I have this “donate” button on my blog. And I was just wondering if you could donate just one dollar/pound… I mean, if each of my followers did that, I’d have over 1800$… The thing is, I need money for medicines and food. We just got a letter from court saying that we still have some outstanding…

Well, okay.

My askbox is being really weird, so if you’re sending me messages and I’m not replying, it means I’m not receiving them.

yes on the beanbag front. I meant in the future, when I’m sophisticated enough to own a couch

Darling, I’m sure you’ll always be sophisticated

You’ll be like that young thirty-something with a pencil skirt and a perfect sheet of panteen-ad hair holding a martini glass

standing on the cream carpet of your expansive and modern apartment

smiling as the guests for your drinks night come in dressed in their cocktail dresses and fashionable but classy dress shirts

By the way,

I know my blog hasn’t been all that exciting lately - I’ve been really snowed under with schoolwork and studying until late every night trying to fit everything in, and then after the study’s done I’m only in the mood for watching a movie.

Soon classes will be out and I’ll just have two exams before the holidays. It’ll be a relief to get back to running as well, I have literally not had time for anything other school, not my instruments or songwriting or drawing or painting or writing or humorous summaries or anything.

i for one love cows. in egypt i am told to have your eyes compared to a cow is quite the compliment.

Yes, I remember reading that somewhere!

well gal you can always come crash on my couch if you want heheh

~~Kara what are you saying you don’t have a couch~~

I can’t really take anyone seriously if they try to use “moody cow” as an insult...

Thu, 31 May 2012 07:24:53 -0400

I can’t really take anyone seriously if they try to use “moody cow” as an insult because I am a really moody person. This is something I just know about myself. I’m crabby, irritable, temperamental, and very moody, and when I’m in a mood I can be a very unpleasant person. I’m the sort of person who, if they’re left alone in a bad mood, will upend chairs and throw things at the wall. This is part of the reason I’m going to have a hard time finding someone psychologically disturbed enough to willingly flatshare with me.

As for the “cow” part, it’s a bit ridiculous and dated and all I can think of is

Are you still a moody cow?

Thu, 31 May 2012 07:15:16 -0400

That’s my secret, Cap.

I’m always a moody cow.
