Today is 29 March 2006 Making me happy trips current lyrics

1: Jamie is moving to California before I get back from France.  I really don’t know who I will drink margaritas, smoke cigarettes secretly, talk about boys oh-so-candidly & drive around with. I’m a little sad now and will be a lot more so when I get home and don’t have my best friend here anymore.

B: I forget.

C: I was going through a box, a “treasure chest” as Nora called it, of all things girly. Letters, pictures, cards from birthdays and funerals, mementos, etc. I found the million birthday cards that I got on my 21st when I was at camp. My mom walked around town and handed out cards to strangers along with my address and asked people to send me birthday wishes. It was hands down the coolest thing I’ve ever gotten and I really want to pass it on to someone very soon.

IV: I have a favorite tree & it’s blooming now, if that’s what you call it when leaves open. I love it.

 5: I’m going to France on Friday and I am excited beyond excited.

Five is a good number to stop on & I love music. Btw Leah, who is never online b.c she is being cool in another time zone, thanks for your im forever ago. I’ll talk to you more later if I can ever catch you : )

Today is 24 March 2006 Making me happy key lime pie yogurt

Our wisteria bloomed, as did everything else here. Every single little leaf bud decided it would be a great idea to open up & now it’s blindingly green out & I love it.  Sunday afternoon Crysten and I, in the spirit of being eight, poured a gallon of soap on our trampoline and hosed it down. Then, in the spirit of being twenty two, got tired after 15 minutes, made ourselves drinks and spent the rest of the evening talking about life & boys.  

I need to drink the bottle of wine Kristina gave me, find a job for the summer, do laundry, roll with the punches, and cross bridges when I get to them.  

Today is 18 March 2006 Making me happy dedicating points on my star current lyrics my love will rip a skylight in the ceiling, givin myself to you now from the essence of my being

Walking around downtown with Jamie last night made me happy. Buying cigarettes, bar hopping, drinking too much, talking about life, etc. I’m content/happy/ok right now and it’s scaring me a little. I’m waiting for it to be pulled out from under my feet or something. I’m waiting for something to go wrong, because it has to. Because I don’t get the good too often. But maybe it’s my turn now.

In two weeks je marchera around Paris, speaking French, sending post cards par avion & buying Jenny a cute Parisian bag. 

I love that one of my 5th graders completely agreed with me that books are better than movies.

I like sleeping in your bed.

Today is 11 March 2006 Making me happy being obscene in public current lyrics called my mama said I’m in love with a stripper yo

Although I’m kinda afraid to jinx this week by enjoying it too much, I’m more afraid of not thoroughly appreciating every second.  Last night I went to the third of four concerts I have lined up for this weekend & it was amazing. I guess it’s not so much about the music or the band, but driving around Florida with my best friends during the prettiest week since last summer. It’s about Sarina losing a shoe and the new background on my cell phone. It’s about Arrested Development at nine in the morning and driving home with a dog in the backseat. That being said, however, James and I did agree that following The Partridge Family or Ace of Base wouldn’t be as much fun.

I have a thing for red shoes and songs that mention them. I think it stems from my youth when my favorite book was that one about the girl who bought red shoes instead of white ones for her confirmation.  Her feet wouldn’t stop dancing and she had to get them cut off and the red shoes went dancing off into the woods with the feet still in them.

Today is 5 March 2006 Making me happy plans for our patio current lyrics

For some reason, as I was stepping into the shower about twenty minutes ago, it hit me that probably a lot of people I know read this. Maybe I don’t really care and I just got paranoid for a second. Maybe I like knowing that people read this and I use it as a little passive-aggressive outlet. Maybe nobody reads it at all.

I’m seriously considering getting a star from The Little Prince tattooed on my heel. Only because that is the best book ever and the little five pointed messes that dot the sky in it are so perfect for who I am. If you know me you know why.  

Today is 2 March 2006 Making me happy 6th street current lyrics if it was up to me i would've figured you out

I love that when we get together we talk about stupid things like teeth and the way curling is scored.

I went to New York last weekend. I love how Jamie understands that it’s the type of place I can appreciate, but not really want to be there, but also be a little bit jealous of. All at the same time.

Decided not to apply to grad school this year since I don't know what I want to do at all and couldn't fake something in my statement of purpose that wasn't "I'm not ready to grow up please let me come back," I figured I would hold off on paying $10,000 till I'm more sure of where I want to be in five years.

Despite the fact that I am poor, single and barreling blindly into the future, I am happy. It's really silly the things that are making me happy though, because they are simple things like being woken up by head-butts from my cat, dancing on the roof of my car, tickets to fun concerts, my passport, waking up earlier than is necessary, and pictures from fun nights that I hadn't seen yet. And perfect days. And driving with my windows down.

Today is 18 February 2006 Making me happy trips to ABC current lyrics nobody knows where they might end up

It makes me wish a little bit for that time we walked around our apt with a video camera and made fun of ourselves.  With the one shot of alcohol in the freezer because we weren’t 21 and the cars that represented.

Thursday, yesterday and today were really amazing and I’m attributing that 97.46% to the niceness of the weather.  I'm on antibiotics now so hopefully the sinus infection will go away, and people have had more good things to say about me than bad, so that's always a plus. I really don't like when other people discourage me from doing something, because I have enough trouble already trying to keep up my own morale and convince myself that I'm good enough.

Today is 13 February 2006 Making me happy Tulips in beer glasses current lyrics nothing. I’ve been listening to classical for 6 days straight.

So my dad died ten years ago today. I know I put that up here every February 13th, but I feel like I need to. Because it’s my job to remember him, make other people remember him, talk about him and make it seem like he’s not really gone to someone who doesn’t know otherwise. It would probably benefit me to let go of some things in my life, but not this. This is something that it seems is ok to hold onto for as long as I need to. Sometimes I slip up and I say “parents” instead of “mom”. I wonder if anyone but me notices.

It’s a good thing I don’t really do valentines b.c I’m not too big on candy. If I had a perfect valentines day, however, it would definitely include a tee-shirt subscription from k-adorable & grey’s anatomy season 1 on dvd.

When I grow up I’m getting satellite radio and playing classical music in my house all the time.

Today is 10 February 2006 Making me happy orange & red sno cones

I like pulling cloves of garlic apart from each other, crushing them with the side of a knife, peeling off the papery skin and cutting out the little sprouts that grew because I left it on my window sill too long. It might be one of my favorite things.  

So I’ve learned about 100 new words this week for this little test I’m taking in a few days, words like ‘aplomb’ and ‘cadge’ and ‘perspicacious’.  I’m glad in finally have a concrete reason to expand my vocabulary… I feel like it’s something that might make my dad happy.

Things I’m looking forward to right now include taking showers with the citrus body wash I bought yesterday, getting a 1480 on the GRE, applying to grad school, plane tickets, road trips & concerts,  using the grill more than is necessary, day light saving time, and passing out on the trampoline with my roommates.   

I’m interested to see how the next year of my life will play out.

Today is 5 February 2006 Making me happy vip @ the Round Bar current lyrics I wanna give you one last kiss

I woke up this morning still drunk, thoroughly amused by last night and feeling a little silly about the way things went down.  All girls are crazy and my roommates and I are no exceptions. It probably doesn’t help any that when I drink, I stop caring what ppl think about me. I don’t get sentimental or emotional (well, not usually. But I guess it has happened…) I get loud, brash & invincible. I dance on tables and there is a very fine line between happy & pissed beyond belief.   

I really enjoy doing stupid little nothings that have no purpose except to get someone thinking. About me? Maybe. Probably. But I don’t care. I like finding little ways to get into peoples’ heads. Maybe I’m just like some people I know and crave attention, but I refuse to beg for it. Unless I’m half in the bottle. And then there are no rules anymore.

Today is 3 February 2006 Making me happy Lightning @ 3 am current lyrics she’s long gone with her red shoes on, gonna find another lovin’ baby

I am so tired of saying goodbye to things & people. My dog died on Saturday, my moms died this morning. My dad died almost ten years ago & it stopped hurting three years ago. I’m over having real things to be sad about… I like when I can be a stupid girl and get upset about frivolous things.

I really can’t wait until it’s green again. I’m in love with the spring & at a little bit of a loss over what to do with my life.   

Today is 2 January 2006 Making me happy bar tops current lyrics I waited till I saw the sun

Someone bought the air freshener that we had over the summer and sitting here is reminding me of when I first hung out here a lot and ultimately moved in. I’m putting Norah Jones on my iPod and it’s reminding me of 3 winters ago when I took pictures of Phil, painted my toenails purple and took a rainy day trip to St Augustine.

I feel like streamlining my life right now. I want to take people off my buddy list, remove facebook friends that I’m not actually friends with, delete accounts to random websites that I don’t use, reorganize my bookshelf and my music. Use fewer words in sentences. Get a new cell phone. Be myself more.

I love warm weather. Love.
