hmm. who is this person?

No posts in two months, and then an outfit pops up??

Well, I've been experimenting with this addicting site, polyvore.com. [aka I have something due.]

I've come to the realization I never should have worked at a clothing store. It's dangerous.

So, the outfit below - that's an attempt at college teaching casual.

Don't be surprised if more outfits pop up. I apologize to all those who are normal, and not developed an unnatural affinity for clothing.

I'M DONE

I am now free to clean the house, which has fallen into a state of complete and utter ickiness.

Just one example of end of school pathetic-ness includes a pile of dishes that are easily done, but also conveniently avoided through eating out.

Or garbage cans that have gone without liners, so there are makeshift garbage bags (read: grocery sacks) scattered about the house.

Oh, and maybe I'll plant the flat of pansies I purchased before Thanksgiving. Good thing it rains fairly regularly here. heh.

And though I vowed to get the Christmas music going, I haven't,  but with a clean house, I can pull out my tack silver Christmas tree, and maybe sew, and all those good things that get put off during the semester. woo.

Oh, and I'll probably resume my regular schedule of posting.

Don't be too sad. :)

i left you hanging

Okay, not really.

But I wanted to thank you all for your support during this paper writing period. I only have one more left - an 8-10 pager (read, 8 with lots of quotes) about a book I read.

About the big paper, well, that was only about ten, no 11 hours late. I think I sent it in at 10:40am.

I wish oh how I wish I was coherent enough that I had saved some of the gibberish I wrote in the wee hours this morning. I had finished the last of the sin juice, and was really having a hard time staying awake. I think I've inherited my grandma's head bob action. I'll take it, though, if it means I won't go gray. Anyhoo, I had already edited the paper (you know, with a pen and paper!), and just needed to put the edits in on the computer.

I would be working on a section, and then the next thing I new I had been asleep.

The scary thing is, I thought I had entered all my edits (this was after a short nap so I was a bit more lucid) but decided to do a quick edit scan. Oh man, I had forgotten an entire section - no, it was worse than that. I had drowsy edited an entire section. I have a memory of the word Kulliku or something - capitalized and everything. It took me a good minute or two before I realized it was a nonsense word (there were others, too) and needed to be removed. woo-eee.

So I've learned, Friends don't let friends edit drowsy.

try saying 'numb bum' five times fast

It's definitely time to change where I write from, as I have the loathed 'numb bum,' acquired from sitting in one location for too long. And my poor eyebrows have grown considerably sparser as time grows shorter.

You can tell it's paper writing time, because I've updated my blog more times in twenty-four hours than I have this entire semester.

I just thought you all would want an update.

There are approximately four hours left. It'll be rough, but I think (hope!) I can do it. There are about five more pages of writing to do. Eww. That sounds like a lot.

I've consumer 3/4 of the two liters of sin juice, half a box of hohos, an order of crazy bread, and I somehow thought I'd need two pizzas from Little Caesars. ugh. I was definitely wrong about that. Oh well, leftovers, no?
