Failure!
I confirmed to do the tumblr challenge w/ Carrie (here) and then a bajillion things have arisen in my way… didn’t have my computer set up for days, behind on work, self-loathing, no internets, etc.
I’m only 5 days late now… wonder if I can over compensate with some long winded, run on sentences and over sharing due to sleep dep? Hopefully Carrie forgives me. I’d still rather try than not.
Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Here I am, sitting on cardboard on the side walk out front of my new place. So haggard. But still I had a beautiful day! This is the first time I had sat down. So pleased to be done on time (1pm.) I moved all morning on no sleep because I haven’t punished myself enough with procrastination. So thankful I had 2 really good movers and 3 amazing friends. It was one of those days where everyone could not shut up about how beeeeautiful it was, felt like summer, but with beautiful October colour. It really felt like a good omen. Everything pulled together perfectly. Poor dudes were sweating bullets. After I met this lil’ new neighbour I drank a beer for lunch and went to work.
I was exhausted at work but met all my deadlines for the day. I had a short, crazy nap on the couch w/ intense dreams, not deep enough into sleep. I woke up just in time, and somehow bullied myself to school. I was late, but the class was locked out… the security guard with the key and I arrived at the same time. Such luck.
I caught up on my RSS feeds and finished the homework for MDIA 1049 in class again. I was going to challenge this class but they still charge you half so I figure maybe I should double check that my self taught methods are valid. So far I’m mostly just learning all the keyboard shortcuts, (born again speed demon) noting new CS5 features, and scheming up a side project to flex for fun.
I followed the Greenest City pitch sessions at the W2 on Twitter until class got out at 8:30. By the time I got down there, it was pretty much over. Seemed good, sorry I couldn’t have been there for the bulk of it. I did a quick lap to sample the fruit offerings then made for my mom’s car, hoping no one would witness me driving away from the event. (Who am I?)
Despite not having slept for nearly 40 hours at this point, I went back to my old place to pick up the last of my straggling belongings. I shared a moment with my most amazing friend and short-lived roommate. I ate some of his pizza. I pressed on.
From here I was happy to collect overdue sister hugs and love, so I went to her place. With warm vibes off her + 2 other great friends, I somehow got sentimental watching “Get Him to the Greek” and couldn’t disengage enough to sleep. Thankfully I had food in the car, the perfect excuse to get home to enjoy my first night in my own new pad.
I got lost in my new space on the way to bed, my old things, out of my mind and touch or sense of time or amplitude of reality. Wat? That’s what. Finally, I slept.
Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.
Welp, I didn’t take any.
Here’s a list of everything with 3rd party imagery.
- Bottled frappuccino from downstairs
- Brunch @ Tereesa’s (Edward: Scrambled eggs, brwn toast, fruit cup)
- Homemade hummus by Kailey. 
- NY striploin, grilled by Bryan.
- Beer. Wine. Beer.
Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
A “first date” sounds v. unappealing, this is me rolling my eyes like a jerk. The best would be to connect with someone who happened to enter the picture somewhere I’m already excited, and reveal more or contribute to that. Hanging out while partaking in activities related to art, design, music, social change, exploration or physical activity is always nice.
Ok ok ok, here.
The most over-the-top, (gag-worthy, but still would leave me floating for weeks) “date” I can come up w/ now is: Hiking the same mountain independently from opposite sides, coming together & doing some partner yoga at the top without saying a word. Then sharing personal reflections, paired over a picnic of tasty treats and throughout our descent together.
rrrrrromance
Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.
Sorry, nope. Failing here too, k.
Have this instead, potentially a future best friend, celebrating the season.
!!!!!
