I needed to hear this tonight. For my girls - near and far - I <3 you so much.

So the other day on my way to class I innocently stop by the front office and ask the manager if he could please have someone look at my bath tub - it’s been draining really slowly, which made it a real pain in the ass to clean, and meant that I was ankle deep in water when I showered. No big deal. Right?
Hours later, on the bus coming home I pull out my phone and see a voicemail… from my...

depends on how you define "depression"
(after I sent him a Washington Post update on how the Hoyas leading scorer is expected not to play Saturday due to an injury)
Jermaine: this is why you should stick to reading about less depressing topics... like the economy or the war in iraq
me: the sad part is.... you're only half joking there, right?

At the age of 17, someone might have convinced me that my blinkers were slowing down because I needed to replace the blinker fluid.
But guess what? THEY DON’T MAKE BLINKER FLUID.
I’m going to file this away in my folder of ways to fuck with people.
One of my best friends once convinced a guy we knew that the stop signs bordered in white are optional.

Song - Adrienne Rich
I love Adrienne Rich - and this poem always reminds me of long winters.
You’re wondering if I’m lonely: OK then, yes, I’m lonely as a plane rides lonely and level on its radio beam, aiming across the Rockies for the blue-strung aisles of an airfield on the ocean
You want to ask, am I lonely? Well, of course, lonely as a woman driving across country day after day, leaving...
I guess if you’re going to fuck it up anyway, it doesn’t really matter how you do it, does it? I mean, either way you’re making a mess. Either way you’re pretty much left with nothing.

Bill Simmons’ golden retriever died - if you’re an animal lover you’ll end up in tears but it’s worth a read. I’m still crying now.

good karma
and strange fate - stepping on a wallet getting out of a car in Arlington, VA on a girls night out, realizing someone has lost this wallet, that this person lives 3 miles from where you grew up in NJ and has the same state health insurance you used to have, leaving her a voicemail telling her you have her wallet, it is safe and you will overnight it to her - eating dinner, talking and laughing and...

the things we don't say
I was going to put a moratorium on posting sad/angsty lyrics/things. Because contrary to how this looks I am not actually (always) that kind of person. Than I decided what the fuck, this is mine and so I post what I like and if someone is going to follow the link from my facebook or something and read this and read into it and projects and then think things instead of just talking to me….

I said that the list of what I used to be might be longer than what I am now. I wrote that list out today, during econ, but I left it in my locker, so it’s there for the night. But the one thing that stood out.

so i realized that worrying about someone who obviously can’t make up his mind about me is essentially futile and only contributes to my daily stress. if he really wanted to hang out or talk, he would call me. if he really wanted to be with me, he would tell me. this just isn’t acceptable and i’m not going to tolerate it anymore. but how do i get rid of this undeniable feeling of...

“I kept telling them, you deserve to win. I knew it was going to happen, I just didn’t know when. Over the last week and a half, our practices had been more competitve. There was a look and feel to it. You just knew we were starting to get better. It was a fun game to be involved in.”
