It is apparently Take Your Child to Work Day at NYU. There are wee children all over the place. It is freaking me out.

Squee! Ambiguously British boy is a pagan metalworker who owns Gothic goat-skull armor and totally just asked me out! And he followed my Ideal Asking Out Procedure: "Hello, these are my credentials of awesome. You seem cool as well. I know of a very good restaurant. On the moon ( Read more... )

I am not at Latin class because the F train is too fucked up this morning to get me there. Very annoying. I haven't missed any other classes, I suppose, but Latin is very entertaining, damnit! On the upside, can now post and shop online and do laundry before the party tonight ( Read more... )

I just got tickets to visit my family over Memorial Day. Conveniently, that means I'll be there for Sara's birthday, too. Yay, Sara!

Because tonight was really kind of hilariously insane. I met Dani, Rachel, and Dani's mother, aunt, and 12-year-old cousin for dinner. Almost immediately that bizarre effect came into play where ( Read more... )

In totally exciting news, I get to play the part of Dani's honorary, substitute, brand-new cousin tonight and join her family for dinner at Babbo. It's all fancified and celebrity chef-having. Yay ( Read more... )
