okcupid strikes again
someone i don’t know very well just quoted part of my okcupid profile to me at a show.
okc is potentially more trouble than it’s worth, if i’m being honest.
first daily comic i’ve liked in awhile.
lest you think my heart is a bottomless pool of cynicism i give you a mostly sweet, whimsical comic about dumpstering flowers, which i love to do.
is it sad that this is the song i’m anticipating dancing to the most at the slowdance this year? it pretty much encompasses the romantic dreams of my teenage years because i thought it was the best love ballad ever performed and i had dreams about dancing to it with…actually, no one in particular. but an unknown someone with whom i would obviously want to dance. and while i don’t exactly feel these things in the present day, i know i can get at least one of my friends to dance with me to this song for my lonely, awkward teenage self.
(also note the awful official music video featuring clips from dawson’s creek)
yeah.
27 Jan 2012 @ 11:52AM / those times when anticipation boils over into impatience.
my housemate sves and i were talking about queer stories yesterday, and i ended up telling my first official queer crush story and how i definitely did not consider it a crush even though every time i saw this person my heart started beating very fast and i got awkward and couldn’t talk to her and i waited to see her every day at the library. because i refused to be queer.
actually, the last time i on the island i was heading to vancouver to catch my flight and saw this person on the ferry and she was still a babe and i wanted to be like “you’re one of the reasons i started to realize i was queer! holy shit!” but that would have been creepy. i mean, she used to wear these baggy cutoff cargo pans and i just swooned every time i saw her but i still don’t know what her name is.
(it’s not that i’ve stopped doing fun-a-day, i just really do not like any of the comics from the 19th-21st so i’m not uploading them.)
break in the clouds.
i’ve spent so much time listening to audiobooks in my room i forget that when i comment/laugh out loud in public people think i’m talking to them. so gasping “oh god, don’t do that!” while crossing paths with someone today made them turn around and stare at me, surprised, as i laughed at the antics no one else could hear.
also, i found a couple of boxes of avocados beside the dumpster at atwater and took a bunch because fuck, i have $5 in my pocket to last me till the 1st and i am going to fucking revel in free avocados. and then i ate an avocado-tofu sandwich with crispy garlic on it, some coffee and a bit of chocolate… and the world feels right for the first time in days.
so the other day i was wearing this blue button-down shirt and decided to take a picture of myself because i very rarely wear button downs, even though i really like them, ‘cause they pull over my boobs and hips in a really irritating way.
anyway, this photo is the result and it makes me feel kinda weird but i’m not sure why. also, my lipstick is really smudged and spotty because i tend to bite my lip when i’m feeling awkward and always forget to reapply it. oh well. but i’m putting it here ‘cause i like it and ‘cause i don’t like it and i feel very interested in both of these reactions. and maybe i’ll just delete it soonish anyway.
(wait, should i also admit that i was trying to be jennifer grey in “ferris buller’s day off” just a little?)
Taken with instagram
i’m sitting downstairs on my computer RIGHT NOW exactly like steve is sitting upstairs. woaaaaah. house dualities.
(except i have a plate of cookies next to me)
things i did today
-added lace to a dress (my new stye is lace on everything)
-had a bath under the cat’s careful supervision
-spent two hours sitting in my room wrapped in a towel with the curtains closed reading tumblr
-had to admit to myself that i might have a fascination with tori spelling.
-avoided checking my e-mail because i don’t wanna see potential responses to e-mails i’ve sent out.
how am i going to make a comic about today? i need to start having some adventures fast.
comic for january 18th, a strange kind of low in depression. the one where i laugh and feel awesome but it’s all built on a rotting foundation and eventually it collapses back into the scummy depths of my depression. generally at midnight.
also, you (hopefully) can’t see it, but my drawing was a casualty in this morning’s sloppy coffee-cup makeout session*. which is why i shouldn’t multitask or try to do anything except inhale as much coffee as possible.
allllso, this is my first time trying to draw danielle. sorry danielle! the more i draw someone the closer to a likeness i get, but i can’t even draw my own sisters properly. i’m best at drawing me me me.
*i have an intense and passionate relationship with coffee
when i romanticize insomnia during the day i imagine myself painting till 5 am, then drinking some coffee and making pancakes and walking around all day sleepy but accomplished.
in reality i’m reading other people’s tumblrs and wishing i had a croissant, except eating it in bed is just a step too far into crumbs-forever-in-my-sheets territory and i can’t handle that.
edit: also i’m agonizing over an e-mail i sent. if you want some more uninteresting truths.
comics for the 16th and 17th…i like the first but not the second. oh well.
