here are a few things that I am not handling well….

1. feeling sick to my stomach for days at a time. gross and also not fun.

2. my apartment is such a mess I felt embarrassed for you to see it in this state. and you lived with me and know I am not the neatest person ever. plus you love me for my insides, not my apartment. even so. that’s how messy it is.

3. I have a lot of homework constantly. I know it is the point in the semester when this is what happens, but I am tired and not feeling well and I don’t want to write a paper about anorexia.

4. Lillian has apparently developed insomnia. it is very stressful. she is 9. 9 year olds who can’t sleep wake up their mothers to explain that they can’t sleep. I love her with my whole heart but here’s what… when I can’t sleep I don’t wake her up to tell her. I get it etc, but grrrr. also sad for her. she is exhausted and also not feeling well.

5. I read an article (and posted it to facebook if you want to read it) that got me super annoyed. some stupid group who is trying to stop gay marriage had secret plans to set blacks against gays hoping gay people would call black people bigots and get discredited (I suppose the logic is that black people can’t also be bigots? I’m not sure, but then again I am not the brainiac who has decided to forbid gays from getting married). this annoys me very much. VERY MUCH. I have a lot of feelings. I don’t understand why people feel like it is fine to be total douche bags. I wish that there were less total douche bags in the world.

6. I am watching pillars of the earth the movie (or maybe mini series?). I love that book and I LOVE when John Lee reads it to me on my ipod. this movie is not doing it for me at all. I hate when a great book is made into a not great movie. I could turn it off I guess, but I probably won’t.

7. too cute. I can’t stop watching it. it is my favorite show next to hardball. kittens are very cute. so are puppies who are learning to be seeing eye dogs. so are baby sloths. and also guinea pigs who curl up with kittens. all of them are so cute that I can’t stop watching them do cute things instead of writing my paper.

I am obsessed. I am not doing my work because I am watching kittens. they are for real too cute!!!

Cute boys are fun, even if all you ever do with them is observe them wearing hats.

Lil and I have been a little under the weather. If at any point you enter my apartment this week, try to remember the love you have for me in your heart.

I have some fun/potentially exciting work news to report. I also have some not fun/potentially upsetting non-work news to report.

Also we need to discuss the fact that Lil is turning 10 (gasp) and you need to come to the carnival.

That’s all I have for now because I have to do some french. Did I tell you my new approach? I decided maybe I should try to LEARN french since I am taking it. No more complaining (hopefully) and maybe I will gain fluency!

Bon nuit ma petite fleur….

I met a boy. All I can tell you right now about him is that I know his first name, he has a cute smile, and he can rock a hat, but I am feeling some kind of way about it.

I don’t know if I’m going to like him, or feel The Feelings, or any of that, but I do know that he is adorable and I like that he is adorable.

Oh I read you. And I am with you. I have jobs that need to be done. Also, thanks! I am proud of...

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 11:37:00 -0400

Oh I read you. And I am with you. I have jobs that need to be done.

Also, thanks! I am proud of myself, too. Being grown is hard work. But you are super supportive of me in all ways, and that helps a bunch. It makes it slightly less intimidating.

Tuesday, we are on. I will be in Harrisburg during the day but I’m pretty sure we get back to town early enough that I can come over. If that changes, I’ll let you know, but I think we’re cool. Friday, we’re also on, but I have a dentist appointment at 8:30am (I know, ew), so we’re on for after that, if that’s ok. I can probably make it to Frazer by 10:30ish.

I miss being around you.

are we on for friday? let’s discuss. what about tuesday. let’s discuss that too. xoxo

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 10:43:00 -0400

first of all I think we should see each other more. I am very happy to read your stories but I would more often like to hear about them in person. let’s work on that.

second of all I think you are lovely.

third of all I am so impressed with how grown you are now. no drama, just a side eye. I think that fellow was good practice for you, as I have told you before, but you need a grown (not old!) man who is nice and deals with you properly in all circumstances, but also knows what’s what and gets all jobs (if you read me) done.

hooray you!

xoxoxo

Here’s what I just had an event and I need to tell you about it. So today I went to this thing...

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 19:11:00 -0400

Here’s what I just had an event and I need to tell you about it.

So today I went to this thing for my LSW exam it was a prep course. Six and a half hours. So boring. So that was from 9-3:30ish, and then Ashley and Elena came over to my house and we hung out for a little while cuz we figured we would just go out to dinner in town and whatnot. So about 5:15 we go over to one of the places in town, it’s a bar, but it’s also a restaurant. We’re chilling out, having a good time, laughing, etc. I got quesadillas. Delicious. So we’re sitting there, and I have a view of the bar the whole time. I looked over as we’re like, maybe 2/3 of the way through our food, and at the same time I realized it, Elena goes “Oh… is that ***?” You know who *** is. I was like “Fuck. Seriously?” But I was all “whatever, it’s fine, no big deal.” I knew he was there; he saw me after he sat down at the bar to wait for his friends to get there but we didn’t acknowledge each other, and when I went to the bathroom he was staring at his phone when I went as close as I was going to get to near him to go back to sit down. But he KNEW I was there. So anyway, we finish eating, we have dessert, whatever, fine. We get up to leave and by then one of his friends was there. So the way we have to walk to get from our table to the door, we HAVE to walk past the end of the bar. He’s not on the end, but he’s about two seats down. So as we’re walking by he is obviously fake talking to his friend like “Oh if I’m talking to my boy then I don’t have to acknowledge her” and I’m like “hmm, not the classiest, but whatever, do your thing, I get it, awkward sauce.” But I kinda kept looking as I started to turn cuz I was like, it’s so fake the way he’s talking. So as I’m turning, he immediately stops talking and looks up and is looking right at me. I was like “WHAT.” So I gave him the side-eye. You know. The one where all you do is make a kind of questioning eyebrow move but what it says is “Really? You’re gonna try to be like that after I was ready to act mature and be nice and even wave or say hello and now you’re trying to act like a little teenager? Fine. I can play like that, too. Game on, bitch. Fuck your face.” It’s a complex move, but you know how I do.

I was SUPER annoyed when we got outside. And Elena saw better than Ashley what happened, but they both saw it, and they know the whole deal between us, and they were like “seriously, what the hell was he doing?” So I was like “AAAAAUGH” but I kept my shit together and I didn’t start getting heated until we got outside. But I was really proud of myself because normally I would have just done nothing and stared like a dorkface and not given him the side-eye and then later been like “FUCK I WISH I’D SIDE-EYED HIM” but it would have been too late. But I just handled my shit and I was like “Whatever, clearly you’re acting like a little boy and I’m not even down with your shenanigans so step off.”

It was just a hot mess. I am feeling about eleventy billion kinds of ways right now. But I am proud of myself because I expressed my “fuck, really, it’s like that? This is so immature” feelings without being all crazy or ridiculous or irrational or emotional but also I like, side-eyed instead of just being whatever and not doing anything. Also, fuck, seriously, GO HOME AND GET OUT OF MY LIFE. I am so tired of running into this punk every single place in West Chester!

So that’s my story.

What? You guys are so sweet! Thanks, boo :). I just spent a bunch of time rounding up art supplies...

What? You guys are so sweet! Thanks, boo :).

I just spent a bunch of time rounding up art supplies from my apartment because I am running group tomorrow and I am going to give a room full of teenagers some glitter glue, markers, poster board, and googly eyes, and tell them to go crazy. So hopefully that goes well. I guess we’ll see. Between that and pizza I think I have a chance of winning them over. Yay multimedia art projects and tasty treats!

It made me think of you because at least for you when you bring your kids some glitter you are guaranteed to get a good response. Three year olds are so much easier than teenagers. I am kind of jealous of you.

I would like everything a lot better if we still lived together. I am in the mood for some Craig’s List reading, popsicle eating, and stoop sitting. Truth.

we’re into you. for realzzzzzzzz.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:23:14 -0400

Chris Matthews is a rockstar, and I like the other lady he had on the show who was actually talking about the topic and behaving rationally. That congresswoman was mindlessly robotic and aggressively annoying.

The fact that basic human rights for women are up for debate infuriates more than I can possibly articulate. It honest to God makes me so angry that I start to cry if I focus too much time on it.

I love Chris Matthews and I don’t love people trying to...

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:24:00 -0400

I love Chris Matthews and I don’t love people trying to boss the ladies around and then acting like someone else did it.

dear phone, start acting right or you will regret it. Sarah

dreamy boys are fun.

tonight I was watching america’s funniest home videos with Mike and Lil and there was a giant spider that made me cry and scream. this hasn’t been my best night ever.

I did get the dishes done and the living room cleaned up so that’s something.

I hope you have a good week baby!!

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:49:00 -0400

I have a new favorite band. It’s Say Anything. The lead singer, Max Bemis, who you can see above being super dreamy, is one of the reasons that I love them. He is So. Cute. Also, he and I are almost exactly six months apart in age (he’s older), so we could totally date (if he would just leave his wife). Just sayin’.

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:29:29 -0400

Whoa, Goldie is a rockstar! That’s awesome :). Also, French is dumb. It’s not like you’re even going to need to know how to speak French for any reason when all you want to do is math problems, anyway. That’s ridiculous.

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:10:00 -0400

here’s what…

I realized last night at 9 pm that I had a big french assignment that I hadn’t realized was there. I was up until 3 because I always wait until the last minute to do my french work. I’m still not done and everything is due in a few hours. I hate french and I hate being tired and I hate everything.

on the other hand, Goldie did very well yesterday. she doesn’t have her sticker yet because she needs a nozzle on her windshield and the part is coming next week, but no big deal. phew. I love Goldie. so I guess I don’t hate EVERYTHING.

I’m tired. and also I hate french.

xoxoxo

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:12:38 -0400

Lil makes a fair point. I like her rational sense of what’s what. She is a good girl. Also, I have to say, I understand that you hate losing an hour of sleep, and I’m with you on that, but I am so beyond excited that it is staying bright outside until later that I am about to lose my mind. So I am willing to make that trade-off, personally.

I like your idea about driving around the country. We don’t even have to punch people after we handle those few people who need them - we could just road trip and go on adventures and I will wear flip-flops and show everyone my foot. Also, let’s stay south for a while until it gets warmer everywhere, because I am ALL ABOUT this weather today!

Benjamin Franklin came up with daylight savings time. he deserves a beat down. I told Lil I was going to go to his grave in Philadelphia and dig him up and punch him. she thought he would be too dust-like so I decided to have a seance and punch his stupid spirit in the face… if I ever get my energy back enough to do it that is. I am tired.

you are lovely and wonderful and fabulous. let’s get married and drive around the country punching people in the face when they do things that make us angry. want to? you can wear flip flops to show off your new tattoo.
