Something cool I've discovered: for my birthday, Gian gave me 'For Esmé - With Love And Squalor' (also known as 'Nine Stories', because basically, the book consists of nine short stories) and the title of the book is the title of one of the stories. In the sixth book of The Series of Unfortunate Events, 'The Erzatz Elevator', the name of one of the Baudelaires' guardians is Esmé Squalor (she was part of that couple where they only care about things that are 'in', like pinstripe suits and olive martinis), which I'm pretty sure isn't a coincidence and I think it's nice that there's that little connection between two of my favorite authors.

Today, I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said: "When life gives you lemons, you paint that shit gold." Right, and then you'd just have a gold lemon. Great accomplishment.

• I feel like I've been neglecting Placebo lately so I'm making up for it now. I wish I could put into words what the introduction of 'This Picture' makes me feel.
• Gian's internet crashed earlier so I tried making a gif of myself. This is the result, it's pretty bad.
• Today I decided that I want to have three kids and that the first tattoo I get is going to be placed on my foot.
• I finished 'Sputnik Sweetheart' last night and it's the fourth Haruki Murakami book I've read. Whenever I finish reading a book that I really liked, I always feel like hugging the author.
• I miss Vicky.
• I think it's pretty cool how a lot of people I know are going to be taking the SAT tomorrow morning in different parts of the world. Standardized tests are so organized. (Good luck to any of you taking it, by the way!)
• I love you, I love you, I love you. I'm scared that you're going to leave.
• I'm flirting with the idea of getting a nose ring. I probably won't because my parents are very much against piercings but I think they're cute. I've just been bored of my face and I want to change something. I'm also considering getting bangs and growing out my hair.
• I've been having issues with my sleep - in the sense that it takes me so long to fall asleep and when I sleep, I don't rest and when I wake up, I'm always so tired and it feels like I didn't actually rest. I don't know.
• I'd really like to meet someone new.
• I'm not going to school tomorrow.
