BEST FRENZ.

PS: As of May 17th, I have owned the furry retard for four years. Homegirl is my best friend, my sometimes pillow, my personal alarm clock, a Chewbacca impersonator, and my constant companion.

“Be of service. You are taking your degree into a society dominated by concentrated poverty and a vulnerable middle class, a society where it is harder to pay for education, harder to find a job, harder to buy a house and harder to hold onto those things even if you manage to get them. You are entering adulthood during a period of mass incarceration and near constant war. There is a lot for you to do. Service is the rent you pay for the space you take up on the earth, and as a relatively privileged American you take up a lot of space. We are the most consuming, polluting, wasteful nation on earth. So your rent is steep. Pay it with service.”

- Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry’s advice to Class of 2013 (via bitchwhoisyou)
YES YES YES.

12 mile bike ride before working for 9 hours?

Yeah, sure.

I’m sure my legs won’t be sore or tired at all.

these go to 11.: things i miss:

egryan:

- knowing someone gives a shit, and truly giving a shit about another person.

- a person who understands the significance of daily minutiae without fucking 300 backstories. (ie: I saw a woman named Shirl. And I don’t have to explain the whole goddamn Shirl story). Seriously it gets exhausting. I…

I had a post in my drafts folder for the better part of a year and a half that detailed things I missed about my ex. Or rather, things I missed about sharing a routine/a life with another person, with a handful of things in there that I missed about him.

I deleted it a year and a half ago. It made me feel better about a lot of things to do so.

“I am about to have a panic attack when I suddenly remember when Gwyneth went to a dinner party in America and someone asked her what kind of jeans she was wearing and she thought to herself, “I have to get back to Europe.” America is the worst. I say nothing about anyone’s jeans, even though I was literally just going to ask everyone about their jeans.”

Dane and I watched Jiro Dreams Of Sushi last night.

Guys, I wish I cared about being good at ANYTHING as much as Jiro cares about mastering sushi. Holy shit.

So far today I have:

Woken up at 10am
Whined about it
Eaten a bagel
Biked to Green City Market
Saw some mutant-sized asparagus
Biked to Publican Quality Meats
Eaten a sammich
Eaten a donut from Glazed & Infused
Biked home
Showered
Gone to work (currently)

IS THIS WHAT KIND OF THINGS NORMAL PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY WORK NORMAL HOURS AND AUTOMATICALLY WAKE UP EARLY/BEFORE 1PM?

I read this too fast and thought it said “Wake up and smell the poutine.”

And now I want poutine.

All the garlic on all the things, forever.

Some thoughts and also bullet points:

I just bought my dog a new bag of dog food.
It was $60.
SIXTY. DOLLARS.
It smells like fish.
Her breath is going to smell like dog breath and fish for the next…however long it takes her to go through this shit.
Gross.
I am going to be working for pretty much the next 48 hours with zero break and I am not not not looking forward to it.
This includes Mothers’ Day Brunch.
Shoot me in the face.
On the plus side, working all the time means no time to spend monies.
On the minus side, working for ~48 hours is awful.
My roommate sucks and leaves passive aggressive notes around the house instead of actually talking about anything like a grown up.
But here I am bitching about him on the internet, so I guess I’m no better.

Apparently the Binny’s in the south loop (by the UIC campus) has a bar and that bar has posted my “How To Be A Good Bar Regular” article and this knowledge is making my whole day. :)
