for the record: caterpillar stings HURT.

my fingers are swollen.

I need more weekends like this past one. Didn't do much. We had a bunch of crazy thunderstorms. It sounded like bombs were exploding by my window. The ceiling caved in my roommate's bedroom at one in the morning and the glass bottles at the top of her closet shattered. There was an awful sound.

My roommates keep talking about their costumes for Mardi Gras week. I have no intention of buying or looking for a costume. I'm going to make it all about the shoes instead. I'm buying myself some wacky Nike hi tops or something along those lines. I see that as a wiser investment to make considering I could wear them for the mass bike rides too. As ( Read more... )
