So the autorotate on my phone wasn’t working, and it was really bugging me…and I was thinking “ugh, I hope I don’t have to take this into the store to get them to fix it. And then I realized “You’re an idiot. Just fucking Google it”
So I did, and of course there’s tons of advice on how to fix it, but most of it is things I already tried or things that don’t help and then I see: “Restart your phone” and I just —
Have you tried turning it off and then on again?
I AM THAT ASSHOLE.
I WAS LITERALLY RAISED BY AN IT GUY. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME??

Long story short, my auto-rotate works again.

I’ve had the One Direction song “What Makes You Beautiful” stuck in my head for 3 days straight. Every time I think it’s gone & I’m finally free, suddenly— BABY YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE LIKE NOBODY ELSE. THE WAY THAT YOU FLIP YOUR HAIR GETS ME OVERWHELMED…

Do you ever do something really ridiculous with your make up, then forget that you’ve done it, and accidentally catch sight of your reflection, and it’s just like Oh shit, what IS that thing? Oh wait, that’s just my face.

does anyone else ever get really stressed over assignments and know that you should be doing them but you feel like you physically can’t stop procrastinating and that just stresses you out even more or is that just me

What’s even better is when you graduate and you start doing this with applying to grad programs and finding a better job and filing your taxes and like…living your life.

Is it weird that my first thought upon realizing that it’s the Ides of March was that I hope to see plenty of posts about how “We should totally just stab Caesar!”?

So I’m using my laptop in bed, which always ends poorly, but I’m doing it anyway, and I think I just attempted to hide under my computer the way that you hide under your covers? 

I think that means it’s time for me to put the computer away and go the fuck to sleep. 

So I currently have 22 items checked out from the library, 12 of these items are books. 5 I’m at least partway through, 7 that I haven’t even started yet. 

I haven’t read an actual book all the way through in months. It’s legitimately been months. Plus I have at least 4 books in my room that I own and haven’t begun to read. 

I’m fairly certain the last book I read all the way through was Everyday, by David Levithan. Fantastic book, I read it in a matter of days, in…November, I believe. I don’t know when the last book I finished before that was. Maybe September? 

I don’t know why, but my brain just doesn’t want to finish a book, I just can’t convince myself to read the books in my room. I can convince myself to check a book out, but I can’t convince my brain to actually read it once I have it in my room. I can read things, I’ve read plenty of things on the internet, but not a proper physical book. I can always convince myself to check tumblr one last time before I go to sleep, or to get up an extra hour early to watch that Doctor Who rerun on BBCA, but never to read one of those lovely books. So instead, I just keep renewing them. I’ve had some of these books checked out since August, just sitting there waiting to be read.

Two of the books I have checked out are books I’ve read before! They’re both fantastic, and I’d love to reread them, hence why I’ve checked them out, but I feel like I need to finish the books I haven’t read before I reread those. 

The point of all of this is that today I’ve checked out Silver Linings Playbook, and I really want to read this in a timely manner, partially because I’d love to see the movie, and I’d like to read the book before I do so. I don’t know what’s wrong with me right now, but I feel like I need to say something to hold myself accountable for it, to force me to get get my butt in gear and just do it already.

So tonight, I am not going to catch up on Supernatural (or Bones, or Parks & Rec, or anything else I’m behind on…), I am not going to read that article about Michelle Obama at the inauguration, I am not going to listen to This Year on repeat for several hours while fixing my nails, I am going to read a fucking book. 

If I haven’t finished it by Monday, somebody come find me and punch me in the face until I do it.

how am i going to become godot at this rate now

I’LL JUST STICK TO TEA, MAN, I CAN’T DO THIS

Me, like 3 years ago…I sorta accidentally acquired it. I may or may not have been in denial about the fact that I acquired it until just recently.
If you ask me, I will still probably lie to you and tell you I hate the taste of coffee.

Ugh, I’ve left my phone at work, and now I’ve become that asshole who goes through withdrawal without their smartphone for more than a few hours. 

Seriously, though, I didn’t realize how much I relied on it always being on me until it was gone. It’s driving me crazy, I keep forgetting it’s not here & re-remembering that I don’t have it. 

I’ve never been one for naming my inanimate belongings…apparently I don’t name them until I miss them. It’s like when I thought my computer died, and suddenly she was Donna. Apparently my phone’s name is Pippin, because my brain keeps going come back to me, Pippin!

I’m editing a paper for my best friend for the first time in…many months. 

As of a few weeks from now, I will have graduated a year ago, and I’ve only been back to campus twice in that time. 

Reading an academic paper for her again is: 

(a.) Making me miss the world of academia

(b.) Making me thank my lucky stars that I don’t have to deal with final exams and term papers anymore

(c.) Making me miss my best friend

(d.) All of the above but mostly c.

ETA: Oh God, I almost forgot what a bitch paper-editing makes me! Please, for your own sake, never ask me to edit a paper for you, unless you want me to tear you apart. I start out all tentative and “maybe you might want to consider this?” and then quickly devolve into “This whole section makes zero sense, you’re clearly just trying to up your word count by adding in extraneous BS. And for the love of god, stop using exclamation points in an academic paper”

I downloaded smells like teen spirit but this is what I got instead.

I find this completely acceptable.

Omg…

Shit..

at first I was like 

but then I was like

YESSSSSSS! I AM SO FREAKING PUMPED RIGHT NOW! I spent the entire intro crossing all my fingers and toes and just hoping and praying that this was what I thought it was, and just YES! I literally cheered when the lyrics started. Every time I hear it I’m just like “What is this blasphemy?” but then at the same time I’m lie can’t. stop. listening. I am so glad that I finally have the mp3 of this. Partially because I randomly have the urge to listen to in all the damn time, and partially because it will be very useful for possibly pranking my brother…
