i’ve been awake since before five am. i made a list of everything i have to do before i move, and it made me feel better for about ten seconds, but now my heart is pounding. it’s not even that much, & i’ve divided it into days, so that i know what i’m doing every [...]

when it’s cold, my car wants more gas. like, a lot more gas. it’s kind of annoying, actually. i watched the inauguration today. it didn’t make me cry. it didn’t even make me feel very hopeful or uplifted. i still don’t have health insurance or a job; i still have a lot of student loans; [...]
i hate knitting sleeves. this is the first sleeve of the raglan sweater that i’m knitting. i am determined to get through the end of this sleeve and the beginning of the next sleeve by the end of today, though. i feel really crappy. i have terrible cramps, and i don’t want to eat anything. [...]
this is my current playlist. it’s brand new, from only a day or two ago. it’s called “you start me up just like dexedrine” even though most of the songs aren’t really peppy. brunch with annie today was lovely. we lingered for almost two hours, which was really rude of us since the line was [...]

ah, variegated yarn. i do not understand what people like about variegated yarn. i am knitting up a pair of wristwarmers in this variegated yarn, and finding that… it looks like puke. fall out boy is touring with cobra starship and metro station. that is way too much awesome for me to handle. i’m pretty [...]

okay. i actually think that despite freaking out about everything, i am almost finished packing. i have left all of the furniture (which will hopefully be picked up/disposed of in the next week), and my knitting, and the kitchen. then i have to go over everything with a damp sponge and i am FINISHED. i [...]

when i cleaned all my clothing off the rocking chair, i found this housedress that i bought back at the beginning of last year. i bought it because it looked comfortable, and also had pockets, and also is blue checks! how adorable is that? it is, in fact, super comfortable. i have mostly finished packing [...]
five people in the last three days have commented on my star wars t-shirt. that’s right, i’ve been wearing the same shirt for three days. it might be four at this point, i haven’t actually be counting. finally i am getting rid of stuff thanks to freecycle. the people on it are incredibly flaky, though.
