quarter life.
i turned 25 on thursday.
the bad:
- trip to the dmv (on the bright side, i aced the sign test and had a nice evaluator).
- my doctor called with some unhappy blood test results. going to see a specialist, yadda yadda.
- a massage that was great at first but made me like i’d been punched all over after. (thanks, autoimmune disorders!).
- my mom crying about my health issues.
the good:
- I DON’T HAVE CELIAC DISEASE AND I CAN EAT ALL THE BREAD I WANT. important.
- dinner at toast. lentil soup + crostini + pinot grigio. favorite restaurant in durham, hands down. i love bringing new people there.
- beers at fullsteam. chatham county paw paw belgian ale, cream ale, and working man’s lunch. impressions, accents, pictures, and an incredible chocolate cake by akiva.
- one drink at motorco (reunited with my ex-boyfriend, tom collins. i love gin.). 90s alternative rock. yelling pop culture references. bringing my friend circles closer together. i’m glad i let go of so many acquaintances. i have kick ass friends.
- sushi lunch on friday, courtesy of my littlest sister.
- i asked a friend for mentorship, and got it.
and photos:

working man’s lunch and chocolate cake, a match made in heaven.

a staring contest with tomwithnoh.

classy.

a normal picture.
there’s discontent bubbling beneath the surface, but i think i’ll handle it well this year.

Why do you hate ted? Is it cause he whines a lot?

While 18K is not insignificant, feel free to multiply that by seven…
tomwithnoh asked: So. Um. Uh. Are you.... SASSY?
mostly on the internet, but i constantly think many sassy thoughts and keep them to myself.

SASSY.

“I could watch this for hours.” Wellp, I actually did. So much for sleeping. Now everything is a shiny technicolor Paul Rudd nightmare.
nightmare, or dream come true?

Man, I’d gladly take the $70 and disdain (insert celebrity here) for two hours, but paying in order to not enjoy it? That sounds like going to a four-day-long Michael Bay movie marathon.
i mean, i love a glitter party, but not a $70 glitter party. (and not including drinks and my inevitable ke$ha-themed costume).
ugh, michael bay.
