make up

It's amazing how different make-up changes a look. I wish I looked like a hot tranny everyday, but I'm just stuck with this.

Proudest

This weekend was my little sister's wedding, and I couldn't be prouder. The best part of the whole thing were all of the kind words people had to say about my family.

We were a bit tired, especially because I was wearing false eyelashes. It felt like I was giving everyone bedroom-eyes throughout the entire night. It also made me feel a bit like a tranny. But trannies are gorgeous, so I can only be so lucky.

Short Break!

Be back in a bit!

Privilege

I went to an arraignment today for my Criminal Law class. An arraignment is a formal reading of criminal complaint in the presence of the defendant. This is where defendants enter a plea bargain.

I left with sadness, because all of the defendants except for one person were black young men. I was sitting there with the rest of my classmates and it was clear how privileged we were.

That's all for tonight.

Today's cause of joy is brought to you by...

Aetna!

I'm officially insured (retroactively to 08/01/2011)!!

My health insurance card arrived today. I haven't been insured since May, so this is a relief!

Signs of single-lazy

Signs of single-person-complecancy:

I eat out of a pot and eat a whole carrot stick without chopping it up.

Shorts, no longer

I wore a long-sleeved shirt and capri running leggings today for the first time since summer. It was 54 degrees outside before I left for my run, and it felt crisp.

I LOVE fall running days.

This picture makes it look like I stretch before I run, but I consciously do not stretch before a run. I've been told multiple times that it is bad to stretch cold muscles, so I usually start out with dynamic movements (like swinging arms and legs back and forth) if I'm good. Most of the time, I'm not good, so I step out and just run. Oh WELLZ.

I'm also listening to WNYC right now, and there is a song they are playing now with the lyrics "There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be." I thought I heard it wrong, but it is an actual song.

Humbled

I got a copy of the Pacific Citizen today, and I was in it.

Nice way to end the night!

It's mirror-imaged, because that's how the Apple Photobooth rolls.
