blog it out

ugh! it's barely noon and i'm already in a pissie mood. i woke up early this morning and drove to my doctor to get a shot, only to find out that i won't be able to get the last of the three injections on time and therefore, it will defeat the purpose of the first two. i guess theres no point in getting needles stuck in me for nothing. vaccines are silly, but necessary. the stupid thing is that i was excited about it.

on a brighter note, after leaving the office all bummed and blue without a hello kitty band-aid or blow-pop, i went to two of my happy places (the ones in norfolk, anyway, tysons is a bit of a hike) costco and target. i'm madly excited about the dvd's i got at costco.. instant immersion for french and italian, the crash course edition. i know it sounds silly, but for $5 each, who would really pass that up? i considered buying the spanish one too, since i'm an absolute idiot and all, but then i caught a wicked case of shame and thought about how much i'd get made fun of by my own familia if i got it. besides, a better crash course is going home for the weekend or watching telemundo. pass.

target was kind of weak.. i bought new deodorant which i'm proud to say i'm wearing right now. it sort of smells like a baby's powdered ass. i don't quite like it, but i'll give it a whirl and see how it holds up after my elliptical excursion. i really don't like girly scented things, but i like to smell nice. i don't know, all that flowery laundry detergent and body-splashy stuff makes me itch. my skin is so anti-social. it's quite a battle. i miss my old deodorant already.

still super excited about the 365days challenge on flikr! it's brought out the blog-geek in me once again. i stopped blogging because i was behaving wayyy too inappropriately to talk about it, but now that i have something new to blog about, i can still behave like an ass and blog about other stuff. it's a sweet deal.. and so is sort of being able to still do the middle splits (while holding a camera, hello!).. not bad for a girl who used to dance.. like 12 years ago! hey, at least i can still do it on my right side. linda's academy would be so proud of their fat little ballerina...

my mom wanted me to be a twin..

can you imagine the mess that would have been?

anyways, it's not that i'm a traitor to google.. but i joined yahoo's flikr today after receiving an e-mail from my snap-shot happy non-twin sister and joined a group that challenges it's members to take a self-portrait every day for 365 days. i'm madly in love with the idea. a slightly legitimate excuse to take silly pictures of myself? sold.

sooo... i spent my afternoon taking self-portraits. this is what happens when you don't have class until 7 p.m. on a monday night. don't get me wrong, i did finance homework, went to the bank, to the gym, and tried on my halloween costume (or lack of!) all before then too, but sometime after all of that and before my 3 hour auditing class, i got a wicked case of camera A.D.D.

since you can only post one picture to the group per day, i'm blogging some of the reject pictures i took that didn't make my final cut. if it's not obvious, i'm in my bathroom, sitting on the little tiny excuse for a sink that barely holds my blow dryer and leading up around my mirror.
not bad for day one....
