Being self motivated is such a chore. I'm climbing chain link fences and running for the train, but mostly I'm spending an embarrassing amount of time on the internet.

I got my bottom braces yesterday! Today I’ve eaten: a banana, tea-soggied biscuits, vegetable juice(it tastes like cold soup), sweet potato and lentil soup, and a cup of milo. Three of these things are liquid and all I’ve really wanted all day is some toast. It feels like there is too much stuff in my mouth, also my tongue is all cut up.

I think Yoni Wolf is haunting me. I went for a walk around my block and I saw 34 Jacaranda trees. It was raining, but in a kind of way that didn’t make a big deal about itself. Not drizzling, I could feel the drops. It was just slowly making the world wet, insidious but not sinister. I could smell dinners and wet cement.
The entire time I had ‘Against Me’ playing in my head and I don’t know what kind of mood I am in, or if anything right now is good or bad because I’m just hanging out for next week.

Beirut - Rhineland (Heartland)

Beirut was great for studying for Modern History! I talked about the Rhine a bunch in one of my essays today because Hitler totally ignored the Treaty of Versailles and occupied that shit in 1935 when it was meant to be a neutral, de-armed buffer between France and Germany. The occupation was a test of what the Allied powers would do and because they took no action Hitler took it as an OK to start invadin’ other countries and it’s seen as the official start of the use of the policy of Appeasement.

Appeasement kinda started world war two and I could write more but people don’t care so listen to the song and think about how sweet hanging out in some pretty French countryside would be.

Wow. I just got the sales report for this - if you don’t have a ticket, and you want to go, you need to be pretty damn fast about it. Couldn’t be happier that it’s selling so well though…! Please reblog if you like.

Got mine (H) also I am almost completely out of debt and STILL have some money saved for Brisbane in three weeks.

Pulling My Weight

ninefruits:

With summer fast approaching, I thought I’d try and do some sit-ups so to flatten my stomach. I’ve put on a bit of weight over the winter and I was a bit worried about how I’m going to look out on the beach in my bikini. In fact, I’ve put on so much weight that I actually now have a belly button! As opposed to before. Well, unfortunately, the sit-ups weren’t such a good idea. Actually, I don’t even know why I’m using the plural form of the term. There wasn’t even a sit-up! I’d forgotten about my fucked back, seeming it hadn’t been so bad the past few days. As soon as I started to lift my head for the first sit-up there was a awful twinge in my lower back and I let out an rather unmanly squeal. So with Plan A a failure, I’m going to have to resort to Plan B, which is hopefully catching some sort of illness when I go to India in a few weeks and shedding the extra flab in a more crude manner. Although with my never-get-sick immune system I don’t fancy my chances. Looks like I’m going to have to disappoint all those looking forward to seeing a bit of skin from me this summer.

I’m doing sit ups! Not so much for cosmetic purposes just because I feel a bit like a fat slob after all this sitting at my desk for hours a day procrastudying. Also relevant: once I had a really bad flu and I vomited everything I ingested including water for about 8 days and lost a scary amount of weight in the following recovery period. Another thing! When I was talking to my engrishy Assyrian boss about how much braces hurt to start with she was all ‘Screw you, you’re going to get even more skinny cause you can’t eat’ and I was like ‘Bitch please! I’m all about soups anyway.’

Talk about yourself Tuesday.
