Nipple piercings…. I want them; it is a want that weighs lightly in my mouth.

How happy I am that I only have yoga, math discussion and zoo lecture tomorrow: SO HAPPY.
It’s so true that midterms make everything else stand still. I took two midterms today, and don’t have another until next Monday, then two more the week after; therefore, tomorrow will be the day I will carry the least class-oriented stress. And I am so ready for it! :)

Is it wrong to donate to charities? The WFP uses only 7% of donations towards managerial and fund raising purposes, which was plenty to convince me to send a donation, but then I spoke to my Mama, who made me feel bad over my decision, likening it to giving of money to homeless people… I do not know. I just want to try to do good, but there is of course always degrees of ability to help,...
Things I am doing today:
depositing my financial aid returns
visiting Verizon to complain and hopefully fix the phone that I just got on Wednesday after my old one broke. Ugh. Old one broke, new one came broken. Either I am an idiot, the unluckiest Verizon customer, or Verizon is a demon enterprise I wish I wasn’t contracted to
going to the bakery to pick up a small, sweet something to...

I am feeling so very good tonight. This interim after family has left but before classes have started has been quite nice. :) Yesterday I hiked twice, alone and then with others. (The photos are from the first trail.) Today I ate twice, once alone and once with others. And I only cleaned my room today, but I also happily heard from a friend I have been missing. I feel full, and proud of...
First night in dorm. I have just re-realized that my new school’s colors are exactly my old school’s colors. (Damn awful upholstery.) Some things I am carrying with me.
These are the things making me sad:
the detached closet, which is ridiculous, so deep, and so… orange. And so large. Hahaha.
that my desk lamp appears to be broken…
the overhead lighting
an internet...

8/3: Plan of attack for packing:

bookshelf must be gutted by Friday
then the side table and covered desk storage
then the top of desk
then walls
then clothes

'The Pressure of the Moment' by Dara Wier
snarkattack-gracenotes:
The pressure of the moment can cause someone to kill someone or something The leniency of consideration might treat with more kindness Which is to be desired. Or at least often to be desired. But if my house is on fire and you notice, I wish you would kill That fire. But if my hair is on fire, while I’m sure you’ll be enjoying The spectacle of it, act quickly...

If there is one institution best at hiding itself, it is my bank, who has locations no where.
“I had a dream that I was Hitler and I was standing on trial to justify my existence.”
That makes me feel… something. Today is a nice day; I am happy, but also I think a bit solemn. My room is clean and opening the windows makes it become very large. I feel good. I’ve not done too much, but am doing a little.
I am going to try a made up recipe inspired by an Colcannon...
Things for tonight
i. Someone is getting a present! (Maybe in a minute I will post an image)
ii. I want to run to the grocery store for two things:
-White chocolate wafers to make these for the picnic the family will have tomorrow
-A headband to try this (What a strange thing to not already own a single one)
iii. My cousin has a Pinterest. This is another strange thing. We are not particularly...

I wish there was different Egon Schiele paintings as a pane of 20 stamps. Or maybe any artist, the USPS could run a promotional campaign in art colleges nationally featuring a couple burgeoning artists every month or so… Teeny, tiny pieces of life and exposure in the upper right, instead of the ancient Liberty Bell half a hundred million times flooding insurance companies and electrical...
Let's talk about curtains for a second
UPDATE: My very dearest friend bought me these for my birthday! Oh happy surprise! :) I love you, Brrr!
A few months ago, I idly saw these at UO.com:
and I fell in love, but then wondered at what the hell do I need curtains for anyway? Especially curtains at the cost of $80 a panel. :( But, with this logic, I easily turned away from them. Until, magically, I got placed in a dorm room with a...

One Hundred Feet
by Sack Williams
A huge centipede crawls across the floor He is black and his legs are orange. He is enormous 12 inches Maybe more And he rears back and attacks the feet of the passers-by And they smile and reach down and pat him. They smile. And he bites their hands. Their hands swell up around the two deep punctures, which are swollen up over, the only sign left being two tiny...

Manier says, “Leopold’s moment with the wolf certainly was a life long defining one. … One of the beautiful things about growing up is that you are VULNERABLE enough to have experiences change your course. I value people’s ability to retain that vulnerability, be adaptable, and recognize when they are on the wrong path. Stay thirsty my...
Just made a two inch extender to a new necklace out of 3 mm rings. I am a wizard! All things are spun from my fingers! Hehehe. This is the necklace. Feeling marginally productive, and feeling excited, and feeling like I like the necklace.
“… I hope your summer has been vibrant and memorable so far. Bye Carly.”
Next week I am seeing, for the first time in more than two years, a friend who has been incarcerated for nearly half that time. I was very nervous for agreeing, but then I got a letter today and am less nervous now. I am tenderly excited once more.

After the supper dishes, let us start where we left off, my knees between your knees, half in the window seat. O let me, please, hands in your hair, drink in your mouth. Sweetheart, your body is a text I need the art to be constructed by. I halfway kneel to your lap, propped by your thighs, and feel burning my hand, your privacy, your part armor underwear. this time...
sheetscenes asked: Crrr I love the way you write :)
Mmmmy. And if you didn't have such small handwriting.. I don't know what I would do. You inspire me. To write smaller. Hehehehe. I miss you something.. big and hairy. Heh.
I feel like I've missed so much on your tumblr. Your drawings! You must send me one! I miss you.

“Despite his blindness, he had maintained the ability to detect emotion on a person’s face… TN’s rare condition is known as blindsight. Because his stroke damaged only his visual cortex, his eyes remain functional and as a result can still gather information from his environment. He simply lacks the visual cortex to process and interpret it. Sight has changed for TN from a...

I am filled with the most want of anyone in the world. There is a voraciousness, a dark tendril, something that’s reaching out—snakelike, tasting everything, eating nothing, searching for…. ah, this dreadful not-knowing!

”[…] the thing was as human and hideous as a real interview: hideous just because it was human, as human as to have met alone, in the small hours, in a sleeping house, some enemy, some adventurer, some criminal. It was the dead silence of our long gaze at such close quarters that gave the whole horror, huge as it was, its only note of the unnatural. If I had met a murderer in such a...
