i was looking at my living room today and i realized that i unintentionally decked a room of my house out in gryffindor colors. basically now i can't look around here without thinking i'm in the gryffindor common room. which is...hilariously nerdy. but it made me think that i need to throw a random harry potter party! i could play harry and the potters all night and serve pumpkin beer and force everyone to dress up as a hogwarts student! people could see my house! decorations! knee socks! bad british accents! all only like a year and a half behind the trend! but then i realized that i don't really know a lot of people here anymore, and a lot of the people i do know don't get along with all the other people i know. but that would be so fun. i may just throw it anyway the next time bree and stephanie come to town. even if it's just me, them, evan, and jen, it would be a fun excuse to hang out. and hey, we could always go boarding.
basically i just wanted to write this entry so i would remember this idea later on. whee.
current mood: nerdy glasses on.
current music: still not bollywood music.

yesterday i found out i am about five blocks away from indian food! i walked by it yesterday when my mom and i went to lunch on main gate square. i couldn't believe it! they were even playing om shanti om on their tv's. i was going to order some [i can even get it delivered, says the suburban girl who was never within delivery range for anything but chain pizza] and eat it while watching main hoon na but i settled for trader joe's samosas instead. it was a good choice. the movie was okay. nothing has reached the level of om shanti om or even kal ho naa ho yet though. but shahrukh khan is still amazing. god bless that man, he needs to pop up in every movie from now on and make it ten percent more adorable.
today is autumn celebration day! well, for me anyway. i am making stew and homemade bread and homemade apple pie tonight and watching multiple episodes of gilmore girls and lighting pumpkin candles and reading the blue castle because today is supposedly going to actually feel like fall. i need to start making dough though, i got up late today and am way behind. ah, autumn. i heart you.
eta: i go to bed at night listening to the downtown trains and wake up in the morning to the campus bells ringing out [i can hear them two blocks away!]. i really, honestly love my house.
current mood: ready to start baking.
current music: something that isn't bollywood music. really.

last night i dreamt that gosselin six from john and kate plus eight were related to me for some reason and i was helping out with watching them at this family reunion party thing and i ended up talking a lot with this guy who was sort of related to me but not really at all and i said something like, "oh i've always wanted to kiss someone who has just eaten a bunch of limes" and he was like, "okay then" and kissed me. he looked like a cross between jake gyllenhaal and joseph fiennes and at one point i remember pulling him into a dark hallway and making out with him and feeling very scandalous because my family was in the next room.
this dream raises many questions, some of which include:
a. is there a better combination of attractive men than jake gyllenhaal and joseph fiennes?
b. why does my subconscious continue to throw attractive men into my dreams? too often i am making out with attractive dudes in my dreams and although that's...nice, it sort of makes things complicated for me in a number of awkward ways!
c. why did he have to be almost related to me? that's creepy, psyche!
in short, making out with attractive men in dreams is nice, but it's not making out with attractive men in real life and it brings on questions and lj entries once i'm awake. also, FEELINGS DREAMING IS BORING, KISSING IS AWESOME.
current mood: sing a new song, chiquitita
current music: always see your face, love

last night i had a dream that i finally talked to brett again and i was crying because i was sad that i never got to tell him about george takei getting married. sigh. seriously, this sort of stuff needs to stop happening. it has been like two years since i've even talked to him now. why is my subconscious still hanging onto him? argh.
i am listening to badly drawn boy and it's making me want to wear track jackets and watch about a boy ["it was terrible! terrible! but driving really fast behind the ambulance was fantastic!"] . and bridget jones' diary, for no reason at all. i went out for ice cream with a coworker tonight and we saw some girl running around with no pants on in front of cold stone. teenagers. but the point is. isn't it weird how you make friends when you don't really mean to or want to?
i am going to have a housewarming party at my new place sometime in august and i am already thinking about what i could make. at the moment, i am all about scones and kim chi. hopefully, this will change.
current mood: do do do do do.
current music: above you, below me, badly drawn boy

i think i am in love with the guy who plays tiberius gracchus in this bbc/discovery channel miniseries about ancient rome. sigh. go on out there and campaign for the common people and work it, tiberius. the senators may assassinate you but you'll always live on in my heart. i love rome. it's like a giant soap opera but with a lot more poisonings and craziness. and it's. all. true.
so i've been working a lot. and that's okay. my job is pretty easy and the pay is decent but i'm not getting a lot of hours so i will probably need to get another job soon. i am having fun while i can though. i've jumped back to my childhood and begun a re-read of all my american girl books. i sort of want to start a blog akin to all the baby-sitters' club reviewers out there [this one is my favorite] so i can talk about poor, doomed marta and hot, hot lars with someone else, but who knows. god i love these books, though, they are amazing.
all the baby quails died. we went outside one morning and they were all just dead and we don't know why. way to be crappy, nature.
current mood: time for bed.

so i took a video of the baby quails. because they were too cute not to video. please excuse my stupid voice.
in other news, isn't awful when you see someone and they're more attractive than you've been remembering them being? damn haircuts.
current mood: baby quails!
current music: the chills, peter bjorn and john

do you know that it was around seventy degrees in tucson today? with clouds and rain? and it is may? and also may 22 which is morrissey's birthday which i only know about because of this [which i totally want to go to but alas, next year] and not because i am a crazy morrissey stalker? i am celebrating all of these by sitting outside, drinking tea, eating ikea cookies and listening to belle and sebastian. oh, and talking to the birds. a family of quails began raising a family in one of our outdoor garbage cans filled with fallen palo verde leaves and their eggs just hatched yesterday. how cute are baby quails? answer: so cute. i want to take pictures but i don't want to disturb them. but they're like little, hopping, striped puffballs. ADORABLE.
summer school starts on tuesday. C'EST LA VIE.
current mood: unseasonably cold.
current music: we are the sleepyheads, belle and sebastian

i am starting to become convinced that life is just out to spite me and make me feel like a whiner for no reason. about two or three days after i wrote my entry about how everything sucked and wah wah wah me and all that, something awesome happened that solved about a third of my problems. i don't want to talk about it just yet because i feel like it's still in the "oh no, i'll jinx it!" phase, but once it's a done deal [and i get a camera] i'll share. and oh it's good. i'm excited to say the least. yay!
i am really enjoying the live albums that colin meloy of the decemberists made. good re-makes of morrissey songs? i'm there! well, pretty much anything morrissey and i'm there. oh morrissey. we've had our ups and downs, but i still love you. i totally used to hide my cigarettes in a hatful of hollow cassette tape case. because nothing says teenage smoking like the smiths! or something like that. in other news, i opened a high-interest savings account yesterday! adulthood, here i come.
current mood: or some such nonsense.
current music: sister i'm a poet, colin meloy

lately it feels like all i've been doing is planning theme parties i can throw when i get my apartment. random, right? but seriously. i play scrabulous on facebook and i imagine scrabble parties with alphabet pasta and the bad spellers playing all night. i listen to sweeney todd songs and imagine viewing parties of both the johnny depp version and the awesome live in concert version [with neil patrick harris as toby!] and homemade "a little priest" meat pies with "everybody goes down well with" beer. just now the mulan soundtrack popped up on shuffle and voila: mulan party with homemade crab puffs and egg rolls. but the point is. now i really want to watch mulan. "they popped out of the snow, like daisies!"
after drama with my residency status and finding missing documents, my ua application status has finally shifted from "you are missing documents" to "a decision will be made and sent to you soon." i know i'll get in. i have to, right? i've already made an appointment with an advior so they have to let me in. they don't want to waste their faculty members' time. but yeah. needless to say. nervous. but it feels good. ready for a change and all that, i know i've said it many times before, but whatev.
current mood: guh.

tomorrow is my thanksgiving. in preparation of this, today i:
-- made cranberry sauce.
-- roasted and mashed sweet potatoes.
-- baked two loaves of bread for stuffing.
-- made dinner roll dough.
-- made butter. yes, i made butter today, because i am the coolest indie rock faux amish girl you know.
-- made martha stewart pie crust with a fancy french name.
-- baked a pumpkin pie with said pie crust.
tomorrow i just have to work on the turkey, finish the stuffing, make the vegetables, and bake the rolls. it's going to be awesome. i love thanksgiving and i can't wait until next year when i will [hopefully] get to host it at my own place which i will [hopefully] have by then.
i have been listening to the smiths too much lately but i don't think this can be a bad thing. it is fall after all, and it's like a rule that when it's fall you have to listen to a lot of morrissey. and/or sufjan stevens. oh, canner row, oh! oh! oh!
current mood: covered in flour.
current music: shakespeare's sister, the smiths

right now i'm just feeling. and it feels weird because i feel too much. i am emo beyond emo. oh well. speaking of emo, did i tell you i saw chris the other day? i was in between two tables of new releases, trying to find the perfect book with the perfect amount of teen angst and the perfect amount of teen beauty in it when a yellow blur come rushing by and grabs me. c-h-r-i-s, standing in all of his thrift store and manly cologne glory, is hugging me and asking me how i am and what am i buying and have you heard elliot smith? i'm ok, i'm buying a book on david bowie letters, and yes! royal tennenbaums! he smiles and says you're great and he is a star all of a sudden. we talk about my age. he can't believe i still am fifteen, i haven't graduated, and i still can't get a job. he asks me if i am a vegetarian and i say yes, i am trying and he smiles and tells me about this website and that website, and he could send me a bunch of recipes if i would like? and he offers me his elliot smith cd that he will let me borrow asap. i mention his mix tape and his eyes get big and he smiles and he looks six years old suddenly. he is my secret agent lover man.
if there has to be one constant in my life, it is always going to be me at fifteen, when i was pretty much in love with chris who i barely even knew, and the journals that documented it all in excruciating detail.
current mood: nostalgic yet again.
current music: all the umbrellas in london, the magnetic fields
