(from YOU ARE REMARKABLE)



01. My mother has two scarves hanging in her room.
02. I placed my Watchmen comic next to her GPS thingy.
03. It's quite dark in the room.
04. There are some chocolates on the sewing machine.
05. The picture is lopsided on the wall--the cat must have been playing.
06. My toothpaste isn't straight.
07. My rhino is facing the chalk drawing I did of a tree.
08. My mother has a small booklet entitled "Healing Teas" and I never knew she had it before.
09. The elephant is on the rocking chair.
10. There is a candy cane on the dresser.

...this. Y/Y?



I paid for my lucky packs and now I'm just waiting for my acknowledgment. I was a doofus and waited to pay until after I got home from work, and they were already closed. :[ If I hadn't waited, they might have been able to ship it. So now I have to wait until after the new year. But I will take pictures this time since I have been asked to show off my swag.

I'm watching something on the history channel about Theodore Roosevelt (or the presidents...can't tell) and it's really enjoyable.

I missed TiLT this week since I was busy chillaxing with my bad ass family. Christmas was grand. My swag included two Barry Manilow cds, Watchmen, Battle Royale, some much-needed sleep pants, the BEST cheap truffles I have ever had, and some lotion that I cannot use. A few other things, too LIKE A NINTENDO DS LITE. Now I just have to figure out how to use it. ;-;

♥ From Dumb Little Man, Ten Simple Things We Should All Say More Often

♥ RIP Eartha Kitt. Here's a fab article on her from TIME, and Violet Blue did a cute little tribute to her.

I found my hair dye. :) It's my usual brand, so the purple won't be SUPER VIVID but I prefer a more understated look. I just hope it looks as nice as the red.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra today with Bethy. :)

Ugh. My allergies have been killing me lately. D:




Gawd. I love you guys so much.

From a recent conversation with my mom:

"Well I feel really bad for ____. I mean, she's a really nice girl and she's really great and if I were a lesbian I would totally date her if she were into that." (pause) "Oh, don't look at me like that. You know I would date any of my girlie friends if I was a lesbian. I think that you should only friend people you'd be willing to date in an alternate dimension."

And there you have a general sort of conversation between my mother and me.
