Things are better.
Life is returning to normal.
Still doesn’t answer the question of why on earth I felt so devastated, why every bleak and negative thought - which i normally keep in my brain’s attic - suddenly came tumbling down like an avalanche. I guess the roof caved in.
I feel silly about it (and that’s another thing I don’t understand, why do I always feel silly for having genuine emotions?), but it’s a lesson learned. I think.
Words cannot describe how happy I am that soon, I will be a mere few feet away from this man.
Only 95.5 hours left to go.
I almost can’t think about it. It’s too much, almost too hard to believe. Kinda like how I imagine winning the lottery might feel. Never having to worry about money ever again is something we all wish for but never expect. We’ve convinced ourselves it’s not tangible, and so it isn’t.
And here this is, in all its tangibility. I realize I’m making the first mistake right now - setting my expectations sky-high, which (as we all know) results in disappointment 99 percent of the time. Yet another reason why I’ve avoided thinking about it too much.
I plan - or TRY to plan- way too often. Sometimes this is handy. Other times you should just take things as they come at you.
1here i am again!
First I’ve revived my addiction to twitter and now it’s on to tumblr. Isn’t that lovely?
It’s my attempt to let the people I like know more about my day than what 140 characters can give. It’s also for me, of course. Ever since I’ve gotten back into reading I am convinced that reading (and writing) make better people.
Maybe not better…but more intelligent, at least.
Every couple months or so, I watch the Kill Bill movies. I think Kill Bill, especially Vol.1, is the best American action movie made in the past decade, hands down. It’s funny, I love Beatrix Kiddo so much, but there’s nothing inherently good about her character. She doesn’t help anyone in the movies, and is a blatant cold-blooded killer. But, Uma Thurman plays this role so damn well and the dialogue is so perfect that I can’t help but love her. And the music is amazing. Most of all, I love fight scene choreography and this movie takes the cake in that regard.
I have never, ever, watched the Crazy 88’s scene without getting cold chills. These movies are perfect. I want to be Beatrix Kiddo. Well, sort of. She’s so fucking cool and interesting. 大好きです！
i need to stop surrounding myself with dysfunctional friends.
i’ve gotten a lot better about it. lately i feel i’ve been blessed to come upon some friends who truly are great people, friends who treat me like a human being. but it seems the dysfunctional ones (i.e. the ones who only talk to me when it’s convenient for them) are the ones i pay the most attention to. it’s like i’m hoping to become this superhero-esque, shining beacon who swoops in to save them from their own shitty lives. I’d like to say the reasons for this are purely unselfish, but i’m afraid this isn’t the case. it always backfires, of course. i’m never a shining beacon so much as an emotional dishrag.
but then, don’t we all have at least one friend like that? They’re kinda hard to avoid. What matters is the extent to which we choose to let those toxic friends poison our lives. i’m a lot better about telling them to fuck off, but there’s still a select few that I can’t seem to shake.
but it’s ok, because right now the number of good friends in my life far outweighs the number of bad ones. and really, this is the first time in my life i’ve been able to say that.
damn you, insomnia. damn you for making me think this much at 3am.
OMG GUYS. I’ve been trying to submit designs to Threadless for forever and they FINALLY accepted one of my designs for scoring!
Now I need your help, for serious. Go vote for my design by checking both “I’d buy it” boxes as well as giving me a 5. (Even if you think the design sucks…be a friend and give me an awesome score anyway. ha)
If it gets enough votes, i get my design printed and get 2500 smackers. in which case…I WOULD LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER
(ok i already love you guys, but you know what i mean)

GO GO GO GO GO GO
*edit: surprise surprise, the link isn’t showing up…so i’m making another post right now with the link.
ceciliajane asked: So, I looked up current prices for a ticket here, and you'd atleast pay about $1350 or so round trip...which is a lot. But, whore yourself out or something! You'd love it and it'd be a crazy adventure! for serious.
i’m trying to do some freelance art stuff that i’m hoping will get me rich. haha. i seriously am trying my ass off to get some income though. but even if i can’t come with you this time around, we will go together at some point - that I know. Plus, when you get home, you, me, mumsy and kevin will go to chicago/seattle! so that’s something.
that’s what she said.
edit: i have no idea why my photos aren’t showing up…but i don’t like it. >:O
