october 31

it's a muriel day. I'm wearing a black hoodie + scarf + day-old eyeliner also warm+unfashionable boots and you can only see ONE of my eyes because my ratty hair is like permanently flopped over the other one. I feel like I'm glaring at everyone and everything but it's really just that I'm exhausted. 

For some reason I also feel vaguely like I'm looming over everything. I think it's because the tiredness is making everything seem much more far away than usual? it's like. I feel taller because the ground looks farther away and also I feel heavier because I'm birbing EXHAUSTED. birb

 

standout costumes I've seen around campus today:

- cal kestis. the little droid hanging off his back and the coolest long red leather coat I have ever seen

- flynn rider. somehow instantly recognizable as such even though his clothes aren't particularly attention grabby (possibly it was the frying pan that clued me in)

-  there were others but I have been elbow deep in physics for the last hour and now I don't remember any of them

 

not much wind today though. blessing from heaven

  1. You had me at "red leather coat." Also, Star Wars. Anything Star Wars.

    Interesting that you feel taller when you are exhausted. I feel several inches shorter when I stay up way too late.

  2. it's like. the heaviness combined with the feeling like I take up too much space. if I'm tired I start to dissociate from my body and so it feels more like a weight that I have to drag around than a part of me. the result is that it also feels bigger/longer. my feet feel farther away from me and it's hard to explain.

    I WISH i felt shorter, lol. I've always thought being really short would be fun to try for a few days. alas...
