There's this bathroom on the very bottom floor of the Hotel Morgan. The entry is nondescript; almost like a supply closet, just white and flat, with no indication that it might be a bathroom unless you're tall enough to see the worn 'Ladies' sign above a normal person's line of sight. But then you enter and you never want to leave. You walk into ( Read more... )

I am NOT going out there! There was just a mini tornado in my room! I'm lame. I don't care.

I like looking at my Frida Kahlo calendar. I like coloring and listening to music and looking at my Frida Kahlo calendar. There she is, as stoic as ever. Sometimes she's judging, sometimes she's sad, sometimes she is angry, sometimes, like two seconds ago, she is just tired. I wonder why she painted herself with monkeys. I haven't looked at ( Read more... )

I am awake right now because I have fallen in love with writing. I am reworking my narrative to create a second, even better draft. My teacher has inspired me to the point that each waking moment (technically sleeping moments too as last night I dreamed about writing)I consider how to implement new techniques, take risks (the BIG thing in 103), ( Read more... )

For approx. five minutes yesterday I was super unhappy to be back. But now, after I've moved in, I am very happy. I wanted my space, I have space. If studying abroad doesn't work out for whatever reason I'm not going to live in the dorms. I think I would like an apartment by myself. It may be lonely, but I neeeeed my space. I had a whole ( Read more... )

Whenever I'm in love I think about writing a (I feel an should be used here instead) lj entry. Love is distracting. And and boring and filling. I go to sleep loving, feeling loved and wake up anticipating love. And there you go, there's not much more to say, which is why I never write anything ( Read more... )

I started looking at knitting patterns again today, which is awful because I still don't knit very well. But I envision a cable-knit hat and lots a scarfs and maybe some socks and snowflake ornaments. I have neither the time nor skill ( Read more... )

I ran into Aly in the bathroom this afternoon. I asked her when her finals were. She said her last one was on Tuesday. I asked her when she was going home. She said Saturday. I was surprised! Saturday?! She said, "I don't want to go home. I love it here." I gave a chuckle and said, "Yeah, I know what you mean. Me too ( Read more... )
