Wisdom Teeth Are For Losers
I thought that having a legitimate reason for not going out on New Years would keep me from feeling bad about it, but I was wrong. Of course I have to get invited to possibly fun parties that aren’t going to happen because of my sore mouth and inability to drive (pain meds).
Laaaame. I can’t wait for the 3rd - I’m going to a burlesque! Hopefully it’ll be awesome enough...

The past few days I’ve been eating christmas cookies nonstop. As a result, I keep finding crumbs in my bra. It’s uncomfortable and kind of gross and I think it would stop happening as much if I only started eating cookies standing up (as opposed to in bed, on tumblr). Maybe I’ll get a life tomorrow.

I was twirling bits of my hair when my fingers encountered what appeared to be a giant glob of hairspray towards the front. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was SYRUP from breakfast. What was I doing all day, not to notice this? What was I doing at breakfast to dip a part of my hair in syup?

Book Pairings
When I finally read Rosencrantz and Guildensern are dead, I couldn’t help thinking that if someone ever gave the play to me as a gift, with Hamlet, I would instantly love them. It’s an obvious combination, but let me just bring up the fact that people don’t usually gift books in pairs. One book is nice, but TWO TOGETHER requires thought. And people don’t read.
10 things I am going to do over winter break:
1. Get a haircut. I’m pretty excited about this, as I haven’t gotten one since summer.
2. Reread On the Road.
3. Drink lots of coffee.
4. Read The Razor’s Edge.
5. Attempt to read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (or at least begin it).
6. Make this dress.
7. Take lots of pictures.
8. Get copies made of my favorite pics of my grandparents to send to...
