so i've been sick for almost two weeks now, but guess what turns out to be an effective cough suppressant?


Crymsen figured that one out on wikipedia while he was visiting and we were both totally ill.
it makes sense though, dark chocolate is all cocoa powder and cocoa butter, and cocoa butter soothes skin right? why not the skin in your throat?

either way, it's one easy homeopathic remedy to follow for sure. why YES, i WILL eat delicious squares of chocolate until this silly cough settles down. no problemo.

i've got some seriously flurfy hairs this morning.


so i think i might open an etsy store to see if i can make some moolah on it.

someone has to have similar tastes, right?

i also need the money, for tattoos. i'm finally able to pay off some of the credit debt that i accrued a number of years ago in college. nothing like dodging debt collector calls for a couple years (sorry mom). either way, this suckfest of responsibility makes it really hard to save for things like tattoos but alas i yearn for my next two.


oh yeah, i also made cookies this morning because i didn't get the chance to last night.
the bottoms are kind of burned, i suck at baking.
note to self: no baked goods on etsy.

wtf was this?

retrimmed the new bangs today. like.

also like:
i've recently become associated with a group that organizes surprise experiences.
i am very very excited about this.

i spent all day yesterday puking with some sort of 24-hour bug.
not fun.
word to the wise: don't eat out of public communal bowls during cold and flu season. i'm pretty sure i picked this up in a peanut bowl playing bingo at the bar.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!


i'm spending mine at work watching 30 rock instant watch on netflix. yaaaaaay.

EDIT

still watching 30 rock but i've had to clean up pee in completely inappropriate places already.


QUIT DOING SO MUCH FUCKING COKE SO PEOPLE CAN PEE IN THE TOILET YOU ASSHOLES. this isn't some crazy co-op loft. jesus.

handy pic to keep around.
have a good one, one and all.

DNW to get sick.

how is this the most recent picture of me uploaded on my computer?
i guess i haven't been self-shooting much lately but this will do.


things have been going swell!
i've been busy working and my job still rules.
also, the main man and i have moved into our own place for the very first time.
our two year anniversary is coming up in february and before nov. 15, we'd never lived without roommates. so far it rules and we have space to put things up like this!


that's him being staggered by the sheer monumentality of the crossword he bought me for my birthday in october!

in other news, tonight i finally finished my jalapeno dip. i strained plain yogurt and then put crushed fresh garlic, a shitload of roasted jalapenos and a roasted onion, salt, tumeric, cumin and smoked paprika in it. it tastes pretty damn good now so we'll see how it is tomorrow after the flavors have all melded in the fridge.
yum!

i'm snarfing up another package of that fake mozzarella that i love so much.
how. can. it. be. so. good?!

so, what you have all be waiting for.
the garlic tampoon MIGHT have worked but it's hard to say because the very next day i had to wear a normal tampon so that i could function in society as a menstruating human.
what you may not know (gentlemen) is that sticking a dry, bleached wad of cotton fibers into your hooha will exacerbate vagina infection symptoms exponentially. so, the period in which my initial symptoms abated was quickly overshadowed by the pure torture that ensued. in the long run, i had to break down and buy some friggin' monistat and my first package of pads in almost a decade.

as for tasting garlic.... i might have psyched myself out. i kept thinking that *maybe* i tasted garlic but i couldn't be sure. i also had to wonder if i was just getting wiffs of my garlicky vag cuz LEMME TELL YA, taking a leak was like hanging out in an italian restaurant. smelled great!

when my boyfriend came home (who i'd been updating via text the whole time) he let me know that though i wasn't sure if i could taste garlic, there was nothing but pure garlic vapor pouring out of my mouth. AWESOME!!

moral of this story, a. apparently i have an EXTREMELY high garlic threshold, b. there is a distinct connection between mouths and vaginas which makes me wonder.....
