Flurry of domestic activity due to absence of roommates. I like them, I promise, but I feel a lot better when no one is around. Even though I mostly clean for the benefit of others...

Cooked remaining food ingredients. Among other things I didn't use, I had:
dry lentils
half a vidalia onion
like six carrots, two of which I ate raw while I was stirring and foraging for spices
2/3 clove of garlic
boring rice
curry powder
cloves
chili powder
cumin
nutmeg
pepper
garlic powder
ginger
(don't worry, I didn't use all the spices we had; some sounded like a bad idea or just overkill)

So I was kind of dumping in random spices, mostly curry, in boiling water, with what I had in my fridge/fridge area boiling in it. Had no idea what it would turn out like, but it yielded non-disgusting food. The carrots were surprisingly sweet and good and soft and contrasting - normally I prefer them raw, but with all the random spices and lentils and onions and garlic, it just worked. I still have reasonable food for the next day or two, but I should really think about shopping for groceries again. Maybe also boot shopping, because chris wants to go? (good thing mal decided it would not be advisable for him to accompany us on the underwear-shopping trip she has planned when she gets back because she alleges it's fun to be girly)

Then I got bored and baked brownies, which probably baked too long because while they were in the oven, I unloaded all the crap that was in the dishwasher and hand-washed a huge pile of other dishes. Waiting for the brownies to cool, I cleaned the stove and countertops and organized the pots and pans and cabinets more.

Then I went into my room. And cleaned it. Saturday I will take my recycling with me to Construction Junction.

Pity the bathroom was already clean. Maybe not so much.

(My roommates were watching tv when I first entered the kitchen, all decided to take naps, got up and put on perfume and dressy clothes, and all left to hit the bars while I stuck the brownies in the oven.)

But I dunno, I didn't feel like reading the one book I have or doing much online or with my painting, and the males of exec have yet to send me refs. I didn't feel like singing either, which I sometimes do when I feel reasonably certain nobody is within earshot. I was going through my options and didn't feel like there were that many, apart from "to make and inspire the home." Goddamn you, estrogen. Computer science should fix these problems next half of the summer.

I managed to talk to some people, though, and earlier on in the day I had dance, although I didn't like it as much as prior classes. Maybe I have a grudge against accompanists, maybe just the idea of random dudes watching in general, or maybe it's just 'cause I felt like I sucked at the combo.

I need to get my ass a library card, though. Maybe, apart from the delicious pedantic literature other people find boring and things in french just because and novels I find interesting and scifi and kerouac others recommend and comic books, I'll manage to read about some science or something and feel like less of a fruit loop. I want to love materials.

I am kind of a terrible person, but the people I sit next to on buses don't suspect a thing.

Seriously, Victoria's Secret is not a store for dudes.

And I mostly want to go boot shopping so you don't say you want boots and then be wishy-washy about it for forever. You even had determination and a whole week, but didn't make it happen...

Embrace your femininity, it's not a bad thing. csawyer theorized that girls in CIT (and I suspect it holds true for SCS as well) are one of the guys about 95% of the time and make up for it the other 5%.
