Additionally...

Well, apparently I'm also a stiletto shoe: "You're sexy and flirtatious. People admire your good looks and high self esteem."

I'm also Ecstacy. As in the drug. Hmm.

Last but not least, in the wine category [just to round things out] I'm Cabernet Sauvingnon: "You are bold and you love rich and elegant things, whether it is food or nice clothes you want the best of everything." Pretty much on target. Now, whether or not I get the best of everything...completely different story.

Interesting...

According to Quizilla.com [a site I am now addicted to, thanks to lying in bed sick the entire day with not much else to do], I'm Judy Garland: "You're seen by most as sweet, kind, and innocent. But you're so much more than that. You're a total a star and beautiful girl, as well as extremely wise. You're elegant and full of poise." Well, tell me something I don't know... Although I must say, I think I channel Marilyn Monroe at times, darling.

Update: according to a different quiz, I am Marilyn. Go figure.

Ponder Me This

I've come to realize that very often the one person you think you can count on more than anyone in the world somehow ends up getting more and more distant from you as time goes by. And I'm not liking that fact. And I know I keep elaborating on this same theme, but it's really something thats's been bothering me lately. It's just so hard to become distant from someone you know so much about, right down to the fact that you know they eat around the chocolate chips in cookies because they don't like chocolate but they'll chug chocolate milk like it was the water from the fountain of eternal youth. Or that they never call people, but if someone calls them they'll talk for hours. And I could go on and on, but the point is that so many years of my life were shared with this person and it's so weird to think that they just won't be there for me anymore like they used to. Unless I could maybe put in a bit more effort? Or maybe this is one of those things that I'm supposed to let pass as a natural occurence, like a natural life happening.

Strange occurence today: I felt so inexplicably in control of everything, like this incredible sense of euphoria like I could take over the world and absolutely no one could stop me. And I also felt pretty. No, beautiful, not just pretty. It was kind of cool in a slightly unsettling way.

:-(

What a crappy day.

I realized why I like shopping at Forever 21: it's like a treasure hunt every time I go in! And of course, being that I'm 5 years old most of the time, this, to me, presents endless amounts of fun and countless opportunities for adventure of all sorts...like the "Let's hunt through those hideous fuzzy magenta sweaters to get to the more normal-colored henleys" adventure. Or the "Bypass the weird plaid jumper things to go inspect the gray zip-ups" adventure. My favorite is the "Dig through the ghastly plastic beaded bracelets to reach through to the not-as-tacky bangles." That's always a fun one, especially now that I'm in an accessories mood.

Also, major shout-out to H+M for making affordable, comfortable and surprisingly sexy bras. H+M rocks.

And to really illustrate what a bad mood I was in today [the result of certain events dealing with certain people - ahem, you know who you are!], I had a Frappucino to make myself feel better. And then I had another one because the first one refused to kick in. And then I had a third one because apparently, the second one just wasn't enough. And then I decided that a fourth one probably wasn't the healthiest choice. THREE Frappucino's - and nothing to show for it! Either I'm immune to the awesome power of Starbucks [which I sincerely hope isn't the case because Starbucks basically is the means by which I function each morning], or this truly was a bad day. I'm sure it was the latter.

It's For You

I think it's really funny when people's cell phone ringtones are like little symphony orchestras - you know the ones...so life-like you just want to yell at the strings section that they're a little too loud.

Today I was craving tomato soup but I went all the way across town to get a doughnut instead. It took me an hour which is actually pretty good time, it would have been less if my train hadn't been stuck in the tunnel for 15 minutes. That was actually pretty funny because while we were stopped, everyone was shifting around trying to look but not look at everyone else. 15 minutes is a long time to be on the train in-between stops so there was this almost tangible tension in the car. It was pretty cool to tell the truth.

Valentine's Day tomorrow and sadly, I'm Valentine-less. ::Sniff + Sigh::

7! 3! ...[sigh] 32

I'm laughing so hard.

So I was sick the past couple of weeks and I missed my Advanced Expository Writing class three times in a row. It kind of helps that I hate that class, so I'm not exactly too upset that I missed it, but now I've got so much work to make up [and since it's a writing class, that means I've got three essays to write. I'm thrilled.]. I think I'm going to drop it. Minor little tiny issue - I need to take that class in order to complete my major. I've got a few more years at college though, but I did think I would be able to get this out of the way. Decisions, decisions.

On the other hand, because of the fact that I've been just lying in bed the whole time I've been sick, I've had a whole lot of time to focus on getting out of the country. As in: London this spring! I'm so excited, it's really giving me something to look forward to. I just spoke to my friend in London this past Saturday night and it got me even more excited; it'll be so nice to be able to see her, I haven't seen her since last June.

Brooklyn again this weekend. I hate Brooklyn. But I love my friends. So I'm going anyway.
