door that I mean to eventually bring back to the suburbs since this city has not yet realized that a functional, useable recycling program is important to its citizens… these bags are blocking the walkway thus making it awkward to enter my place.
I have dishes in the sink, both dirty and clean. Mostly clean. Bonus.
I have...

Sounds like what Obama was sayin'...
Today’s Daily Teaching from The Secret:
Love is the highest power we possess to be in complete harmony with the law of attraction. The more love we feel, the greater our power. The more selfless love we feel, the more unfathomable our power.
The law of attraction has been called the law of love, because the law itself is a gift of love to humanity. It is the law by which we can create...
I am absolutely overwhelmed with love and hope and happiness.

Watching the inauguration celebration is seriously bringing tears to my eyes. I am listening to people report their feelings about how they are so hopeful and are meeting new friends on the mall and how everyone is so kind and happy and polite… and wow. 2 million people all there for 1 reason - the faith that they have put into Barack Obama to change our country. A few people from the South...

I still love the poster. :) At least through tomorrow. Then we can get over it.
