without you things go hazy.
this week has not been the most wonderful week, but I watched Pride and Prejudice yesterday and I just painted my nails and I’m considering doing something that would be a pretty big deal, definitely not something that I would ordinarily consider, and I haven’t changed my mind about it yet. so. things are pretty good.
if I can’t be good at chemistry, can I at least have a boyfriend?
“no,” says the universe. “no, you cannot.”
so much good happened tonight, mostly in the form of talking to a friend. I’m glad I have a friend who understands me and doesn’t think I’m weird for being so introverted. it’s nice.
the only bad thing about tonight was that I had every intention of studying so now it’s one less day that I’ve studied for my chem test :/ but today we started making crystals, and I have to...

the amount of time I’ve spent organizing my bookmarks on my computer today is almost as embarrassing as the amount of bookmarks that I have.
and then I get irrational about my organizing, like when I’ve just organized my article/blog post folder into various subfolders and then feel sad that now the bookmarks aren’t in the chronological order of when I bookmarked them.

I wish that I were more talented, and smarter, and more motivated, and better looking.

today has not been particularly bad, but I would really love to eat a bunch of ice cream and go to bed early.
(cookie dough ice cream of course)
