am i a walrus?............probably not

Ever since I threw salt over the wrong shoulder (Halloween), I've been having the worst luck. That same day I lost my most precious and valuable pin (a.k.a. Anokijig Knighthood), and since then it's been a streak of bad luck. This includes, but is not limited to: my Mom's car battery dying the day she came up for Parent's Day, the ball of my piercing falling out and refusing to go back in, me falling off of a fire hydrant (what? exactly), losing my ID then getting a new one then losing that one as well, spending five hours in school after my nine-hour day is done just to break and re-glue and break and re-glue and break and re-glue my space forms project, and slicing my finger open with scissors. And that's not even half of it.

But I'm thinking that the streak is over. Now, I still haven't found that pin, and that makes me really sad, but I had a pretty alright day. This morning I did the BBBS thing. Isabel and I colored her art project, then talked about gerbils and cousins and A Wrinkle In Time. I drew her in my little pocket sketchbook and she really really liked it, so I let her keep it. I don't know why this made me so happy, but it did. And then I took a cab back to the dorms, had another lovely conversation with another lovely driver, did my laundry, ate crab rangoon, and went to class.

I be crushin'.... as of.. yesterday, I think? It's been a while- maybe a month- since I've dug a fella. But I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl when this certain feller talks to me, and I talked to him twice today. Giddy giddy me.

This weekend Kyra is coming. I think on Saturday, and then staying til Sunday to see Modest Mouse. I simply cannot wait.

This is a picture I took for my Visual Dynamics project. The assignment is to do a Chuck Close type self portrait, so I think this one'll be fly. Yadig?
