that's all.

1 year

okay, i'm really ready to not be sick anymore :(

care

what makes being this awfully sick well worth it? when a certain lovely man drives for 45 minutes and braves my terrifying germs...just to bring me soup and keep me company for a few hours. 2 evenings in a row. i'd call myself spoiled, but it's all still so new and unreal to me...so i'll just call myself blessed. :)

color theory?

"purple is all relative."

life lesson #8

make sure you really eat enough breakfast when you take your vitamins in the morning. because vomiting into a trashcan in front of a group of students outside a classroom is not the best way to start a long day of substitute teaching.

sometimes, i can be tricky

i had far, far too much fun pissing off the crazy aggressive driver behind me today. i also think i'm lucky to be alive.

yep

at a friend's this evening a tender spot on my heel had increased to real noticeable soreness. i looked at it and saw a small dark line...thereby figuring it was a splinter and i would just pull it out when i got home. a few minutes ago in my bathroom, i bent my leg into an almost impossible shape over my hip, took a pair of tweezers...and proceeded to pull out a straight, stiff black hair that had wedged itself almost a half inch into my foot.

i think it was pip's.

98...99...

i got this book 100 Cupboards for my birthday 2 days ago and i'm almost done with it.

i love it when that happens. complete capture.


thank you alec and sarah!!

littlest boys...

...

i met sufjan stevens today...
(handshake) "hi colleen, nice to meet you, i'm sufjan."

i muttered a few words.

and proceeded to hide from him for the next hour and a half.

SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW SUFJAN TOMORROW

early.

me: how are we both up at 7am? what's going on??

laura: i know. it seems wrong.

whoooaaaaa

chad and i were walking through downtown clairemont yesterday, and a short distance ahead i saw some planters, people sitting on benches, and a wall covered in murals. there was a man standing in front of the mural examining it very closely...i thought it was funny and kind of weird...i even remarked about it out loud.

then as we passed him, we realized he was just peeing on it. chad started walking really fast and i began to laugh aloud. "DON'T JUDGE ME!!" he yelled in drunken amusement. "I KNOW YOU'RE JUDGING ME!!"
 i had to run to catch up with my very embarrassed boyfriend.

she's *what*???

laura and i just had a really strange and confusing conversation about two different people while both thinking we were talking about the same person. in the end, it was just really funny. :)

henry and ian :)

gah

i can't sleep. all i can do is think of how much i want to see and hold and know the babies.

happy birthday

joey again: "this guy played it cool, stayed in the fluid and when he got on the outside had a lot to say about the abuse he endured for 7 months."
