Last night, I dreamed of Tommy. Talk about your old flames, huh? In the dream, I was out for a run in Cookeville during what seemed to be a carnival. My parents were there with me for some reason. Anyway, I was about to go for a run when I saw Tommy standing there. I said hi and gave him a big hug, but I was really ready to run so I asked him to ( Read more... )

I spent hours reading this morning. I bought this book, Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore. It's mysterious, modern, and full of references that I understand. It's not what I usually go for. I usually buy a classic, read half of it, and then feel bad about myself because I'm too bored to finish it. This book is intoxicating, though. I can't put it ( Read more... )

I cried like a fucking baby this morning. Damn you, Good Morning America, for having that doctor dude talk about how he saw his dead sister who he never knew when he almost died. That really started my day off on the right foot, which is wrong if you're a marching band kid.

Man. I hung out with a cool guy that I've known since high school or maybe middle school a few weeks ago. We had been texting back and forth and we finally hung out. Then nothing. I text him, no response. He never texted me back. Ever. I have been racking my brain trying to find what I did wrong, and all I can come up with is that I suck at hugging ( Read more... )

Today is my birthday. Every birthday for the last eight years has been the same. Sullen. Unwanted. The only thing I ever want on my birthday is to see Joey again. Well, last night I did. Joey visited my dreams. I guess he's been on my mind, which would explain my terrible mood yesterday at the beginning of community band rehearsal. I don't remember ( Read more... )

Sometimes we're worlds apart.
Sometimes we're the same person.
There's never a happy medium.

I think you're quite wonderful and I'm glad we met.

Let's talk about The Bachelor. Now, I'm not the kind of girl who usually watches that smut. And I'm going to try to justify it by saying that I went to high school with America's favorite on the show, Kacie B. No, we weren't friends in high school, but she always seemed nice. So I decided to watch it. That's my justification, and Odin's raven, I'm ( Read more... )

Okay. Let me just start by saying this: I know that Lent is about suffering in silence and thinking about Jesus. And to my credit, I don't really complain about what I gave up to my friends or family. That being said, I'M DYING HERE, PEOPLE. I gave up sweets, or as I like to call them, lunch. I do it every year, and it never gets easier. And every ( Read more... )

I think my favorite thing about rain is how everything looks blue when it rains really hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I took Art Appreciation in college, too. It's something about atmospheric perspective or something like that, right? How the moisture in the air causes far-off things to appear hazy or bluish. I still like it, even if it is just an ( Read more... )
