Midterm on the 12th!

Study! Panic! Play a videogame and stare into the abyss!

I've been spending the past few weeks sorting pottery sherds which is all well and good and very exciting when you find a piece with ochre ('it's ritual!') as part of my archaeology class but it sure is cutting into my sitting around and drawing flowers time! I kill me. Anyway I'm starting to go a little insane from how hard it is to keep fabric impressed and cord roughened meanings straight - I can tell them apart no problem but it's like if I keep looking at a turtle and going 'that's a mammal' and a squirrel going 'that's a reptile' and then I get all anxious and can't settle on the right one and I go to quietly stand and look at the samples and whisper 'fabric. Fabric. Fabric has dimples. Cord is linear. That was a piece of burnt bone'

I (a hairdresser, not me) dyed my hair purple (on the sides) and blue (on the top) today and I look like I'm only seen under a special light. It's great.

In other news, it's been 21 years and I still hum that damn tune from Ocarina of Time when I'm doing something. I will never be free. I haven't even heard it in person in longer than actual adults have been alive, too.

My cat has been very cute and soft lately.

I need a glue stick because I have three matchboxes filled to the brim with what I *thought* was stickers but are just... tiny cut outs of paintings. Not stickers of them. Just very small posters for like, ants. And I wish to adorn my diary with Mucha and Van Gogh and nebulously victorian 'fairies'.

Oooooo Mucha and Van Gogh and nebulously Victorian fairies! <333333333

Funnily enough, while I enjoyed the last couple of times I was in school, I do not miss finals. XD

I was going to complain about them not being as described (the listing really does say stickers) but they just... were so cheap it feels incredibly petty to do so, you know? In that the only thing it gives me as an option is an immediate demand for a refund.

I'll just get some glue.

They're supposed to be stickers! Why don't they stick?

[crantz]

I don't know! It annoys me! They are a single little piece of paper.

Now I have to find where I put them and see if mine are fucked up.

Those washi cherry blossom stickers I told you about? It turns out one sheet is kiss cut and the others are total fail.

boooo!

I'm gonna get glue for the ones I have. Gluesticks are cheap.

That differentiation will become second-nature before you know it.

Your hair sounds super cool!

I guess they're stickers in that you could stick them to things if you really wanted to? If I were you I would probably message the seller asking for their definition of "stickers".

[crantz]

I sure hope so. I've been quietly saying to myself 'fabric = dimples' and 'cord = linear' for a while now.

There's no option for that, is the thing. eBay jumps right to 'gimme my refund!' and there's no 'please just amend your listing'
