Books read in 2011! I kept a list like this in '09, but was a slacker bitch in '10. TIME TO RESUME GOOD HABITS. The goal is 50 books before 2012, and to ~expand my horizons~ a bit by not just reading YA vampire novels.

JANUARY
1. Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell
Reccommended to me by my mother. Super depressing and full of incest, child abuse and murder. Really well written though, but still. What a way to start '11.

Today I saw a kid in town who was standing at a table, stacking plastic cups over and over again. Apparently this is a thing! There are world championships! Speed stacking. People are so ridiculous, it is awesome.

Goodbye, 2011!
Thanks for the degree and the job, no thanks for the weight gain and total lack of interesting love life. I have high hopes for 2012!

-Joined a gym last week, and finally went to one of the ~group fitness classes~ yesterday. An hour of lifting weights and doing squats. It wasn't so bad at the time, but right now my legs and arms are KILLING ME. So much hurt. Going again tomorrow.

-Was actually kind of sad to hear that Katy Perry and Russell Brand are getting a divorce. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD MAKE IT. I dunno.

-This entry is very short and has no pictures so I am adding this last bullet point.

Today was my first day off in almost two months! I have been working 73 hours a week for the past couple of weeks, and have been exhausted as all hell. But I had my last day at the supermarket yesterday, and am only working 17 hours a week at Ministry of Justice from now on so...... I will be able to sleep a lot! I will also be very poor.

Yesterday I had my second (of 10) tattoo removal session. EVEN MORE PAINFUL THAN THE FIRST TIME, BLED EVERYWHERE. Under the cut is a pic of my tattoo currently. It is only mildly gross. In a few weeks once it has healed I'll do a before/after.

It is Henry's brithday today. He is one year old; officially a proper cat and not just a kitten! Which is great because I hate the word kitten. It was Stella's 2nd birthday two weeks ago. Here is a picture of them curled up on my bed. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER.


Got my learner's license the other day! For years I vowed never to learn how to drive -and the idea is still vaguely unpleasant, but a ridiculous number of jobs require a license, and I will be graduating soon, sooo. Here is a picture of my ~temporary~ license, also on my bed. I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS PIECE OF PAPER.

I kind of don't want anyone to read this entry, lolol. Yet at the same time I do. Super awkward and embarrassing subject matter.

I am mourning the cancellation of Hellcats :( IT WAS SUCH A GOOD SHOW. Exciting storylines + cheerleading routines + an attractive, multiracial cast..........WHY COULDN'T THEY CANCEL GOSSIP GIRL :( OR ONE FUCKING TREE HILL. Why my beloved Hellcats :(


SCHOOL UPDATE: My grades in my discursive psychology class have been really good so far. Leave it to me to like the one area of psychology that... mainstream psychology totally ignores, lol. "we are kind of the outsiders," explained my lecturer. My other psychology classes have always made me a bit uncomfortable with their "this is how men's brains work" "this is how female's brains work" where discursive is more like "THE CONCEPT OF 'MASCULINITY' AND 'FEMININITY' IS JUST A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT." Makes me want to take a bunch of gender studies classes... but of course they were cancelled two years ago :( fml.

Is anyone else watching Game of Thrones? i have found that it is exactly the right combination of decapitation, monsters, incest, political intrigue and dwarfs for me. I am torn between reading the books to find out exactly what happens, or just waiting for each weekly installment.

So far I desperately want Daenerys and Arya to become badass HBICs, and all the Lannisters to die. And dragons. PLEASE MAY THERE BE DRAGONS.
