Wednesday, July 27, 2011 ( 10:51 AM ) shut up christine more on growing older been thinking about some of the exciting recklessness of my youth i thought i was so adventurous back then lying to my parents about going to thailand by myself. backpacking on my own for a couple months. getting on random buses, hopping off randomly. sleeping on sidewalks. selling pinatas. following locals home. guy in nicaragua: i'm a photographer. do you want to come to my house to look at my photography? me: okay ended up being 4x6 photos of his last vacation trip, taken with a disposable camera. but you know, when we went inside and he locked the front door and he asked me to sit on his bed... for a second i was like FACK maybe i shouldn't have come here... i have lots of stories like that luckily nothing bad ever happened to me. i think about the Younger Me, now and while i remember her fondly, Current Me is much different. much older. (not that much, geez. dramatic) not a bad thing. just an observation time flies # Sunday, July 24, 2011 ( 4:54 PM ) shut up christine positivity! ( 9:45 AM ) shut up christine beautiful day you see this picture it's the view from my bed peaceful, no? then i looked closely at the reflection in the first pot on the left on the right side of the pot...it kinda looks like the reflection of a man... wearing a suit. sitting on the edge of the bed. he has a white shirt and striped tie...do you see it? you can barely make me out but i am lying on the bed taking the picture. looks like there are 2 figures standing behind the bed as well (shadows maybe? the wall behind our bed is totally blank)i am home alone. this picture was taken 10 minutes ago i am probably imagining this to distract myself from studying but i do live next to a cemetery. we share one fence with the Rosedale Cemetery, and another fence with the Dae Han Mortuary that is all. don't freak out back to studying Saturday, July 23, 2011 ( 12:39 PM ) shut up christine just got a call from my former clinical instructor, whom i haven't seen in months she just wanted to say hi, and wish me good luck on my test on monday and to call her if i need anything, even if its just a quiet place to study i have a little knot in my throat right now. so much gratitude # Friday, July 22, 2011 ( 4:41 PM ) shut up christine things i would like to do before turning 29 - finish nursing school - order a CSA box subscription - and learn how to cook for real, like how to properly hold a knife - bake bread in our rice cooker (ours has a bread function) i want to make cornbread - complete the entire Insanity program, once - go dancing with makoto (he's 35 years old and has never been!) - run at least once a week - learn how to parallel park. omg this has been on my list forever. i WILL parallel park, confidently and quickly, by my 29th birthday. mark my words... - manage my time better (i am finally getting a handle on this) - sleep at a decent hour. get at least 6 hours of sleep each night - spend more time with Wee (my baby niece) - wear my bathing suit. who gives a fack if my dimpled stomach hangs out? sunlight at the beach is too good to waste - make a conscious effort to smile more often - visit Animal Acres # Wednesday, July 20, 2011 ( 11:29 AM ) shut up christine i have a sparkly star-shaped dish sponge. i like washing dishes with it it makes dish washing more pleasant i wish i had a sparkly star sponge equivalent for the tedious reconciling of excel sheets with bank statements to figure out why there's a $2000 discrepancy from two years ago *bangs head against wall* # Sunday, July 17, 2011 ( 10:22 AM ) shut up christine on turning 28 sometime in the last year, making my bed every morning became a high priority it became important. i might even say that i enjoy it funny what makes you happy as you get older # Sunday, July 10, 2011 ( 9:41 AM ) shut up christine sometimes i go for weeks or months craving one specific thing all the time in the past, my obsessions have included: - biscuits - macaroni and cheese (ironically i have an aversion to mac & cheese, for the moment) - orange juice - mcdonald's soft serve vanilla ice cream cones - eggs, over-easy or sunny side up right now i'm totally into potatoes. potato potata also, i've been playing a new game i set my timer for 1 hour increments i must be completely focused until the buzzer goes off no getting up, checking email, facebook. studying only. been playing this game 6-7 hours a day. it's not that fun :( no, it IS fun. say it. this is fun studying is fun studying is fun look how fun this is i know this song is about sex but it works for studying too. push harder, you're almost there now you can do it, i believe in you baby motivation go go go go omg this is how i spent my study break destroy this test, mother effa # Tuesday, July 05, 2011 ( 10:17 AM ) shut up christine heart my new neighbors and their illegal fireworks # |
