home

This morning i woke up thinking i would be very happy in the moment when I wake up to five puppies kisisng my face. as good as this sounds (and kind of slimy and gross) i then decided i wanted to be happy about something that i already have, something that already is making me happy. So I'll put three down now, just to make sure i don't lose myself in wishful thinking.
1. eating breakfast in the kitchen when its just me and my brother
2. the four repetitive songs my little brother plays on the ukelele
2. seeing late night movies with my best friend

yay. happy thanksgiving.

I have a confused 20 minutes where I just got back from work and dinner hasn't started but I don't feel like starting on homework then having to put it all away when dinner does start. So I'm just waiting in the formal room with other pretend-like-their-being productive people but really everyone is just really hungry and the brownies or whatever's baking downstairs isn't helping a whole lot. I'm thinking about our new pet sand dollar and how I'm going to listen to mariah carey christmas songs with him when i get home. while also doing piles of Spanish homework and maybe practicing my Spanish out loud to him. I also want to paint my nails. they've been breathin easy for a while, so time to coat em up again. a nice fall hue like marrow or bittersweet , just one of the other ways fall tries to make you feel better as it steals your summer away.

take you out to lunch, five star dine-r

First date? Wear Red
New York Times has interesting dating advice. Red usually makes me feel like Christmas or Valentines day. Or a fire truck. I would never pick red to wear on a first date.  I did some homework (not the productive kind) and here is one sassy little number that just might change my mind.

And thought i'd join the cause for finding cocktail dresses for a certain semi-formal hopping soror :)

i think tHIS purple one is destined for a tousled blonde.

Ok..can't overlook these either...

kind of enjoying the exaggerated shoulder?

This one is weird, very princess-bride. But it made me do a double-take, which makes it deserving of a little extra blog love. Oh and look- its "EXCLUSIVE". Does that make it cool?

I'm gonna get more shine in a little bit

Things I like: Willow, high boots, and being adored by new zealand soccer players at bars.

I'm not ready for it to be monday. But once i'm done writing this, I'm going to make myself ready. as much as i want to burrow into my down comforter and let every muscle in my body relax, i'm going to study until i feel like i've learned something.  One because I want to own this test on friday, two because i want to go to the mixer thursday night. Irresponsible? probably. Worth it? can't help but think so.

I have been saving smiles for you

This is so you can remember that there are cute, cute boys out there, they exist, they're waiting for your wonderful self, and not one of the others is worth lowering your standards for.

not one.

I heard he wrote you a song, but so what- some guy wrote sixty nine, and one just ain't enough

HAPPYYYYYYYY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYY

you don't get to text. you dont get to call six times a day. you dont get to leave long voicemails.

when i found you, i thought i found the guy i was going to spend the rest of my life with. i was done.
i said, that's it. all the boys in the world could walk by and i wouldn't look twice because i had you, i was happy. all the flirting in the library, and giving my number out at mixers, and meeting cute guys in class. done.
because i thought you were it.
you lost me. you chose you.
left me. worse, you made me leave myself.
well im me again now. youre a big black cloud in my past and im all rained out. 
you don't get to call.
