Guess what? Ya girl just accidentally skipped class and still feels bad about it!! I missed out on my favorite class and instead hung out with Ana and Kathleen, went to my other WGS office hours to talk about my paper, and went to work/visit my program. So it was productive - but I missed 4 hours of discourse that I usually sit back and watch intently.Ā
But!!! I got a septum piercing done, and while it keeps bleeding if I jostle it, Iām already in love with it. The piercer (who was cute!) asked me why I wanted it and I was like oh theyāre cool you know? but inside I was like I already tested my parents by coming out, so nothing else I do can surprise them.Ā
We went on a quest to find pan mexicano for the road to SF
We parked too far from the powwow, but we got there after a scenic hike in time to see the entrance and azteca (that reminds me of mi ama)
added another bracelet to my now cluttered wrists.
left to find a philz, led to me internally screaming as we drove around SF (who let everyone here drive and cross anywhere and hit their blinkers in any lane and turn left only M-F from 3-7?)
but we didnāt die!! which means my driving in a larger city is decent
then we came home to Santa Rosa, got DB, and then I planned to go back to Glass Beetle and ask about maybe getting my septum pierced (EVERYONE I know has one and I refuse to start with a nose stud only. Maybe a hoop? but I want a septum too.)
then actually, after following them on insta for like a year, and knowing what Iāve wanted for ages, made a tattoo appointment. I can see half of all my paychecks between now and then going to these flowers but fuck it.Ā
(the other half will go to an apartment and maybe groceries. and dad hats.)
(Jas and Melissa learned to not leave Ana and I unattended.)
then hurried back so I could go to my gig as a judge for the talent show tonight which was neat. Working for AS has its perks.
Kings beat the Warriors and Ana and I lost it
Now weāre gathered around playing cp games and watching greyās
I brought up the womon/womyn thing and within 30 seconds of debate Jasmyn goes, "is it the difference between singular and plural?" god, she's a genius.
I feel like I've been hit by a car, or several roller skaters at once; and this potential fever isn't helping at all. But!! it's time to get up and go to our little local women's march at noon, so let's get shit done šŖš½
I've been cut off from owning more betta fish because I have a tendency to get way too attached to them, spend tons of money on them, and rescue them either from pet stores or unfit college students. Can you imagine me with any other animal? I'm going to be like Leslie Knope when she adopts those 32 cats and dogs as an adult, I can feel it.
So fingers crossed and knock on wood, but my mom's just got good news job-wise, my self-reflection/recap of the year reminded me of so many good days I'd forgotten, and I've got some proper goals ready for 2017 (I'm reading Tolkien and maybe rereading CS Lewis, I'm keeping a list of good things and a journal, I'm going to get more involved in my major/minor). I'm a mixture of blind optimism and determination to both have and remember the good days in 2017 and not let the bad days overshadow them like this year. Look how far we've come and imagine how much further we'll go.
Just finished my last essay (8 pages written all today like an English pro), submitted it with 4 minutes to go, and promptly changed into pjs and threw on Tegan and Sara to finish buying flannels šš¼
So I got pierced this weekend in my first act of college rebellion (that was actually probably being gay but whatever) andĀ one ear is still a little swollen and I canāt help from thinking itāll get infected and then Iāll have to be the next Van Gogh.
