Oh. My. God.

Why is writing one page so much harder than writing three pages?!! FUUCK I just want to go home.

Feeling kind of manic today... I always feel this way after kicking a migraine, like I've just woken from weeks and weeks of sleeping and have slowly been building power and ambition the whole time in anticipation of the moment.

Just watch this be the one time that I'm able to ignore feelings of dread and they come back to bite me in the ass ( Read more... )

My latest awesome find from allmsu.com :

An old orange couch and matching chair by Herman Miller.
Price: $30 for the pair.

I can't wait to go home and sit in the woods this Thursday. Every time I feel upset, I want to go running or go walk in the woods or something, and I feel like I can't do that in Lansing because all sorts of crazy shit happens here. It makes me antsy ( Read more... )

I also answered an ad last night for a Coach purse (bought for $200, being sold for $15 because her ex gave it to her). My sister loves Coach like it's her job, so this would be a sweet Christmas present.

I rolled over in bed today after hitting the snooze, and my glasses went *snap* at the nosepiece. They were plastic/resin, so I couldn't solder them back together. I called my optometrist and set up an appointment for Friday the 13th (ooOOOOoooh!) to get a whole new pair, since my prescription was already 2 years old.

So I found this mushroom while I was walking near a grassy area downtown. I knew it was a puffball, and was pretty sure it was edible, thanks to 'My Side of the Mountain', so I wrapped it in newspaper and took it home. After looking up 4 different university mycology webpages on them, I was sure I had the right mushroom. Bigger than a fist (in ( Read more... )
