My sister wrote this about me! She is the sweetest woman I know!
1. She’s my sister, my only one. It’s a blood thing, you know? We have similar traits, mannerisms, etc. Most importantly though, we have the same parents. She’s the only person in the world who truly understands this statements, “So, mom’s being crazy today…just fyi” or “Don’t worry about it; it’s…

tw: rape
Let’s talk about rape for a moment. Rape is not what George Lucas did to your childhood. Rape is not what happens when a sports team beats another sports team by a wide margin. Rape is not what happens when your electric bill is higher this month than it was last month. Rape is when a person violates another person in the most despicable, degrading way imaginable and among the myriad of terrible things humans can do to one another, rape is among the worst. I think the casual misappropriation of the concept of rape extending all the way to its widespread comical usage is disgusting even by Internet standards. Off my chest.

i found a taiwanese food recipe tumblr
UH. I want to make everything in it, especially Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. I want it so much. I want the smells, I want the spice, I want the slippery noodles in my mouth. But, as I was looking at the recipes for all the delicious foods, I realized that lots of the ingredients I need aren’t sold anywhere around my small, middle of Illinois town.
“We are watching the beginnings of the defiant self-assertion of a new generation of Americans, a generation who are looking forward to finishing their education with no jobs, no future, but still saddled with enormous and unforgivable debt. Most, I found, were of working-class or otherwise modest backgrounds, kids who did exactly what they were told they should: studied, got into college, and are now not just being punished for it, but humiliated – faced with a life of being treated as deadbeats, moral reprobates.”

i gots the employment (sort of)
Today was a pretty big day. As in, I got two jobs. One is an unpaid internship in the education department of a museum about half an hour from my school. I’ll be working on a really cool project about digitizing images and updating an art history education program aimed at middle school students. And, my fellowship advisor asked me to be a research assistant for her book! I’ll be able to choose my own hours (max 20 hours a week), and I will get paid! ca$h money, baby! Plus, she said she would put me in the acknowledgment section of her book, which is pretty cool.
I am finally employed! And I don’t even have to work at a grocery store. I’m so happy! Now I am drinking wine out of a coffee mug and watch GhostHunters with my boyfriend’s roommate.
e.t.a. And now my boyfriend’s other roommate is making wontons. a delicious, boozy evening!
“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest and best things you will ever do.”
