» i grew up in the west end: awesome things
nebraskacity:
1. my courses. i am wretched with anxiety about my final semester of school, but i’m compensating by taking awesome electives: social inequality/social justice/public policy, the dark side of sexuality, gender issues, and perception in psychology. i wish i could just learn and not be stressed out….
I still look around here sometimes, though I don’t post. I’m just so busy/distracted/my mind is missing lately. There are awesome things in my life too.
Awesome things
1. I met a man (exactly to the day) two months ago and we’re in love.
2. I am jobless! It’s not awesome. I miss my job a lot, but as it goes. I’ve been applying and have interviews the past couple days at my favourite vegan food stop, that is literally a 2 minute walk from my house, and a little store that is 1 and a half minute walk from my house. Hopefully something comes up, but I have kind of liked the time to relax and imagining possible prospects.
3. I was in New York City for a week over the new year, it was amazing. My highlight? Cereal milk soft serve ice cream, I kid you not.
4. School started up, I’ve had four classes so far. I completely love three of them (in my first class of the semester, we watched Breathless), one is not my cup of tea and will be a bit of a challenge but chug on right. The fifth, I’m kind of flopping between what course it will be, and by that it means I’m trying to get into one that is full but I have not given up yet.
5. I bought a juicer and joined a nearby yoga studio, more permanent than drop in classes. On that health note, I think I’m going to have leftover sweet potato fries and miso gravy from Fresh. I do what I can, but I mean, my boyfriend lives next to Hogtown vegan. Too much Mac and Cheeze.
6. Getting a CAT!
Every time this photograph resurfaces on my dashboard I shake or cry a little. I remember.

I remember being afraid of curves.
BAKERS!
I want a ginger bread recipe. Not like gingerbread, the Christmas dessert. Bread bread. Savoury as it is sweet bread. That tastes like ginger. Recipe?
And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally messing with you. All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.

Fuck expectations.
I laughed out loud, and that is rare.

Height: 5’3, almost. I’m too short
Hair Color: Dark, dark brown. Deceivingly black, but against black clothing obviously brown. An ex-boyfriend of mine used to insist I had black hair, it was brown.
Eye color: Brown, but not deceivingly as any other colour. Clearly brown. As long as I can remember I’ve wanted green eyes, but then I just start singing in the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping and you, my brown-eyed girl and I stop wishing, like always, to change another part of myself
Freckles: Hidden ones on my shoulder, on my nose
Best feature: I like my hands and have really long eyelashes, and my back, shoulders, clavicles
Worst part of your body: Oh I have so many complexes, don’t get me started
Scars: On the knees, I fell/fall a lot. My feet and my brain can’t align
Tattoos: Animals
Piercings: Just my ears, but have had nose and vertical labret in the past
Disease: I have weird things that go on inside my brain/inside my body
Broken bones: Never, but I’ve had a broken muscle (guess which one?)
Phobia: Underwater, gears/machines/technology
Obsession: Aesthetics, women
Fear: I can fold my tongue in interesting ways
Best feeling: Balance, better than any euphoria - more difficult to achieve
What I’m feeling lately. Cheap Mondays, knit sweaters, chai tea lattes.
