(to be fair, there were some nice ceramics and a throughly 'fetching' dog painting, but mostly it was this.)

i left my swipecards at home this morning, so i had to call my boyfriend at 6.30 and get him to walk into town and give them to me. i felt like a dick and also i was running late and had a lecture straight after work, so i was flipping out. i ran back downtown and basically did all of my work really quick and ran between the different sites, so that i ended up finishing ahead of schedule and also completely elated from endorphines or something. which lasted all day. i should go for a run every morning, it might make me a more agreeable person.

the problem with dailymakeover is that i can't publish these 'looks' in such a way that other users can try them on.
the problem with pokemon platinum is the presence of three ghost-themed events in a relatively short space of gameplay. ghost pokemon fuck me off.
the problem with donna tartt is nothing, not to me anyway. she is the finest bitch who ever walked

hi i'm a university student i wear jeans a size too small with a really ugly wash and i go on twitter in my lectures and talk about how sexieee and famouse our film101 lecturer is and then i write dan savage quotes in the ladies' room and sometimes if i'm feeling daring i even write "VEGANS FUCK BETTER" and then i go back to the halls that my parents pay for me to live in and eat the food included in the costs and complain about it even though i have gained 10kg over the last semester so it can't be that bad, and i walk really slowly and congest all the hallways like cholesterol, and i give the stinkeye to everyone who isn't just liek meeeeeeeee

despite having outgrown the harry potter franchise about halfway through the last book, i still have as much of an emotional investment in neville as anyone else. apparently he's hawt now, which seems appropriate. i liked his old teeth though.

1. demi lovato "skyscraper" video
2. diane von furstenburg on ANTM telling a girl to "continue being undefinable" but also extend her neck a little more

4. not having any friends and being a loser

finished another run of my zine for auckland zinefest this weekend, this weekend, this weekend. each page is hand drawn and painted. the faces have distorted from perpetual reproduction, just as they have changed in real life or degraded in my memory. an exercise in artistic intimacy/torture. 5 bucks each.

this morning i got really paranoid that the crotch rip in my work pants was visible, because i usually wear black tights underneath but today i forgot to, so there was a chance of thigh visibility. i tried to mostly keep my back to walls which was pretty awkward. it is a tradition in my family that you never fix anything properly, hence my old glasses had a lot of tape on them. now my pants have a safety pin in them.

p.s. i keep getting new followers despite only posting gross/vapid dreck but i can't see them. f. u. blogger i want my false sense of achievement
