All Alone...

Today was my first day completely alone in this house. It was all good (no worrying about strangers hiding in corners), but it was lonely. I wanted to go for a walk, but it was raining all afternoon, and then it was dark :( Hopefully I'll have the opportunity tomorrow. I've been positively bored all day, regardless of whether I was doing work or avoiding it. I might watch a movie. But to occupy more time, QOTDs.

361. Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "heart".
Body organ.

362. What's your favourite colour?
Green, but verging into teal.

363. What is your current desktop picture?

364. If you could press a button and make anyone in the world instantaneously explode, who would it be?
Although some people are tempting, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

365. What would be a question you'd be afraid to tell the truth on?
What's your dirty little secret?

Dinner

Tonight I made spaghetti carbonara for dinner. I wasn't sure how it would turn out because it calls for:
- minced garlic
- bacon
- the bacon's grease
- parmesan cheese
And I used:
- garlic powder
- bacon bits
- oil
- lets be serious, what university student has parmesan cheese?
And then there's the whole raw egg bit. But I looked it up and the egg cooks when it hits the hot spaghetti, so I think I'm good. Although you should probably keep an eye out for symptoms of salmonella. Anyways, it turned out really good. Seriously good. Like, wishing I had made more so that I can have more. It will definitely be added to my list of regular meals to make. Yeah. That's all I got to say about that.
I bought these really cute shoes yesterday. I'm calling them my gift to myself to help me get through midterm stress.

I went on a walk this morning. I looked on Google Maps to see if there was a park nearby, and there's one just a couple blocks down. So I headed in that direction, only to find the intersection closed for construction. So I had to talk a detour. I eventually did make it to the park, but by that point, I had walked so far that I didn't actually spend too much time in the park, but started trying to make my way back. On the way back I stopped by a store kind of like the old Toy Shoppe of London, but with stuff for collectors as well (like baseball cards, comics, etc). I saw this game called Concept that looks like it would be fun to play. It's about trying to get people to guess a word or a phrase by giving them pictures and colours. (e.g. if the word was "bee", you would give them "yellow", "black", "animal", "small", and "flying"). It seems like it would be fun. The phrases would obviously be much harder.
Now I have to go write another 2 pages for my Digital Culture paper. If anybody has any advice about writing introduction paragraphs, let me know.

268. Age you get mistaken for?
OH HOW I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW! I've always been really curious about this. And you can't ask people who know you, because they take your actual age into account. From people at camp the oldest I got was 23.

My Walk: A Summary

I went on a walk today around Ring Rd because it was so beautiful. And here are some comments on said walk:
- it was like 5 degrees and I was loving it
- my boots are not as waterproof as I had hoped they would be
- personal space. Ok, so I was walking on the right side of the sidewalk, like you're supposed to. I wasn't like right at the edge, but I wasn't walking in the middle of the sidewalk either. There's this guy walking towards me in the middle of the sidewalk. And he just keeps walking in the middle as he passes me. I mean, it's not like we were going to collide or anything, but personal bubble, buddy. You could take one step to the side. Yeesh.
- janitor standing at the side of a building just casually flossing his teeth. No biggie
- there are Asians everywhere
- it should not go back to being cold
- because this is beautiful
- trying to sing along to the song your listening to but you don't want others to think that you're talking to yourself
- I've always wanted to wear a pedometer
- but then I feel like I would just get really depressed about the lack of steps I was taking

112. Do you like your neighbours?
Yeah, they're ok I guess. I don't really talk to them a lot, but they say hi in the hall which is nice. They could tidy their room up a little though. And maybe open the blinds every once in a while.

113. What are your bad habits?
Convincing myself that it's okay to read another chapter, and then ending up going to bed at like 2AM. (it's even worse if I'm on tumblr, cause it's just infinite scroll, so there's no break where I can tell myself, this is where you'll stop)

It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall
