don't get between a girl and her tools

today mana and i ran around shopping. then we went to the tool store. i immediately turned to mana and said, this is your domain. sniff out the nails!

and she did. she then used the nails to hang my tapestry, while i stood around and looked useless. she's a little problem solver, that one. we also put my lamp together, but i could have done that on my own (though it would have taken me longer to figure out the lightbulb thing without her help). my room is prettier, but now i have to face the beast: unpacking. my poor mama, i guilt-tripped her about how everyone's room was more set up than mine because they had parents helping them. which is only partway true. and it's not like i haven't been busy or exhausted; i've been both. and i'm neglecting feministas. argh. at least my damn registration is done, may i get all my classes (crosses self, realizes not catholic, crosses fingers instead).

i need to sleep with someone. preferably soon.
