hey there self!

you did pretty damn good today.

you did not walk to penn station for lunch and free lemonade, but that is okay. you ate salami cream cheese rollups and half a peach, which is YUMMY. they didn’t even email you about that free lemonade, you had to find out about it in an AD. they never deserved your money. also, you saved the awfulness of walking that far in the summer heat, and you had a late breakfast, and since you were home for lunch, when mom called you to facetime with dot, you could share that joy with katie and todd. EVERYBODY WINS. except penn station, who can suck it.

but you did ALL THE OTHER THINGS. and completed ALL OF THE STEPS and DID NOT CRY even when talking about hard things

bangers and mash for dinner? DELICIOUS. you liked it, emma liked it, katie liked it, todd will totally like it when he eats the leftovers for lunch tomorrow (and if he doesn’t, YOU WILL.) let’s call this experiment a success. (next time: sausage with apples in, and maybe caramelize some apples with the onions and cider in the gravy. YUM)

peach cobbler for dessert? ALSO DELICIOUS. it was bafflingly runny, but whatever. it was peachy and cobblery, and there’s plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. maybe you’ll even eat some for breakfast.

AND DO NOT FORGET you had a SWELL TIME with emma! she helped with the cooking and also the cleanup so katie could quilt, and then you talked lots about adulting is hard and leaving a formerly beloved fandom is sad and also sunburns and market day chicken and languages and fic and other things you cannot remember the specifics of. you ENJOY HER FRIENDSHIP.

katie was disappointed by the dishes in the sink when she got home from work. you unloaded the dishwasher, and tried to reload it, but you could not handle touching the dirty ones. IN FUTURE: maybe try to move the dishes through sooner, so they do not have time to build up repulsiveness? or talk to katie about what your issue with touching the dirty dishes is, and what her expectations are, and find something you can both live with. LIKE A GROWNUP

(and let’s not talk about hydration. at all. ever again.)

but BANGERS AND MASH and PEACH COBBLER and EMMA and NO CRYING and SUCCESSFUL SHOWERING

today was a GOOD DAY

tomorrow will be hard, eventually:

clothes

teeth

hair

deodorant

breakfast

lunch

dishwasher

dust

help make dinner

ugh hydration. three glasses of water?

ugh people over including tiny humans

hide upstairs

hope they don’t scream

maybe walk to the library in hunt of movies to watch?? (use katie’s card, if so)

I'm using your Wonderland theme and I was wondering if there was a way to make the second sidebar permanent instead of having to click for it? I've read through the code for a while and I can't seem to figure it out. Thank you!!!

hello :) this isn’t the first time i’ve been asked this question, so i’ll be publishing this in case anyone else is in need of it

find

$(document).ready(function(){$("#menu").click(function(){$(".down").toggleClass("up");});});

delete that

then find

.down {position:fixed;left:-300px;height:100%;width:300px;transition:all 0.5s ease;}.up {left:0px;width:300px;transition:all 0.5s ease;}#nav {z-index:10;top:0px;height:100%;width:300px;position:absolute;}#cont {color:{color:click sidebar};height:100%;width:280px;padding:10px;position:fixed;background-color:{color:click sidebar bg};}

change .up to .down, and after the { add position:fixed; height:100%; and then delete

.down {position:fixed;left:-300px;height:100%;width:300px;transition:all 0.5s ease;}

let me know if you have any problems

lightandscreen hat auf deinen Eintrag geantwortet:hey girl hey, just saw your post about the meeting...

I’m totally in agreement, there’s always going to be people better than you at something, which is why i’m not trying for graphic design anymore. The problem is with retail i can’t support myself. How does that work over in Germany?

It depends. Most of the time you can hardly support yourself either cos they like to hire people on a 400€ basis. In the end, it depends on where you live and how much you need. I lived on 500€ for three years cos I lived in a small ugly town, but yeah, can't exactly call it easy either. My mom gets like 700€ per month and the state pays her extra money for rent so she can live through the month. But we're not exactly millionaires. No holidays and expensive shit et cetra basically.

hey girl hey, just saw your post about the meeting with your boss and i feel ya. I went to school for four years for graphic design and after three years i still don't have a job and am working retail. Sometimes shit just doesn't work out, but I hope for the best for your meeting. I'm sending good vibes.

Thanks! That’s the thing about this field of work. You really gotta have it in you and there’s just too many people who are far more talented/charismatic/creative/prettier and better than you in the creative industry and that’s a FACT. Facing that you’re simply shitty and that this is the reason why you won’t make it (talking about myself, not you btw! Don’t get the wrong impression!) in this field is just hard and hurts, but oh well, working in retail or as a general cashier and such is  not so bad actually. I mean I come from a family of “simple” workers, so it’s no surprise that it’s where I’m headed as well. Meh. Just thought that maybe I could do better than them. Blah.

Hey, just saw your post for the film your making with the infected... Shit, that looks amazing! That makeup is sick! The eyes especially. Nice work.

Thanks! I didn't do the makeup stuff though (thank god lmao) I was head of costume, set photographer and editor! I'm really proud and pleased with the thing though. I've worked with amazing people and friends and it was so so much fun. I can't wait to share the trailer and teaser as soon as they're done!

My roommate has a movie blog.

We're watching the Oscars.

She's on her computer.

She's not liveblogging the Oscars.

Her priorities, they are not in order.

Llama, Alligator, Dino!

Llama: Do you have funny habits? If yes, which?

A: Actually, yeah I do. But most of the time it's only funny when my best friend is around. I'll be writing and all of a sudden snap my fingers. She'll jump or twitch and look over at me with a confused or annoyed look XD

Alligator: Tell me three facts about you.

A: ONE! I have a lot of pets... A hamster, four cats and two dogs (three if you count my best friends). TWO! I'm an extreme book-o-holic. When you walk into my room the first thing you'll notice is the piles of books currently at my door. THREE! I'm not really a religious person but recently I've been pondering the idea of wicca.

Dinosaur: How old are you?

A: I am 18 but my birthday is in four months.
