Exit, pursued by a bear

the one where I try to write and like pretty things
I’m usually all grumpy about birthdays and materialism and don’t even really celebrate it, but my parents surprised me with this a couple weeks early. I think my heart just grew 300 sizes.

“Friend-zoning” as a concept is such a pile of poop

I’m reclaiming the term for actually friendly purposes

Unfucking My Closet

Before:

Six 15/3s later (sans flash, my bad):

Plus, bonus top shelf unfucking!

I feel so accomplished :D.

schweinsty vs. the encroaching clutter

So between relatives, work, stress, and my test next week, I was so, soooo exhausted today (I get tuesdays (or fridays) and sunday off, so my ‘weekend’ is weird) - but I still managed to get a bit of unfucking done.

1. Volcanoed my shower, which had strained itself with visiting family members and was now clogging badly. That shit went down like Popocatepetl.

2. Vacuumed! It was actually really gross; I hadn’t in about a month and there was so much dust and fuzz in the bin-thingy.

3. Worked towards unfucking my bills situation a little bit; if things work out, I will be all caught up with my unpaid bills by the end of this month! :D!

4. Before:

After:

Clothes folded and put away, old shoes organized, new shoes assimilated into the shoe-borg collective, clutter uncluttered and/or disposed of (except for the bag of stuff, which is stuff to be cleaned), and my things set out for tomorrow morning. My desk is still a bit fucked, I’ve got some new books to shelve, my sheets need laundering and dusting must be done, but overall I’m happy with today’s results, esp. given how exhausted I’ve been.

Plz ignore the bra, btw. I only grokked that, being on the chair, it would be in the pic after I’d already taken, uploaded, and put away my camera. In my defense, it is o’fuckaclock in the morning.

Before and afters today. Last night I got home really late and didn’t put away my laundry; I was lazy about cleaning up today, but went to the movies (the Hunger Games is fantastic, btw) and didn’t want to come back to a messy room. Didn’t even take me five minutes (I timed it :P), though I still need to clean up the pile of stuff by my nightstand.

So apparently there was a used bookstore in my city that I didn’t know about until today. And it is awesome. Teeny-tiny little hole-in-the-wall, but, for its size, fantastic. (The two Heinlens I actually got at a Goodwill while thrifting today - also got a couple really cute skirts for 3.50 each. It makes my broke soul happy :D). (Also, the one in plastic is Bring Out Your Dead by J.H. Powell, which I’ve read before and is fantastic).

Re: Unfucking

I have made my bed. And now I’m going to lie in it.
