Saying goodbye to the Birmi, after five beautiful years

Home for the holidays

Spending NYE at Edinborough Gardens with my best new and old friends.

This weekend I’m getting my first ever proper nail art manicure and it’s going to look like one of my favourite ever collections (mary katrantzou fall 2011, obvz).

Also Bronny and I are going to swap beds so I have her storage space and she has my fancy headboard.

Also I have a crush on a supa kewtie who I get to see a lot and it’s really exciting.

Also I just started reading a book about Del Close and 22 pages in it’s already one of the best things I’ve read.

Also I’m eating vietnamese food and seeing the new Todd Solondz movie with my replacement Anton (his brother) tomorrow night.

UMMMMMM my life is perfect?

you come to the end of your menstrual cycle and congratulate yourself for remembering to take tampons to work everyday, and therefore not having to buy unnecessary packs on your lunch breaks, and therefore using up the backlog of spare tamps from previous cycles. Frugal bleeding!
