Hey all! I've been mostly absent from fandom again lately, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SEMESTER TO BE OVER. This weeks highlights: found a student cheating on her THESIS OMG and so she is accusing the department of BEING RACIST. The joys of teaching <3
This week has been kind of a pit of lows: i got into a (stupid) fight with my mom, i literally can't get a dude to talk to me, there's some benja-mindy terribleness happening, my depression has reached a pit, which isn't helping. I am aware that i need to shower, I just can't. Not sleeping, but I can't take my sleeping pills because my apt is a disaster and what if i sleepwalk and die? my acne is terrible right now, and i'm not going to a baseball game on saturday. i lost my ventra card.
BUT HERE'S SOME GOOD THINGS: I quantified how valuable I am at work. I saw last_empress and Canada (J was fantastic, canada was...weird. it was like if i were dreaming about america, i would know it was fake because of some specific details). The 2013 Stanley Cup Winning Chicago Hot Dogs have made it to the WCSF. Stan and Peggy ARE GOING TOWARDS SOMETHING ON MAD MEN JUST GET THERE GUYS, I HAVE FAITH.
Oh! and the guy who i was briefly engaged to last summer (he committed to our bit, HARD, and we exchanged phone numbers but he never texted me back) stood near me on the bus today, but i looked like human garbage so i couldn't confront him.
they were doing something in NY together this weekend and were 'stagramming it up and then they got back and unfollowed each other on instagram. she deleted three photos, he deleted a caption & a photo featuring her, and they each deleted several tweets.
look. they can not be together that's fine (i will be sad but whatever it's their lives) but i was basically catatonic yesterday evening after i discovered this
Things are pretty good here. Last weekend I saw The Book of Mormon for the second time, and it was fantastic. Also ate some great German food beforehand (pork schnitzel, yum).
I took tomorrow off for basically no reason, so that will be nice to have some time to decompress and maybe clean the house. Tonight BOE is in Chicago for the NFL draft so it's just me and Lana, and the latter has retired to my bed, so I am watching The Last Five Years and drinking blackberry wine because why not.
A friend and former coworker is coming over tomorrow and going to BOE's band's show with me, and since she's staying then night I am channeling craponaspatula and making a feast on Sunday morning. Well, by a feast I mean quiche lorraine and lemon poppyseed muffins, but both from scratch so I am pretty excited and we'll see how that goes. I have never made quiche before, mostly because BOE doesn't eat eggs so if I made one who would eat it? But I am happy I'll finally get to try. My mom makes great quiche and I have stolen her handwritten recipe,

I saw Avengers on Tuesday because for some reason we got it last week in Aus. There was a serious lack of shirtlessness in general. There was a perfect opportunity with Chris Evans chopping wood, WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE HIS SHIRT ON AT A TIME LIKE THIS!
OH and I got an iPhone, and just this afternoon I successfully synced most of my music to it, WHICH WAS THE WHOLE POINT. So, yay! I am even learning to use the stupid iOS keyboard instead of just breaking down and buying Swype in the App Store.
Also, I am playing the official Kwazy Cupcakes and it is bananas
Can we just talk about how my new phone ate stars_inthe_sky's number, and so I texted someone with her name about The Last Five Years and that person told me I was going to be an aunt to a little girl? Yeah, BOE's stepsister has the same name. There was this whole confusion about
WAIT YOU'RE PREGNANT?! --YES I TOLD YOU ALREADY ARE YOU SURE?! -- YES YOU CONGRATULATED ME OMG WRONG PERSON
For a split second when I read this, I thought you were talking about crazy SIL, but then realized it was a different SIL….but imagine how amazing the newsletters would get if crazy SIL was pregnant??
Also, congrats on getting a niece! I learned recently that your nieces and nephews can collectively be called your niblings….but you probably already knew that.
