ms. f moves

to a new site. i am bored of this one. visit me here, it's more fun: http://mishistory.tumblr.com/

ms f is inked.

went to Williamsburg with knots in my stomach and came back with a tattoo.

i commemorated my momentous event with a preparatory meal of coronas and pancakes, and a post-tattoo meal of banana & nutella crepes. nothing says "party" like multicultural pancakes.

many many warm thanks to those of you who endured my tortured conversations about why i wanted a tattoo and what type of tattoo to get. your input was inspiring. :)

so excited. i've had a fever of 102/103 for the past 2 days and slept most of the time away. which is a fairly unfortunate way to spend spring break. but..i woke up today with a normal temperature and saw this...

ms. f's trip to the movies

i went to see Adventureland today. I was the only person in the theater and felt all self-conscious. Then, 4 other people came into the theater and i felt more awkward. i'm not very good at doing things by myself--movies, lunch or dinner in a public place, just generally being out in society by myself can be a challenge.

however, i dealt. upsides of the movie: bill hader and kristen wiig. the 1987 setting of the movie also helped, as it was a given that i would be way into the soundtrack. i was. downsides: this movie was sweet and mad predictable.

even more exciting? i saw a movie that started at 9:20 on a MONDAY NIGHT. i left the theater after 11pm. i'm still awake after midnight with no immediate need to go to bed. because i am on vacation. :)

ms. f needs a vacation

here's why:

1. she is about 3 weeks behind on grading
2. she can't seem to leave work before 6:30pm these days
3. she is definitely coming down with a serious flu/bad cold
4. she has contracted a 3 week long case of the Mondays
5. it's finally sunny outside
6. her bracket is toast
7. it's been almost 9 months since she was at Central Park
8. if you don't live or work with her, she hasn't spoken to you in weeks
9. her room is desperately crying out for a severe spring cleaning
10. she is so tired that she can't think of a 10th reason

it's a mere 3 days away people.

conflicted.

life is pretty good these days--an old friend is in town for the weekend and it's made me remember that there was a time when i was a really fun (and funny) person. shadows of that person have re-emerged over the past few days and it's been a really welcome change.

in general i've fallen into a bit of a funk here in early 2009. and not the good George Clinton kind. despite the good-ness of life, the day-to-day grind is getting me down a little bit. that's pretty lame right? i'm chalking it up to the lack of vacation days in march, the cold outside and my unfortunately neurotic personality, but i need to snap out of it really fast. i don't want my new nickname to be Debby Downer...

a little bit embarrassed that britney's new song "if you want to seek amy" has been stuck in her head for the past 12 hours.
