It's funnier if you know that my sisters are...
Patra: This is the first time we've ever all been dating people at the same time. We should go out for [she pauses as she's putting something in the microwave...] a dinner or something.
Me: I thought you were gonna say we should go out for drinks, and I was thinking, "Uh, since when is that something we do?"
Leah: I thought you were going to say we should go on a triple date!
Patra: [incoherent yelling and laughing]
Me: Can we just pause to appreciate how exactly that would go down?
Patra: Josh and Bridget would be going at it the whole time.
Me: They totally would!
Patra: I don't even know why I think that.....
Me: No, it's totally right. I don't know why either.
Leah: And Patra and I would just be whispering amongst ourselves...
Me: Except you two don't know how to whisper...
Patra: And Andy would be hiding in the corner, hanging his head all awkwardly shy.
Me: I was going to agree with that, and then I realized I don't know this kid. He just LOOKS shy, okay? Maybe it's the glasses.
Patra: What would you be doing?
Me: Observing and laughing at all of you, obviously.
Patra: And blogging about it.
Me: Also possible.
[lots of laughing]
Me: Also, does anyone else picture this taking place at the Denny's? Because that's the only way I can see this going down....

“Why do you think that’s okay? Why do you think you can write something...”
– Leah, practicing accompaniment music on the piano, which, I should add, is written by some dead guy.

alekssajak:
It’s taking up a lot of space in my room and in my mind. I’m going to have to go through it tomorrow again and throw some things aside. I keep telling myself that I’m just really bad at packing, but the truth is my mind won’t accept the fact that I’m coming back after 3 weeks. It wants to pack everything because I want to stay.

Christmas Cards
I’m making them tonight and tomorrow morning. If you want one, no matter where you are, I’ll send one. I’m not that crafty, so we’ll see what I come up with to make these, but they’ll be cute and personal and hopefully make you smile!

Concerts
While the music is going, I’m complete, I’m whole, I’m real, and I’m alive.
When it stops, I’m just shitty old me again. Get me the fuck out or push me off a cliff—whichever is the faster escape.

THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE EVER
HAPPENING RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
Favor from my cousin’s wedding last night
I’ve never made hot chocolate with milk before! It was a success!
I stuck a candy cane in it, and now it’s a hint minty, too! I took a second candy cane and crushed it to add on top with the marshmallows, chocolate, and white chocolate chips from the original package =)

Normalcy
I just want switches clearly labeled “ON” and “OFF” because however this works isn’t working for me.
I love variety, but it would be really convenient if there was a switch I could throw to shut things off. I could shut off emotions when I need to move on. I could shut off silliness when I need to work. I could shut off pain when I need to be standing for a million...
copper-girl asked: Next time you come here, we are going to make an awesome fort in my room. It has been decided. With a million blankets! And pillows! And my couch cushions! And maybe the mattress from my bed! And we will watch more list movies! And cuddle! And have popcorn and candy and hot chocolate! Okay????

An unedited story of two girls, part 3 →
copper-girl:
The train ride is quick, routine as it’s ever been, but the closer to the station, the rougher the tracks feel. Or maybe I was quaking and it wasn’t cars and rails and timbers shaking. I call her right before reception-breaking tunnels, all stutters, all flutters. I’m almost there. She’s almost there.
We’re almost there. The wind and my hair and a new love of Chicago whip through...
BRIDGET'S HERE
THIS IS ME BRAGGING
While the Red Sox got Carl Crawford
reflux:
The White Sox retained Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski, and signed Adam Dunn. Plus, keeping Juan Pierre, Omar Vizquel, Carlos Quentin and Mark Buehrle gives them a great shot at the postseason in 2011. As long as Peavy can stay healthy, the pitching rotation is deep with Buehrle, Peavy, Danks, Floyd, and Santos. Losing Bobby Jenks won’t hurt the lineup too much.
Spring can’t come soon...

I just knocked a glass into the sink, where it shattered.
Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn’t be doing what it is that I was doing.

I’ve been falling for days. I could feel it the whole time. I tried to claw my way up, but that doesn’t always work.
I haven’t hit rock bottom; I don’t think I’m going to. Whoever’s got me on a string I’m sure is asking me to thank them. After all, they’re holding me up from rock bottom right? I’m not thanking you, you son of a bitch. You have...
