Missy Doroshi

snip snip

In an attempt to cure my really bad case of the uglies, I tried to chop off the mullet part of my post-pixie-mess and was left with this.

Awkward, yes, but I think it looks slightly more deliberate than the pseudo-mullet. And now I play the waiting game.

As a girl of nineteen (I'm still not at the point where I want to call myself a woman), I think my life is seriously lacking. That is to say, here's a list of things I think I'm really supposed to own by now or come into possession of within the next five years:

a classy black dress (as opposed to my trashy black dress), because despite my love for color... I look good in black
sandals of some sort/warm weather shoes, although this would involve getting over my aversion to feet
a leather jacket, made from cows
pearls/gold/real jewelry, preferably involving sapphires
a neutral trench coat
boots that are not galoshes
a dress skirt (I realize this might make no sense to anyone but me. I mean "dress skirt" the way people say "dress pants." A skirt that is dressy, preferably hits at the knee, and looks expensive. And can be worn outside of holiday parties.)
a serious bag, not this canvas tote business I've gotten so used to
a vintage brooch (the bigger the better)
a black or gray zip-up hoodie, for schlepping

On the other hand, two items that somehow show up on every Wardrobe Basics list that will not make their way into my closet any time soon: pencil skirts and dress pants.

To start off, here are some sandals that don't make me cringe. For the record, I may have atrocious taste in sandals because I never actually wear them. Please forgive me.

Things I Love: October 09!

Dear October,

You've been so good to me, I was just wondering, and I hope I'm not being too forward, can I buy you a drink? If not, please take this humble list of Reasons I Love You:

GLEE and its supremely attractive cast, and by supremely attractive cast, I really mean HOT FOR TEACHER [via]

Um, wouldn't you?

Oh, yeah. You know you would.

Connie for this: "According to my gsi i am physiologically incapable of breathy voice. According to connie, Goodbye phone sex career"
admitting that I can't pronounce Mihran's name
Danielle, Ben-jammin', Lee, Jeffff, Danica, Stu-art, Maddy, Jake, Bridget, Matt, Eli, Catalina, Rose, and Michelle!
dinner with the apartmentmates at Kabab and Karahi
the moment in class when Chris made Kevin and Eli get so up in each other's faces their noses were touching
Kim and Minnie and Vivian for the cinnamon apple cake and Harry Potter t-shirt

Best apartmentmates ever? Obvz.

the anonymity of wandering around downtown San Francisco
Lincoln for being my BART map
"crantastic!"
running into Rose in the bathroom... which is an awkward place to have a girlcrush
getting a perfect score on my Ling 100 midterm, what?
the English infix in "Alafuckingbama"
that my professor totally remembered that I emailed him a question at the beginning of the semester because it probably skewed his perception of my oral exam performance in my favor
Listening to the worst playlist ever. I will let the album covers speak for themselves.

trying Afghan food, which I thought tasted like a cross between Indian and Mexican
seeing Rent live (cross that off my life to-do list!)
Connie and revelations
realizing I'm not doing that poorly in linguistics
my newest pothead acquaintance, Mihran, who laughed so hard at this MLIA, I'm starting to doubt he's really from East LA
seeing how everyone's clothing changes with the weather
the therapy of the physical labor that is sewing
letters from TK
people who remind me that flirting can be warm and slow and not aggressive
Kim accidentally preheating the oven with a pan of brownies already inside
having some computer programming background because it made doing my homework sort of heroically fast
seeing Ben (The Ben, not Ben-jammin') on the street and being so in awe I couldn't even run after him to say hi and instead stood there, mouth agape, for a good fifteen seconds after he passed out of view
making pumpkin pancakes with Kim (which was really just me pouring batter into the pan and Kim doing all the work)
my apartment's failed Orionids expedition at 3:45 AM

We are the epitome of style. Minnie is not in any of these pictures because I don't have one of the back of her head. Sorry, roomie! But thanks for taking the last photo!

doing some crying that has been needing to get done for a long, long time (like eleven years long)
my intro to acting class, and our scenes, especially the ones from Beirut and Below the Belt
waking up awake
getting a verbal "good work," because I haven't heard it for at least a year and I feel like such a child, being pleased about it
the internet for telling me that cold spoons would alleviate puffy eyes
my acting instructor for being a teacher and a mentor
this mysterious diagram in Kim's Chinese textbook

Above, a page of phrases about weather in Chinese.

Above, closeup of middle picture depicting a mystery weather phenomenon.

having an obnoxiously loud yelled conversation with Lee across traffic-heavy College Avenue
the honeysuckle (?) growing between Wheeler and Barrows, which, to me, smells like sex just waiting to happen
my grandma for teaching me how to iron men's dress shirts
waffles with peanut butter
Eli, because I love it when people are pleased to see me
being excited for linguistics classes next semester, partly in thanks to DLam
Kim, Minnie, Vivian, Lisa, Kathleen, Jessie, Lincoln, Connie, Shelby, Tony, Kyo, Jeffrey, Daniel, Liz, Joce, Alice, TK, Sunshine, and various other people who are making my life beautiful and very much worth my time

And now I bring you October's Lookers: The Awkward Edition! Because nothing says awkward like realizing Taylor Babyface Lautner's still too young for it to be legal. As the source of the last picture puts it, "Seriously, this kid needs a pedobear watermark or something."

Oh, but I would.

feeling scandinavian

Checklist! Am I Scandinavian Yet?

Congratulations, Self! You can now be photographed for CopenhagenStreetStyle or Oslostil (which is on hiatus)!

I rather enjoy my pantslessness and must admit that leggings are really comfortable (but not warm).
