settled in at last

I'm finally back at college! As the title of today's post suggests, I'm finally settled in to my dorm room. Unfortunately, in the short period of time that I've been moved in I've already found a plethora of my roommate's annoying habits. *sigh* Why can't I ever find someone as flawless as myself to live with? I'm deffinitely demanding my own room next year or taking a position as a Resident Assistant. No joke.

I need to vent a little so I'm gonna go ahead and list the annoying things she does:
- she takes up both sides of our sink
- she leaves discarded clothing in the middle of where I walk
- she has the ugliest yellow and organge plaid sheet set complete with teddybear head attached and white frills
- she opens the door when I'm changing
- she listens to Top 40 music. out loud. while I'm trying to do work
- she turns on stupid t.v. shows and then doesn't even pay attention to them

*deep breath* I feel a little better now.



My current "I'm too lazy to walk to the dining hall" dinner is:



I was a little hesitant at first, but it actually tastes like a cheesy taco. Who woulda thunk?


Robert Pattinson photo of the day:



This panty-drenching photograph is one of an exclusive set released on the internet today. Unfortunately it has the tag in the way, but I'm sure there'll be some way around that soon.

Moving on before I get too hott and bothered...


Books I'm reading:



It's pretty good from what I've read so far. I'm only about 65 pages in at the moment. The quote on the cover of my book is by Stephenie Meyer who apparently thinks that "The Mortal Instruments series is a story world that [she] love[s] to live in. Beautiful!" I absolutely love The Hunger Games, which SM also recomended, so I'm going to take her word on this series, as well.

Fics I'm reading:

Confessions of a Nanny by Melissa228

The Office by tby789

Tropic of Virgo by In_a_blue_bathrobe

Art School Confidential by farkle

Desiderata by kimpy0464

Things That Go Bump in the Night by mac

Breaking Edward by browniechadowes

Failure To Thrive by Julesnerd

Show and Don't Tell by Brits23

These are "All Human" and "Alternate Universe" stories and none of them are really angsty. As I've mentioned before, I LOVE smutty fanfic! So these are all M or NC17. I give each and every one of these fics my full recomendation because I'm obsessed with each and every one of them. GO READ THEM ALL!

I aso read an epic one-shot the other day called Art Model and it's by dollegirl. It is filled with pure win. GO READ IT!

All right, I'm done. For now...

back to school shopping

Today I did some last minute back to school shopping. I was everywhere from the food store, to the discount beauty store, a boutique, and the nail salon (last minute pedi). I came across a clusterfucking variety of things.

I shall list them for you:

1. a cape

That's right. A CAPE. And it's plaid! Neat, huh? I think it looks whimsical :) If I'm around when that shit is on sale, I might just have to snatch it up. It's just so cute... I want to pinch its cheeks!

2. the most fuckawesome dress


That's me "modeling" the dress. I ran across it in a little boutique a few towns over. It's sort of an awkward angle and I took the picture with my phone, so the quality is not very good. But let me describe it. It's a beautiful deep purple satiny fabric. There's a zipper that runs all the way up the front of the dress and I think it's an awesome structural detail. The top has a fitted bodice and is snug at the waist. The bottom has pleat things that allow the dress to puff out a little at the hips and then the hemline curves back in. I love this dress! But there were two problems with it: 1) it was $285 2) I have nothing to wear it to. It's too slinky and sexy for a formal dance and I'm sure as hell not gonna wear it to a college party!

*sigh* I'll just have to think of it as the one that got away. But at least I'll always have this picture, right? And I'll add this to the list of "things I wanna buy after they go on sale."

I am also bound and determined to put this dress into a fic I write in the near future. I've written a one-shot and I have one story that's a work-in-progress. This is my account on fanfiction.net. I've been having difficulties posting my story on Twilighted.

3. sausage IN pancakes

I came across these when I was food shopping (duh). They look disgusting, but I must say I'm intrigued. Aparently I'm not the only one, because there seems to be an article of sorts here.

A fanfic that I would be remiss not to mention is Tropic of Virgo by In_a_blue_bathrobe. It is beyond amazing. I love everything about it. I'm pretty sure it's been completed recently and you should check it out.

I think it's also important for me to say how intricately Twilight fanfic is entwined into my everyday life. I quote it in completely unrelated conversations (and no one has any idea what I'm referring to). Little pieces of different stories I love are scattered around me. I have a tattoo that was inspired by The Office by tby789.

And today I bought a new moleskin journal inspired by Desiderata by kimpy0464.

And you can follow me on Twitter here.

That should be all for now :)
