Well, hello there! I have stress-eaten so much pizza in the past two weeks I feel I am growing another limb composed of only pepperoni. (Delicious? Or gross? You decide.) I can't promise a full revival with all the singing and dancing of the original until winter break but until then, I'm on twitter and occasionally send misspelled texts. And p to the s, I stand by 'Jennifer's Body' as a suitably funny Diablo Cody movie. Thanks for lowering my expectations, general public. Tags: life: daily

I had my date. And he was sweet and a gentleman and dating is so not going to happen between us. Going into it I had two concerns beyond zomg date. 1. That my lack of attraction from his pic online would be a problem and 2. What if he was annoying? (My one dating experience in high school was with a guy who liked me a lot but who I found really annoying)
So, I went determined to keep an open mind knowing that an awesome personality would make up a lot for the fact that his pic didn't do it for me. I wouldn't want to be judged purely on looks either, especially since I know there are lots of guys who would see me and go "no thanks." Unfortunately, he is the exact opposite of my type; I like them really tall and really thin and he was not that. There I am, looking awesome and he's wearing jeans and Penny Arcade t-shirt. And then I discover almost right away that he has a nervous giggle. At the end of his sentences, he giggles to himself and I haaaate that.
Now, this was not a bad date. We chatted, saw a movie we both enjoyed (Zomebieland: it was awesome) and everything pointed this was a success. But I know that whatever spark there is, whatever it is that makes people want to date each other isn't there on my end. I still feel more strongly about a couple guys at work I'm nursing crushes on. Not wanting to lead him on, I paid for the movie since he got dinner and I knew right away I didn't want to get stuck in the guy pays for everything because it's date since I knew this wasn't something I wanted to continue and I didn't want him to think I was taking advantage. And when he asked to walk me to my door, I said no.
I feel like a shallow judgey asshole but I know there was no spark for me. Still, this was a big step. I usually keep myself at arm's distance from strangers, prefering to hole up alone than to get out in the world.
I went out with a boy I don't know. I made conversation and felt like I was being myself. I learned that this is something I can do, something I can handle. I've never been great at communicating with guys beyond a couple of high school friends - partially because I'm super reserved around people I don't know and partially because I have literally never had many males in my life besides my grampa. Up until now, it's always been dating: not for you. This is something I can do and something I am ready to do. Unfortunately, it's not going to be with this particular guy. Tags: boys, dating

Después de tantos días echándole la culpa de todo, por fin la suerte me acompañó. Conseguí entradas a mitad de precio para "Speaking in tongues" de John Simm el sábado. Más o menos por la misma fila que para el "Inherit the wind" de Kevin Spacey. Y no sólo eso. Ee el teatro ése (el Duke of York), la platea no está inclinada y no se ve muy bien. Bueno, yo sí. El asiento de delante mío estaba vacío :) Y pude ver a John Simm TAN BIEN, que tres días después aún no me lo creo. Al caso. zauberer_sirin , NO vayas a ver la de Spacey. Vaya, igual me equivoco, pero es demasiado clásica y sales con la sensación de "he visto esta cosa como mil veces antes". La gente aplaudía entusiasmada y se levantó de sus asientos. Yo soy muy mía y quiero mucho a Spacey, pero realmente, REALMENTE no era para eso. Así que no me levanté :P Aún sentí que fue más injusto al día siguiente, cuando fui a ver Speaking in tongues y resultó que no sólo John Simm es ASLDJFASDFLKAJSFHLASKDFJHASDKFJ (de hecho, mi corazón perdía un latido cada vez que él volvía a escena, no kidding) sino que la obra era BRILLANTE. ¿La doble escena en el hotel? ¿El principio de la segunda parte? Todo el montaje? Brillante. Pues dos tandas de aplausos y para casa. Terrible. Sólo la sensación de injusticia, claro. Porque me vengo feliz por haberlo visto, rendida a sus pies y muy MUY enamorada de Mr. Simm. Hace unos días, Nathan Fillion escribió en twitter " Goodbye, London. You are a bitch for making me miss you. But a Lady for how I love you. But a bitch, too." Pues eso. Shakespeare's Globe, Royal Albert Hall, Picadilly, Leicester Square, Carnaby Street, Hamleys, King's Cross (aunque he pillado los andenes 9 y 10 en obras y ¿han cambiado la 9 3/4 de sitio o ES ASI DE CUTRE?), Shaftesbury , Hyde Park, y el 221b de Baker Street, os voy a echar de menos.

I wish I could show this to my family. You think President Obama is a Muslim Nazi hell bent on turning America socialist?* This is what you sound like! The Daily Show on Fox News: *No really. They think this. My mom seriously compared Obama to Hitler. For serious. Tags: politics, television
