Because my life is so fascinating, here’s what I do all day sometimes!
^I wear my animal feet slippers when I’m cold. And when I’m not cold. Because I wish I was this non-descript animal.
^ I watch Gilmore Girls. Because….I don’t need a reason. Oi with the poodles already!
^ I put pins in my world map showing all the places I want to go. Alternatively, I could just throw a dart and the map and let the dart choose for me. Better be a decisive and well-travelled dart. Although I might end up throwing the dart at myself, even if it’s going in the other direction.
^ I try to do crosswords. But I end up half doing every crossword I can find. It makes me feel smart if I can answer some of them, but the people at my school magazine who write these are nuts, because I certainly don’t know the answer to “Wouldn’t you rather be a predator?”
^ I ask my Magic 8 Ball stuff. I’m super indecisive and I need other people to make my decisions for me. Like an inanimate object.
Partially to kick start the blog and partially because I’m bored, here are 5 things that I like at the moment!
Jerseys that look like they were knitted by your grandma (Your grandma, not mine. My grandma can’t sew. She writes books. If she could write me a jersey, that wouldn’t suck either). Last time I checked, I didn’t live in Antarctica…but I haven’t left the house in 5 hours, so who knows, maybe my house decided it would rather live somewhere really cold. So yeah, jerseys are ace. Kinda wishing I had an eskimo jacket, cos I’ve been wearing 3 pairs of tights and 2 pairs of socks all day, and I’m still Jack Frost’s best friend. What.
My new lomography came ra. Don’t know what that is? Me neither.I got this for my birthday last Friday. It’s really cool, and the photos they showed me in the book (I think they did that to make me feel bad about myself because my photos will never be that good) were awesome. It’s a random style of photography and it’s this crazy old-school retro camera that comes with a separate flash thing that you have to attach. Did you know that the flash thingies normally require batteries? I didn’t… I’m also 93% percent sure that half of my photos will be black because I keep forgetting to take off the d*mn lens cap. Take of your own cap Lenny.
Coffee tables. Turns out, they’re more than just a place to put your coffee. Not that I drink coffee. Because coffee is gross and bad and it gives you energy when you probably don’t need it, and anywho, I have energy drinks for that..My grandma gave me a coffee table for my birthday. It’s not weird, I’ve wanted one for ages. So I can put the coffee that I don’t drink somewhere other than on the floor and scare the sh*t out of myself every time I get off the couch because I think I’ve knocked it over. The coffee table is nice and solid, it has 2 little drawers under it (One that I keep my chocolate in, and a second that I keep my magazines in. It’s a combo of my University magazine, TIME magazines and Cleo magazines, mainly because I don’t want people to know that I read Cleo. I’m thinking of just casually leaving a few TIME magazines on top of the coffee table so people think I’m smart). But the best thing about the coffee table - who really needs a name. Fernando - is that it’s the perfect height for me to put my feet up on. Of course that is its intended purpose.
Strawberry Fields Tic Tacs. These are the greatest things in the world. Better than chocolate. No, what?! Nothing is better than chocolate. Except these Tic Tacs. I was always an Orange Tic Tac fan, but these are just *staring at the little white box filled with strawberry-ey goodness thinking ‘where have you been all my life?’*. Except for the fact that they’re pink. Yuck. But yum.
J.D. Salinger’s ‘Franny and Zooey’. I have gotten this book out of the library (yes, I still use the library, don’t judge) 3 times because I kept starting it and not finishing it. I got to the 3rd chapter and got distracted. But I got it out again and I’ve read another chapter and I really like it. I’ve wanted to read it since it was mentioned in ‘Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares’ (Now that book, I read 4 times in 3 days). I definately recommend Franny and Zooey, if you can get past the funny names - there’s a female character called Booboo, and Zooey is a man. So confused.
And that’s it for 5 Things That Don’t Suck Right Now! Hop on.
Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.
