hey look at that.
it’s been a month since i last posted. oh well. i’m officially a bad blogger. BUT. i’m going to redeem myself by updating you on every aspect of my life that you’ll forgive me for my lack of blogging skills.
today was quite exciting. because you know whY?
1. I got to talk to ABBY and you didn’t. maybe you did. but i just wanted to make you all jealous.
2. i took the day off. I totally just felt like it. and then i did. i was having a lot of trouble waking up this morning. and usually i’m pretty good about getting up. you see it was TOTALLY my body telling me that i needed to stay home and have a misun day. so i did.
3. I cooked food while i was home. I baked this banana chocolate cake from SCRATCH! It was kind of a spontaneous happening. so there were these bananas sort of rotting BUT NOT REALLY ROTTING FOR THOSE of you that ate it and i thought i should do something. i tried to eat them but they were too mushy. so i was like hm. i should bake some kind of banana bread cake thing! So i looked up this recipe online and it gave me the ingredients etc. etc. so i was putting everything together- but there were several problems. i didn’t have a measuring spoon, i didn’t have baking powder, i didn’t have plain yogurt, and i spilled milk on the floor. BUT these things all worked out. i guesstimated the measurements, i found substitute baking powder-which is apparently more baking soda plus more yogurt, i used special activia peach yogurt (all of you who ate it will have good poops,) and i cleaned the floor. everything worked out well so i was happy! and then i cooked dduk bok ee this korean dish with rice cakes and stir fry with soy sauce. YUM. i was pretty proud of myself. I can cook! I didn’t think i had it in me.
4. For dinner I went to a wonderful potluck at Ariana and Melissa’s lovely place and it was awesome. I love seeing the energy and happiness the right groups bring. It was really fun. it was hot. but that’s ok. we sang some songs and a new person i met there had a guitar and we sang along! he was super good at guitar and i was like “someday i’ll be that good.” YEah. People left and then it was just amanda, deborah, melissa, ariana, and me. and then we had a dance party and practiced our mad moves. so you peeps better watch out. you won’t know what hit you at toads.
5. now i’m blogging.
Stuff that’s been on my mind recently:
1. Ernesto Che Guevara. I just watched the motorcycle diaries. and now i borrowed the book. i will read it.
2. Gael Garcia. The actor. he’s so good. I also recently saw the Science of Sleep. he’s in it. it’s an awesome movie. if you watch it, invite me because i’ll watch it again. (it’s at the new haven public library if you wanted to watch it. i can borrow it for you if you want to watch it and you have no library card.)
3. Cellulitis. Jon Russell has been in the hospital for a while because of some mysterious bacteria in his leg. the doctors first said it was cellulitis, but now they dont really know. I hope he gets better soon. It must really suck to be in the hospital for that long.
4. How relationships happen/begin. I was just talking to abby about this. it’s kind of cool to think about how friendships really start. When does that kind of awkward stage end and then that intimacy begin? It’s so funny how it flows like that. one day it’s sort of awkward and you are striving to get to that familiar place with people you know well and then bam you think about it a couple of days/weeks/months later and it has happened. it’s amazing the way people interact.
5. Boston. I’m going up this weekend to see lovely molly! it should be exciting. But it’s also the first time i’ll be riding the greyhound. i’ll be with wambura. but i’m still a little scared. but we are tough and buff. so that should be ok.
6. traveling. i’d like to do more.
7. love. it’s been on my mind a lot recently. and i’m so happy that my life is full of it. i’m really thankful for my family and friends. they keep me well and happy. but in terms of the future and falling in love and things. that sort of scares me. i don’t know if that will ever happen to me. i hope it does! because i really would like to love someone and have that person love me back too. but then i also think. if i had a family what would happen. dang that is scary. maybe i won’t think about that too much now.
Things that i’ve done the past month:
1. Molly comes to visit! It was a fun fun fun weekend with sake bombing and getting high for the first time. went shopping too. i like shopping.
2. Mermaid parade with Phoebe in Coney Island. an interesting experience – there were so many types of people i have never really encountered before. it was quite fun.
3. New York roaming with some rainforest kids and wambura.
4. A successful dinner for the rainforest class yesterday! My suite- Amanda, Susie, and I hosted our rainforest dinner and made indonesian ginger chicken (it was super good). I also made my egg soup i ALWAYS talk about. if you haven’t had it please ask me to make it for you. BECAUSE i love making it. and its yummy. plus it’s super easy to make and taakes like 3 seconds. and for dessert we had this pretty fancy oreo cake. (jk it wasn’t fancy. it was basically ice cream in a pan). it was fun and i’m happy that i’ve spent my summer with those kids.
5. I finished Middlesex. It was a great book.
6. ARIANA IS HERE. and i played YAHTZEE for the first time!
7. Jon Russell’s jeep is the shit. It’s so cool. I need to take a picture of it and post it to the world.
8. JULY 4th! I went to see fireworks at Long Wharf. it was really nice. and then we went on top of hendrie hall and set off sparklers! it was fun.
9. listening to guster. all the time. it’s great.
peace out yos
