welcome to my life...

wow.

So I've been working down my wardrobe. I went from 9 hats down to 2. I was so proud of myself! My two favorite hats, one that i got from a some hippie in haight-ashbury in san francisco, which reminds me of that trip... a trip that literally changed my life, and the other made for me by an ex-girlfriend/best friend. I was super proud of myself for limiting myself to this. Goodbye orange trucker hat, #1 grandpa hat, black beanie, green beanie, and others. Then today happened. Roommate was looking through his hats and said "I love this hat, it's one of my favorites, but it doesn't fit me right, so I thought you might like it". I've always been jealous of this hat... ALWAYS!! even when i saw him in it last year, I thought to myself, I should get a hat like that...




So I took it.....
I feel somewhat bad...
I mean this is exactly the opposite of what I was doing...
and I can't bring myself to replace one of my hats with this one....
So I now have 3 hats..

151 things...

wow... only 151 things, I was surprised when i first noticed the number. When i first made my list I only had 47 things, but then i realized i was being a little too nice to myself (things with pages, probably isn't that great of a category item, neither is mugs or "art"). I am letting some things slide, like things i will throw away at the end of the year, and i'm not sure if text books should count under books, school supplies or another category. I also haven't gone through my clothes, or whatever items might be underneath all the clothes... I still have quite the journey ahead of me I suppose.

100 things...

Today I made the final decision to do something I've though about for quite some time. Today I started the 100 thing challenge. I'm officially starting the process to limit myself to 100 possessions. It sounds pretty extreme, until you realize that all of things count as categories, and thus one thing, (i.e. toiletries, shirts, shoes... all can be one item.) then it all sounds a lot more managable, but it is still really really hard.
I mean some things are really hard to give up, even though they are completely unnecessary. Momentos of times with friends, artwork friends made me, stupid thing I made myself.. they all are really hard to give up. So far today I've given away all of my dvds, all of my journals (I tore out the pages I'd written on), a couple books, my peace sign ice cube tray and my lamp.
Also, I decided that this should effect my wardrobe in some way too... so starting tomorrow I'm cutting my wardrobe by 25%... I'm pretty excited for that actually... it will be hard, but worth it in the end I hope.
So wish my luck on this little endeavor.

vindictive

I'm vindictive by nature... I keep thinking of mean things to do to the stupid girl that turned my birthday from great to bad...

-Ramen seasoning in her shampoo
- change her firefox to where every single video she watches on youtube become the rick roll'd video
- ask "did you dye your hair lately, oh you didn't... weird... it just looks drier than normal"
- mail her a box of poop
-Have Rex steal a kiss from her after he has smoked a pack of cigarettes.
-get that free llama off craigslist and put it in her room.
-send a postsecret in with her picture (eyes blackened out but still obvious to her) that says " I knew I had aids, but still had sex with her

and these are the nicer ones.....
I am only writing this in an attempt to calm down... although... i do like the postsecret one..

Long week...

Soo... wow... life is dumb sometimes, but today was a busy yet unproductive day.
Today included;
Lunch with my brother (who apparently was an uber stoner)
Brownies from Dr. Allen
a meeting with Gene Schandorff where we discussed community
The costume room with Matt
Going to Rex's Shack
Going to Godspell
Hanging out with crazy girl

Highlight of the day:
Seeing Jo in Godspell. She did amazing, and I'm just so proud of her. I fall more and more in love with that girl every day (and that is friendship love, not romantic love)

Accomplishment of the Day:
making it over to Rex's for the first time... I left smelling like cigarette smoke and butt, but he is so entertaining, and I just love his easy going nature. Despite his being a complete screw up, he is a good egg.

Irritation of the Day:
Finding really sweet shoes at Ross that were in the clearance section which made them only 15 bucks, but finding out someone had just put them there, and they actually cost thirty and weren't marked down...

Lowpoint of the day:
Being so very very tired, all day long


Today I relaized that I turned out so much better than my brother. My brother is alcoholic rascist stoner scum... I love him, but he is. I like to think that I'm none of those things... I mean I don't use the N word, never have really gotten beligerantly drunk, and haven't smoked weed since my junior year of high school (4 years as of April 1st... maybe I should have a party).

I also sent a really mean E-mail out today, that thankfully I retracted four hours later, without anyone reading it. I love the retract feature.

Persuasion

I love this class.

The Game....

The name of the game is Only Nerds touch the door.
Here are the rules:
You can not touch doors with any part of your body, even by accident.
You must enter buildings without touching the door.
If you are playing with a group, whenever one of the people touches the door, you must call them a nerd. If you are playing by yourself you must call yourself a nerd in your head.
Also... the game never really ends, and you can play it whenever you want

It's really fun

Lazy sunday

Today was Jo's birthday... I love that girl.
I never actually got an invite to her party... I just happened to run into Drew who was headed over that way....
While we were there, Karissa and I developed a game... the nickname game... basically you and another person take turns shouting different words, four words for each person present... that becomes their nickname... mine is blue silly duck candy, Kissa's is Asian mouse adopted squinty... It was a fun game...

Highpoint: Playing the nickname game
Lowpoint: not getting invited to the party...
Accomplishment of the day: Dumpster diving, making a calander for the month, and finishing my ChaCha guide test
Irritation of the day: Yet again, getting cancelled on by people.... It's kind of a recent trend

I ate all the gumballs in my gumball machine today...

Things I'm not a fan of today:

• vague messages
• over analyzing things
• games where you make fun of people
• dumb girls

Things I am a fan of today:

• dumpster diving (i turns everyday around!)
• flashlights for dumpster diving (it was a first)
• calanders
• Hard candy (both the food and the movie, and the irony of both together)
