143/365 HI EVERYONE LOOK IT'S MY ROOM! i didn't have time to take a real 365 today because my friend was over and we were making cupcakes and being stalkers and watching coraline and after that i went to a sweet 16. so i figured i would just um...stand on my bed and make a stupid face. i like seeing pictures of other people's rooms. so here's mine. well, part of it, anyway. i noted it up cause it's 12:39 am and i have nothing better to do (besides go to bed ha sleep ha) i was tagged. 1. most of the time my room is a mess. i clean it up whenever people come over. then i let it get messy again. 2. i'm currently sitting curled up in a ball at my desk thinking of things about myself and trying not to fall asleep, and i'm failing at both. 3. my limbs fall asleep a lot. especially my feet. i'm starting to think i have circulation problems or something. this morning i woke up and my entire leg from my hip to my foot was going numb. and my foot is falling asleep at the moment. 4. whenever i'm alone and i look in a mirror i always make faces in it, i can't resist :P 5. there's a giant flying bug in my room right now and i'm afraid i'm going to wake up with it sitting on my face or something but i'm too lazy to get up and do something about it. 6. i have a lot of really embarrassing socks. like christmas socks and halloween socks and socks with a cat face on each one (they're my favorite socks because they are the softest everrrrr). i like socks. 7. wow it's already 12:55 see how terrible i am at thinking of facts? it's been 25 minutes and i'm still on #7. my arm/hand is falling asleep now. 8. ook i owe you guys 3 facts cause now it's 1:06, i still can't think of any facts, and that's the fourth or fifth time i've fallen asleep curled up in my desk chair and now i have giant red marks on my leg from it being pressed into my desk :P i just watched glee and now i'm going to go eat a cupcake. then work on my term paper. 9. i've never broken a bone, despite all the dangerous things i did as a child with my brothers. 10. peonies are my favorite flower. there's a white one sitting on my desk at the moment. and a bunch growing in my backyard.

another 365 days reject. but i have to talk about these pants.

i've had these particular pajama pants for nearly seven years. i bought them off of a sale rack at an old navy store in des moines, iowa. i bought these pants specifically because they have cowboys riding horses through the mountains...

if you know me in real life, then you are already aware of the obsession i have with gauchos de argentina. so yes, for all of these years, these have been my spanish-speaking cowboy pajama pants.

i used to live, platonically, with this really great guy named peter jourdan. he is, without a doubt, the best roommate i have ever had. and one of the best straight guy friends i have. ( i have a lot of gay guy friends) anyways, peter hated these pants. every time i would wear them and wander around the apartment he would tell me to take them off.

and it is for this reason that i can't throw them away. despite the fact that they are worn thin and a bit full of holes. living with peter was one of the greatest chapters of my life. and that time is filled with a lot of memories that i hold onto. and these silly gaucho de argentina pajama pants are apart of that.
