‘Maybe it ain’t a sin. Maybe it’s just the way folks is. Maybe we been whippin’ the hell out of ourselves for nothin’… The hell with it! There ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue. There’s just stuff people do. It’s all part of the same thing. And some of the things folks do is nice, and some ain’t nice, but that’s as far as any man got a right to say.’

P.S.-Alba, you douche.
There’s no doubt that we got some good story-telling-material tonight.
Potentially the best part of my day was the beginning, when I read Rennie’s blog post. I guess it was because it just sounded like the most beautiful place on earth and she seems so happy. And she deserves to be happy and in the most beautiful place.
And, in pre-cal this morning, I heard all about how someone’s lost five pounds in four days… Now, let me interject here by saying that I don’t have a poor body image by any means. Although, some might argue that I should as I could stand to lose a few pounds… Anyway, I only got five minutes into my fast before my boyfriend handed me a Starburst, which I routinely ate. And at lunch I had just one bite of the breaded chicken from someone else’s sandwich (yes, as it was on its way to the trash bin… I’m just that classy). But, I didn’t cave completely until newspaper when I had this cookie-oreo-brownie extravaganza thing. Worth it… And, when I got home, I did weigh myself (for the first time in ever) only to find that I was like 10 pounds lighter than I had suspected. And thus, I earned a Taco Bell feast and a box of Junior Mints. :)
So, I learned a valuable lesson today… but I can’t really remember what it is now.
Anyway, the whole pack was just on their game with the compliments at lunch today. And they are the most brutally-honest group of guys I know, so that only made it sweeter… And then I spent the evening with Garrett, which felt just like old times. We talked about boys/girls and I laughed obnoxiously through the movie. And yeah, I guess I really needed a light-hearted evening like this.
Garrett: We should get subs.
Me: Oooh, yeah! I’ll need to stop and get some money first, but then…!
Garrett: Oh… I meant…
Me: Ah man! You meant subwoofers! I guess I’m just hungry.

I remember when Laura used to throw up gangs signs at school and in the car all the time. I’m pretty sure she could do this with her hands too.
Oh, you know it!! Except, I still do this… far too frequently. :)

Today won’t be easily forgotten. Just that one moment, really. I just didn’t see it coming.
And, I know the other was just a passing remark, but that’ll linger too. Maybe thats just because you can see me so clearly. And, god, was it honest.
Also, my foot is completely buggered up. I’ve been limping like an absolute whasname lately. Not a complaint, mind. I am never injured (I don’t do anything), so it is rather fascinating.
And so I whispered into your ear, And so I whispered into your ear,
‘What are you thinking about?’
You just looked up at the stars.
‘Who are you thinking about?’
It couldn’t be me.
The only person you should depend upon for happiness is yourself.
And by wishing away another person’s happiness, you are doing yourself a great disfavor. You are wasting your energy. Let others be happy, and most importantly—let yourself be happy.

As always, this girl knows what’s up. <3
Sometimes when he texts me, I have to bury my face in my blankets to stifle the little eeeeee! of excitement. Even if I am not already there, I have to sometimes run across the house to jump into my bed, and bury my face beneath the sheets, as if to contain some of that girly whasname. And sometimes, in the thick of all of this, I completely forget that I am supposed to text back. :)
But, god almighty, I am lucky. Last night could’ve been rough on the whole I-suck-at-coping-with-death front, but my knight in shining armor really came through for me. And the night was really terrific. I love our little group and how I felt comfortable enough to sing cringe-worthy-ly loud all night. And how there was that one slow song where I had to confess that I wasn’t listening to the song at all, so I had no idea how terribly out-of-time my slight swaying was. And how we did the robot during some of the other slow songs. And how we all sang the Sound of Music songs before. And how we all huddled in the slight cold on his back porch afterwards. So yeah, safe to say I really enjoyed the evening.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

“Ok, still. Two dinners?” … “Nooo. One dinner, multiple dishes!”
Planning Sadie has been kind of doing my head in, so it better be a proper brilliant night. :) But, quite certain it will be, considering the brilliant company I’ll have.

Fernando: I need to study for physics. God, please let me do well on this test... Okay, done.
Me: Life would be so much easier if I was religious.
Seriously, everyone should watch this. :)
