December 2009
I want 2010 to be full of friendship, happiness, peace, laughter, good books, and good food. That is all I need.

This brain of mine.
I had a dream there was a product called pregnant mascara. It was in some goodie bag at some random person’s wedding and I put some on. I wonder if it
1) makes you pregnant?
2) increases your chances of getting pregnant?
3) just makes your eyelashes look plump and thus, pregnant.

I wish Dave didn’t suck balls at running FUSE. I miss how FUSE was last year, and I really want to be in charge of organizing the weekly meetings. I’m not saying I’d be AMAZING at it, but I know I’d do a better job than Dave’s been doing. If Dave would only answer my emails/texts/asdgjsakldgj. Wtf is his problem?
end rant.
I love this quote so much.
Why the windows are barred:
“It isn’t running away they’re afraid of. We wouldn’t get far. It’s those other escapes, the ones you can open up in yourself, given a cutting edge.” -The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood

I LOVE FOOD. & Happy...
Yeah.
I either need new friends, or new hobbies. I’m leaning towards new hobbies because a yoga mat (probably) won’t randomly decide to ignore me and stop being my friend. In a relationship that consists of a human vs inanimate object, the human is preternaturally in control. Thus: I can choose to ignore my yoga mat. It can’t choose to ignore me.
Conundrum = solved.

Movie night featuring snacks when we all get back? I vote yes.
Two things.
1) I’m reading Diablo Cody’s memoir about being a stripper, and her writing style is irking me. I might have to put this one down. Every sentence is FILLED with all those cutesy, ‘hip’ jokes that made Juno suck a little bit. Honest to blog? Your eggo is preggo? Yeah, that stuff makes me gag.
2) Maggie Gyllenhaal should’ve been nominated for a Globe for Away We Go....
Your Old Body is Dead.
Walking home today/tonight (was day, I guess, but felt and looked like the dead of night), a whole stream of lit-up taxis surged down Chestnut Street, and I felt like they were calling to me. For some reason, my right arm was aching to lift itself, flag one of them down, and passively climb inside, allowing myself to go…. just about anywhere else would do just fine.
Instead, I came home,...

You know how sometimes, when you’re walking, you see a person about 100 or 200 feet in front of you, and you can’t tell which direction they’re walking in?
They could be walking toward you, or they might be walking in the opposite direction. The movements of their feet give no indication of the direction in which they walk.
I am that person.
For every step forward, I take 3...

Cheating.
I remember cheating on my 8th grade math final. There were a bunch of us cheating together, like a circle of exchanging answers, and honestly, the proctors must’ve been pretty dense to not expect cheating. The exam was in the school library, and everyone was clustered together at a bunch of small tables. We all had identical exams, plenty of number two pencils, plus scrap paper, and we were...

“What happened to your lipstick?” She asked.
I couldn’t answer that question honestly without disappointing both of us. And so, I lied to her, not for the first time, and definitely not for the last.
“I downed my beer and totally got a mustache. I wiped my face off in the bathroom and all the lipstick just came off.”
The way she looked at me ignited my heart with a...
