Things I can do to cheer myself up:
- Finish a few short stories, or at least keep working on the ones I've started.
- Spend more time in the kitchen; cooking, baking, playing with tupperware (did you know that I'm obsessed with tupperware?).
Part of my tupperware collection
- Finish watching Grey Gardens (which I had never watched until last night, for some reason) because, oh my god, it could always be worse (conversely, I really want to start talking/dressing like Little Edie because, my lands, isn't she just the most???).
- Look into renter's rights in California so I can stop obsessively worrying about the certified letter I got from my ex-landlord the other day, that was essentially a bill for an ungodly amount, with a promise of another forthcoming bill due to that whole "people kept getting killed in my neighborhood so I broke my lease and moved" thing which, despite my most valiant effort to pretend that whole part of my life never happened, continues to exist.
- Get my car fixed. done!
- Adhere those little but loud burglar alarms to my windows, which in turn will help me sleep at night because I'll stop obsessing that someone is going to break in while I sleep, which causes me to sleep without ear plugs and with the lights on which results in the WORST night of sleep ever. Really, I think lack of sleep is a big contributor to my current predicament/unhappiness/unmotivatedness.
- Start taking drum lessons again...and practicing again. Find some friends to "jam" with so I don't feel like I'm putting effort into something fruitless.
Hardstark: the band that never was [I know it looks like I'm picking my nose in this photo, but I'm not, I'm "contemplating"]
- Join a dodgeball team and start playing again. Nothing gets out pent-up frustration like getting sweaty and whipping balls (ha!) at people, all while wearing short-shorts and knee socks.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Tell me, dear reader, what's something you could you do to make yourself more happy? It's delurking week, fyi, so you're kinda obligated to comment. Sorry, I don't make the bloggy rules, I just twist them to use to my advantage in order to feed my ego (i.e. comments make me happy).

I commented! The other day! Because I just refound you again, super randomly, on Tumblr. Bitterbyrden/Unsustainable/Serenaded Hourly/PlusKate = me. Just saying hello and would love to catch up. I suppose I have a lot of reading to do in order to catch up. SIGH.
I could spend less time worrying/overanalyzing what is going to happen in the future and just start enjoying the present. But I won't.
Recalling the wisdom of Avenue Q with "there is life outside your apartment." I mean, what, you're actually supposed to leave the couch every forty-eight hours or so?
to make myself more happy i could quit my job - wow, that sounds ridiculously dramatic
I quit drinking diet soda this week, so I think a nice, cold Diet Pepsi would do wonders for my bad mood. I am going to try to stick it out, though.
Something I could do to make myself more happy ?
- Find a not too expensive flight to go and see my fiance who is on business in an other country.
- Find the perfect present for my best friend's baby shower.
- To finally be able to pick up the puppy I've been waiting for for 4 months now !
Any of those would make me so happy.
If I could make myself clean my office I would be happy. I guess actually totally quit procrastinating and be more productive all around. I saw Grey Gardens, those two definately marched to a different drum. I enjoy reading your blog because you have such an open mind that your interests are very diverse which makes you an interesting multifaceted person. I only commented because you made me.
Re-de-lurking (is that possible?) to offer one of the most simple things that makes me happy: singing at the top of my lungs.
Hmmm... to make myself more happy, I could do hot yoga more. I used to live right next to the studio, and it was the shiz. But now I live farther away, and I don't bartend = I'm poor... Sad Face.
I've been thinking a lot lately about taking a creative writing class, and so I plan to when the next session starts, in March. Moderate increase in happiness, here I come!
More pictures of your legs.
Finding new fun blogs to read through comments on the bloggess's page makes me happy... Consider yourself bookmarked!
Play softball, book bands. There's more but it's winter and the PA is still up in the air.
-go some place warm until the winter is over (so i do not lose my mind)
-not be so hard on myself for gaining weight while pregnant. i'm supposed to be gaining a little weight right now, so let nature happen and not get so depressed about it.
-get to visit SF before I become a mom
writing and music and moving woes? anytime you want to get a drink let me know. it'll be like talking to a mirror.
but good idea on what i can do this week to make me more happy. and i am going to try and move beyond watching TV and boozing. those were last week's ideas. i am going to start with writing, working on music and making out with a cute boy.
also, i'm too shy to ask people to delurk on my blog.
i would...cut my nails & play my guitar. and go to tap class! i mean, i did get the shoes. annnndd dance more. and get my motorcycle running. and start making things again...basically that. start making things again!
