Meet my new lamp! My friends Caitlin and Eileen were in need of mugs and miniskirts, respectively, so today I introduced them to one of my favorite thrift stores in Bowling Green, the Clothes Lion. It's such a great place, with more knick-knacky finds than anything else, including an Art Deco theater chair (for a mere $175) and tons of Illinois license plates for some reason. I picked this up because I was in need of something to illuminate my desk. My room is all done up in old things--my grandmother recently moved house and let me have at all her extra vases and the like and I'm really into crazy flea market things anyway. I think when I get my own place I'm not going to have anything new.Afterward we went to a show that featured one really bad band and one good band and I just spent an hour trying to decide what to wear tomorrow, my first day of classes. It's totally silly, I know, but I feel like most of the ones I'm going to take are going to be the intimate, centered-around-discussion kind, and so there's a bit of pressure. I ended up picking out the kind of thing I wear everyday. My first class is not until 11 o'clock and it's called Speculative Fiction, which means I won't be reading the Odyssey. I'm pretty excited about that.
Oh, and thanks for putting up with my LiLo impression in the last post. I'm really not a bad person. And interesting writings will follow.

speculative fiction?!?! What the fuck?!!! I'm glad I'm pretty much done with school!
I love that lamp.
1) i have that lamp. it was my bedside table light growing up, so bravo, good choice.
2) are you mourning heath ledger like i am? how horrible is this? yes, i agree, truly awful.
I like the lamp, & it's good to hear you're back I've missed you. :)
Nicole: Yes, so, so tragic. I feel really bad for his and Michelle Williams's baby!
Love the lamp...cute and simple...
my friend had a fiction class where she read poirot. It sounded super fun.
i have a lamp like that and love it, but a word of caution: be careful. I was sitting on my dresser putting on makeup and leaned over and burned my stomach. I know, I'm the idiot, but a word of caution from me to you lol
speculative fiction classes and the like are what makes me look forward to college. I should start counting down the days.
Lilo?
Did you get a spray tan while drinking redbulls and wearing black leggings?
haha, no, just broadcasted my drinking problem. They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no. Wait. Which one is that again?
me too!!! little matilda is one of the most adorable kids i've ever seen. :( *drinks wine as a toast to his life... and to get rid of the shock/awe i'm still feeling and will feel for the next... week, maybe year or so*
That lamp looks so neat! I love vintage treasures - i bet your room looks fab.
mugs and miniskirts would make a great title. speculative fiction. i want to hear about that one.
It’s a very nice lamp but you should get a nice lamp shade for it.
And I think my dad taught a speculative fiction course at one time or another.
That lamp is very cool. Don't ever look at it while it is on, though, or you will blink purple and green.
Ditto on not having any new furniture when I have my own place. Love the lamp. And as I was telling The Iron Chic, I took a feminist sci-fi literature class last year, speculative fiction sounds just as interesting.
The lamp is brilliant! Like a giant bulb..
That lamp is so cute, I love it!
It's a fab lamp! It's art nouveau, isn't it?
Cool lamp! Glad to hear that you will be posting again - I have missed your sparkling witticisms. Hope the first day goes well!
oh the lamp is lovely!
Ooh, I wanna check out that store where u got your lamp!
That's cute, almost looks like you could keep some jewelry in the base.
The boy and I were talking about furniture and such for when we move out last night and he wants everything to be new, his mom is one of those people who go way overboard on all the antique stuff, I just said it's not going to happen.
Love the lamp!
Lovely lamp!

I've always planned my first day of school outfits. When I was little, I never understood why my friends didn't haha! So don't feel silly because I'm sure we all do it. HA!
Have fun with your class! I had to read the Odyssey last year and boy was it ultra boring. We had to talk mythology for 9th grade English. So it was forced upon me.
Nice lamp. :] & yeah I took a while picking out my outfit for today also. Hope your first day went well!
I have something for you on my blog.
so, am I really the first one to pull out "I LOVE LAMP"? haha. but really, it's adorable, and best of luck with school this semester.
that lamp is great/blinding
i love that thought of not getting anything new.
