20Tension.
Every year I have resolutions that go nowehere. This year I’ve decided to have pretty lame, pretty meaningful ones. I want to get published in any fashion for one, I’d like to work on a musical or at least get the gene to be decent at musical theater. They’re both creative and lame, I’m aware, but to counteract, I’ve decided to make resolutions of things that I would...

I Really Need This Job.
My dreams may just come true this summer.
Thank You Justin Hubly. Thank you infinitely.

We aimed the car west and found what we wanted. Plus Gypsies.

I’ve been meaning to buy this book, but I don’t know why it always doesn’t happen. Hahaha. New Year’s Resolution: Buy this, and also Looking for Alaska. And probably other John Green books.

My biggest fear is the opening scene of Revolutionary Road.
Yet I had that exact conversation this year.
Except I wasn’t as graceful as a Winslet.
And you weren’t as dashing as a DeCaprio.
And the road wasn’t nearly as revolutionary.
Maybe that opening isn’t so bad after all….

You Had Me At OH NO YOU DID NOT!
My Aunt gave me a journal last night as a gift with the phrase
“What you love will love you back if you let it…”
inscribed in big. bold. Times.
Maybe it’s just me but it seems like a rather rude phrase to print on a notebook.
Either way, it became fire wood before I even muttered thank you.
It didn’t stand a chance from the beginning.
Whoever said this was...
What's In a Name?
Merry Christmas.
My gift today was watching a girl named AnnMarie on “Hollywood Bank” ask for funding to patent a new stirpper pole. And she was a complete dumbass, this AnnMarie.
Thank you, God.
Wait...
Today my friend got a text message from his ex girlfriend that said
“Looking back on old photos…can’t help but think…”
and before he got part two, he responded with
“…I know. Miss ya too, kid”
and she stated
“Wait. What? No, I was thinking ‘Wait…I thought you were way better looking than this’. No offense. Funny how...

Hey, Painting. What are you, like, oils on a canvas? Boy, that’s a priceless way to capture the human condition.

Whoa, nice beat you got there, Music. Yeah, that’ll never get old. Why don’t you repeat that chorus again?...
Pssssst.
I just found a note you scribbled for me in your car.
I know you did it there because it’s written in that obnoxious green gel pen you refused to throw away. Even your cupholder was embarrassed to hold onto it.
It’s just ideas and things you thought I would think highly of, the little quips we’d record and swap when things weren’t so polluted.
But I totally forgot about...
Modern Romance.
Have you ever had the feeling that someone changed their privacy settings on Facebook because of you?
I just had that. Three times over.
mmmmm :(

This DMV smells like the first day of school.
And I love it.

I daydream about watching MSNBC with you.
Home Sweet Home.
I am headin’ home soon, and there is something missing.
And I have tried to figure out what it is.
This should be the ideal moment of my life; finally winding down with school work, it’s Christmas, it’s my first visit home.
And for some reason, it’s just not grabbing my attention. Going home. It sounds nice, but feels just…fine.
Sure there...
