I almost forgot.

Things I was thankful for in May:

• watermelon via Marc, with extra thanks because Mariah got really excited when I told her we had watermelon in our fridge
  
• dyeing Nuri's hair, because even if he ended up looking like a blond hedgehog, he looked like a festive blond hedgehog, and I haven't seen him for a while
  
• sleeping with no pants on and not being judged for it
  
• babies, because we don't get them around much in college, and I love laughing babies
  
• Amman during my supermassive black hole headache
  
• skipping logic lecture and being about thirty times more productive because of it
  
• Jessie! With exclamation points! Because she is that exciting!
  
• Ma-ri-ah, like you wouldn't believe
  
• Evan, who I forgot existed and is, indeed, still a total stud
  
• Special Topics in Calamity Physics
• blisters from swinging on monkey bars at the playground
• linguistics, because it is so painless to study
• taking this relaxation thing really, really seriously (...and watching Spring Awakening videos for two hours to make it official that I was done studying for ESPM)
  
• Jergens Daily Glow, because my pasty legs never looked this healthy and smelled so good
  
• the pigeon that landed in our windowsill, because it proves that under pressure, I don't think; I scream
  
• bralessness
• Lincoln for not screwing up my summer registration (he screwed it up for someone else with almost the same ID as I have)
  
• Nude Sushi
• PopCo
• Bryan for being so convinced that Crossroads' serving orange chicken was a sign that God loves him and fate is on his side
  
• Speaker for the Dead
• chocolate milk at a greasy diner
  
• my mother, my mother, my mother, because I am a child
  
• that redic-ly, male-model-cute guy making eyes at me near bloomingdale's
• Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
• Rose, who, worrisomely, I think is totally hot
• Kite Runner
• having a mother who goes out early in the morning to buy Granny Smith apples and fruit juice because you mentioned a craving for them the night before
• Turkish coffee ice cream from Polly Ann's
• Auntie Imelda's curry
• rediscovering the utter MAGIC that is Harry Potter
  
• garage and estate sales, because I didn't realize how much I missed this
• the ridiculously expensive, free dinner with ridiculously expensive people thanks to Philip
• CLAY POT, which is totally my version of comfort food

TOTALLY CRUSHED

If I wait to see Spring Awakening when it comes back to the West Coast, it will be missing Blake Bashoff and Kyle Riabko and Ben Moss. In fact, if I don't make my way to Louisville, Baltimore, or Philadelphia before June is over, the cast will have already lost Blake (so I hear). And the whole point would have been to see the National Tour cast, who are mind-blowing.

...Cry with me, children.

[EDIT: It will be missing only Kyle after June, according to Pun of the Spring Awakening National Tour Cast blog, Totally Trucked. I will keep this in mind. Although by November, when they'll be in Sacramento and Costa Mesa (which are both reasonably close), Ben Moss will be gone and at Harvard. And I do love me some Ben Moss. But still! I will wait and see how my mother feels about jetsetting...]

[EDIT: ...Did I mention how AWESOME Pun commenting was?!]

[EDIT: Did I mention how untalented the talented YOUNG cast makes me feel?]

also

for the record, the day I cut my hair, I went back to shampoo, every fourth day, until yesterday, when I baking soda'd again. I don't know how this is going, really. Short hair means grease is sort of welcome, for styling purposes.

Justin

This is what happened to me today. I was about to spread jam on my toast. When the bottom of the jam jar came off. Cleanly. What the hell?

As you can see, there are TWO openings in the jam jar (not to mention no jam left in the jar, as it splattered all over the floor while I stood staring dumbly at the BOTTOMLESS JAR in my hand).

Speaking of jam, I really miss when Justin used to work at that jam place and always got us free, extremely expensive jam...

Today I started Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, since I finished Slaughterhouse-Five yesterday. (Scratch that off the life to-do list.)

Also, I like waking up to inspect my bedhead. The joys of short hair!

Also, I think when I get bored of my hair, I can just cut enough to expose my ears, and I will feel like a new man my hair is totally different.

Also, I just realized that even though I want to start spending now, I can't, because after I pay my credit card bill, my checking account balance will be pitifully low.

Mark your calendars!

Let today henceforth forever be known as The Day Fazed-Girl Figured Out What People Meant When They Said To Use A Safety Pin To Thread Elastic Through An Elastic-Waistband-Skirt Tube, Then Felt Stupid Because It Was Obscenely Simple, But She Is The Type To Not Notice Obvious Things Like That.

broken

I broke my shopping ban on Saturday. (Well, technically, I didn't because I said "Don't buy any clothing or accessories for yourself until June 1, 2009. (But recognize the exceptions.)" and I think this counts as an exception.)

Again, overpriced. But, um, I could care very little less because 1940s clip-ons?!

Thank you, estate sale. Whoever used to live there, you were probably an amazing person to have owned these.

And the cheaper ones, which, in retrospect, blend into my ears and make them look huge and misshapen.

Above, earrings: vintage. Coat: delia's. Skinny black pants: GAP, gift. Shoes: Harajuku Lovers via Nordstrom Rack.

Hee-hee. Hollyhock. There was also a green pair that I did not buy. But I can't find Bohmer online... the internet has failed me twice now... Why have you forsaken me?
