  • 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. Lol #TheOC

  • 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. :) :) :) :) :)

  • "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.

  • 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.

  • 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. :(

  • 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!

  • 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. May postpone birthday festivities...

  • @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? If you were a jedi knight you wouldn't have to look." #TheMenWhoStareAtGoats

  • !!!! Purple and blue Christmas lights on all the trees downtown! Nice choice, Chicago! (Is this your doing, Mayor Daley?)
  • I like the new ads that passively address common Chicagoan commuter complaints: talkative tourists, passenger cleanliness, PDA.

  • @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.

  • 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

  • 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?
