“What the f*** are you doing? Going to bed at 6 am is unacceptable. Last night...”
– My body and brain, in reference to my sleep schedule, my procrastination, and my lack of exercise in the last week and a half because of exams.
Indecision
I am not a person of strong convictions, big plans, or specific goals, beyond enjoying what I do, and being good at it to some degree, be it academics, extracurriculars, or randomly taking up instruments (now adding banjo to guitar, piano, percussion, and a little trombone—all decided spontaneously and because the opportunity arose). I tend to follow my whims and impulses, and once I...

Really cool, or really terrifying?
Both, I think.
Blog name
whatkindofgirl just asked me if I named my blog after the band Giraffes? Giraffes! which her brother is into. I didn’t. To clarify, I named my blog after a children’s book my roommate and I and some of our mutual friends were a little obsessed with at the time of the blog’s birth.

Addendum: I checked...

All of my friends have crazy nightmares.
And they blog about them.
When I do have dreams, they are usually too convoluted and bizarre to describe, too disturbing or conversely too boring to share, or involve having devastating shouting matches with my family about one thing or another (usually my mom or sister or both, but my dad makes appearances sometimes too) in which we end up hating each other forever until I wake up.

Why can’t we all just get along?
Zappos is the shit
They sent my shoes next day air at no cost to me, and I chose the Asics/Onitsuka Tigers. They are hot. However, nothing can ever truly replace what I now regularly refer to as my hobo shoes, those magical shoes that were the most comfortable shoes I ever wore from the second I tried them on in the store and even now, but they are too close to becoming scraps of leather, mesh, and rubber to wear...
Hobo toes and sister woes
Found some shoes that I liked on Zappos, and I bought them to replace the ones I’ve been wearing for probably 3 years, which I have been meaning to replace but I have so much trouble with my big feet and my love for these perfect shoes which I’m pretty sure Puma made only one pair of because I have never been able to find them anywhere since the day I bought them. I just...
