I’ve been away, emptying real ink into real journals, but I felt like this belonged here.
At first it was just a burst of freedom that I didn’t even know I had been wanting. Everything was so new and fast and I lapped it all up voraciously. I felt wanted, as a woman, as a commodity, [...]

After toting around my Genetics textbook everywhere for the last week, I’ve finally really started reading and studying. It’s going terribly slow as the material is dense and not very interesting to me. I’m trying to push all those negative “why do I need to know this” type questions out of my mind because it [...]
it’s not over yet

It’s been a long day and I ended up distracting myself on the internet for most of the very little naptime I could afford.
I hate it when I have to get up early and I go to bed thinking I have to fall asleep right away to get the maximum amount of sleep possible, and [...]
let the right one in

It’s good to have some quality movies back in my life. Tonight was a bit of girls’ night out for me and my roommate. I borrowed the car and drove us to Sunset Strip to watch Let the Right One In, a Swedish film depicting the relationship between a bullied boy and a vampire girl [...]
happy halloween

I probably should’ve known that my method of cooking Chinese-y meals (aka throw everything in the wok and guestimate the rest) has less than satisfactory results when applied to baking. I tried to make chocolate cupcakes with cocoa buttercream frosting but the topping was all together too runny. Baking is especially difficult in a very [...]

Something has been on my mind recently. It’s more of a feeling, a memory, more than anything else. It just keeps replaying over and over in my head. It’s distracting, but not entirely unpleasant. It’s like a mosquito bump: I know it will go away if I just leave it alone, but it feels so [...]
“You are too irrisistable.”

My limbs ache from dancing in heels. Even though I only stayed at the party until 12:30am, it took it’s toll on these legs that haven’t been to the gym since…well, it’s been a long time. It was a good party though. The Vegas theme didn’t really come through (hey slutty girls, Playboy bunnies are [...]
extra ordinary

Earlier, I started a post because I was in the mood to write something, for once, but couldn’t really think of any content. Which is kind of pointless anyway since this blog was never big on the content. I got sidetracked and started reading Mattan’s blog that I found via Teresa. I’ve only read a [...]

I’m so glad I have a premade “angry” playlist. There’s nothing more infuriating than having to remember and search for a song with fierce vocals and a heavy bassline when you can’t think straight. It’s aptly named “I Feel Statements”, which, for those of you who haven’t taken any counseling classes, is a strategy you [...]
finishing what i started
Posted in Life, tagged books, relationships on September 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I used to read rather fervently, staying up late to finish novels in bed. Then, for years, I read nothing at all, barely sparknoting classics for class. And now I am starting to read again, but I keep jumping around. All of a sudden I have a huge booklist of reads and I’m feeling confused [...]
