Wow. A lot has happened since my last update...and I do mean a lot. Nothing incredible or life-changing, but fun stuff all the same. A visit to the grandparents, a night of karaoke with drunk middle-aged women and a chocolate fountain, and three days of slow mindless torture in the institution and so-called educational hell-hole the government ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, one and all! [A day late!] My New Year's celebration was rather low-key as compared to last year, but was actually more fun, at least in my opinion. It started out sort of depressing...my mom's best friend had asked if we'd go visit her mother in the hospital because she and her son were in Disneyland and they didn't want her to be ( Read more... )

Do you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, you've watched one too many television crime shows? Because I had that very same epiphany today, as I sat on the couch with my eyes fully trained on the brush in my hand and the toes to which I was applying the [electric pink :-)] polish, and even with my attention fully absorbed by the task at hand ( Read more... )

The title's a song lyric. I swear to God ( Read more... )

Just felt that you all ought to know that. *stares at hand, completely bedazzled by the thing* I feel silly. I'm not normally such a material girl. I never wear jewelry, much less anything more expensive than the fifty-cent sale rack at Claire's. This is the first piece of jewelry I've ever fallen in love with. And it's one of those head-over-heels ( Read more... )

1. Stop cussing.

Because, truly, it does not bode well for the whole elegant image I try to promote. Not to be a snob, of course, although I'm sure I'm often percieved as such--just to get the morons that inhabit my school to leave me the heck alone. Despite that reasoning, I'm sure I come off as a royal bitch to some people. There's one kid in my ( Read more... )

When I first heard this song, I thought it was "dreams and sewing machines", which I actually liked better than the real lyrics. But "trains" makes more sense as far as the song is concerned, I guess. I wish I could write songs like Imogen Heap; string a whole bunch of random words together with a knot of underlying, cryptic symbolism and have it ( Read more... )

I am feeling very political today. I don't know why. I think I'm going to go Uber-Activist tomorrow, I'll wear my Genocide scarf and Aids bracelet+necklace and other politically relevant clothing...
Anyway, in accordance with my politics mood, I took a Bzoink Political Stance survey. It wasn't the most complete one I've ever seen (srsly? Who forgets ( Read more... )

Enoungh, enough of being basely tearful! I'll show my noble stuff by being bright and cheerful!
Sounds like a good philosophy to me, Cunegonde. Oh geeze. Just the word "philosophy" is enough to get me started singing another Cheno song. As it is, this first one has been stuck in my head all day. And seeing as it's an extremely high Barbara Cook/ ( Read more... )

I find it almost hypocritical to reflect back on 2006, because '06 was, in essence, my year of reflection. Changes in surroundings (as well as the transition from kids to young adults) forced me to re-evaluate the people I was surrounding myself with, the dreams I was pursuing and the choices I was making. It wasn't fun, to say the very least, but ( Read more... )
