// i am
obsessed with twitter. i really do not understand why. perhaps it is the thrill of being in the thick of the most recent news. or perhaps i am just an extremely nosy person and need to be updated on the occurrences of others the minute they happen.
here i am!// just finished reading peter pan and fell in love with it all over again. it truly is a lovely story and mr. barrie is such a witty scotsman. i admit it, i did cry at the end when wendy had to stay in london and peter refused to be adopted by the darlings because he never wanted to grow up. i don't blame him. if i could fly around kensington and neverland and live with the lost boys underground, i would do so in a heartbeat. it kept reminding me of the song wake up by the arcade fire and how i want to stunt the growth of my nieces and nephews so they can be like peter too :)
// mum and i and frommer's guide to england are planning our trip to the motherland. less than five months away. i've done this wait before, we'll see if i can again! mum keeps splurting out random cities and counties and it is making me both giggle and urinate in my knickers because i am just so very excited!
// i've been doing a large amount of cooking and baking. it's so nice to have a big kitchen. the one at zuzu is semi-microscopic. last night i made chicken piccata, roasted vegetables, and a salad for mum and greggo. then for desert i made apple crisp topped with ice cream and caramel. tonight i had an urge to make a minced pie, (seeing as i never had one for christmas) then changed my mind and decided to make a chicken pot pie instead! it was rather scrumptous!
(here's the 'ole bugger...that cheesy thing not my mother :)
// i'm headed back to school on saturday, me and my little green car, petey. i'm actually looking forward to this next semester. i miss all my dear chaps and i feel as if i have'nt explored the L.A. area very much since i've started at zuzu. i really like my schedule this semester, but we'll see how things go :)
// father christmas/greggo got me some sorels for christmas! at first i thought them to be rather butch and masculine but they have grown on me and they are sooooo warm! big al and i didn't get up to tahoe this break due to me tossing my cookies on the departure date and alicia having to work. so, perhaps ,in february, my chaps and i can pay this wintery wonderland a visit and i can stomp around like sasquatch in my nordic booties!
(lumberjack em seeks her revenge....)
//PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE: pray for my good friend leah's mamma. she's been in and out of the hospital for months now and her and her family could really used some lovin' right now!
three days until the departure... to make my boring drive down south less boring, i shall pretend i am driving in england. but, i must stay on the right side of the road. i want to visit GB in my wellies, not in my coffin.
until next time:
cheers,
em
