But I don't have mail.

"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? 

So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? 

I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void."

I've seen 3 meteors in the last 3 weeks.

I'm listening.

i miss this precious kitty face.

 BLOSSOM KITTY, please come to Thanksgiving in Texas with me?

CHEX MIX. you are the devil.

Looks harmless, right? 
You have 6 points left for the day, you could definitely eat some. 
Actually, even if you ate most of the bag, it wouldn't do THAT much damage... go on, EAT IT.

A whole bag later, 
[a bag that is HALF the size of a normal chip bag, anyone would eat the whole thing in one sitting] 
 I finally calculate it.

24 POINTS
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
My whole day. & then some.

THAT IS 2 DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS FROM MCDONALDS.
 I could cry. I'm literally so close to crying**



**skinny girls need not comment, THANX.

Life is absurd, deal with it.

There is no escape. You can’t be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don’t try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. You are not a Greek. You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself.
You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm!  Let it drive you!

oh, P.S.

did you know I'm moving here for the summer?

and then I said

Well, we just need free time
because we are free spirits
and college isn't always a place for those.

But I have to finish.
and I will finish.
I'm too close to quit now.

And then I'll explore the world
and meet more free spirits
who won't take no for an answer.

And we'll make music
and fall in love
and have babies.

School is for now, and school is for later, but I can't let it steal my joy.

True Love Waits, right?

Ahhh... welcome to autumn/winter... 
the time of year when my fingers shrink, and the puns about my virginity are abounding.

I wear a 'True Love Waits' ring on my left finger at all times, to remind myself daily that my choice of remaining a virgin until I'm married is really important to me. (It has a flower on it. I awkwardly tell anyone who asks that its a ring for when I get de-flowered... I think I'm funny sometimes, sorry.) I'm 22, and most (not all) people would assume that a girl my age is ready & just waiting for the opportunity...but not me. I know when my right opportunity is, and I'll give him my ring on our wedding day. I've had this specific one since I was 15, and while its been difficult at times to take my promise seriously, I'm thankful I can see it on my left hand every day.

given... I'm currently single. Promising not to have sex with your non-existing boyfriend is an easy promise to keep ;) Call me later when I actually love some one & I'll let you know how difficult it is then. And if you've done it before... I'm 98% more jealous than I am judgmental, pinky swear. I'm just doing whats best for ME.

The reason I'm bringing all this up - every year around this time, a funny thing happens.

I wave to a friend in the cafeteria... my ring flies off & lands in my neighbor's macaroni. I lick it clean (sorry, its true) and put it back on, as everyone around makes jokes about how I'm destined to have sex in a vat of mac&cheese. Romantic, right?

I got my first purity ring when I was 14, but the ocean's undertow sucked it right off my hand... We were young, but we still managed to make plenty of sex on the beach jokes. 

I raise my hand in class, it flies off into oblivion and we spend the next 7 minutes as a group looking for my virginity on the speckled carpet floor.

I shake Todd's hand in chapel, it comes off in his grasp and everyone around can clearly see that Todd is my future husband. Destiny, duh.

One time I was shopping for antique buttons at a vintage store in town, and on the way home I realized my ring wasn't on my finger. I drove back to all 3 salvation armies before finding the ring at the bottom of a basket of 249756249562 buttons... and cried when I put it back on. It was a miracle I didn't loose then too.

In high school, this guy David snatched it off my hand, and wouldn't give it back till 4th block. I wasn't even dating him. Rude.  


I can't get it re-sized, because then it will be too small in the summer. 
I can't take it off... I feel naked without it. (heheh... naked... get it?)


So. Until I'm wedded in holy matrimony... I apologize in advance if my purity every falls into your chicken tetrazzini. - Kathleen
