today it was wet and grey and dreary.

i'm tired of winter.

i went to braums and sat in the parking lot eating orange sherbet, because orange sherbet tastes like summer.

to the ball, to the ball!

ok dearies, i'm headed down south for the civil war ball, gloves in hand and petticoats trailing beneath.

happy weekend!

i may or may not have watched this 10 times

late-night confessional

so i'm up doing homework and sewing... blaaaaah for not having time, blaaaah for deadlines, blah blah blah.

and i've got some things to say.

i HATE making eyelet buttonholes and El Greco.

i've made 19/28 of them.



aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!



my elbows hurt from accidentally being set down on sewing-pin covered tables. my back hurts from scrunching under a stack of chairs for a long time during rehearsal today, just so that i could enter on cue. i'm extremely creeped out because i stupidly started thinking about the sixth sense earlier. bad idea. ALWAYS freaks me out at night. and in the day. ok, just always.

but i've got good hummus and an endless supply of... water.

ok.

back to work, beatrice.

yeah, well, sewing machine, so's your face.

i'm sewing.


it's not going so well.


i actually just stooped to making up a stupid poem about it.

grant me the serenity to not stomp on the seams i cannot remove
the courage to rethread the machine when it runs out
and the wisdom to not kick the sewing machine in the face.

or ... in the... bobbin.



niebuhr would not approve.

Grace PBC Meeting, or, the inaugeral assemblage of the Tartarians.

seriously, could our faces be any more different? haha

So after church on Friday night, the 5 of us for many strange reasons compounded decided to hang out in the car until about midnight... in the freezing cold. We formed a club, based on our mutual love of tartar sauce.

Or something.

Best club quote?

matt: "they should make a movie about us"

logan: "yeah... like... Avatartar!"

me: "or tartarzan"

yourfacesarecreepingmeout fail!

Ok, well thats just hilarious. I just noticed the Von Trapp family hands. Nice one.

My Family Is Super Attractive, Pt. 2

Ok... so... not so much attractive as... weird. Insane, perhaps.

Here is a video in which we discover Auntie Dear's webcam and find ourselves compelled to use it in whatever way we think of first.

My Family Is Super Attractive, Pt. 1

I've mentioned before how totally hot my family is... and I know some of you are skeptical. How hot can they be, really? you ask. WELL my friends, you are about to see.

The proof is in the pudding, so go get a sieve and strain it out, cause proof doesn't taste very good with pudding. Plus I'm pretty sure I forgot to disinfect the proof before I put it in.

PROOF THAT MY FAMILY IS SUPER ATTRACTIVE:
