I'm really patchy about updating LJ. I finally decided to create a blog where I spend more time.
If you're interested in keeping up with it, you can visit it here.
I'll be lurking and keeping up with y'all here, though.
I hope you're all doing well.

Sufjan Stevens - Oh God, Where Are You Now? |
] |
Keeping in line with past birthdays.
Yes, I know it's a little late.
But late is better than never, right?
10 Things I Know at the Age of 23 at 11:37 P.M. on the 3rd of December: (in no particular order)
01. Becoming more adventurous is more complicated than you would think. (It took me a whole year to grasp).
02. I want to live somewhere that has seasons when I graduate. This whole extended summer, non-existent fall and winter thing isn’t working for me.
03. AP style kicks MLA’s ass.
04. I don’t care what you think about Regina Spektor. She’s a genius and so much fun.
05. I will always procrastinate. And afterward, I will tell myself I won’t do it again, even though I inevitably will.
06. Allergies suck. Bikini waxes hurt. A hug from a friend at the perfect moment feels amazing.
07. Sometimes, circumstances force you to drink that disgusting wine.
08. I (still) have the best friends in the world.
09. Nothing makes me happier than to hear him say he loves me.
10. Despite my missteps during the past year, I am happy with where I am and who I have become.

Wilco - Hell is Chrome |
] |
Happy Halloween!
If anyone else is doing Nanowrimo, feel free to go here to add me as a friend. I'd like as many encouragements as possible to actually write in November. (Because, for the first time in my collegiate career, my schoolwork is not taking over my life. And I think I can actually do it).
The weather is nice here. Finally. Oh, Louisiana, I'm glad you let fall finally show itself. I like it far more than the humidity and heat the summer subjects us to.
That's basically it.
I hope all is well in your part of the globe.
The air was crisp like sunny late winter days, a springtime yawning high in the haze, and I felt like I belonged.

Indigo Girls - Least Complicated |
] |
It's hard to believe how far I have come this past year and how much one situation changed me. And for the first time since the whole debacle began, I am thankful it did because I have changed for the better, despite my missteps.
A year offers great perspective, and I'm soaking it in.
How have you been, friends?
The hardest to learn was the least complicated.

Joni Mitchell - A Case of You |
] |
Yesterday was rough because I was stuck/napping on the couch for a majority of the day.
However, there were bright spots. Like the Sprite for my stomach, cookies (chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin because he didn't know what I like) for sugar and a sandwich for substance.
I cannot remember the last time someone other than my mother took care of me.
... I forgot how nice it is.

Cat Power - Speak for Me |

Umm, amazing.
The quintessential word of my teenage years -- crunk -- has been added to the dictionary.
Other recently added words: ginormous, Bollywood and telenovelas, among various others.
Thanks, Meriam-Webster. You just made my day.

Architecture in Helsinki - The Owls Go |
] |
A while ago, you sent me a song that stated, "It's not too late now to change your mind," and "Don't go finding a replacement. I promise I'll show you heart."
Uh huh.
I never wrote back.
... But what I really wanted to say was, "You must not know 'bout me."

Amos Lee - Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight |
] |
Oh, it's interesting how things work out.
I am convinced they all received memos now that there is a new hope. I only need one more call to prove my theory.
All is well, friends, and I wish the same for you.
Summer is here, and I cannot wait to see what it holds.
I think we got a chance to make it right.

Feist- Let It Die |

Is it bad that the only thing I want is for someone to cuddle with me and scratch my back?
Nothing more, nothing less.
Let it die, and get out of my mind.

Last night really put things into perspective.
I wasn't lying on the bathroom floor of Bogie's, screaming and bleeding profusely.
Yes, things could have been a lot worse...

I know it don't make a difference to you, but oh, it sure made a difference to me. You'll see me off in the distance--I hope--at the other end; the other end of the telescope.

Ben Gibbard & Andrew Kenney - You Remind Me of Home |
] |
I never imagined that walking down the stairs could be considered so sexy. How I caught his eye in such a short time, I do not know, but I don't want to be stared at like that again.
And while it's nice for someone to tell you they think you're attractive, being so straightforward is not becoming of anyone.
No, dear, we will not be having "the best night of our lives" tonight. No, no, no.

Ben Harper - Forever |
] |
Driving away from the movie theatre last night, we talked about bringing boys home for holidays and how it's a big step.
No one is coming home with me for Thanksgiving, and I'm okay with that. Bringing someone home means you're in a serious relationship. By bringing him into the madness that is my family means that he has heard about it, come to terms with it and wants to be introduced into it. And I feel that establishing a relationship of that strength will take some time.
Maybe next year?
I won't let my forever roam, and now I hope I can find my forever a home.
