tsukikageYou know what Nastassja wants? Nastassja wants cake. If only she had ingredients, or at least money to go buy ingredients. :(
You know, it's odd, but reading about relationships (i.e., seeing them going on in webcomics) has been a bit... cathartic?... for me. Not really cathartic, but I can't think of a better word. It's kinda like how I feel that finding someone new and getting into a relationship with them is going to really do the trick in finally getting me over Patrick, and I have an opportunity to get into that great relationship by sympathizing with characters who are getting into a new relationship.
On the other hand, just trying to write this entry and being struck at how awful and un-intellectual my vocabulary really is is bringing me back down a bit. I had to look up the difference between empathize and sympathize, and even then I'm not sure that it's the word I want to use and I can't think of or don't know of a better one. *le sigh*
BTW, I think I forgot to mention that my tea today was near perfect. :) I've been just assuming that the water coming out of the water heater in the kitchen was the right temperature, but really it was around 185 when it should be more like 170 or 175, so I took the time to mix a bit of cold water in and keep checking the temperature until I got it right before I poured it over the leaves. See, being anal with my tea is a good thing!
I've been thinking about money matters, as usual, and I've decided that as much as it sucks, I think I'm gonna suck up the basic account with no add-ons until I get my TCF check card, which is going to take a while as first I need to apply for a new drivers permit, then I have to wait for it to arrive, then I have to apply for a new check card, then I have to wait for that to arrive, and only then can I use it to upgrade my account again. I also have the option of doing things manually (i.e., sending them cash hidden in an envelope), but I'd like to set up the automatic payments so I can get myself some fancy automatic payment discounts ($20 instead of $25 for a year's paid account, for starters). I could also send in the cash for just a month or two of paid account to tide me over until I have my check card, but I'm feeling kinda lazy... I dunno, we'll see what I end up doing when I get my first paycheck. *pouts, not wanting Monday to come*
