1. home for break, with all the good and bad that that entails. i love my family, but sometimes i have trouble maintaining my mental equilibrium--i'm so used to being in depressive patterns when i'm home that i have trouble pulling myself out of them. but mostly this visit has been going well! we'll see how tomorrow goes... O.o

2. still working on a couple clint/coulson fics. should be working faster. *kicks self*

3. do me! (is what my homework and grading are saying. SHUT UP.)

4. three items seems like a short list.

5. i'm making vegan pie crust tomorrow! and pumpkin dinner rolls! \o/ (i'm going to preemptively take the batteries out of the closest smoke detector. it needs an 'i like cooking but i'm new at this!' setting, instead of 'OH GOD WAS THAT A BREEZE OR ARE WE ALL GOING TO DIE MY JOB IS SO STRESSFUL' setting.)

6. i think being a smoke detector would actually be a horrible job.

7. huh.

1) I'm in rehearsals! Yay! *collapse* Our first week is almost wrapped up, and it's been really good so far. We've lost a lot of time to fight choreography (IDK why, but I do a lot of violent plays...), but the cast is focused and talented and more experienced than any ensemble I've worked with before, so we're barely behind. It's weird to not have to give notes in five different ways in order to be understood (part of that's just me getting better at directing, part of it is that all of the people in this cast know what they're doing!).
2) BUSY. With the exception of one day this week, where I had a whole afternoon free, I was on campus 9am-11:30pm every day. And that'll be my schedule for the next three weeks, too. It wasn't think bad when I had a car, because I could go home from 5pm-6pm and have dinner, but it's not that bad, BECAUSE:
3) I'M STILL COOKING!

I have made:
tofu stiry-fry (which wasn't that good but then I added black beans and fresh tomatoes and rice)
homemade hummus (GARLICKY AND DELICIOUS)
vegetable chili
potato soup
butternut squash soup
sweet potato casserole (which I've been rationing to myself to make it last longer)
a lot of burritos
and MICROWAVE POTATO CHIPS, which take, like, 10 minutes and are healthy and amazing.

I bring about three Tupperware containers with me to school each day now--lunch, dinner, and snacks (snacks are usually veggies with HOMEMADE HUMMUS, WHAT).

I need to get to a grocery store to get some more goods (the hardest part about cooking and not having a car is that shopping takes about two hours because of bus rides). I didn't make it to the grocery store yesterday, so I might not have time to go until Friday. Bah!

4) Vote in the thing! (Er. The election!) AND

whitecollarlas! Here's the link to Round 3 voting info. (I missed the first two rounds, on account of how I am awful at things, but I actually got my story in on time this round!)
5) I have to go write a paper now. And then go to rehearsal. And then babysit a friend's new cat while she's in rehearsal. And then finish my paper. And then sleep. LIKE A BOSS.
6) :D

Dear The Job Interview I Just Had,

You were awkward. Why did we spend so long talking about cats? I'm a dog person.

...maybe that's why it was awkward. Also, hypothetical questions about how I would answer questions that I don't know the answers to because I haven't been through training are mean. And you can tell your scribbly-therapist's-notepad that I said that. Only don't, because I want this job. Even if it's only a couple of evenings a couple of weeks each month. I NEEDS MAH MONEYS SO I CAN GO TO SCHOOL.

Also--I don't put a lot of stock in handshakes. But. Yours was really limp. And I stood up when you left the table. Is that...is that weird? Chivalrous? Something only dudes are supposed to do? I am a reasonably butch woman, does that make it okay? It did kind of make it so I loomed over you, though, because I am tall and you were short. Nice lasting impression, y/y?

LOVE,
HB

*sigh*

Dear Crazy Uncle,

No. No, I will not go car shopping with you this weekend. Not just because I don't know anything about cars, not because I think that buying a car right now is a stupid financial decision (it is), not because I'm homophobic and want to avoid physical contact with you (really? REALLY?), but because the last time I went car shopping with you I almost died.

(He claimed to know how to drive a stick shift. HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. Me and my sister were in the back seat, the car salesman was in the passenger seat. The whole test drive was a blur of near-misses, loud screeching noises, the salesman's awkward laugh, Crazy Uncle shouting THEY DID NOT USED TO BE LIKE THIS, and my sister and I clutching on to each other for dear life. It was like being on a roller coaster. A roller coaster going the wrong way down a one-way street.)

LOVE,
YOUR NIECE

IN THE GOOD NEWS FRONT: GUESS WHO HAS A HOUSE? THIS GUY's parents! My folks have purchased a house! Assuming their loan comes through. Which means we've got about a month to pack up the house that we've been in for two years. I'm the only person in my family who's not a serious packrat (...books don't count). So I'll be spending the next month carting around boxes will all of my brother's old lego collections, my sister's old shoes and purses (from before she turned into a dumpster-diving-anarchist-vegan-hipster), my dad's papers and class notes from the last thirty years, and my mother's collection of HEY THIS BOX OF THINGS IS ONLY A DOLLAR MAN AUCTIONS SURE ARE FUN purchases.

I'm going to finish my freakishly salty frittata and drown my sorrows in porn. Or Diet Pepsi. Or both.
