I have lots of socks, one-of-a-kind. I tend to wear mismatched socks. :oP

Time to go home!

Re: QM - The 24 hour all-you-can-eat buffet. Now with soft serve Icecream!

I'm finally getting rid of the clothes I wore for my oral Matura. I kept them in case I ever needed formal clothes, but the trousers gave me a rash the one time I wore last year, and the shirt is just so totally not me.

Re: QM - The 24 hour all-you-can-eat buffet. Now with soft serve Icecream!

the fake monday on tuesday plus the switch to daylight saving time(or from?i don't really get which is which..) completely f***ed my sense of time/days. yesterday i thought it was tuesday, today was wednesday, and it's always earlier in the day than i think it is.

Re: QM - The 24 hour all-you-can-eat buffet. Now with soft serve Icecream!

if you're tired enough...:D

well, i wasn't, this time!
once i fell asleep on a party, leaning against a wall, waiting for bf to finish chatting with his mates. and they didn't believe me that i wasn't really asleep, because they took various pictures of me and i didn't notice..

i moved the laptop to the bedside table now, bed is much more comfy than wicker chair!

*is lonely again*

What does it say about my grandmother that every time she doesn't know what to give me for christmas or birthday, she gets me a toiletry bag? I have three so far.

Sounds nice. And you're making me hungry.

And apparently I can't type any more. NaNo will be fun.
Although... last year I was only just teaching myself to touch-type, and ended up with things like, "remenmdbered " or "texchniquies".

It's actually one pile and two bags - the bags containing the stuff that's still wearable enough to be donated. I don't remember where Minnie went.

Re: QM - The 24 hour all-you-can-eat buffet. Now with soft serve Icecream!

Yeah... all that, "but I might need it again" stuff - like those exam clothes. After more than four years, I finally decided that even if I needed nice clothes again, those were not the ones I'd wear.
But there is still the silk skirt, which I haven't worn in nearly as long, but still don't want to give away. It's pretty, but I have no reason to wear it...

Re: QM - The 24 hour all-you-can-eat buffet. Now with soft serve Icecream!

I've never subscribed to the "if you haven't worn it for a year, toss it" theory. Which might explain my overcrowded closet.

I'm thinking of knitting this next.

One row at a time, right?
