I got woken up at 5.04 AM today ( Read more... )

Surprisingly, ballet class wasn't nearly the disaster I expected it to be. I'm only a wee bit sore in the backs of my calves (why there, of all places, I do not know), but it's not enough to stop me from doing anything; I still went to the gym and ran and lifted like normal; it's more of the 'oh, well, that's an annoying feeling, stop that, please ( Read more... )

Now that I'm not in school anymore and am working (mostly) normal hours, I actually have the free time to do normal-people things, like have hobbies. So I decided that I was going to start ballet again. I was forced to take a year off between having school classes that conflicted with ballet classes and then that whole clusterfuck of sickness from ( Read more... )

Crabby Cat and I have new house rules. She is no longer allowed in my bathroom, so hopefully she'll stop peeing on my bathmats / floor / dirty clothes on the floor. She is less than thrilled, because this means that she no longer gets to drink directly from the sink. Ever since I let her drink from the sink once when she first got here, she's ( Read more... )

Had to take Nana to the airport yesterday. I swear, if I'd had my passport with me (really, if I'd had either passport with me, because I would have risked travelling illegally), I would have walked right up to the ticket counter, plunked down my credit card, and asked for a ticket for that afternoon's flight to Paris ( Read more... )

I managed to find a vinyl copy of The New York Dolls' first album - for $13. Wicked. I'm slowly building up my collection of record-records (as opposed to cd-records or digital-records). I don't have too many yet, but I'm terribly fond of the ones that I have managed to snag so far - original pressings of Meat is Murder, Siamese Dream, OMD, ( Read more... )

For the first time in my life, I can look in a mirror and not feel absolutely disgusted with what I see. That doesn't mean I like what I see most days; rather, I don't look at myself and think I'm a cow who needs to lose a ton of weight. It's taken me many years to come to terms with how I look and accept myself for who I am. Growing up as a ( Read more... )

My mom used to say, only half-jokingly, that I must have been a French peasant in a past life ( Read more... )

First official job rejection. I figured as such when I saw the job I applied for re-posted today, two weeks after it closed and disappeared from USAJobs ( Read more... )

New life goal?

Find a doctor who will sterilize me by my 27th birthday. This gives me three years.

Now I just have to find a job with awesome insurance.
