So I bought the new Underworks Style 988 Extreme Chest Concealer/FTM Chest Binder.
Paid $5 extra than the one I would normally get because I'm comfortable with it.
And needless to say, I'm kind of disappointed.
Now the chest compression is awesome:
But the length of the compression goes past my breasts and into my ribcage, causing all my body fat below to be squeezed out.
In a way, it accentuates the few curves I have, and makes me notice that my minor weight fluctuation this semester and non-existence gym-attendance has taken its toll.
I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm just going to have layer tshirts still, when I was hoping I could finally wear my tighter tshirts without issue. Luckily, my v-necks still look good without layering, however the top portion of the binder seems to peep out if I bend too much.
I feel like because of my body type, how small my frame is, and though my BMI is healthy and I don't look like I have pudge, this compression is causing what little there is to be noticeable without layers.
Sigh.

My project this summer will to get a local creative writing zine up and running.
There isn't enough promotion and boost for student writing in this damn city.
Even the open mics and poetry nights are geared towards a "more established" crowd.
This won't be specifically poetry either. We want the fiction writers, the creative non-fictionies, shit, send in your journalism. Furthermore, though this will definitely be in black and white for costs, if there are graphic artists, illustrators, painters, photographers, etc. who want to be a part of it as well, we can find a page for you.
My goal is to have the first issue ready by the end of the summer.
Send me submissions and send this post to other interested people.
Let's do this ourselves, the right way.

Last night I had an epiphany in the form of revulsion.
I could have done things. In every other relationship I would have considered. I mean, I would have acted in most. It would have been easy.
But I was disgusted with the idea. Any time the friend came close by I'd haphazardly move away. She told me she was disappointed when we hugged goodbye and I told her I wasn't.
I was offered one of my favorite beers, and I politely declined.
I was offered one of my favorite cigarettes, and I politely declined.
I played Jenga and Candyland with people on shrooms, fixed and iPod, and went home early.
Thanks to you I'm slowly but surely becoming a better person.
Thank you.
My mom is about to pop out another baby. She's still distant.
I slept in my old bed. I'm covered in cat hair.
My brother is the same old asshole. Whining like a 5 year old.
My dad got me a new webcam and gave me $20. Asked me about my food situation. Gave me some advice. Funny how some things change.
I'm excited for the summer. I feel like it's going to compete with 2006. Who woulda thought?

Last night I saw Jaimie Slater.
That was cool.
Today my bike got run over by my sister in the car. I had it propped on the passenger side. I just ran upstairs to find my helmet and in the span of five minutes I went from stretching to get ready for a 20+ mile ride, to crying over the huge dent that's in the pristine aluminum, hand-welded frame like I just lost my only child.
Anyone want to donate to the help me get a new wheel, crankset and pedals fund?
This is going to run me at least $150. I need new grip tape too but I have some. I think the brakes are alright but I'm not positive.
I'm freaking out because I need it fixed by next month, otherwise I won't have transportation in Grand Rapids.
Think of it as a birthday present. Or you being a good person.
From this weekend on, don't ask me if I'm free to do anything. If it involves money, consider me null and void.
Time to eBay parts.

And whoever made this knew what they were doing.
It was a class project and should probably be submitted to the campaign.
