Three Hundred and Twenty Four

Violet.tomorrow.
Blue.thursday.
Red.friday.

ugh. but i think all of this stuff is getting to me. lots of to-do's.
but saul williams will find the. . . . . . .space between
and simmer closely
putting my mind to rest
on transcendent ideas
are all we have
to sleep on


fucking. genius.

Three Hundred and Twenty Three

Half of me, today, is this:

and this:


...


but then my other half feels like:

Let's get a few things straight:

• I have no interest in vampires.
• I have no interest in anything to do with New Jersey.
• Oh, and as far as Inception goes, I have thought of that before.

but also

• If your life was a book I'd read it over and over.
• Let's have a partay with Maria B on Friday!
• And I got all my hours back at work finally! Monay monay monay MONAYYY.

*back to reading*

Three Hundred and Eighteen

I think.
I.
Think it is time for a general list of Ordinary Ovations (2010 Edition)

• Finished Freshman year relatively successfully
• Got a part time job decorating delicious brownies
• Got my first teaching job
• Signed my first lease
• Started running weekly, and sometimes daily
• Managed to get past preconcieved ideas about what a cliche mom is
• Decided to join the Peace Corps after graduation
• Decided having a baby is actually... an option in the future
• Drove to St. Louis-- first road trip!
• And furthered or ended many friendships for the better

I believe this has been a good life-- a good year.

Now I'm off to start up my newest reading session. I will finish The Book Thief.
goodnight, love.

Three Hundred and Seventeen

Pfft.

I went off the deep end a long time ago.



i feel as though diving into the wreck is forcing me to
dive
into the wreck
but now
i feel like maybe i forgot my oxygen tank
it feels less like i'm diving
more like
i'm drowning

Three Hundred and Sixteen

Sometimes I just... can't sleep. My mind is absolutely filled with boundless possibilities and questions and with the wonderful and sometimes deflating invention of the internet; I can look up-- surf-- till my fingers are screaming with carpal tunnel. How did it get to be 12:41??

And other times my mind is just locked into one thing and I have to pick at every little detail, analyzing, until my brain is emotionally hemorrhaging and then... well...

and i
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
goodnight love.

Three Hundred and Fifteen

not a purse person, but sometimes you make exceptions...

Three Hundred and Fourteen

"Hark close and still what I now whisper to you,
I love you, O you entirely possess me,
O that you and I escape from the rest and go utterly off, free and lawless,
Two hawks in the air, two fishes swimming in the sea not more lawless than we"

I still think you're great, Walt-y poo.

Wading in deeper
Testing the waters flowing
Then I’m swept away

Three Hundred and Thirteen

CAN I JUST CRY AND GET OVER ALL THIS?!
apparently not.

Three Hundred and Ten

Oh you know, no sweat...


Alison,

We’d like to offer you a position as a Saturday School instructor. In August we will be having a mandatory, paid training/informational meeting for all instructors. I believe we will be able to offer several different options so that you can choose one that fits your schedule. In the meantime, as you think about your plans for class can you put together a supply list so that I can start pricing items. Letting me know supplies for a few months worth of classes would be much appreciated (that would be about six classes). Think about what we talked about in terms of how to structure the flow of classes. Let me know if you have any questions. We are excited to have you join us.

Three Hundred and Six

My thoughts separate,
Over the land, past the skies,
From my mind, to you

I am a mirage,
Dehydrated confusion,
And you think I’m real

Dear aged, future self,
Remember how I'm planning--
Now-- to be you then.
