I'm ready for my next tattoo... as soon as I can afford it, that is.

It's gonna look like this:

I'm getting to the point in my life where I feel like I'm too old for a lot of things. Certain clothing, certain habits, certain people... which is more than a little depressing. I know how old I am, but I don't know how old I look to others, or how I'm supposed to start acting. At times I feel incredibly mature, and at others, indescribably ( Read more... )

I always feel this weird combination of guilt and annoyance when I realize how long it's been since I've posted. Guilt, because I spend so much time reading other people's stuff without giving back. Annoyance because it means I have to pick and choose what to talk about which is never fun. I much prefer having nothing to talk about ( Read more... )

I am severely procrastinating putting the final touches on my research question for TESOL Observation, which is due at 4:30 this afternoon. In lieu of that, I have successfully ( Read more... )

I feel... liberated. I cleaned like a crazy woman for about 3 hours today. My apartment is now relatively spotless. Of course, saying it's *absolutely* spotless would guarantee that it will be a trainwreck by tomorrow. So I'd like to keep it mentally in the mediocre range so I don't get upset when I wake up tomorrow morning and find the mess ( Read more... )

Today was not my day to venture out into the world. Dropping Chia off at work turned into a much bigger hassle than expected, due to the fact that some building on 2nd and Market was on fire. My slightly peevish mood at this point was only made worse by the 50-car funeral procession I crossed paths with less than a mile from my house, slowing me ( Read more... )

So I finally went out with some girls from my program tonight. Me, Roxanne, Hae Wook, and Ellen went down to Mad River and danced like fools. I had about 5 watered-down rum & cokes. It was so nice to hang out with people who go to Penn for once... it made me feel like I'm not a slacker. I go to school with some super-cool girls. Hae Wook is ( Read more... )

There are days when I feel like the city is against me... And then there is a point, much later in the day, when I wonder how I ever took so long to get here ( Read more... )

Having just inhaled a bowl of cheesy grits (my new favorite breakfast), I have decided to procrastinate a little longer before it becomes absolutely necessary for me to get ready for the day. There's some sort of stupid employee meeting at 1:30 that I am really not keen on attending; however, it's mandatory (whatever that means -- they threaten ( Read more... )

I haven't posted any entries in awhile because Chia somehow spilled Mountain Dew all over the keyboard, which didn't break it, per se, but the stickiness of it made typing T's, W's, and spaces incredibly frustrating. Even typing in a live chat today with a customer service rep (buying Mommy's Christmas present) took 5 minutes for 2 sentences ( Read more... )
