I was an asian stegosaurus for Halloween. What were you?
Post-Halloween days have consisted of:
I’ve also decided to buy a sewing machine with the extra PayPal money I have.
Life has gone vroom vroom, and rainbows are practically coming out of my eyes, as evidenced my this picture I took with my newly-acquired & very lovely iPhone (If you are reading this, Thank you, Cala!).
The crucial word right now is lots — I am reading lots and lots, staring at the computer quite a lot, and thinking somewhat a lot, and lots more. However, I wish I could say I was finishing a lot. I wish I could say I’ve finished that zine with Rei’s story, and I wish I could say I have been drawing a lot. I guess I’ll have time on the Thanksgiving break, though I will probably be terribly lazy and sit around thinking about big turkey legs instead.
(I’m stealing the “big turkey leg” quote from one of my roommates, BigZom25, whose picture is featured above)

This is me with my new melodica. Unfortunately, I have discovered that I am a crummy melodica player, but I am trying.
It’s my favorite season – so much anticipation heightened by the crisp air and crunchy leaves. This year, I suppose the crispness and the (slightly) crunchy leaves have spurred some musical energy in me — I’ve been playing a lot more ukulele, kazoo, and got a few toy instruments, and I’ve been writing some songs that perhaps one day I will put up once I get over my shyness.
Having had some extra money in Paypal, I purchased a melodica on impulse. Of course, despite this recent purchase and being the greedy little girl that I am, I am currently daydreaming about loop pedals and Telecasters.
Otherwise, this new October has found me in a flurry making mountains out of colored paper to decorate my wall. I moved in about a month ago, so I suppose I have had to time to make myself a proper room, and yet these mountains are solitary figures on my wall. This means this week will be about better time management and finally moving out of my sandbox bed, hopefully.
PS I got a job at FashionablyMarketing.Me! I will bury myself in fashion blogs as well as academic essays like the good chinchilla that I am…

Let me share a few textual tidbits about adjustment:
a) My body/brain has fully adjusted to my time zone, and now I go to sleep at four in the morning like I used to. This is an example of something in between Good Adjustment and Bad Adjustment.
b) My brain/mouth/limbs have not adjusted to having awkwardness. If they did adjust, I wouldn’t be awkward anymore, I guess. This is an example of Bad Adjustment.
c) Yesterday, I realized that I can actually sleep in my new sandbox bed for more than four hours at a time, though I cough when sand gets stuck in my nose and mouth sometimes. This is an example of mostly Good Adjustment.
