if you doubt that i'll be there don't despair, don't you dare

i'm a little bit impulsive, and i guess i force the others around me to be a little more spontaneous at times than they might ordinarily be, but for the most part none of them seem to hold this against me (or at least not openly). as a result, i find that i have plans to be in nyc in february. to say that i love new york would be an understatement. but before you categorize me as a sex-in-the-city-fanatic or shopaholic, you should know that i am neither. i have only ever seen the SitC movies, and i spend almost all of my money on travelling, food, jewelry, and music (seriously, i have no discernible talent for putting together outfits, i take "function over fashion" pretty seriously - winter requires a winter coat, and waterproof boots, not stilettos).

in other news: i'm baking matcha shortbread cookies at the moment, one of my friends from school found a new direction in her research and decided to stick it out for the long run (which is great news, i was already mourning her loss 1.5 years in advance, because she is quite fantastic), and i have fallen in love with s. carey's "in the dirt" (in case you hadn't guessed by this post title). anyways, back to cookies!
