cinderella & spiders.

last night, i dreamt that i was attacked by a giant spider in the Forbidden Forest.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes."

deep, deep in my heart, i really would like to be confronted by an overgrown, hairy spider. anyone who truly knows me should be aware that that is my greatest goal in life. it's a wish that my heart makes, according to cinderella.

concrete oceans & stone birds.

it's like being right next to the ocean; i can hear the waves & feel the spray. but it really doesn't smell the same. a few times a week, we spend our lunch time here, the novelty of the sound, look, & feel of the waves has long worn off. its just a nice place now. nothing too exciting. i've always wondered what would happen if i threw a penny in there.

i've also wondered what the hand fountain would look like if it was working.

today, i accomplished something. i solved a rubik's cube for the very first time. i used to think that everyone who was able to do them carefully thought through each of their moves; now i know that's not true. it's more like memorizing patterns and sequences rather than solving a puzzle.

click on the picture. it'll be a whole lot clearer (:

shopping high.

i never knew that shopping could make me so happy, even though i went yesterday. today, i took a practice SAT test, but i was in such a good mood. i'm usually really grumpy during practice SATs because honestly, who isn't? who wants to take a 4 hour test and essay at 8:30 every sunday morning?
but that's okay because i went to potomac mills with kathy yesterday and bought a whole bunch of stuff. i also broke my no-caffeine rule when i went to starbucks. but that's still okay since i bought a whole bunch of stuff. (:
