Things That Are Lovely.

My attempt to lose the weight I recently gained is going horribly.
It has mostly resulted in a thousand chocolate pretzels and endless bowls of beans cheese and rice.
I need to get on top of this.








Damn.

About Me.

I always wanted to go to a private school, just so I could wear the nice uniform.

I'm nervous to travel much because I feel like my friends will forget about me.

It takes me several hours to fall asleep every night because I'm too busy thinking.

If I could have this every single day as my only meal, I would be perfectly ok with it.

I wish I lived in classier times, where everyone were more intellectual.

I feel like it would be worth being hungry to have thinner thighs.

I become unreasonably excited when I receive actual letters, via snail mail.

My favorite kind of weather is the warm, yet gloomy and rainy kind.

Also, I found this AMAZING cupcake blog. You should all check it out.

Oh, Wake Up Slow.

I can't think of much to write, except that I need to write more, more often.
I kept intending to today, and yesterday, and most of the week, but somehow it just results in lounging around and finding something on BBC or the food channel.

But life is.... living.
And I'm appreciating more and more.

The Wackness.

The Wackness is shit that goes down around us, the minor things that really bum us out.
Like forgetting to say Hi to your ex on their late brother's birthday.
Not hearing from someone in four days, most likely because they just haven't checked their texts.
That extra ten pounds that no matter how much you want to lose it, there will always be chocolate and pizza nearby.

The Wackness is also an excellent movie set in the 90s with Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby, and Ben Kingsly.
Mary-Kate Olsen also shows up a few times in it.
Everyone should watch it.










In further news, I've submitted my dorm deposit and will definitely be going to Marymount Manhattan next year.
I also made raspberry orange muffins today.


Happy birthday Sam. You'd be 22 today. We love and miss you, and you'd be so proud of your little sister, I'll make sure to watch out for her. Hope you're celebrating with something classy like cognac and pancakes.

For lack of a better title, this.

A week full of work, trying not to overeat, and squeeze in some reading.
But I'm getting there.
Hopefully by next week, I'll be able to fully (dare I hope?) relax.

Eye twitching is caused by fatigue, stress, and pure exhaustion.

I say this often, but this time I mean it. I'm remaking myself.
I will write more.
I will read at least one book every other week.
I will lose the TEN POUNDS I gained THIS MONTH.
I will be more patient.
I will listen more than I talk.
I will be more understanding.
I will give more.
I will breathe.
