Submitting awesome suggestions for QotD, of course! Duh! =P

Loathe:

• Ripping my favorite pair of jeans in an unfortunate spot and thus forcing me to go buy new ones
• Waking up early for a dentist appointment
• The sun going away
• Christian Bale being arrested for assault (I'm still trying to wrap my head around that)
  

• "The Dark Knight"
• The Bite of Seattle (I ate way too much but it was all really good food)
  
• Finding an apartment (it has a teeny tiny kitchen but it'll work)
• Actually having time to read books

The 4 Corners of My Room

I know I showed you all a video, but that video kind of sucked and it was dark. So, here. Show your photos of your room too! Enjoy!

I keep the link between me and certain friends or acquaintances (offline) loose. I'm sure there's some psychological meaning behind it from some tragic event in my past, and it's become a familiar phase for me. As a result, I've had many of my friends remain distant. I don't like to pry --I'll even tell you I won't pry after a few screwdrivers-- nor do I like to make people do or say things he or she doesn't want to do. I don't know if that comes out as uncaring to most people, but I see how they can think that. It explains the small group of friends I do have, in my life right now. Which is both good and bad, but I refuse to change my ways. If you don't want to be my friend, then maybe it's better that way. I don't want you to be my friend if you don't want to, but honestly -and I say this with much confidence- that that doesn't come up that often. I'll be friends with everyone, I care about everyone, and I'll always be here.

But there's still that loose link that I refuse to tighten. And unfortunately, many of those loose links are guys. I've never had a close guy friend as my best friend; I've always had girl friends. Because I keep loose links between me and guys, I can't ever keep them close. Especially when he finds a girlfriend. Never fails. Never. When he finds a girlfriend, he disappears out of my life. Always.

I guess it's sort-of a good thing I keep links loose because it keeps the drama out of my life. I had my share of drama a couple of years ago, and I refuse to relive that again. Drama-free is the way to live. Like drug-free. The point of this entry is to say that I love fake drama. I love watching drama on television!

I'm a sucker for drama series. Dawson's Creek, Everwood, One Tree Hill, The OC, and soon-to-be (the new) 90210. I've been watching season 1 of The OC, crafting, plurking, and reading the past few days. And I've come to the conclusion that I'll always love Seth Cohen.

So that Boeing Power On energy drink?  It tastes like a melted Otter Pop mixed with carbonated water.  And not in a good way.  Not to mention that it was a weird yellow color that, when I poured it into a glass, looked like urine.  I only made it through about half of it before I gave up and dumped it down the sink.  I'm tempted to monitor my vitals for the next couple of hours just to see if it had any effect on them.

Show us the book you're reading right now.

I'm actually in between books right now.  I finished this book late last night/early this morning:

Girl in a Box (Rei Shimura Mysteries)

Sujata Massey

★★★★

and I'll most likely be starting this book tonight:

The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel

Diane Setterfield

Had an awesome day at the Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym out at St Peters.

Thought I hadn't been there before but it turned out I actually had, years go. They still had us on the records.

I was reminded what a small world it was when I ran into Greg, a climber I met in Perth (who lives in Sydney). He was getting a lead pass with his partner Binh and I jumped in to get mine too.

It was awesome visiting a bigger gym with so many new climbs (new to me anyways). I was like a kid in a candy store!!!

Spent a few hours - maybe 3 hours or so. Very much worth delaying lunch for the experience. :D

I really miss last week. We had so much fun. Someone suggested a trip to Vegas next year, which I'm totally going if everyone else does. Sigh. Good times.

But, back to the nearest past, I've been relaxing. I'm srsly going to need to do something more productive. Having a real summer vacation is hard. I'm thinking of sketching up some things to sell at my unestablished etsy shop. But like a quote from The Dark Knight, if you've got a gift---why hold back? Or, something to that effect.

The Dark Knight.

My first purchase at Sephora

They're building a lot of new stores at the mall. They took out Abercrombie because the rent was too high (yeah, go figure). They've recently opened a Sephora, Buckle, Cache, and Swarovski. They're now building a Forever 21, expanding Journey's, and moving Wet Seal. I can't wait until all of the renovations are over!

Another outfit for Pinky the iPod

New outfit for Pinky again!

I've only begun embroidering, and I really love it. It's like, coloring with thread. I love it. I've been embroidering while watching season 1 of The OC.

Anyway, I'm going to get something to drink.

View from where I'll be sleeping tonight.
