"What am I going to do about the ladies, Laura?...
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...

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...

“And so I whispered into your ear,
‘What are you thinking about?’...”
imstrumming:
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...

How studying goes down at Sweet's:
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. :)
One of my favourite CFTPA songs has long rests in it. And I love the rests because I get so excited for it to start up again. And though I’ve listened to the song at least 34 times by iTunes count, I still can’t seem to predict the entrance. It is as if he intentionally made it just long enough that I’d doubt that it’d ever return. But it does, and it is always perfect.
I...
Isn’t it funny that you’re just about the only person I could talk to about this? It has consumed my thoughts for the past 23 and a half hours and I’m no closer to having it sorted. But, I’ve kind of got to sort this on my own. It could well do my head in.
No, you know what will do my head in — all these conversations with my parents about any future events....

Funny this should appear on my timeline after all of late last night’s thoughts. Maybe if I was the sort to believe in “signs” I’d mistake this as one. But that’d get me in a fair bit of trouble, potentially, wouldn’t it? Or, maybe...
Of course it crosses my mind from time to time. But not as much as I think everyone else might think it should. And certainly not for any longer than a fleeting half-second of self-doubt. Because sure, I could let it consume me, but that wouldn’t get me anywhere, would it? Things are what they are. And I like what they are. I am completely overcome with adoration for what they are. And I am...

operation alsatian complete.
Armed with my two accomplices and a police officer, and after a good week of near-anxiety-attack-level-nerves, Operation Alsatian went as well as to be expected. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if it might’ve been slightly at the expense of his nerves. :)
And now Sadie preparations are in full swing. This dance holds a humungous level of sentimental value for me, which has rendered me...

I guess today would’ve been alright if I hadn’t missed you so much.

Perfect. And appropriate, because Ballsy Laura has been living up to her name this morning. :)
"If you could go anywhere in the world on a trip-"
Me: "-wouldn't you want to plan the trip around some sort of grand event?"
Laura: "What, like a modest mouse concert?"
"citadel - a fortress."
Sitting up with very nice posture in my bed in the center of my floor. The walls are freshly painted yellow and the floor is an eighth tiled. The emptier my room becomes, the more it feels like my own little sanctuary. Nothing can harm me here except the word on the tweets, etc. And, my obscene headache.
Today I got to see a cornucopia of fantastic people, sans* (oh, baby*, don’t be upset!)...
"appease - to pacify."
And just like that, you make everything okay.
It is that moment, that feeling. And I can’t call it anything, because in doing so would only lessen it’s value. Instead, I’ll safeguard it against all outside and unintentional oppositional forces, all the while reminding myself that I am completely underserving.
"abstruse - hard to understand."
I just don’t know sometimes.
Starting off the new year with The Little Mermaid.
Me: She got a pair of legs but no pants!
Katie: What did you think would happen? She'd just swim off in a pair of cargo shorts!? Seaweed skirt?

"elation - high spirits."
New Year’s Eve is definitely my favorite holiday of the year! Maybe it is the “out with the old, in with the new” atmosphere. Or, maybe it is the “chance to start afresh” … but let’s get real. I’m sentimental as you-know-what and I don’t want any sort of fresh start. I love this holiday because it is an excuse to have a fantastic night with...

i like the way we’re okay, and I think we always will be.
Tracy Barlow, man.
Diedre Barlow: But she's not a bad girl.
Me: WHAT?!?!?!?
Ken Barlow: WHAT?!?!?!?
“Mister postman, look and see if there’s a letter in your bag for me....”
– The Marvelettes. Classic.
Dad: Do you guys want to hear a riddle?
Me and Taylor: No... alright, go on then.
Dad: The most hated, the most loved...
Taylor: is that it?
Dad: No. The most hated, the most loved...
Taylor: You can't just say 'do you want to hear a riddle?' and then make it up on the spot.
Dad: ... The most hated, the most loved... I forgot the rest... but the answer is 'Dad.'

"ferment - a state of unrest."
Oh no. The later part of this week has given me ample time to confront thoughts I’ve been avoiding. Also, a new fly entered the ointment.
I just really fancy a little chat, a chance to confide in someone.
Oh, what a strange holiday.
"askance - with a sideways look; suspiciously."
Potentially my favorite SAT word. :)
Laying in bed, listening to the heavy rain and thunder. Going to wake up in a few hours and drive half way to Canada. And the next day, we’ll drive some more and get to my brother’s place. And I’ve been anticipating this for a while, and I’m awfully excited, but for now I just want to listen to the rain and not think, just smile.
"beatitude - perfect happiness."
What a word. What a feeling. :)
Everything’s going well. And it is absolute ludicrous, wild, and exhilarating.
