She leaves a little cat hair everywhere she goes

Goooooooood morning, It's been a few sleeps since the last time I posted. Surprise, surprise. A few things have changed in my life in that minute period. I'll start with the biggest, as I am not very good at being discrete (discreet? hmm). The first thing is Jon (or mYnAMEjon as he likes to announce, not unlike a pokemon). We met last April, began officially dating July 27th (the same day as my thesis defense... many a milestone that day), and he's been sorta living with me since his birthday last December. We've just passed 6 months and are coming up on our first Valentine's Day together (he already got his gift of bath bombs. He already got me a diamond necklace for Christmas, and I still feel spoiled. He says we're staying at home to celebrate and I want to do a chocolate fondue with the pot I got as a gift and have never used).

Boys and Girls

Feel like a hurricane has ripped through the house that is my mental and emotional status quo, and I can't decide how to process all of these changes. First off, boys . Who knew that I would ever be liked by them? Too late though, I already have two cats. Just kidding, like cats are going to deter boys from pussy (I promise I haven't given my virginity away yet to any of the guys that only talk to me for 2 weeks at a time). Knowing that there are boys to talk to has really shaken up the flavors of my life. All the shit that I have been into since "the year Julia was fourteen" (so dubbed by the bros) no longer have the same appeal. What do I even do with myself on weekends now besides occupy my thoughts with boys? I suppose I have been visiting old man and skim in Austin, as well as going home a lot. Free time, when I'm not pooped, is TV, painting, and drinking. Bbobbo and Giogio may be languishing as a result (my bad, homies). I now have a full-blown addiction to ...

There's a troll in my home

I have a hard time finding comrades who agree with me that social media and networking sites give people emotional whiplash. Going on Facebook always feels like everyone is simultaneously shouting what they're thinking all the time. In recent years, I have noticed in my sporadic visits to Facebook that everyone is just linking one another the news, Youtube, or garbage posts that have...rare is the original post of one person who only wanted to communicate with another person.  Maybe the reason why I don't have any commiserators is because we're all silently observing and recovering from watching the wreckage that is the twenty car pile-up of social everything. The amount of exposure everyone wants and gets is a little a lot disturbing. Writes the author of a blog. Jokes on you, because no one reads this blog because there are millions of other sources of entertainment and stimulation on the Internet. My mother sent me a picture that was (presumably) shared to her by her ...

It's okay baby, please don't cry

Jeezus. After my somehow successful(?) attempt at quitting kpop, one night reminiscing on YouTube with skim led me to become updated as a Wonderful and a Blackjack. Shit. First of all, everything about the current Wonder Girls situation makes me sad. Sohee gone. Will-they-won't-they officially disband (although, given the history of kpop groups - they will prob never disband). Sunye living the life she's dreamed of (she's been in the spotlight since she was 11. and always as an angel. what). Ye-eun/ha:tfelt's solo album = girl, why you make me even more sad . I also (of course) watched all of my old 2NE1  Park Bom favorites. Everything was the usual sad+happy=sappy, until I found out about this "dissing" shit. Okay. I already knew about the situation with Bom and the drugs and the confusion and the tears and the silence. What I didn't need to know is everyone else's opinions on the matter. (I NEED TO STOP FUCKING READING COMMENT SECTIONS - ...

St. John's What?

Wort. His wort. Bought 150 x 300mg of St. John's Wort extract to see if something OTC can help me out. Made me feel good. Being proactive. Bought Starbucks all by myself. Also, when shopping online for Christmas gifts, I discovered a surprising amount of brown coffee mugs that referenced poop. Do a lot of people have to poop after drinking coffee? Can the caffeine (or something else?) act that fast as a laxative? Why is this the first time I have heard of this? I guess that's just what happens when you grow up in a tea-drinking household. We drink tea straight and coffee heavily doctored. The smell of coffee in office buildings has always seemed so sad to me.

And the transformation

is complete. From this...  (These are from the day of my GRE. I woke up 10 minutes before the test was scheduled to start and ran all the way to the testing center. Considered not even putting on proper undergarments for the time it would take. Half sprinted and half cried the whole way there. Properly crazy woman.) To this. With a beautiful (and strange because it's still soft) ponytail that will be donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I would put the picture here, but it creeps out Old Man, so I imagine that it might make some people uncomfortable(?). Idekok. The haircut energized me a little. Hopefully, it might motivate me to lose some weight to match the style. I was a little bit afraid it would turn into a bad mom-cut, but it actually makes me feel childish.  Who knows? My brain is pretty much gone at this point from watching  Hellboy , Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters , Hellboy 2: The Golden Army , Love Actually , and Mulan ...
