here's the mail it never fails to make me wanna wag my tail

and when it comes i wanna wail “maaaaiiil!”

so because i’m bored and i have time in between classes i decided to chronicle today’s mail-opening adventures.

look at all this mail!

some of it is not fun.  cool - a “prestigious honors society” that just wants me to give them lots of money for a resume padder.

oh but this cool sticker will make me want to join!

v-day and b-day cards from my grandmother!

and a birthday card from my momma!

and the award for favorite piece of mail goes to amritamaz <3

——

this reminds me that i need to start writing people back..  and just writing to people in general.  because mail is fun!

you know those days when you feel beautiful, you're in sync with the world around you, you're listening the best music and it's putting a bounce in your step, and you smile wherever you go?

well i’m not having one of those days. 

you know those days when you don’t even want to see your reflection, you hate all the clothing you own, the weather is bringing you down, you can’t get into the rhythm of your day, you feel sick to your stomach for no reason, and nothing seems to make you smile?

yeah, i’m having one of those days.

but fortunately i only know how much these days suck because i’m lucky enough to experience the other first of day from time to time.

fucked by the lottery

so basically, everyone i wanted to room with got awful lottery numbers so chances are we won’t be able to get an apartment together.  so i’m browsing potential other roommates just in case, because i may take living with strangers in an apartment over the quads on livingston, where i’ll probably get stuck if i even GET housing with my number (9250).

anyways, found this while browsing.  felt i had to share it with the world:

Hi, my roommate and I are looking for two people for the Busch apartments. I am very clean and tidy. I like classical music, ballet, reading, painting, drawing, and various other peaceful activities. During all days of the week, I strive to sleep at 9pm and wake up usually around 8-8:30am. I’m in russian club and language conversation groups. Some of my pet peeves include blasting music, people staying up and talking/laughing/partying anytime 10pm-7am, and people who are either too nosy or do not talk at all. I do not enjoy having people over a lot and prefer to go out to socialize. I enjoy being around people who are polite, considerate, respectful, and self-sacrificing. For instance, there are some girls on my floor who do not say greetings, and I find that very rude. I do not like people who drink, pull all-nighters, smoke or do any illegal drugs, or go through my stuff without permission. Although I do not study all the time, I need lots of quiet for thinking and sleeping. Roommates who produce noises that can be heard outside of a closed door are not welcome. All in all, I am looking for someone who is clean, respectful of differences, and has the self-consciousness to clean up after themselves literally and figuratively. We will defintely have fun together!

Inspired by a break up and an excessive number of drinks, Kevin Nguyen becomes an amateur Pokemon designer.

okay so this is pretty great.
