Back to December/If You're Out There
There’s a person in my life, only that person is not so much in my life anymore, because I have pushed that person away very hard and very fervently. I tend to blame this person for a lot of what was wrong with me a couple years ago, but really I should be blaming myself. This person had the misfortune of being in my life when I was at a really unstable place, and I was trying really hard to...

Too Long for Twitter 8
The other day, I was driving down the road to my house, and there was a kid on a four-wheeler up on the side of the hill next to me, and he had stopped and was sitting on his four wheeler, texting. And, I just thought to myself, “Only in Jasper.” But what I really mean, is only in any small rural town where four-wheeling and texting enthusiasm are dually rampant in teenagers.

I'm tempted...
To make a folder that says “is fucking pointless,” to save all my assignments in, so that when I upload a project for my pointless, but required computer class it will show up as Documents/School/SCT/is_fucking_pointless/Assignment.docx
Unfortunately, I am a super nice, super polite, respectful student, so I won’t be doing that.

Dilemma
I have a platonic friend. And I would like to reiterate the fact that our friendship is PLATONIC because that is the key to my dilemma. A couple years ago, on Valentine’s Day, I put a palm tree in his apartment with some candy and a note while he was away, because he was all bummed about V-day, and I wanted to do something that was encouraging and funny. (I was going to give him a cactus,...

Drag Me Through
I am excellent at dealing with huge tragedies. I rarely experience my own emotion in the moment, and am usually only swayed when other people are hurting, which hurts me. But, I will pick up the pieces. And I will patiently glue them together the best that I can. I will push through pain and sadness and loss, and give hugs and make cookies and make lists, and be the pillar of strength that I am...

Homework
I just realized that I am more surprised when I get a question right on the first try than I am when I get one wrong. In any subject. I have been damaged by math homework.

Excerpt
From a conversation I was having with a good friend. Just a little snippet about how I am feeling more empowered about life:
I find more an more as I “grow up” that I hate feeling stuck, but that I don’t have to accept it. It’s actually been rather revelatory to me to realize that if I don’t like my job, I have the power to quit, If I don’t like my major, I...

THIS HOMEWORK IS SUPER AWESOME!
THIS SALES PLAN IS SO MUCH FUN!
(But really, it kind of is.)

I Just Laughed SO HARD...
I was watching last night’s episode of Community, and Jeff is talking to Shirley’s Husband who is played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who was Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, and who is wearing a vivid stripey sweater. Jeff says, “Nice Sweater,” and Shirley’s Husband says, “Thanks, my dad gave it to me.”
So. Funny. Seriously. This show is the bomb dot com.

I Am Already On Sleep Inducing Medication
But I decided to tumble anyway. It might not be coherent. At least I keep remembering to hit shift + enter, so it doesn’t leave a big awkward gap between the lines that looks weird. I wish my regular keyboard autocorrected like my iphone. Maybe I should be doing this on my iphone. Whatevs. I lost my flip camera in my bed two weeks ago, and I still can’t find it. It is not in my bed,...

This Song Is on Repeat Right Now
Halfway Sandra McCracken
I thought it was full But it was halfway to the top Love is an ocean tryin’ to fill this tiny cup Under bright sun and stars We crash into the sand All that I knew, I am having to learn again And it’s taken me over Taken me over And the heart I thought was full was halfway The postman’s comin’ Got your face pressed to the glass Paper and boxes...

Bummed
I just got back from the Tater Patch Players annual meeting, where I was running for board, and I am really bummed, because I didn’t get elected. There are two things compounding my frustration: 1. I do far more work and am far more active in the organization than at least a couple people who got elected to the board, and 2. Members of the executive board approached me this summer and asked...

Genesis 32:22-32
“Jacob Wrestles with God
The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched...

Yes,
I did just spend 45 minutes gathering up 20 or so awesome 90’s rap videos for the forthcoming tumblr series, “Awesome 90’s Rap Video of the Day.” (Also featuring a little Awesome 90’s R&B) Because I love 90’s Rap. So, get excited about it.

I follow Fuck Yeah Callie & Arizona, but I hadn’t seen this week’s episode of Grey’s yet, so I accidentally found out Callie was pregnant before I watched it, so now that I am watching it, the fact that I know what’s going on is totally ruining the surprise.
