i've been sad lately that i've become so grown up. i've thought this thought a lot lately, "what has africa done to me? and when am i going to cry about it all?". i hope it doesn't catch me off guard...if it ever does.

no joke

i just spent the last 30 minutes watching videos just like this, laughing and having my mind blown. go to youtube and type in "parkour" then sit back and enjoy the show

I WILL RISE ABOVE IT ALL

i am trying to overcome: SELF DOUBT

one time i lost about 10-15lbs. because of a boy. it's not because he thought i was fat it's because he made me so nervous i couldn't eat.

boys make me nervous and they make me lose weight.

i do not like this.

i have been reading quinn's mom a book called "do hard things." because of this, i have so much confidence in myself. i wish i had started doing hard things sooner.

(even when i feel small, i expect great things)

MULTI-TASK

something i like to do is eat a cheeseburger while driving and listening to music

message in a bottle

When people ask me  how I like it here in Cambridge I say, "It's great! I love it!" when really I mean, "Iamreallysadandlonelyandwanttogohomebutwhereisthatanymore" and "I am not too excited about freezing my ass off in a month's time"

one of my favorite things about art classes is talking about art so much. during a critique in yesterdays drawing class i was able to reference ideas from artists as varied and different as piet mondrian and the de stijl movement and KR and the contemporary "street art" movement.

i don't care if people see me pick my nose.

i still have a tape this boy in 2nd grade recorded professing his love for me.

CUTE!

Can we?

With all this Obama mania, I am too afraid/ embarrassed to stand up and admit that I do not care for Senator Obama* and as much as Hillary Clinton scares me, I was hoping she would get the nomination...it feels good to get that off my chest.




*Note: this doesn't mean I support Senator McCain either.

piccolo!

I can't believe I never thought of this until today, but in high school I used to watch Dragonball Z every day at 4:00, for at least a solid semester. I even remember leaving friends' houses and/or taping it so I wouldn't miss what was going on.

i really like pickled carrots

Out of sight

I'm watching Mr. Holland's Opus.

i recently read the profile to a stranger's diaryland. she said, "i rarely read a book that i don't like."

my first thought was, "i frequently read books that i don't like." so what?

i don't think that this means that she likes reading any more than i do. is it weird that i got really defensive about this inside my head? i've never been "competitive" about reading reactions before.
