...to speak Mandarin in the next cube, my brain feverishly insisting on "nigga nigga nigga". "Headaches again?" she asked. "I can't filter out all the noise," I said. "My brain keeps insisting on patterns." My legs felt like someone was pushing back and forth on them, and the power went out, punctuated by a snap noise from my flatscreen and then dimness, as there were still windows, albeit far up ...

... the tower. Then I've been craving to buy a new yukata for the festival and performance in August, plus I have to buy the hat and zori. The yukatas that I want are in between the $80-$120 range, since the patterns are super nice and the obi are colorful and unique. I'm also tempted to buy these mini kanzashi (mini geisha barrettes) but at $55 a pair, I'm not so sure if it's worth it. We'll have ...

NoSkinny is a nice, small store which is only slightly cheaper than Torrid at the Lloyd Center, and some of the dresses are kind of similar (though PATTERNS, PATTERNS, PATTERNS!) I tried on their colored jeans (where as Torrid has colored Twill, which give no give) and they are nice and stretchy. A bit long for me, perhaps 5'4" or so. I ...

You try to tell me that you can heal me, but I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me.

I've been growing tired of not having anywhere to post about my feelings towards my eating patte rn s. I'm not really seen as having a problem with my eating, some of my friends get concerned but for the most part they just shrug it off, which can in fact be a semi-good thing because I don't really want attention drawn to myself, it'll just result in them trying to force me to get back ...
