Home Sweet Home

Just got into Austin. I haven't written anything over Thanksgiving break probably because I've been sitting on my ass watching Weeds on Netflix. I'm addicted. Something crazy always happens every episode. And even though I reeeeaaaally want to watch another episode, I need to write a paper for class. This will probably take me all morning but I'm such a pro at procrastinating. I got this. I think I'm even more fueled up to write or do something now since my dad and I got into an argument (what's new). I will kick this paper's ass. Goodnight world

All I Can Say Is...

Wow. I am one lucky girl. I don't want to say anything because I'm afraid I'll jinx a good thing but really... I got lucky.

Smiling From Ear to Beyond

What a great feeling to make someone happy and have them make you happy in return. Now that the nerves and butterflies are gone, I think my waiting might finally be over... Let's hope so. I caught a good one :)

To E

Before I go to bed tonight, I just want to write a little message to someone very special to me.

I love you.
You are beautiful.
Men are pigs.
You are beautiful.
Always take it one second after another because once you know it, a minute has passed.
Don't strive for right or wrong,
All your wrongs will turn into a right.
I love you.
Don't let hurt consume you.
There's a phone next to you with my number in it.
God you're beautiful.
You're light shines through that beautiful smile.
Don't put yourself down.
Because I love you.
God loves you.
The Universe loves you.

If you weren't here in my life, I would have a gaping hole. When you wake up and before you go to bed, think of all the love you have going your way. You truly are a special and wonderful human being. I love you E.

Another Happy Birthday

As my friend pointed out to me today, on this day in 1985 the first Calvin and Hobbes comic strip was published. I remember the first time seeing these strips of comedic genius. I was in Paris with my mom visiting her brother and I was deathly bored. As a small kid, small talk in french and sitting in a house for hours is not really what you want to be doing with your time. I guess my uncle saw the strain in my face and he gave me these books filled with cartoon illustrations of a small boy and his stuffed animal tiger that would somehow come to life. I'm pretty sure I almost finished the entire book before it was time to go. My uncle let me keep that book along with another one he had and I fell in love with the comic strip from that moment on.

As I got older, the books took on a new meaning. Mainly because I was a lot older and could understand the humor of each story. But as a small child or a young adult, these books still give me that warm, fuzzy feeling. Happy Birthday Calvin and Hobbes! And thank you Bill Watterson for letting us into your imaginative world :) Although I have to say, I was always bummed out when my stuffed animals never talked back to me...

Dear Lord

Dear Lord,
This is all I ask in a man:
Available (aka he's not dating anyone)
Lives in the same city as me (for once)

It wouldn't hurt if he could dance salsa...

So why is it the ones I find are either dating someone or they don't live in the same city as me... usually overseas... Is it me? Do I find men that are unavailable because I know nothing will happen? Am I pushing away men? Geez what's wrong with meeeeeeeee?? I'm 23. I've only had one boyfriend and that was in high school. He left me to chase his dreams as a priest... I'm not going to worry about it but it just makes me think... Maybe I really do push men away. I need therapy. Goodnight.
