Goals or Something

I don't think I have ever made a New Year's Resolution in my 21 years being alive. I make so many mini goals for myself throughout the year that I've always just found the practice of resolutions really...pointless. The way I see it, if there's something you want to change about yourself or your life, START NOW. If you wait for a specific day or month or whatever, it's that much easier to put it off. "Oh this week wasn't right, I'll start next week." Fuck that. Start now.

With that being said, here are some goals that I am going to try to accomplish in the foreseeable (that does not look like a word. At all.) future.

(Also, hey Octavia thanks for the inspiration)

1. Make my room at school as comfortable and cute as possible so I have somewhere to hang out that I actually like. And somewhere to hide and be cozy when I inevitably get depressed by the fact that no one at school wants to be my friend. 
2. Try to start running or exercising or something that will get me in shape. Because I am very not.
3. Continue working on not letting my happiness be contingent on the affection of other people. 
4. Be okay with not going out and having fun on friday and saturday nights at school. Because, come on, it's not like you really want to hang out with those jerks anyway. 
5. BE HAPPY.

It is also, at least for me, counterproductive to make too many goals, because there's no way I have the initiative to accomplish very much. I think these are all reasonable and possible. Well, I'm still working on making that last one possible. Easier said than done and all that. 

Oh wait, one more.

     6. Blog more.

Ok that's all. I'm going to try to go running later. 

Update: I went running and I'm pretty sure I almost died. But I'll try again and hope that it gets better.

MY LEGS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF

Look at this! Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?????

I'm still getting eaten alive by bugs every night, and now I have this big ass bruise and some weird rash looking thing.

I don't know why I'm dedicating an entire blog post to this but THERE YOU GO. 

I'm really going to miss my legs. They've done me good.

When In Doubt

It is thursday evening (thursevening?) and, since I don't have class tomorrow, I don't have anything to do and I am bored so I thought, hey you know what I haven't done in a while? Posted something on my blog. So that's what I'm doing. 

So.

Hi!

I just had the sudden uncontrollable urge (a la DEVO) to go out and buy lipstick. Out, in the wet and cold... Should I do it? SHOULD I?! If I do, I should go now so I'm back before my roommate gets back from work. That way she can't judge me for buying (more) lipstick.

Mwahahaha I did it! Mmmm it's red and I love it.

Weh my face is dumb. But there u go. It's one of those revlon kissable balm stain things. Too bad nobody here wants to kiss me.

On another, somewhat horrible, note: I have bug bites all over my legs and I have NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE FROM and it is freaking me out!!!!!! They are so itchy. I'm going to make an appointment at the health center to see if maybe they can tell me what the fuck is eating me alive. I really don't need this right now, y'all. I've got finals coming up.



Oh my god I hate this new blogger format. I don't know if it's just because I'm weird, but I prefer to have a ton of white space underneath what I'm typing, instead of being able to see everything I've already written. Ugh this is bugging me!!!! Oh I figured out a way around it. Ok cool.

This is the most uninteresting blog ever.

Oh something kind of cool! My (favorite) professor emailed me and asked if I would want to be the student representative on the committee to choose what book the incoming students read over the summer. UM, OF COURSE I WOULD BE INTERESTED! I'm so excited! For one because I get to read and talk about books and also because HE ASKED ME!!!!! Ah! I am so stoked about this I can't even convey it.

I'm hungry. I'm going to go eat cookies.

Byeeeee.

Lovin' Spoonfulls

I went thrift shopping with my grandma today! I didn't really get much, just a hoodie and a little bag thing, but it was fun! I will always love thrift shopping. I very, very rarely pay full price for anything. And if I do I have to really think it's going to be worth it.

After thrift shopping she took me to lunch at a vegetarian restaurant called Lovin' Spoonfulls that I've always wanted to go to but never have. It was DELICIOUS! I (actually, we both) got a hummus sandwich on grilled bread with a side of potato salad and chips. Ugh it was so good. I love eating vegetarian. I loved eating vegetarian before I was a vegetarian. I just think it's so delicious and fresh and it just makes me feel GOOD. Before we left I got a piece of chocolate cake to take home with me and I pretty much ate it for dinner and it was amazing.  Ugh. I love food so much.

One week from today it will be the first day of school! I'm so excited. I hope my roommate and I get along. I think we will; when we went to housing registration together she seemed like the kind of person I could be really good friends with. BUT I DON'T WANT TO JINX ANYTHING.

Ok I'm going to go back to reading my Edna St. Vincent Millay biography byeeee.

Days Until I Go Back to School: 5

Woodwinked

Today is my last saturday at home and it was actually a pretty good one. I'm watching the Office right now and I'm about to make sugar cookies. Earlier today my mom and I went to tea with my aunt and my grandma as a kind of birthday thing, since all of their birthdays are on the day that we're leaving for school. It was a high tea kind of thing, with finger sandwiches and scones and everything. I've loved getting tea since we went to Victoria, Canada and we got an English tea service at a cute little tea house. This was the first, and last, time seeing my aunt this summer. That makes me kind of sad. For some reason, as I've gotten older, I've felt that my aunt and I are pretty similar. And I told her that whenever I'm in town and she needs a cat sitter, I would love to do it. And she totally loved that idea! Hooray!
After tea my mom and I went to La Encantada because I wanted to get a certain eyeshadow at MAC. The one I wanted is called Woodwinked and I got it and it is beautiful and I love it! I've seen a lot of tutorials on YouTube (like this one) that use it and I just had to have it. After that we went to Target and I finally got some plain black flats that I have been needing desperately since I wore a hole in the bottom of my last pair.
And now I am home. I'm waiting for my butter to get soft so I can make my cookies!! I eat too much.

COFFEY and ONE WEEK TO GOOOOO

I just discovered a new YouTube channel that I am so in love with. She only has 22 videos so far but she is hilarious and you need to go watch her immediately. COFFEY CHAT. HERE. And her cat is real cute.

One week from today, friday, I will be in PORTLAND, OREGON. I am very excited. We're going to be there on my mom's birthday, so obviously we're going to go to Voodoo doughnuts for a birthday doughnut duuuuh. We're also going to Powell's because it's Powell's and if we didn't go my whole life would fall apart. Then we're going down to McMinnville and the next day I will move back in at schoooooooooooool. Ack one week.

My throat hurts I better not be getting sick. Nooooo.

I'm going to go watch more Coffey Chat byeeeee.
