So livid with UPS right now…. I was out of town for their first two attempts at getting me my package (sheet music which I NEED this week), so I scheduled the third (and final, they only make three attempts before returning your package back to the sender) attempt for today, Friday, the ONLY day I could commit to being here all day. I had to pay them extra to be able to choose this day. I...

Feeling majorly bummed out, listening to Chris Bathgate, cleaning every surface of my apartment, eating lots of dumplings, waiting for a package from UPS (which might not get here till midnight? what the fuck?)…

More than the ugly clothes, more than the overly coiffed hairstyles, I think my favorite random ‘period piece’ element of this show is when they reference things like (in this episode) the Jim Bakker scandal, or the Bosnian War, or the (recent, to…

Can’t WAIT to get this zine underway… I have so many amazing talented friends (such as Krishni! otherwise known as documentedhere and postcanvas !!) to collaborate with. On Friday we trekked down to Pilsen to attend the benefit concert for Chicago Zine Fest and it was incredibly...

Partying on New Year's Eve?
verybusyandimportant:
Don’t drink and drive-and don’t ride with anybody who does. Tipsy Tow offered by AAA: you don’t have to be a AAA member, from 6pm-6am on New Years Eve/day, they will take your drunk self and your car home for FREE. Save this number… 1-800-222-4357. Please reblog this if you don’t mind.
Also, Chicago, public transportation is A Penny on new years eve. You don’t have an...

Don’t know what to do about my Summer… According to my Dean I can still graduate early from Northwestern if I use this Summer to either take three Summer classes or have a full-time internship, and use next Summer to do whichever I don’t do this time around.
There is absolutely no way I am going to take classes in Evanston this Summer because it is a miserable fucking town, but...

Really excited for the day when people realize that jokes about drug overdoses, mental illnesses, sexism, etc…. aren’t funny.
I’m getting tired of calling shit out, tired of being made to feel like I’m sitting on a high horse (when its really just a horse that admires decency). I posted a countdown till Thanksgiving when I’ll be back in Detroit on my mirror. I...

Trying real hard to escape Evanston this weekend. Best case scenario: Hitch a ride to Ann Arbor with my buds from the Co-op going there for some kind of Co-op gathering this weekend. Less-preferable but still pretty good scenario: Take a train up to Wisconsin, do touristy junk in Milwaukee.
In other news, my birthday is in two weeks, on 11-11-11. I’m trying to come up with enough wishes...

Lovin all the post-halloween party pictures popping up today, too bad the political activism party I went to last night didn’t yield any sweet pictures, too….Yet somehow ended up being one of the more enjoyable nights of the quarter thus far.
But! The Co-op is having a costume party tonight! Very torn between using my (kind of baggy) gold jumpsuit to be David Bowie or C3PO.

So I had a meeting with my dean today, apparently I can graduate a year early with all the extra classes I’ve taken…. WHAT?! HELL YES
Keep catching myself thinking, “WHY CAN’T I JUST DO WHAT I WANT” a lot lately. Realized this week that I know what I want to do but am afraid to do it. Gotta change things. Literally cried with happiness when I went to Michigan last weekend… That’s pretty indicative of something.
On the bright side, went to Occupy Chicago yesterday and am singing with a jazz...
IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH
my apartment right now is actually just a molten pit full of
dirty dishes
worn-once-but-still-wearable piles of laundry
crossword puzzles
sick-person items like tissues and medicine
stacks of books and dvds
lecture notes strewn EVERYWHERE
I need to be healthy again and get this place cleaned the fuck up

When Charlie came and visited me this weekend at my apartment here at school I felt like I was on vacation. The whole time I felt like I’d be getting on the bus back to Michigan with him Sunday morning, too, instead of staying here. What is that? Why do events we’re dreading seem unreal like they won’t actually come to pass? Is it some kind of denial? Coping mechanism?

So I know tumblr has sort of cooled down on the Jack-Layton-is-amazing-and-will-be-sorely-missed kick it was on a few weeks ago, but as an American who is regrettably out-of-touch with Canadian politics (I know, I know… No excuses), I’m only just realizing what the hype was all about. Sitting at a coffeeshop right now procrastinating on transfer application essays, I’ve been...

Being alone in a big bed in a big city makes me feel so small. It’s so distressing to me that it’s waking me up at night.
Something is, anyway.
This exact scene has been heavily on my mind lately… About to move back down to Chicago next week into a new apartment by myself. Excited for the independence, but terrified that I’ll feel so alone.

Going on a roadtrip with Charlie tomorrow! Heading to Toronto in the morning, staying there one night, then moving onward to Rochester, NY till Monday so Charlie can pick up all his crap to take home to Michigan from the U of R and catch up with his budz there. So excited that I bought us snacks from all the major food groups to eat in the car (sweet, sour, savory, gummy worms, and donuts (which...

Just finished up with a bubble bath in which I read “The Feminine Mystique”, ate popcorn, and listened to chill jamz like Mahler 3. About to learn to play Mahler 3 for pool auditions in a month… Dreading them like no other. All I want to do is go back up to the cabin and sit for another several months/a lifetime with cherries and dunes and meadows and clear skies and...

Had an enlightening violin lesson at UMich today, talked to some admissions people about the potentiality of my Northwestern credits transferring if I should so choose to make the switch, scheduled a lesson with my old teacher from the Detroit Symphony for next weekend, planned a trip Up North for this coming weekend with my boyfriend, hemmed a skirt, hung out with my Mom, ate some real good...
