I am going to make a post about books because sometimes I like to talk about books a lot but other people haven't just read the chapter that I read and so it is not as exciting to them. Probably it is not any more interesting to people if I write about it on here, so feel free to ignore this.

I am kind of surprised at how much I miss Brent. It's not even the usual faintly selfish kind of missing that comes from "I don't have as many people to talk to without you" (I have had no shortage of awesome people here), or from "I feel rejected by you and this makes me more sad than your absence does in itself" (I would have to do something ( Read more... )

I've been back in Arizona for two weeks now. This means that I should do some quotes.

Kristen:  "Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing in life, and when people text me it doesn't help!"

Rachel:  "You can pick me up and carry me around! I'm not a threat!"
Clara:  "You do hit him, though."
Rachel:  "True..."

Home is nice. I love my friends. I love my Alex. I love Ann Arbor. I almost don't realize how much I love and miss them all until I get to be with them again. Let's do some quotes. Many of these are, of course, paraphrased ( Read more... )

I saw Vienna Teng tonight. She was amazing and fun. Her opening act was Ben Sollee, who played the cello like he was in love with it but wasn't quite sure if it was a banjo, some Asian stringed instrument, or a jazz percussion instrument. He was pretty awesome.
