Transiberian Orchestra tomorrow, and in a couple hours, long overdue Rach and Kirsti time. Until then: wallowing in cable knit, with Arrested Development on. I often wish things would do themselves, but I guess you either grocery shop or drink coffee until you aren’t hungry. Guess which one this girl is doing right now.

You know how you know someone has no life? When you haven’t been friends or conversed with them in more than two years, and they are still lurking around your internet accounts and then posting tweets about them. Ohhh, honey. It’s sad that you don’t have better ways to spend your time, but maybe it’s time to let go of things that happened three years ago, and really had no...

I am ultra antsy and have been stuck inside all day. M has been sick, so he’s been couch-bound and I’ve been meandering around the house. Twice I went to go outside, realized it was pouring and I didn’t have an umbrella, and went back in. I haven’t really accomplished much. Did some dishes, baked some cookies, wasted countless hours online doing I don’t even know...

This girl who I have a long history of “not liking each other” with and this ex I passionately don’t like are dating. And at first I was like, gross! But then I was like, awesome!

Happy trails to ‘em both.

Update.
Revamped the old layout, by which I mean, I don’t know how to make my own, SO I found a new one online. Which I like. And I changed the title.
I’m considering changing my URL too, but I have had this guy for five years. So I’m pathetically attached to this little section of cyberspace I’ve called mine.
Stay the same? Change? (probably to the title of the blog, “Half...
