i need better boots

my new boots are adorable but the suede leeks black and pink stains onto my socks when they get wet. i need some serious winter hiking boots so that i can take long walks in the middle of the night. i feel like i need to turn into a writer. i've got so much to say and no one to say it to. sometimes i try to share the inner workings of my mind but usually i avoid that because when people inevitably don't "get" me, i tend to feel more alone than ever. with no real outlet, i just feel like the thoughts flow around into a giant mess inside my head and the good ones tend to get lost forever. i've never been able to keep a private journal because i don't know how to write to no one but i think i should start giving it a try. i feel that it would be a good step for me and might allow me to set some more concrete goals for myself.

in my life

things are just fantastic lately. maybe even more so than usual. today is the last day of the worst diet in history (no sugar, flour, yeast or dairy for 12 days!) and i have but one exam left until being done school forever. i've been buying all sorts of new treats and trinkets for myself even though i don't have a real job. i've started a lovely parrot on my arm which is getting coloured in a week and a day.

christmas is my second favorite season next to summer and everything feels all warm and fuzzy. mostly christmas parties with friends but even staying home by myself with movies and blankets. last night i watched home alone and cried happy tears when the next door neighbour reunites with his estranged son. then i enjoyed a late night surprise phone call with an old friend who i'll get to start seeing much more of in the near future. friends and ponies are going to make today just as great. i also got every issue of this in the mail today! i know what i'm doing this evening :)

enjoy this silly dog picture and have a great day!
