#less365, days 32-34: one less pile of LiveJournal buttons, three less LJ spr0t buttons, and one less LJ !H button. Regifting 5 to Rich and the other 74 to Marta. (And keeping one for myself in case I decide to start pinning buttons somewhere.)

#less365, day 31: one less stuffed Tigger. I brought this home from my mom’s with the intention of regifting to Sage. But now that I’m holding him, I don’t want to give him up. TTFN T-I-double G-E-R, you’ll be in good hands.

chasethestars — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:18:39 -0800

#less365, day 30: one less pair of Luke Skywalker lightsaber chopsticks. These were a gift from my Secret Santa two Christmases ago. Regifting to Sage, who is probably a bigger Star Wars fan than I am and will thus enjoy these more than I do.

chasethestars — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:12:19 -0800

#less365, day 29: one less pair of black & pink wedge sandals with bows that were worn once a long time ago. These will be donated to Goodwill at the end of the month, unless someone wants to claim it before then (size 6.5).

#less365, day 28: one less set of Crayola colored pencils that were still in my art box. Regifting to Sage.

I signed up for The Sketchbook Project early this year, with the intent of finishing well before the deadline of January 31st. I received my book in July and procrastinated until December before even starting it, with a different concept than my original vision. I could have finished the remaining pages before mailing it back last week, but fell behind when other activities consumed my time. Still, I did make more progress than last year. Next year will be the year I fully finish a sketchbook.

A week and a half ago, I donated blood for the first time. It didn’t go so well… I was so tense, especially when the tube was over my arm and I could feel my warm blood rushing through it. Then it stopped. There was a clot in my vein and blood wasn’t coming out of it anymore. The technician kept jabbing the needle around, trying to get more, but all it resulted in is a fat bruise that still hasn’t healed yet. All I donated was half a pint of blood. I want to help save a life, but I’m not sure I could do this again.

#less365, days 26+27: two less rings from my teenage years. Regifting to Sage.

chasethestars — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:19:12 -0800

#less365, days 22-25: four less headbands. The two with the polka dots were also part of my birthday gifts from Janine last year. The other two are from Halloween 2008, when I was a modern-day Alice. Regifting to Sage.

chasethestars — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:39:00 -0800

#less365, day 21: one less goldfish and hearts bracelet, a gift from my aunt when I was 13. Regifting to Sage.

chasethestars — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:14:24 -0800

#less365, day 20: one less syringe pen. I think I picked this up at Macworld in 2001 or 2002. There’s plenty of ink, but the “blood” has been dried for years. Time to finally toss this out as well.

chasethestars — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:10:00 -0800

#less365, day 19: one less set of Mario Badescu skincare samples. I’ve had them for more than 2 years. Definitely pass time to throw these out.

chasethestars — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:12:00 -0800

#less365, day 18: one less eyeliner pencil/smudger combo. I think the last time I used this was Halloween 2009, to draw a tattoo on my arm as part of my costume. Long past time to toss it out.

chasethestars — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:09:23 -0800

#less365, day 17: one less set of LJ MOO MiniCards. These were a free test batch I received for their launch party in May 2007, when Six Apart did a partnership with MOO. But like business cards, I’ve rarely handed out any and I don’t really use LiveJournal anymore… so these are going in the trash.

chasethestars — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:07:00 -0800

#less365, days 15+16: two less pieces of safety-pin stars and lightning bolt jewelry. These were part of my birthday gifts from Janine last year and have been sitting unworn in a bag since (sorry!). ~~Arie, any chance Sage would like these? If not, would Goodwill take them?~~ Regifting to Sage.

chasethestars — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:12:00 -0800

On my birthday last year, I started taking one photo every day. Ok, so I missed some days and made up for it with multiple photos on other days, but still. Yesterday was the 365th, the end of a year of photos.

Quick bday sketch. Celebrated with friends on MLK Monday with sushi, a birthday shooter (in lieu of bottomless mimosas), and chocolate mousse cake; mani/pedi; and more drinks later. Then today with work at lunch; and with Rich tonight, continuing our prefixe birthday dinner tradition.

chasethestars — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:30:55 -0800

#less365, days 13+14: two less tank tops. These will be donated to Goodwill at the end of the month, unless someone wants to claim one or both before then (size M).

chasethestars — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:29:00 -0800

#less365, days 8-12: one less dog-eared-by-post-its Francesca Lia Block collection: Dangerous Angels (The Weetzie Bat Books), I Was a Teenage Fairy, Violet & Claire, Necklace of Kisses, and How to (Un)cage a Girl.

Of the things I’ve committed to giving away so far, this is the first that has sentimental value. But I’m not Claire anymore and I was never a Witch Baby or Weetzie Bat; it’s time to grow up.

These will be donated to the San Francisco Public Library at the end of the month, unless someone wants to claim any or all of the books before then.

#less365, day 7: one less pair of brown flip flops. These will be donated to Goodwill at the end of the month, unless someone wants to claim it before then (size 7).
