Mishaps and Bubble Wrap

Instead of putting on sweatpants over their shorts like most people are prone to do when they're cold, I put on knee socks.

It actually worked really well. And I was warm for the rest of last night, so it was probably one of the best ideas of the night. Yay, knee socks!

It really does look like that mauve Christmas tree my mom had in the 90s....

Actually, no! It looks kind of like one of the rooms in the Palace of Versailles!

Oh my goodness, Louis XIV temporarily came back from the dead to re-decorate my sig. It all makes sense now.

Though, I didn't know he was bff with Nocturn. Then again, those French kings were a bit out there sometimes, and I'm sure that at one point or another, Nocturn would have been a valuable ally in some of those wars Louis fought....though, being a king does not mean skimping on grammar and forgetting to capitalize the h in "hail" and leaving out the period.

Then again, I suppose when you've been dead for nearly 300 years, you're bound to forget a bit about grammar.

I dreamt last night that for whatever reason, my phone number was given to every member on BZP and I was constantly getting flooded with calls that were all "FIX THE SERVER NOW, PLEASE", and while I appreciated these people asking so politely (albeit in a very loud and caps lock'd manner), I was like "uhhhhhh, I think you should be talking to Bink....or Black Six....or someone that is not me...."

Then, while wandering my universities' campus trying to answer all of these calls, I went back to my dorm, only to find that ChocolateFrogs had shown up with a few friends and decided to decorate every hall with massive amounts Dr. Who stuff. So, I went to my room and my roommates were standing there looking at our newly decorated door (mainly covered in hundreds of papers saying "DR. WHO IS ______" and were like "ok, so this guy came by and he was decorating the hall, and he kind of wanted to decorate inside the dorm as well because he claimed it would be a "great surprise", but we talked him out of it. Do you know him or anything?" I just looked at them in slight confusion and awkwardness, and then saw Ben out of the corner of my eye running down the hall towards the second floor, cackling madly while brandishing fistfuls of paper streamers.

And, in ALL of this, it never occurred to me just just turn off my phone.

Dr. Who is not a mosaic! Or maybe he is! I don't know! But in the mean time, check out this mosaic idea!

Aka, Stefani Germanotta.

You should have stayed as you were, because holy goodness, the two songs that you wrote and sang for NYU's talent show a few years back are AMAZING. As much as I like to sing along to Just Dance and Poker Face while working on my homework, the fact that you can sing and play piano extraordinarily well, and write amazing songs are not talents that you see in people everyday.

In other words, as cool as your origami dress, bubble dress, and that glittery glass mask thing you wore in Poker Face might be, you were such an amazing musician before that. And, you were super pretty already! You didn't need to go and paint a lighting bolt on your face (besides, Harry Potter beat you to that one anyway, and his is permanent). Your EP, Red and Blue? Awesome. More stuff like that and the two songs from the NYU show, in the future, perhaps, please?

In other news, I have a paper rough draft due at midnight. Don't be like Nukaya kids, and accidentally procrastinate on one paper in order to get another paper finished. And, my scholarship for track got randomly upped to $1,000 a year, which I am so happy about, so a massive thank you to my coaches. Evidently I did something right during the meets and practices in the past year.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

AVADA KEDAVRA!

Ah, dang it!

Wearing one makes me feel a bit like Galen Rupp.

I kind of want to go running now.

In other news, I've had two 14 hour work days in a row and a couple of 8-12 hour work days prior to that as extra help at Edible Arrangements. Even though the extra money will be awesome (paying off BrickFair!!!), everything hurts and I'm paying the price for it via sore throat and stuffed up nose. Woo hoo!

Instead of an entry consisting of me screaming with utter frustration due to my lack of focus for getting my homework and midterms completed, here are two pictures of a bunny in a shoe:





I want to hug it and hide it in a coat pocket so I can take it to class.

Three random images from my computer:






Gonna go to sleep. It has been an odd day.

Why pomegranates are amazing:

1. They have pretty colours.

2. They taste awesome and are good for you.

3. If you're not very good at getting the seeds out of it like I am, they kind of explode and the juice goes everywhere and it leaves you and your kitchen looking like you've been in a fight.
