Of Swedish electronica and sweaters.

 The more I drive, the more I have this rapidly increasing love of electronic music. Moriah and I rocked out to the above song all day (disclaimer: a bit of swearing). I want to go to a party just so I can awkward-white-person-dance to this song and then leave. Or, the likelier option, drive around, obnoxiously blasting it to the best of the Jetta radio's ability without damaging my eardrums, wearing a ridiculously teenaged outfit and dance at stop lights while people in other cars judge me. I'm currently alternating between that one song and Sufjan Stevens to contrast enough to make it as danceable as possible every time. It makes me want to consider trashing any life plans and become part of a female electronica duo from Sweden. Anyone want to join? I need to use my endless sass and lack of sentimentality for something. From what I see here, Swedish electronica seems like a good outlet for those two qualities. Also, I could probably wear whatever I want for the rest of my life and everyone would be ok with it. 

This weekend was pretty great. On Saturday, I spent a few hours at the library (which has magical de-stressing properties), ate a skor cupcake, went thrifting and got both a mug with a face and a new sweater.* After baking cookies with opera in the background, I went to watch Doctor Who at Tatyana's which didn't happen because the TV guide was lying to us and said it wasn't on.**

Today I ate breakfast at Moriah's, as is our weekly pre-church tradition, and caught up because despite the fact that I have three classes with her, I rarely get a chance to talk to her. In the afternoon, we curled up and watched "Legally Blonde: The Musical" and I'm sorely disappointed that this was my first encounter with that masterpiece.

This had all the elements to make this the weekend that I needed. Library, friends, laying on Tatyana's floor and consuming lots of food containing loads of cheese.

* I have a continuously growing collection of old man sweaters, which thanks to the Canadian fall being upon me,  I get to start wearing on a steady basis with my equally large collection of scarves. I should start posting pictures because those sweaters are really fantastic, especially as a collection. In related news, I don't even know what has been going on with my clothes lately but I appreciate it. I think it clicked that I'm a senior and somehow my clothing choices are affected by that. I mean, I unashamedly wore bright blue tights last week and didn't feel self conscious in the least.

(Today's fantastic sweater and not fantastic hair.)

** I would be infuriated with the lying TV guide, but I was invited to a Doctor Who party next Saturday. A bunch of people are gathering to eat Doctor Who related food stuffs, drink tea and be emotionally supportive to each other during the big episode. There is no more enjoyable way that I can think of how to spend a Saturday night. Why my friends so cool.
Love,
