I’m creating lists of excesses and needs in the world. excesses like “empty shopping malls” and “dilapidated shipping containers.” needs like “community gathering spaces” and “opportunities to learn hands-on job skills.” some time I’ll see what matches on these lists, and change things

today:

  • praise is just as satisfying when it’s for someone you love
  • digging frantically through a messy, overfull purse for shit was not something 14-year-old me ever imagined I’d do
  • replied to a strangely fortuitous message from an ex-friend of an ex-friend
  • wrote ten short poems because why not
  • landed my first new freelancing job in a year (and it’s gonna be epic)
  • as always, woke up next to my best friend <3

why it’s a decent Tuesday

DESPITE A TERRIBLE HEAD COLD

achy kitteh is achy

ANYWAYS

  • green tea is palatable with a splash of orange strawberry Sunny D
  • I’m probably going to be Britta for Halloween
  • or maybe Sexy Ten
  • which would consist of tying and belting and cutting all of the necessary pinstripe pieces
  • (but not the Converse because I would want those intact for later)
  • Jake said we should go camping out of the blue
  • I love this idea because I’ve needed me some great outdoors
  • despite having Cold Voice (© me since 1988), I managed to belt out a decent rendition of “Defying Gravity” at the bus stop

  • leftover Thai food for lunch!
  • someone wrote “Good Morning August! :)” on my whiteboard
  • making me feel, of course, actually wanted at work
  • a very new feeling
  • anyway
  • watched some Arrested Development last night
  • plan to watch some more tonight
  • THE END
