Tonight I’m playing Monopoly with Katie and Elena, then I’m making crafts with Amber and Liz. And that’s all I’m doing tonight.
This is so hard right now, and hearing negativity and accusations will only make things harder. So I cannot engage that right now. I’m not treating you like you’re a horrible person but I know that if I give in I will be treated like I’m a horrible person. I have school and I have obligations. Those don’t just stop. I can’t put my life on hold. I have homework and I...
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Created a character for my fiction class based on what I see myself becoming if I change nothing. Realized she wasn’t at all likable.
Today would’ve been my mom’s 56th birthday. So normally I would wallow about how life’s not fair. And that’s what I did while sitting in traffic on the bridge today eating Hardee’s. But there’s a time to mourn and a time to dance. So I wanna maybe try that a little bit. Because as much as I’ve been bitter the past few years the truth is that I...

I didn’t hear the voicemail until just now. I don’t know if that makes a difference or not.

I woke up feeling so uneasy and I don’t know why.
Getting on the internet makes me terribly unhappy. Except for this:
Watchthedailywhat:
In Case You Missed It of the Day: On last night’s Report, Stephen Colbert, who is polling ahead of serious candidate Jon Huntsman in South Carolina, teased a possible last-minute dark-horse bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
“This just got real,” Colbert said before promising a “major announcement” on tonight show.
Could Colbert/Stewart 2012 still happen?

And to think I almost signed up for the Disney film class instead….

A Message to Women From a Man: "You Are Not Crazy" →
Amen.
I’ve never really been a rah-rah-sis-boom-bah kind of girl. I’m too negative and distrustful of elitist authority figures and cliques for that. And I can go off on a rant about how Paul Trible only cares about the college (and becoming more comparable to UVA and W&M), not the students.
With all that being said, this was a tough week for Virginia colleges. You probably know that,...

Yes, this is for real. Not a joke, not a game. There, unfortunately, is no shortage of backwards thinkers.
This is sickening.
As soon as I finish these papers I’m going to do nothing for a month but read and watch tv shows on dvd. Harry Potter and Little House on the Prairie, it’s going down.
Oh yeah, and working 38 hours a week…

Christmas Songs I hate
As you might know, I’m on tumblr a lot more during finals time than any other time of the year, ever. Anyways, here.
1. Baby, It’s Cold Outside
This one actually used to be one of my favorites. Then I realized that the female part keeps saying “the answer is no” and “what’s in this drink.” This sounds like attempted coercion followed by date rape to me....
Facebook is deactivated until I finish papers and exams/feel like I want to be on it again….because right now I really don’t.

Sorrowful ‘Blue Nights’: Didion Mourns...
Someone told me via Facebook that they were thinking about me today. My first thought was, did I miss it? Do they know and I don’t? I just googled my brother’s obituary from 1998 because I thought I missed it.
The day is burned into my mind, my dad telling me in the living room right after I woke up, while his sisters and mother stared at me.

In the family Thanksgiving email of who’s bringing what, this is what I just saw:
Granny- red solo cups (let’s party :) )
