compliment of the day

"your hands are exactly like jasmine's hands in aladdin when she is holding the apple."

yes, i am a princess. some girls down the hall were watching "a little princess" the other night and all i had to do was hear angelic liesel matthews crying and yelling for her papa and i was teary-eyed. ah, how i enjoy a good classic. anyways, then i got over it and devoured a whole large order box of cinnamon sticks (+ frosting) with amy while playing themed catch phrase in a room with bodies crammed everywhere. we were laughing hysterically at ambiguous sexual references and i felt like we were in an inappropriate version of one of those "get together games" television commercials where there are lots of people sitting around a table fake laughing at nothing.

one of my favorite things is this, right now, me relaxing and slacking off and day(maybe night?)dreaming. the best thing about it is that this do-wonderful-nothing time was set aside in advance. planning free time might sound a bit anal bitchass retentive, but knowing that i have approximately one hour to do whatever i want without feeling like i should be doing something else, makes me so happy. setting aside days like this are nice too, but these tiny windows of nothingness excitement can't be beat.

in art class, we just started the project that i hate the most, i can already tell. our assignment is this: draw a 18x24" abstract/symbolic drawing of someone you know. okay... um, i do not do abstract. i already tried the don't-think-just-draw-what-you-feel method and let's just say, chloe could do better. seriously. i already picked the someone, but they are complicated (who isn't? okay just kidding) and i can't do forced symbolism. i think i will just draw squiggly lines and circles and squares and other shapes that i know... until i am able to pass it off as a sketch by kandinsky. art class = tougher than any molecular biochemistry number-crunching type class EVER.

i think, no, i KNOW that i need contacts. it's getting so bad that i cannot recognize people walking towards me, so i will enthusiastically wave to strangers or ignore my friends, and also, if i realize that i have forgotten my glasses when i get to lecture, i pretty much give up right then and there and leave. the problem is, i'm way too stubborn (and lazy) to take the necessary steps in order to get contacts. where do i go? do i need a professional eye exam first? how much do they cost? how the hell do i put them in? where do i get that squirty contact solution and a cute little contact case? ah! i feel like the slowpoke kid who everyone laughed at because they got braces 4 years too late at the end of high school, after all the other "braces" kids got them on/off in middle school. psh, who needs contacts? seeing is overrated.
