Dream Diary #36 | House of Cats and the Bunny Rabbit from Hell

For some reason, every time I dream of animals, they scare me sooo much.

Like they're not just regular animals you see in everyday life, but more like...demonic monsters.

So last night I dreamt of cats. Furry crazy ass cats. Not just one cat, but many many cats.

And I HATE HATE HATE cats in real life and am super allergic to them. So it was so bizarre that I dreamt about hanging around with those demon creatures at someone's house. I forgot whose house it was, but I do remember that they abandoned me there to help them take care of their cats. Everywhere I turned, there was a cat. And they just wouldn't leave me alone!!! And oddly enough, the cats could kinda talk and understand me? I even told one cat to close the door for me when I was trying to run away and it did. JEEPERS.

And of course, once I escaped the House of Cats, I ran into another demonic animal, but this time it was a bunny rabbit. As I was trying to ask people for directions to get back home,  I see this creature out of the corner of my eye. And it honestly looked like a gray wrinkly baby elephant. And I thought, "Oh that's kinda cute...but why is there an elephant here?" Turns out that it definitely wasn't an elephant. One of the people I was talking to started explaining to me that it was actually a rabbit--a really huge and terrifying bunny rabbit. A bunny rabbit the size of a horse. A bunny rabbit that started sprinting right at me and getting all up in my face. 

NO THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I definitely woke up with massive anxiety after that dream.

A VERY Belated and Classy Birthday Post

So I'm finally coming back on the blog posting wagon after dropping off it for a while. It's kinda hard to start doing something again after you don't do it for a while. But here we go. 

A week ago was my birthday! And half a week ago was Sydney's birthday! Happy belated birthday to us! And happy birthday to Trisha today! 

I went home for my birthday to celebrate with the family last weekend, and Sydney and I had a joint birthday dinner. It was at this fancy little French restaurant called Tapenade in La Jolla. Of course, our family pretty much took up half the restaurant because there's so many of us. We ate a bunch of fancy food, and had a bunch of yummy wine. Of course, there was a delicious looking birthday dessert (chocolate!!!) I also got the bonus of getting to see GG for like 30 minutes haha. It was fun being at home, even though it was literally for like 1.5 days. See you guys at Thanksgiving!

I got tons of amazing gifts from everybody. Definitely lots of elephant things (thank you Chelsea and my cuzzos and my amazing roomies!) and a polaroid camera (finally!) and other odds and ends and sweet things (we killed that chocolate SO FAST, Polina). THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Then the weekend after that we had some more classy celebrating (and also some not classy celebrating, but I don't have pictures of that haha). We had a little girls' night in SLO at Meze Wine Bar & Bistro. The bubbly was pink and delicious, and they had really good food too. We played some more when we got home. And I got a little carsick. Whoops. Avoid party regret please. And the next day, Maggie made us really really delicious fried eggs in tortilla baskets. YES. And then we all played again.

The End.

My Little Desk

A peek of my room so far! 

So I'm still organizing and getting it all together the way I like, but I think I'm finally finished with my desk. The little white and blue bucket was only $1 at Target--I LOVE THE DOLLAR SECTION. I put my car keys and my room keys in there so I won't forget where I put them. I made good use of the boxes I got from in the IKEA post for holding all my school supplies. And yeah, there really are a ton of them. I used the box lid to hold my sticky notes (I also picked up some really cute owl notes) and the jar holds a few bars of chocolate for emergencies. My allergy medicine found a special little spot there too because my allergies were absolutely rampant the first day here. 

And of course the elephant. That little guy is so cute and red and makes me so happy seeing him on my desk. He kinda just moves around all over the desk, depending on where I need to put my stuff. He's basically a nomad elephant. I got the white crate from Target, so I put all my books and folders (plus Seventeen Magazine haha) in there. I'm still working on figuring out how to put things on my wall so I can hang up the string lights and other wall decorations. So for now, all that's really done is my desk. And my bed. But I didn't take pictures of that yet haha.

The Elephant In The Room (Literally)

Ever since I found out I would be going to SLO, I've slowly been buying little things to decorate my room and make it feel homier once I move. There were some really nice sales going on this summer, so I managed to get some really cute things for a bargain!

 The gold box on top is actually a long string of plastic gold beads? I don't know if I would really call them beads, but they're little plastic gold things strung on a long string. I got these ages and ages ago from a Crate&Barrel clearance sale I think. I also got some string lights from Target!

 This red elephant is my FAVORITE. As anyone knows, I'm slightly obsessed with elephants right now. And the fact that this elephant is red (my favorite color) makes it even better. 

 And last but not least, a ceramic jar with a bright orange top. I was originally going to use this as a candle holder, but we're not allowed to bring candles into the apartment. So I'll find some other use for this. I got the jar and the elephant from Michaels when they were on clearance.

Nothing in my room is going to match at all, but I think it'll turn out amazing. I never match anything anyways.
