Just listen :)
...and the hardest part is letting go of the...
I am… a mess.
I just spent three hours at Casa with some of my favorite people in the world, and it was fabulous. We barely stopped talking for more than two seconds (at the most) and the love in the room was palpable. Even so, I left feeling more alone than I have in a long, long time. Alone and sad. I don’t know why, other than knowing that many of us probably won’t be...
Day 18
Plans/dreams/goals you have
Oh what the hell… may as well. I need to catch up. But warning, this’ll be a long one :)
Okay, so lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my future… the places I want to go, the things I want to accomplish, the people I want to meet (not as in famous people, but more like “the kind of people I want to know”/”who I want to...
so dim that spotlight, tell me things like
“i can’t take my eyes off of you”
I really wish I had something to say tonight, but all I can think of are song lyrics and the fact that my stomach feels hollow right now. I guess that means I should eat? Maybe I’ll be struck with inspiration later. Or maybe I’ll fall asleep… that’s what winter break is for, anyway.
Oh. Go listen to Ingrid Michaelson....

I fail at tumbling.
Also, I am officially home for winter break… and in my first semester of college I managed to get an A-, a B, a C-, and a D. How alphabetical of me. Basically, my parents (mostly Dad) are going to kill me.

on i go, to wonder and to learning...
Soooo, I love Spring Awakening. Which is why I quoted “All That’s Known” for the title. But that is not why I am writing today. I am writing because you should all be way jealous of me right now.
There’s a fabulous new Dobra Tea Room in Asheville, complete with oriental rugs on the floors, soft, homey lighting, comfy chairs, booths, and floor pillows, and soothing...
Day 17
Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why:
Okay. I’m going to be a total horse nerd for this one…. If I could switch lives with anyone for one day I would probably choose Karen O’Connor, Beezie Madden, or Karen’s head groom, Max Corcoran. All of these women are amazing horsewomen and though Karen and Beezie compete in different disciplines, I...

The final exam in Lang120 is to write a personal narrative. Pretty straight-forward, right? I’ve been brainstorming for weeks and I have yet to come up with a topic that satisfies me. I have pages and pages of free-writes, all of which are perfectly acceptable topics… but none of them make me want to tell them. I have to have a draft done by Friday…...
