Pulled a muscle in my ass, and other things.

So, in an effort to stop spending so much bloody money, I went shopping.

Whoops.

Majority was food, though, so does that actually count? I can't be sure. I bought one of those fancy Evernote notebooks because I've been drooling over it for months, and just found it in store accidentally. My brain just went what the hell, I need that. And it's glorious.

Also went bowling, but I won't say whoops to that because it was hilarious and I love the people I went with like family. But, I definitely pulled a muscle in my ass and work the next day was painful. Today, too. Anyone who tells you bowling is not a workout clearly isn't as competitive as I am. But I won. So, worth it.

I need to step up my game school-wise, but plans. I'm working on it, I'm just really unmotivated when it comes to school. Really need to get over that.

I also got some work done on my giant freelance project, which is a lovely feeling. Truly. I'm less stressed about it as a result, and it's coming along nicely.

I've also started (slowly) taking crochet and knit orders again, but shhhhh, don't tell yet because I don't need to get anymore overwhelmed than I already am, and that's a hella fast track to get there.



This is a tiny, essentially pointless blog post, but I felt the need to write one.

I'm slowly turning into a health nut.

Surprisingly. I wasn't expecting this, I didn't ask for this.

I like it though. And today, I bought a Nutribullet. Do you know what that means?

That means this shit just got very real.
(and also that Macy's was having a baller sale and I feel like an adult when I buy appliances)

So, lets talk about my full time job.

No, I don't mean the one I get paid for. I reckon I'll be bitching about that soon enough.

I'm talking about the fact that I'm a major league procrastinator, 12 years running. I'm staring to hate it, though, and I'm trying to convert to being a perfectionist. Shit is hard. Kudos to all you perfectionists out there. I think I spend more time avoiding things (namely homework and like, dishes) than I do actually working on them, and that's kinda bullshit.

So, as a result of this, I had a small panicky mental breakdown the other day. And I bought a weekly planner. One of those ones that look like a calendar and have tear away weeks. That you actually have to write on. Because if its a situation where I can easily delete something, girl you know I'm gonna.

So far, it's going alright. I missed a bunch of the points yesterday, but hit them all on Monday. It's only Wednesday, and I'm not hella stressed about things thus far. I know it's early in the game but just having a plan written out is exceptionally helpful, at least so I know where I'm headed and what I still have to do.

So I guess organization isn't all bad, even if it started as a homework stalling tactic.

I am really bad at blogging.

Outside of tumblr anyway. But alas, here we are again.

This year is the year I've decided I'm going to try and better my life. 2012 wasn't bad - in fact, it's probably one of the better ones I've had in a while. But I find myself wanting to better myself, do greater things, become a more interesting, well rounded person. I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with me at this juncture, but I'm always into improving what I can, so I think that I will.

The goal for this blog is to document that, and at base just document my life. And also share recipes and pictures and shit, because that's a big part of my life these days.

So, let me get around to an introduction.


My name is Miranda Johnston. I'm 23, and I live in San Francisco. I work in a pretty well known coffee chain, at a fairly busy location about 10 minutes from my house. It's a job, and you'll probably get to read about my days there quite often.
I'm also a full time student majoring in Web Design / New Media. Probably graduating this fall. Possibly.

Short version, a la my Twitter, is I'm 23, I live in San Francisco, I make shit and I think I'm a lot cooler than I probably am. Which is all true.


See you around. :]
