low-key regretting taking One Full Trilogy Pic, what do u mean i finished a book and i get no tumblr notes dopamine about it :(
omg i just realized that. given my stance on hardbacks and dust jackets. and my neuroses regarding Handling Paperbacks As Deforming Their Photogenic Topography. i am SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to take hardback pics after i've started reading the book.

things i am so far enjoying about being a homeowner:
- singing loudly in my Very Tiled 1954 bathroom (great acoustics);
- doing as i please to the wall, when i please (applying bright paint, mounting shit, banging in nails);
- all my things that spark joy EVERYWHERE;
- initiating wall patching endeavors at midnight >:D
#text#personal#adventures in the aerie#I also applied my New Corkboards today!!#and I am especially enjoying doing all of these things and NO ONE CAN TELL ME ITS WRONG!!!!!!!

#text#personal#writing#in btw#driscoll#indigo#lavender#listen YOU try to talk around shades of blue and purple when you sideline 'lavender' and 'indigo' by virtue of making them loadbearing--#--pillars of the fucking story!! it's hard!! what are we doing and why!!!!#in their defense: they did come before blue mattered#and I didn't realize I was going to put THAT much purple on page it just. happened#(the project has always been color coded purple but it wasn't plot relevant at first)
