swear to shake it up if you swear to listen

 hellooo blog.

happy 51st post, shame I didn't realize for the 50th. about a month until my two-year blogiversary :) 

current obsessions: audiobook in the car, playing the sims, and trader joes kimbap.

i have gone on 4 almost full-day drives in the past week. traveling for the holidays, you know. two were 6 hours, and the others were 3. i discovered the secret to long drives, it's audiobooks. and podcasts and music, rotating through each every hour or so. and the real key is to stop as little as possible. i only really feel tired when i park at a rest stop for a bit. and i just tell myself, the time will pass anyways, so why not spend it driving? 

been pondering quitting being vegetarian lately. i have been for all of my nineteen years. well, i was a pescatarian from birth and then quit fish at some point in my early teens. don't know exactly what's making me consider this change. maybe it would make my nails or hair stronger. i could definitely use more protein. let's put a pin in this.

end of the year approaching. how i wish that december was included in spotify wrapped, i'm really putting in the hours this month. currently staring at the magazine page of dylan brady and laura les taped to the wall above my computer. i write all of my blog posts out of order. usually i write a little about whatever topics prompted me to make a post in the first place, and then i try to think of something i could write a lot about to make the post longer. i keep adding little things i do in each post, like current obsessions and media. borrowed current obsessions from a high school friend, and got media (of the week) from emergency intercom. my process is a bit like emergency intercom's, like how drew and enya have their little notes of things to talk about. except i'm just writing for no reason.  

things i have found recently that i have been fond of: the smell of beeswax in the grocery store aisle. a book of perfume samples from sephora. the quote "if it scares you, you're just gonna have to do it scared." a car covered in familiar bumper stickers. my old pixie hollow and harry potter pop up books. 

that's all for this time. until the next post x
