Instead of gas money, my friends pay me in junk...
What does this say about my life?
amantes-amentes:
I think my favourite thing about Tumblr is that it has alerted me to how much of a privileged asshole I am and how to recognize it and how to try to understand the plight of others and do everything I can to work against it.
It’s not just about pretty pictures and porn.
I have learned so much and I am very happy I have.
Thanks, Tumblies.
RIGHT?
Thank God for you, tumblr,...

Same problem with the Kindle except now I’m reading AND being on the interwebz too much
I sense that this is going to turn into too much of a good thing really quick.
saringle replied to your post: The problem with getting a Nook for Christmas is that I can get books TOO easily.
Yeah the Nook App is killing me. I’ve already read two books
Me too! Jesus, I need to start pacing myself, or I’m going to go broke by the time I’m back at school.
It’ll be better once I have a) people other than my family to interact with, b) time alone without...
The problem with getting a Nook for Christmas is...
Finished the first book of the Beka Cooper books and bought the second, though I’m being stern and making myself wait until the drive home tomorrow to start it.
God, I’ve missed reading. The past few days have been like bathing in lovely warm words. I do think the terrible positions I always choose to read in may explain my headache, however.
So, internet, you have me whilst I...
Oi. Too many people all the time.
I’m getting all snappish and irritable. Too much constant exposure to the familial units. Hiding away in my room to read now.
Finally deposited some money into my account!
Which means it’s time to buy nerdy history books on mah nook!
Awwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeah. A dollar for a history of the Knights Templars? OF COURSE.
I also made her arch-nemesis.
I figure she’s a dumbass, and probably the “good” one but she’s petty and annoying. I hate her.

my cats are named after that book
lol yeah I finally get the joke. Very appropriate. You’ll have to teach me how to say Aziraphale’s name sometime.

Someone's bored.
It might be me.
Today I:
read the entirety of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (it is about the Apocalypse and it is vurr funneh)
fell asleep on the couch
ate a lot
It was pretty wonderful.
Also, did I mention that philosophy boy texted me on Christmas? Because he did, and since I’m looking for signs I assume that’s a big ‘un.
Whoops, overdrafted my account.
Yikes.
Merry Christmas?
Bah. I think I am developing a cold.
Also my period came.
Bah.
Oh well. I’m actually genuinely grateful. Sometimes I surprise myself with how much I mean that. A few days of Grandma’s cooking, a baby grand in the living room, and some solid sleep helps things look a bit brighter.
Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, Happy Everything Else if you don’t. I’ll see you guys in a few days!

I know like I keep having to break away from graduate applications to give myself a pep talk that I don’t suck that bad. Surely SOMEBODY has to accept me?!
Right?? Dumber people than me get into grad school and internships all the time! RECOGNIZE MY POTENTIAL, DAMMIT.

Duuude that’s pretty much me with my graduate school applications
Oh my God it’s like I’m stabbing my self-confidence in the face with a rusty spoon. Like I’m pretty smart and I’m a hard worker and I love history and art history and museums and all of these things mean I...
turtlesstampede replied to your chat: Christmastime Adventures with the Fam
One time my cousin got married and had a baby and nobody told me.
See, my parents will tell me about cousins I didn’t know existed having babies and I’m like “…cool?”
Also that one time my family forgot to tell me that we had cousins still in Monte di Procida for twenty years. SO THAT...

Pop-pop: Wait, what are you taking the butter away for?
Grandma: Well what do you need it for?
Nick: The panettone!
Pop-pop: Well we need it for something.

I will not get these internships in a million years.
WELP.
OMG guys even the rear seats are heated in this...
Jesus Christ this is going to be the best car nap ever.

Well, last minute recommendation requests sent...
I fail so hard. I’ve been looking at these internships for a month and I just never emailed my professors. Hopefully they shall take pity upon me. At any rate I figured I shouldn’t let my fears that they’d say no stop me from applying completely. Hopefully I haven’t screwed up my chances too badly.
Christmastime Adventures with the Fam
Me: Mom! Why didn't you tell me that I have a cousin named Hadrian?
Mom: Second cousin.
Me: Whatever! I'm related to someone named Hadrian!
Mom: ...yes?
Hmmmmmm
Mathilda is curled up under the covers with me. Clearly I am not going to fall back asleep. I don’t want to get up but I’m a bit bored. I should unpack/do laundry today. And practice Christmas songs on the piano…

Guys, it's difficult for me to explain how happy I...
I just.
Have time.
To sleep.
And read.
And write.
And not have a panic attack every day.
The only problem is that I have like $10 in my bank account.
But I’m home so I don’t have to buy things and even when I do my parents will usually pay for them and also I’ll probably get money for Christmas.
I’m going to sleep.
pinkyheadstoparis replied to your post: It’s time to play the What Did Steph Forget This Year game.
Phone charger?
Nope!
I almost forgot my medication and had to write MEDICINE on my hand in the middle of my exam so I wouldn’t forget.
And then I nearly forgot my toothbrush.
I can’t wait to unpack tomorrow and see what’s missing.

– Chief Justice Marshall in Fletcher v. Peck, according to my class notes
Want to sleep.
Too busy staring at my suitcase, wondering what I’ve forgotten.
Still need to clean the kitchen so we don’t get more mice.
amantes-amentes replied to your photo: So packing’s going really well.
This is so very you. I hope you are well. CHRISTMAS IS COMING.
SO VERY ME.
This is the only way I know how to pack, much to my mother’s chagrin.
It doesn’t help that I’ve decided to take my smaller suitcase and half of it is taken up by presents. CURSES. I have had to supplement with a duffel, which now...
