Bruce Springsteen is American’s darling and I still don’t get it.
SCORE! Classes canceled
I’ll be making macaroni and cheese to celebrate.
I'm thinking I might just skip class tomorrow if...
Living in a neighborhood that isn’t on the snow-plow path and driving on an interstate that’s coated with snow is not ok.

Tom: You knew about the beatles class right?
Me: Yeah.
Tom: I thought so.
Me: Always filled up in minutes.
Tom: I saw the book at the bookstore and stared at it and thought of you haha. That sounds really creepy, but it wasn't.
Me: hahaha, that sounds so creepy. I love it
Tom: It does, haha. I'm picturing myself doing it in a really creepy way now
“If you don’t feel a connection with me, who do you think you are? God?”
– Some girl off The Bachelor who really made me laugh. (But, uh, don’t ask me how I’ve seen that show.)
Japan! (The room goes silent)
My cousin Nathan is on his way to Japan to ask his girlfriend’s father for her hand in marriage.
The wedding is supposed to be in Kyoto, but we’re not sure exactly when.
“I guess we should start saving money for a wedding,” my mom said with a smile.
I suppose this means I might be going to Japan sometime in the future.
It’s funny. Japan seems to be the place where...

Craig: So I might have to stay at your place tonight.
Me: Yeah, that's cool.
Craig: It'll be fun, we can have a sleepover and do each other's makeup.
Me: Oh, totally, and I can curl your hair!
Craig: Yeah!
Me: And, oh! I can paint your toenails pink.
Craig: ...Ok....well you have to be careful what shade of pink because I have a very particular skin tone.
I do not want to work tonight.
First days blow. First day back at the job you used to work at three years ago is even worse. I’m antsy which is making me gassy.
I think I need some hardcore meditation right now.

Well, shit, I guess I’m going to have to root for Milk because I dislike Wall-E and I don’t know/have little interest in the others. Lame. Maybe I should become more interested in the others, but I might be too lazy for that.

I'm in the middle of wiping my tears with a tissue...
I get a text message from Craig. “I’m driving back to missouri saturday. What is your schedule like?” And the bawling immediately commences, but from happiness this time.

(I think I need the opinion of someone who really knows)
Shopping with my ex-boyfriend Pat to help him find a belated Christmas present for his new girlfriend, Susan—not so great, but could be worse.
Meeting Susan by surprise when I wasn’t totally prepared to do so—not on the top of my priority list.
Susan saying to me, “Wow, you must be really smart”—Quality!
I think I may have had a flashback (I didn’t even know that was possible), but I’m on my way back now. I knew I should have eaten something today! I could have totally avoided this.
I’m feeling really uneasy today, but I can’t tell why that is. It’s not really a bad unease, but it’s not really a good one, either. I should be meditating, but I need to shower.

I went to the dentist today and I left after my...
That’s the first time that’s happened in a good ten years.
I had a dream last night with both Gael Garcia Bernal and my ex-boyfriend Pat in it, but in the dream they were both exes of mine. Apparently in my dream life I dated Gael before Pat. Why I would ever make that transition is beyond me.
I miss Craig.
I talked to him on the phone today and he was making tacos, which almost turned out to be a tragedy because he misplaced the taco seasoning. But in a twist of good fortune he found a cabinet full of spices.
Imodium and I have a personal relationship
Me: Guess what I just purchased that made me think of you.
Grace: Imodium?
Me: What? No. Imodium? Why would that make me think of you?
Grace: I don't know, it always makes me think of you.
I always feel destructive after I get a haircut.
Because I always hate it. I get attatched to that extra inch and a half and I want to cry after they’re taken away. (All of a sudden my hair doesn’t get pulled when I put a bra on or I can’t wrap it once around my arm.) I had to go to the store after getting my hair cut, but instead I ran home to take a shower. The guy had dried my hair and ran a large circular brush through my...
Tie-dying outside while the temperature is below...
If good is the new word for bad. The shirts froze, for one, and Ari and I lost all feeling in our hands. We went inside about every seven minutes to recover before we journeyed back out into the cold to curse our stupid selves.
There’s a guy in the basement hammering things and talking to himself. Or maybe he has a buddy? My dog is afraid of him. No, wait, there’s deffinitely two men in the basement. “It is what it is, unfortunately,” one man said. A white SUV keeps appearing, disappearing and reappearing in the driveway. Are there more than two guys? Is there an army of men making noise in the...
I met a 9 year old golden retriever yesterday. His...
Like in Homeward Bound! He had some grey around his eyes. He was perfect. One of these days I’ll adopt one of my own and take him (I’ve decided it has to be male) hiking with me every day. It’ll be a fun time picking up his poop.
Yes, yum.
