i must admit. i had mcdonalds today. something i havent done in quiteeee some time (like a year or something wild like that). i think i ate the chicken nuggets in about 23 seconds and the fries is 6.

and i feel no remorse.

i have been feeling like a bad friend lately. sometimes i lose track of how long its been since I call to catch up with friends that live far away. people get busy. and it sucks to say "ive been busy" but sometimes its just plain true. being an adult is fast, and it seems like mornings turn into night far too quickly. but i am going to make a much bigger effort, this i promise.

well, its about that time. people eat undisclosed amounts of mashed potatoes (me) on thanksgiving. and then its Christmas shopping mode. and for me, i always want to have the most super fantastical gift with crazy amounts of meaning and thought. to let someone know, hey, i really listen to you when you talk about your wants and needs.

but sometimes. i have no super fantastical ideas. in fact, i have none. but this happens every year. and i always want to do something handmade and uber special, a gift that someone will never want to part with. but that takes timeeee. and i feel like there is never any timeeee. im sure you all know the feeling. ah, at times i wish i was a banker and not a graphic designer, way less pressure to have super fantastical, creative ideas.

etc.

i am so happy and in love with my nerdy/adorable boyfriend. he takes good care of me. and sometimes i get forehead kisses, and those are divine. ok ok ok, ill stop....but seriously, love is such a great feeling. and i had to get through a few assholes to get there.

wanna know a secret? okay this is gross, well i dont think so, but you might. i am obsessed with popping zits. eeek i know. but i found Krissy, my dear friend since middle school who ALSO shares this strange love. so we sometimes try to investigate each other's backs for pimples. sadly, we dont have any lately (am i really complaining about this??)....its fun people, you KNOW it is.

please dont think im so completely weird and shun me.

my hair is upset with me. i haven't been decorating it with jewels and bands and bows and gems lately. i'm in a hair depression lately. i just want something NEW, but I dont want to cut it. Is this even possible?? And please dont say...just put layers in it, bri....no, tried that, but thank you for the advice.

I need a cool hairstyle where I can put absolutely no effort into it in the mornings. is that SO HARD?

welp, there i am. and i still got chub cheeks to this day. luckily, i don't have an Edward Scissorhand haircut now (thanks mom). bright & smiley can be very misleading. i was a major brat. i was sassy and had to be the center of attention. sure glad things have changed since then
