it's been a while

so, i... uh...

...have not posted at all this year.

here is a quick selection of photos summing up the last few months.

as always you can follow me on instagram, @wormtongues, or on tumblr where i am the-witchqueen

but i would really like to come back here sometimes.

i have been working a lot (more than i would like to be working) and i have gotten overwhelmed. as often happens, with the advent of the warm weather, i am feeling more motivated and more human.

 i work only a few blocks from where the building collapsed in the east village in march. it was a really scary and sad day. this was the view from my workplace. there is still a giant hole where those buildings were, but the area is largely back to the way it was--business are open and thriving, other than the ones that were destroyed.

 my mom visited in march and we went to the chelsea markets together, something a bit 'touristy' that i wouldn't normally do on my own.

one of the highlights was a mexican/japanese place we grabbed dinner at. i know it sounds weird but it was really good.

 i made oscar this batnip toy

 i visited my dad in pennsylvania and went for a walk in the woods with an old and dear high school friend. 

 it was one of the first warm days, and i think we ended up walking about 15 miles altogether that day. 

 i don't get a lot of time in nature--new york city has a lot to offer, but not that--so it was really lovely to just take a day and wander. we hardly saw any other people. 

 so, yeah, i'm going to columbia in the fall! i'm going to be getting a masters in social work. i'm incredibly excited!

 oscar is still the little light of my life. 

my dad got married! here i am with him and my sister at the reception.


 my sister and i along with my new stepsisters were the bridesmaids. we all have very different personal styles and so the bride decided to allow us to choose our own bridesmaids dresses, so long as they were knee-length and navy blue. this was mine!

i got this notebook because it looks like oscar.
