Arm-swinging riddle solved
Scientists have long wondered why humans swing their arms when they walk.
Um, because we look like weird robots when we don't? :-D
Now that that's out of the way... :-D An entry!
I know I haven't posted for a few days. I shall tell you why. Wait, let me summon my powers of extreme understatement.
*summons*
Okay, here we go: I had a bad weekend. Bad enough that I was in my car, driving back to the apartment, and I ended up getting on the highway instead, and didn't stop until I got to my parents' house. That's about a 2 hour drive. And I stayed there for around a day an a half until I was feeling human enough to rejoin the real world. It was basically a lot of stuff that happened all at once, it kept piling on, and I couldn't deal with it on my own. Nothing that was anyone's fault - just my own crazy brains.
I'm feeling a bit better now though. And there's an actual planned trip up there scheduled for this weekend, because it's my dad's birthday! So that should be good too.
Moving on to different topics: I need a new purse/bag. The one I have, I've been using for several years now (I got it right before that trip my parents and I took to Disney world - almost 3 years ago??), and it's really showing its age. It's an olive-y colored canvas and while I love it because it holds almost anything, it's time for something new. Plus, with me trying to look a little better, fashion-wise, it doesn't really go with a lot of stuff. It's a pretty casual looking bag. So I'm looking for a bag that I can wear with any number of outfits, but one that is also big enough to hold everything I need to carry. Which includes (but is not limited to): wallet, chapstick, lipstick, hand lotion, folding hairbrush, tissues, painkillers/tummy medicine, pen, note/sketchbook, and book to read. Plus, if I can manage it, I'd love for it to be able to hold my tiny computer as well (which is about the size of my sketchbook), for the times I want to take it along with me.
Still on the topic of fashiony type things, have I mentioned that I'm on a bracelet/jewelry kick at the moment? I've made myself several, and picked up things to make more as well. Amazing how many bracelets you can make with just a few dollars worth of stuff from the craft store. :-D Then, when I was up at my parents', my mom started going through her mother's old jewelry box. There's a ton of stuff in there that I once thought was pretty ugly, but that I really like now. Go figure! :-D My mom let me take a necklace (which is sort of fancy, but funky and neat), and a bracelet (which is silver and sort of art deco-ish almost). There's a necklace in the jewelry box that is too fancy for me to comfortably wear for every-day stuff, but that (depending on my outfit) I might wear next year for my gallery opening for senior seminar. And "my" pearls, which were a gift from my other grandmother (that were supposed to be a gift for my wedding, but I think she realized that's not going to happen...), and that I've never worn and need an extender for because I have a fat neck. ;-) But I'm thinking those I might wear to graduation. Lovely that I'm planning my jewelry for ocassions that won't happen until April/May. :-D
Anyhoo. :-D
Y'know, even though I'm feeling better, there's still things that are irritating me. The problem I'm having is really emotional emotions. Does that make sense? Something hits and it's so much *more* than it should be. I'm sadder when I'm sad. I'm *angrier* when I'm angry. Little things that I can usually handle (and that I've handled in the past!) get a huge reaction from me. And I know that if I let it out, people are going to be like "Wtf is her problem?" Sigh.
On a positive note, tomorrow I (and Faye and Bethy) are going to head to a comic shop in the city that's having a "book club" sort of deal with Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite. I should really read through it again tonight, just to refresh myself.
I think that's a good note to end on. :-)
