Unfollowing people who constantly post “pretty” pictures that reinforce gender roles I don’t believe in and standards of beauty I don’t agree with was the best thing I did today, after mowing the lawn. Sad, isn’t it?

I'm back.
After a four month hiatus I was considering abandoning my tumblr but then I looked at it again and realized that it’s not even that difficult to keep up so I might as well do it. Especially now that I have absolutely nothing to do, ever.
Dakar was great, I wished I could have stayed there longer and done more travelling on my own but at the same time I was really looking forward to coming...

Holy Moly
Done with the two hard finals. Found out I got a B+ on a paper I wrote in an hour and under the influence of extreme exhaustion. I’ve also spent so much time in the sun in the past two days that the front of my legs are ever-so-slightly burned. Packing has begun (i.e., crap is scattered all over my room). AND, I found out who my host family will be! I’m living with a grandma, her son,...
So beautiful. Really excited for the album.

Memoryhouse - Bonfire
I’ve been listening to a lot of Memoryhouse lately, coinciding with the beginnings of spring here in Wisconsin. Well, not so much the beginnings of spring as much as the departure of winter. In any case, I’m really craving warm weather. Shorts weather. T-shirt weather. Weather where you can do things outside at night time in two layers or less. It’s weird...

8th Week Burnout
Why are my textbooks taking so long to get here? Yeah, I didn’t order them till like two weeks ago. I’m using their absence as an excuse to just not do any reading, even though there are copies on reserve at the library. Bleh. Also I skipped class today for the third or fourth time this term. Euhhhhhnotgood.
Two and a half weeks of class left. Then some finals-things. Then a possible...
Watching this movie with the right people can be incredibly uplifting

-----Negativity suuuuuuucks-----
I’ve got a 900 worder to poop out by noon Friday. My backpack is a total crapsack which I’ve been meaning to organize for the past all-of-this-term. My room is a mess. I have deep issues on my mind. I’m not at all prepared for class tomorrow morning, nor have I figured out my insurance stuff for the immunizations I’m getting tomorrow. Then I’m gathering food waste in...
Never eat:
poop
a PB&J sandwich covered in pancake batter then deep-fried, with powdered sugar and syrup (and a side of tater tots)
You may/may not regret it.
Cheers!

Here’s cheers to a wonderful new year, friend!

Making Mexican Hot Chocolate with Soy Milk.
Ah, such a life!
AY CHIHUAHUA!
Interacting with other humans causes me a lot of stress. Within the past 48 hours, it has caused me a buttload of stress, probably more than necessary. I’ve been stressing about where some friendships are going. Should I be trying to preserve them, or should I just let them take their course? I don’t want to try to recreate something from the past when everything has changed, but I...

The 2kteens
Is anybody else as excited as I am for this new decade? It’s gonna be “teen” times better (haha) than the 00’s, which were kind of a let-down, yeah? We got off to a rocky start with this millennium, but I think the next ten years are where we get back on track. It’s gonna be fun.
Apology
I’m sorry, I’ve been getting lazy and letting way too many spelling and/or grammar mistakes show up in my posts. Please forgive me. I’m going to do my best to put an end to that. Thanks for understanding.
Yumm

Mexican hot chocolate was something my great-grandmother really liked, or so I’m told; I only met her a few times and her health was already not so good. But for some reason, we have a box of the Ibarra...

I’m going to one of the highest mountains in Santa Barbara County in hopes of finding snow. Probably in vain, but I suppose the journey is what really counts, huh?
Whine session
Today is pathetic. I have a ton of things I want to do but no one is in town to do them with.
I might be forced to do something crazy like make a full-on Native American headdress out of construction paper and go for a bike ride in it. Naked.
The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed.
