I bought some henna samples from hennapage.com
They're ok but I've used better. It may just be the mix I did.
Here's the outcome

Another Amazing Date

I know its been a while, and I'm sorry for it.

Whats going on in my life in the new year?
I have 2 jobs, one wiht the library and another witht he school paper as their advertising manager.
Dealing with other people to learn how to do something fo ryour job is not the best thing ever. I'm currently playing phone tag with a guy from College Publisher to try adn do a demo to learn how to advertise and post advertisements online. Its been three days of phone tag and he isn't in the office on weekends -_-
I have 17 hours of classes, almost all of which have a stack of books to read. I'm also teaching a class on Jane Austen, reading four of her books (Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, and Emma).
All of this on top of a boyfriend who and friends as well as my writing...

As for something a lil more personal and recent yesterday DC took me on a beautiful date.
We went to lunch at my favorite oriental fusion restaurant where I had sushi and redbean mochi buns which I've been craving for weeks.
After eating and talking like an old couple for an hour we went to the historic district of the city and walked around in the snow flurries. There were beautiful houses and storefronts. We had expensive gourmet chocolates at Earth and Sky (I had a honey and lavender truffle which was amazing and DC had a peanut butter thing that was very sweet and yummy) and looked at antique stores and I bought an Indian purse necklace at a shop that sells trinkets and statues from Asia and South America.
Just walking around in teh cold holding hands and kissing under the snowy sky was so romantic and its those pictures that stay in my mind when I think of DC.

Sorry for the gush but I had to post and figured this was the best thing thats happened to me in a while.
