happy belated new year, everyone. thanks for reading.

happy holidays, all.

 bit of detail...

so...was santa good to you all? i'm waiting on my real christmas presents: my final grades for the semester. apparently my professors saw fit to enjoy the holiday before submitting our evaluations, despite there being a deadline of the 23rd...awesome. so now, i'm having trouble sleeping. no seriously, nightmares about failing all my classes and having to repeat them.

in the meantime, the boy got me some of the disney movies since i haven't seen most of them. it was a sweet, thoughtful gift, but i REALLY wanted to have those no.6 boots (i'm actually now considering 2 pairs 0_0). with all the expenses that came up this semester, i wasn't able to save as much as i wanted to (ahem, none). but will see how the saving goes for the new year. been working my butt off since school let out. hoping to keep racking up hours until i have to go back. aaaaaanyhoo, what are you all planning for new years? anyone in new york want to invite me out...?

Talking Points

Not sure how man pins it took to secure my hair in this way, but I know it's unlikely that I'll be able to recover them all. These were the preliminary stages:


Went out today for ice cream as an excuse to enjoy the sunshine; finally warm enough to venture out onto the streets voluntarily. Even managed to doff the parka.

Today is my brother's acting debut! Unable to make it, but still proud, I'm also suffering from a lackluster opinion of his current...lifestyle. Trying to be supportive and a good sister, but it does truly frustrate me.

Tests went alright last week. Not as superb as I'd hoped to do, but overshot the class average by quite a bit; I suppose that's enough for now. Tons of work to get back to but hoping to get out tomorrow for a bit again.

Also been idly flipping through the style.com pages to see the shows; in LOVE with Haider Ackermann, a brand I've not been exposed to much. The whole thing just makes me want to dress better. Becoming bored with my closet, but it's a process, I realize. Anyway, here's today:


stomped through some mud by accident...managed not to sink though.

FEATURED TODAY: BANANA!

whoever thought i'd wear all white...such a leap for me. :)

oh, and i'm no longer in love with drake. heard some craptastic song of his on the radio and lost heart. my fickle heart found consolation in this:


been feeling like shit warmed over all week. a bit of sleep and some pleasant company have cheered me up. hoping to ride this out through the weekend. happy friday!

spent friday night procrastinating. went out for drinks at angel's share and then to PDT. i'm a drink snob; so shoot me. for the first time, i was kind of bummed that angel's share had a 4 person limit. i had exactly 6 persons in my party. lame. anyway, i blew a couple hundred dollars that i did not have, but that's what youth is for, no? to scrape your pennies together and crawl home at dawn with an epic tale to tell? well, perhaps not. i should've probably studied. still totally worth it, lol.


also came across this image here...i love it. might try it tomorrow.
happy the weekend is over?? are we all rested and prepared for the week? (no)

cityscapes and milkshakes

early evening burger run. wholly unsatisfied, but fed. back to the books.

coming off of a 2 day migraine...wtf? trying to take better care of my body starting this weekend (i know, i know...again. but i'm serious this time!). did some new thing to my face last night because of the dry air in the apartment and on the street and it feels INCREDIBLE today. going to see if it continues to work. considering taking up spinning class to get my energy up (and pass out afterward, so maybe i can get some sleep).
met a girl yesterday with whom i had class a few years back and she asked me, 'SO HOW'S YOUR NARCOLEPSY?'
umm...what?
apparently it was 'common knowledge' that i was narcoleptic. lol. when in fact, i had insomnia. why do these things happen to me. now i'm wondering how MANY people had been thinking this. simply awful.

OH, AND I HAVE A BUN! I HAVE ENOUGH HAIR FOR A BUN! going to do a hair retrospective. this is big news!

big plans for the weekend?
