hey tumblr.

as you are likely aware, tomorrow is december first.

you might remember how i have moved around quite a bit this year, so it may not come as a surprise to you that tomorrow, i move again. you’re curious how many places i’ve lived this year? oh good because i made this list just for you:

  1. started off the year with H (the husband) in delaney park.
  2. stayed with my dear friends heath & michael for about a month starting at the end of january.
  3. took over my friend’s lease in thornton park from march to july.
  4. paid double rent for the month of july to move in with some friends off mills & 50. i lived there for approximately six weeks.
  5. stayed with H for two weeks in college park.
  6. got an apartment with H in altamonte springs in september. 
  7. and now here i am, moving again tomorrow to probably the best apartment situation i have ever had. 

this is going to be good for real y’all. so. seven times later i am sick of moving. this apartment will be my 10th living situation in orlando since i moved here in 2008. 10 times in 3 years is too.fucking.many.times. SOMEONE HOLD ME DOWN. i need to bolt my shit to the ground or something. 

in other news i am getting my beloved last name back soonsoon! the koogle shall live again!

also finals/adventures/and planning things to do for winter break. i have decided to declare a russian winter and lock myself in my room to learn russian piano pieces and read russian authors. if you have any suggestions plzplz tell me, it would be greatly appreciated ! 

last thing, a friend of mine coined a term and you should add it to your mental dictionary:

bonvecchio - (bawn-veck-kio) to flake out of plans; ditch without good reason

it’s the greatest word you’ve learned all day! use it. it’s fun to say.

adreamofconsciousness:

jen and robin have got a big city set up.

das my haus
this is the fourth time this year my trusty little scion has been full of my shit. since i moved to orlando three years ago i have lived in six and a half different places with seventeen different people. i’m a pretty ‘vibe-y’ girl i guess you could say, not really in the hippie sense but you know what i mean, about getting ‘feelings’ about certain situations or people. this place i’m moving into tomorrow feels the most like me and i feel completely comfortable in it. with things like this i usually go along with it even when it feels wrong, even when i know i would prefer a different situation, because i don’t see any other option. this place fell into our laps and i fell in love with it. today i purchased paint that i absolutely adore and my room is going to be incredible. this is the first time i have done things in the most efficient order and felt like this room will be totally mine. i know it’s seemingly trite but i’m just really delighted to finally be able to have a space i treasure and a space that really reflects me. 
it all comes back to this common theme in my life as of late of wanting to be understood.
i want everything i call my own to be a near-comprehensive reflection of myself. i want anyone to be able to walk into my room and be able to say they knew it had to be mine. in the same way, i want every word i speak to articulate the perception i see of myself. that’s probably why i always get myself in trouble for saying too much. i want to be known, i want every cause and effect to be apparent such that no false construction of my personality is ever formed in anyone’s mind. i’m not very good at this and i usually end up word-vomiting my personal life all over people/tumblr. (sorry guys) if you ever want to fuck with my head, tell me that some aspect of me doesn’t fit with how you see me. i’ll be reeling for weeks. 
all that to say i like to portray myself as real-ly as possible, from rooms to clothes to hair to handwriting to blogs. even when i dress up completely different, i’m experimenting with different facets of myself and turning them up louder than they usually are so that i can study my interactions and emotions and how they differ purely from how i’ve presented myself. i definitely get a lot more attention on a regular basis since i cut my hair super short. although it’s just hair and it’s still me underneath the follicles, hair says so much about a person. pretty much everyone has said that with short hair i seem more like ‘robin’. really that wasn’t what i was thinking when i cut it, i was just antsy and spontaneous. like i do. what am i talking about now. i’ve been rambling a lot lately WHAT IS MY DEAL.
ANYWHO. i’m moving tomorrow. i feel like i’m finally getting a grip on my self.
DID I MENTION HOW FUCKING CUTE THIS APARTMENT IS. pictures soon. 
ps, shout out to my lil scion, you’re supa cute and you’ve served me well babygirl. i’m sorry i’ve been thinking about selling you.
this was taken by the lovely jennifer medina and also happens to be one of my favorite spots in orlando. it’s magic. i would love to take you there.
