wedding advice, life advice

from a wise woman i met recently

I drank a bottle of Jack Daniels by myself. (personal safety tip - dont do that at your wedding)...take the money weddings are over rated.

Embrace life - make it yours and remember what you thought an adult was when you were 14 and what you said you would do and do some of it - not all of it, but most of it.

blood apnea

last night i rolled over on my left arm in my sleep, which was mostly hanging off the bed. i woke up and it had been so compressed that it felt like it had completely separated from my body. it had no sensation. i couldn't move it to get it back on the bed, and had to grab the arm with my right hand. my right hand felt the grab, but my left arm did not feel the grab. in my hand a heavy, cold thing.

oh fuck me i was making dinner and inexplicably pressed the back of my pinky against the knife and now i'm bleeding. i don't think any of my kitchen episodes ever end without bloodshed.

ebar

at nordstrom's eBar yesterday, my mom was telling me about how, when i used to throw tantrums in the car when i was very little, three or so, she would pull over on the side of the road and tell me to get out of the car.

i would cry and grab onto anything in the car with fists. she said she would pry my hands free and i would grab onto something else and scream. she says, in retrospect, she doesn't know what she would have done if i'd actually gotten out of the car and run.

i arrived at my last class early so that i could find an inconspicuous seat and not be called on to present the presentation i didn't prepare. however, when i walked in the door, the way every seat was filled and the way everyone turned and looked at me and how the instructor stopped talking definitely signified that i was actually an hour late.

done it some

today will be a day of accomplishment, but not of accomplishing important tasks, but of little things that don't actually matter. predicted.

the aftermath

the day(s) after my birthday, all normal things have resumed. i get out of bed. i go to school. i reply to my electric mails. i continue to eat things that will make me fat.

i like this

the plan

today i am going to do whatever i want. get back into bed. ignore phone calls. eat things that will make me fat.

home life

when my dad saw that i had bought flour to make my cake, he told me we already have flour in the freezer. i told him i can't use that flour because mom says there's bugs in it. my dad said the bugs are dead and you can just strain them out. i told him i don't want bugs in my cake. my dad said there won't be bugs if you pick them out. i made a face, my mom fumed.
