being handy is not the be-all and end-all of butchness, okay? aka procraaaastination.

I was just remembering how Michelle O'Brien has these awesome bookshelves that she built herself. I wish I could build shit, because I have way too many books and it's not like I can just take some of the surplus up to school with me (in part because when I have books I'd rather read instead of assigned readings, fucken right I read the books that I want to.) Of course I cannot build things, well at least not in that very concrete sense. Once I helped Cristina assemble a very little bookshelf and I seriously think that's what fucked us for the butch-femme dynamic. I'm joking but seriously. Hm. I'm almost done packing, I guess. I need some undershirts. My room here is a mess, which is surprising cos I thought once I got packed the amount of clutter would significantly decrease. Nope. Well, here ends procrastination post #2; I'm gonna finish packing and it's gonna feel so good, and then I will stretch and hopefully eat some ice cream and then I will enjoy the company of my mom and my cat because that is exactly how cool my last day at home is. In other words, just right.

ps- Ooh and oh I get to see my girl tomorrow! I think she will be wearing knee-high boots when I pick her up which is extra exciting and she will probably make me carry her bags and I am so excited, I haven't seen Cristina in 3 months.

The handiest book shelves ever are milk crates. You can use masking tape to hold them all together when they're being shelves. When it's time to move, cut the tape, flip them on their bottoms, and you're packed to go. I've had the same ones for more than 6 years.

Yes, but, if I did that, I would never have to learn how to build simple things with wood and nails ever.

Sure you would, just not bookcases. You could focus on zine racks.

Zine racks! Okay, now I'm sold.
