I recently moved into a new apartment! It's tiny and expensive :<



I've been working really hard to find places for all our stuff...



Ah, we still need a couch! This chair is not cutting it.



I don't really know if there's room for decorations and stuff, but I'm thinking that we blue or teal and red will be the colors we bring in? Does that sound awful? I don't have very good color-sense, haha.

Anyway, I still post more on my photo blog, so check that out if you're interested!

Isn't it weird when someone you knew (or at least knew of) online suddenly goes quiet and you have no idea where they went? For example, I have a DA account (which I never use and am kind of embarrassed* of, tbh) and I was looking through my favorites today and, well... long story short, one of my favorite artists from a few years ago has totally dropped of the face of the interwebs . From what I can tell she hasn't done anything online under the name she was using for at least a year and a half. I've had this happen before with DA people, LJ friends, etc, and it always kind of leaves me with a strange, unsettled feeling. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

* To clarify, I'm not embarrassed because it's DA, but because it reminds me of my geeky HS days.

"Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn’t get used to it, though I’d been staring at him all afternoon. His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday’s hunting trip, literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare. His glistening pale lavender lids were shut, though of course he didn’t sleep. A perfect statue, carved in some unknown stone, smooth like marble, glittering like crystal."

1) If something is normally white but currently flushed, it is flushed, period.
2) Thanks for clarifying that it was literally sparkling, instead of... metaphorically sparkling? WTF
3) "Scintillating"? Seriously? Are we just thesaurus.com-ing the word "sparkle", now?
4) Unknown stone → Marble → Crystal ???

In summary, Stephenie Meyer is an awful writer. I don't know how else to put it.

Steve Blum (aka the voice of Spike from CB) was at Kawaii-Kon last year???

I normally really dislike conventions, but I'm so sad I didn't go to that one （；へ；　）

I would begged him to record my voicemail message or something embarrassingly geeky like that, srsly.

Steve Blum should be the voice for live-action Spike, haha. I'd be down for that.

Apparently Barak Obama is here, making a mess of traffic.

Weird.

These stupid freshman girls are making it hard for me to write my emo poetry. I only have half (8/15) the poems done for my chapbook tomorrow, plus I still have to bind it ;_;
