OF SWELLING LIKE PUFFER FISH, ENDLESS ESSAYS, AND CHOKING UNDER PRESSURE.

Since Saturday morning, I've been undergoing an allergic reaction of some sort and it's annoying as fuck. I hit up the clinic the other day. I walked away with a paper bag filled with all sorts of medicine & pills, all of which just lasted me a day and a half. And I'm still grouchy as shit.

FFFFOUND!

WASTED TO THE DISCO BEAT

i'm trying not to abandon this blog again. i need to gain some high hopes. in the meantime:

dada life- happy hands & happy feet

enjoy.

Let's Talk

What have I been doing?

01. celebrating my birthday.
best day ever. food, all of my closest friends from all over the east coast, shots and everything else. absolutely perfect.
02. looking up recipes.
recently, i've had an obsession with looking at food websites, blogs, tv shows, and books. i've gotten real into cooking, since i've been away at school, and it's great. tonight for dinner, i'm making my parents a real treat: tilapia with pumpkin seed salsa, whole wheat pasta with asparagus and tahini, and to top it off, sweet mango with yogurt and honey. mm.
03. convinced my parents to search our geneology.
i've been doing my research. so far, i'm pretty sure my family comes from the susquehanna/cherokee tribe, but i'm out on a mission to make that guess more concrete.
04. watching the news,
news programs, and other pointless yet equally addicting tv shows like from g's to gents, bruce springsteen and the e-street band in concert, and iron chef america.
05. thinking about how much homework i have to do.
i have to finish two take home exams (three essays each). the day i return back to school, i have two other midterms. great.

back in the game

it's the first week of February, and i walk outside in short sleeved shirts.
my apartment gets dirty effortlessly; in result i raided the dollar store of every cleaning supply possible. after class, this place "is gonna shine like the top of the Chrysler building!"
currently: time to read 12th century French literature and fix my life.

move, stop, repeat

late of the pier: the bears are coming! (original)

i have my first test on tuesday, so i've been enjoying music all night and pretending i don't see my textbook out of the corner of my eye. syke, i managed to take a few more notes and take pre and post-tests online.
my bed has been destroyed, no sheets or pillowcases and to be honest, i wouldn't have noticed if my mom didn't bring up how disgraceful it was to sleep like this. as of right now, i have 23 dollars to my name so who's tryna get nuts!? :(
this month will be pretty busy. i'm spending next weekend with kat and we're going to new york city to see santogold preform. we're meeting up with a bunch of heads from school so i'm stoked on it. the next weekend i'm going down to philly to see MGMT's sold out show. !!!
i spent most of last night, until around 4am hugging the toilet seat so it was a pretty good night. dare i say my tolerance of substances has gone down, and i'm kind of bummed. it will be back in due time, trust.

my mom and i have demo'd my house; we bought new carpets, stripped and painted the bathroom walls, and are waiting for the new fridge to arrive. she bought, seriously, like 15 gallons of paint but we're not sure exactly what we're going to paint yet. we're changing our kitchen door also, into one that is painted with chalkboard paint. it's going to be pretty phat.

as i hoped and suspected, the class is slowly taking away my boredom and is making time go by much faster. to my relief, july is almost over meaning august is right around the corner.
p.s. the mozzarella/tomato/pesto sandwiches at starbucks are suprisingly delicious. for $5.99 you can taste just what i'm talking about, which i guess may be kind of expensive, but worth it to me. of course, i may have just been starving (which i'm sure i was).

peace and psychopathology, see ya.

whatever.

bat for lashes: what's a girl to do?

i spent all of last week with serj, between his place and the beach. i had a real fun time, eating pizza every night although now that a few days have past i feel pretty rank. what a drag.
my dad and i have been watching the beatles anthology movies which are sweet. we've only got two more left, then i guess we need to find another series to watch.
today, i surprisingly ate two more slices of pizza, watched two chapters from the anthology and bought some articles of clothing; they're ok. a pair of awkward white pants and a pair of pink, orange, and teal keds are my two favorite finds.

i haven't read at all! (i start class on monday, boo).

i love writing and recieving letters; tonight i may have written my favorite letter to date. i hope kat can understand it because, after all, if it's not bizarre it doesn't have my signature on it.
i love it, i love it, i love it.
i've been adding more and more music to my itunes library without listening to it all; i need to catch up on that.

here, here and cheers to that.
