Daily Tweets: updates on the go [19 Nov 2009|10:30pm] Bar bathroom wall haiku: 5th time I proposed / She said she loved me but no / Try again Sunday (good luck, friend! <3333) RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BAND = beautiful, happy, feel-good tunes (who are putting on a really enjoyable show) <3 This band's fashion sense makes me miss The Ten-Watt Gypsies <3 @headinacloud and @gregorymcarthur Bands who can successfully pull off multipart harmonies get extra cookies in the game of not sucking at life! CHEERS! (This week's toast: to Pensacola, to getting out of Pensacola, to good friends!) @imamathguy and @headinacloud Do you not feel strangely like we're on an episode of The OC? @imamathguy @headinacloud but a feel-good episode only just tinged with a sprinkle of bittersweet angst, not like ODing in TJ.

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [16 Nov 2009|10:30pm] Classmates & professor officially think me deranged/a potential serial killer for designing a butcher shop among my peers' bedrooms/offices. "you mean restaurant?" "uh, no...butcher shop." "...like a deli...?" "no, um, like, just...meat?" "..." "to buy steak?" "...interesting." I has a Stefanie. :) :) :) :) :) follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [15 Nov 2009|10:30pm] "Existentialism," the word, was originally 'Existenzphilosophie' and comes from Latin roots EX (out) and SISTERE (to stand). @imamathguy Hardly a competition. Our shared passion for root words is perhaps a cornerstone of our love. New desperation in life: to be French-fluent enough to read Jean-Paul Sartre's original text, "L'Existentialisme est un humanisme." Did I mention last night how much I adore cab rides? Did I? I do. p.s. @headinacloud <3 you back. :) I'm actually a bit frightened. Does this cab have nitrous? No, seriously, we are flying. Cars we pass are blurring! It's like...light speed. Cabbie. Wouldn't wait at stop lights. GOT ME HOME IN 8 MINS. If you don't know, in Chicago traffic, that means this man has godlike powers. follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [14 Nov 2009|10:30pm] I love cab riding. Not sure why...it's hardly any more glamourous than the train or driving, but it's just so...enjoyable. Getting ready to the Eels' "Saturday Morning" on Saturday morning. 'Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here/if we don't make it happen...' 20-something guy dressed like a dancer-boy from Hairspray w/ an honest-to-God blonde curl above his forehead, ascot & a daisy in his pocket. Accompanied Moria to her potential culinary school's open house & have been rewarded with mini macarons, mini carrot cake & mini madeleines. Hands. Down. The. Best. Macaron. I've. Ever. Had. INCLUDING THE ONES I HAD IN FRANCE. Yes, scandalous. Pretty stoked that I've (successfully) made a lot of the foods photographed/on display at Le Cordon Bleu. Except sugar art. It's crazy cool! Desire to be a spectator at the new sport: Chess Boxing. Eleven intervals of 4 mins chess and 3 mins trying to knock the other out. follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [09 Nov 2009|10:30pm] As Shealuck gets more intense, Ninaluck gets more creative. For my final project, I have to design a room. Vote please: modern style butcher shop or vintage style menagerie? follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [08 Nov 2009|10:30pm] Hm. Realization that leg warmers are kind of just knee-high socks without the foot part. *sigh* really, really wishing security guards were not quite so serious about their jobs. :( Man who runs the horse carriages downtown to lesser employee: "DO NOT f*ck with the cape. The cape is an essential part of the job." follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [07 Nov 2009|10:30pm] Still my birthday for four hours in Hawaii. Unfortunately, probably still going to spend these four hours sick in bed. :( My roommate's a rockstar who just saved a girl from getting beat up in an alley. Thanks Jon, for upholding chivalry and not just walking by. @GregoryMcArthur & Momo Congratulations! I wish you both understanding, longevity, patience, discernment, wisdom, & above all, real love. <3 Testament to how much better I'm feeling today: bothered to put on pants. Second sign I'm feeling better: appetite has returned. Sign I'm not up to 100%: craving is for a strawberry poptart. Finally got Sere spayed the other day. Her little belly's all shaved&stitched. She's somehow even sweeter, cuddlier&weirder than before...? "Oh no! Thats no way to spend the birthday. Make sure you do something fun! Happy Birthday and get well, Neens! :)" -Drewbie from Uncle Al, @Alvador: "Hi Nina, Happy Happy birthday sweetie. May all your wishes come true. I love you... always." Showered and begining to feel like a human being once again. Step 2: launder sheets. Step 3: food. Come on lungs, you can do it! Considering creating a Twitter for my lungs. RT NinasLungs: Exhausted. Nebulizer helps, but sure wish we could nap. Our work is never done! follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Birthday! Birthday!" -Nicole Followed closely by @amymroberson "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LADY! I love you and hope you have a kickass bday. :)" -Aims "Happy birthday sweetheart. I miss you." -@drgui1 @imamathguy RT "Happy birthday, @nikomouse! Love you!" who also just appeared by my sick bed with a chocolate French macaron & a candle. :D "Happy birthday bud. I <3 you :)" - CJ Awesome birthday voicemail from my boys back in Pensacola: BJ, Jonny Lee & Millet. Miss you guys. :) Thanks, Greg! This made me smile when I woke up coughing at 3AM. RT @GregoryMcArthur: "Happy birthday, @nikomouse! I love you and miss you!" Woke to this text: "Happy Birthday Nina! Hope you have a good day love, Cori" -my niece is the best. :) Still owe you brunch, darling! RT @ossivorous: @nikomouse happy birthday my love! get yerself some kombucha and that will set you straight. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" -Aaron's mom :) "Hope you make lots of pretty things with it!!! Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day!" - Leda, in regards to Wacom tablet. Abbey birthday to me...Abbey birthday to me...my sister's visiting...Abbey birthday to me! @misspapercrane "Happy birthday...." -Uncle Sonny, my dad's cool "little" brother who lives in Seattle. "26 yrs ago I experienced life's greatest miracle & was a witness to the birth of the most beautiful baby...my life as i knew it would (pt1) never be the same. That's when i learned LOVE's best meaning. I love you NINA from the moment i laid eyes on you (pt 2) Happy birthday to my firstborn!" -from Mom, who waited til my birthtime (11:06am) to send wishes. (pt 3) "Happy birthday my dearest love! I can't wait to come see you in 2 weeks!" -Stef "Hey Nina, Happy Birthday!!!! Hope uncle rey's ginger juice helps some. Take care of yourself & get your flu shot. See you soon."-Aunt Pink @headinacloud @gregorymcarthur Lovelessness isn't steadfastness. There's much to learn from elderly couples who are both steady & in love. "Happy birthday! Hope it's splendid <3" -Sarah in Colorado :) "Happy Birthday! :-)" -Miss Emily "Sent at 11:18 p.m. yesterday 'Happy New York birthday, darling.'" -@moriad @inlondonsing omigoodness-I don't even know where my copy is anymore!

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [05 Nov 2009|10:30pm] Twitterverse, I could use some happy thoughts, prayers, and positive energy to combat this scratchy throat. :( Can't get sick! Please! Just in case you didn't know: on a hen, eggs come out of a slit called a vent. I didn't know. But now we do. PLEASE REPLY! Send me your "Get Well Quickly" home remedies, mom advice & medical tips! Need to streamline:what to do/eat/drink. Efficiency! Rememberemember the 5thOfNov/for all that GuyFawkes stood&fought/But you will regreta/MrsDanger's vendetta/if tomorrow her birthday's forgot @inlondonsing Thanks love. :) Being sick in bed the day before one's birthday apparently brews a double whammy of creativy & narcissism...? @russelbutt thanks bunches! I'm trying my hardest to feel better... I'm sure some SoCal sunshine would help, if you wanna send it over! Another in case you were wondering: CVS (as in, the pharmacy) stands for Consumer Value Store. Sick in bed = asking ChaCha weird questions. Friends, thanks for all your suggestions and remedies. This birthday illness is gonna have to go up against the Twitter Army! Woke up from extensive nap to my 1st birthday gift! @imamathguy's family pitched in to get me a Wacom tablet! THANK YOU!! (commence geekout) Thanks, needed that laugh. ;D RT @russelbutt: "Is your name 'Background'? Cuz I can see you on my bottom layer." #artgeekpickupline @NightsGoneWild it's a toss up: I'm sick, but Abbey's coming to town, but Aaron's taking the GRE.

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [03 Nov 2009|10:30pm] @moriad when you cut the cord, can wake up without itching to check messages & reclaim hours a day from the internet gods, it feels so good! @moriad "I used to shiver like that...I used to sweat...I used to be a junkie..." ;) #RENT @moriad O, internet... "It's like the warmest blanket on the coldest day." (That's a quote. Did anyone else see the news special on heroin?) Left the house at 5:11, ran down the street, through an alley, across a parking lot, and crossed an intersection to catch a 5:13 bus! LOL!!! Clooney to McGregor: "How many lamps are in this room?

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [02 Nov 2009|10:30pm] !!!! Purple and blue Christmas lights on all the trees downtown! Nice choice, Chicago! (Is this your doing, Mayor Daley?)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [01 Nov 2009|10:30pm] @Bigglemix seriously I will take you up on that offer. We can dress up like Andre The Giant in The Princess Bride! So, yeah. Next year, I will dress up as something fuzzy, extremely warm, maybe set on fire, even. Good night. follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [31 Oct 2009|10:30pm] @inlondonsing ask @headinacloud for specifics, but compulsive eyelash tugging is a compulsive tendency in that OCD family. Did it as a kid! @imamathguy I propose the launch of a coalition whose motto is "Married People Don't Have To Be Boring" to combat a very sad statistic. Within five minutes of leaving our house: "HOLY CRAP! DUDE! LET ME TAKE YOUR PICTURES! WHOA!" Wish @imamathguy could teleport us... Superheroes should at least be able to take a cab... Boo at lines being down and being re-routed and having to change trains! I have a parade to catch! #TheCTAhatesme Santa, man with three legs, Alice&Hatter, Riddler, Rorschac, football players, witches, a giraffe, pirate, a twister mat, Rainbow Brite Lego Man! Favourite costume sighting thus far. p.s. What was I thinking dressing my man in head-to-toe spandex and going to Boystown?? Furries apparently incite my >WANT HUG< reflex. I only have happy memories of costumed characters. @inlondonsing The Dangers are sushi-ing tonight as well! No Hallowe'en plans? It's fun to watch Nightcrawler eat with chopsticks. Hee... I AM SO COLD I COULD DIE. A numb, dark, freezing death. Peaceful, really. follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [27 Oct 2009|10:30pm] There's no reason for the difficulty I'm having looking for a sweatshirt with a wolf or tiger iron-on at the thrift store! Strange desire for a mermaid tattoo. Weird...that's definitely a new one. @imamathguy Only if I could make it dance like Petunia! :D Why did an 11-year-old boy have a tattoo? #TheAdventuresofPete&Pete follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)

Daily Tweets: updates on the go [26 Oct 2009|10:30pm] Done. Impressed. Sleepy, but not tired. Energy drinks are weird. Some of the best work I've done, excluding photography. Cue zombie face. Starting the day off with The Cox Family's "I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)" from 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' Fitting. On bus, but sunglasses+my Zune (Sir Isakk) = pretending I'm at a private, acoustic Flogging Molly concert with friends at McGuire's instead. @hcdinfo How about a student nap room with ocean sounds and comfy chaises/beanbags/recliners/massage chairs for breaks/in-between classes? follow[twitter.com/nikomouse] comments:0 (post add edit)
