sf/bay area blogger meetup recap

I would deeply appreciate if the world forgave me for taking so long to post an actual recap (as opposed to this sorry excuse for one) because I have a bad habit of not updating until I've emptied out my camera's guts, which doesn't happen often enough, and always feeling compelled to post everything in chronological order.On Sunday (11/22) I attended the SF Bay Area Blogger Meetup organized by J

major questions

In which I question myself, my direction in life, school in general, my past, and my ability to recognize opportunities. And in which I get rained on. And in which I conclude my day with an epic performance of my monologue.Despite the fact that "I don't know" isn't the kind of answer you want to hear in response to the question "What are you going to do with your degree?" particularly from some

muscle orchestra

What I wore to be the jaw-closing muscles in our class's muscle orchestra, which consisted of my entirely female discussion section alternately raising and lowering posterboard sticks labeled with muscles used in speech as my GSI conducted from his perch atop his desk.Note to self: It is really difficult to turn the pages of a book while wearing mittens.Above, green puff sleeve dress: secondhand

reform

It's a-coming. Just you wait, kids.[EDIT: I'm sorry this is taking so long and is only going to take longer. I never knew Thanksgiving was such an ordeal in this kitchen, as it's my first time helping out with feeding 20+ mouths... but I will be back!

wehearsal

Until I come up with a new layout... here is what I wore to the rehearsal... 'cause that's all I really do with my time.

Otherwise, I look like a mess... and not even a hot mess:V-neck sweater: K-8 uniform. Plaid shirt: grandmother's. Negligible black skirt: secondhand, g

shut up, squib

I don't normally condone the destruction of learning materials, but I defaced the section in my linguistics textbook about words with referents that don't exist because it said unicorns, centaurs, and Quidditch don't exist in the real world. SILLY MUGGLES.

awkward rehearsal, trois + blogger meetup!

Also known as Monday night rehearsal. In which Samantha brings a 1-liter bottle of Listerine to rehearsal out of courtesy for her fellow actor and their sexytime scene, only to discover that her scene partner is feeling even more awkward than she is and that he tries to call the whole thing off. She feels sorry for him and lets him cut the kissing out of the scene while thinking to herself that
