doom
this afternoon i went to my favorite place to get a burrito in twin falls, nine beans, for one final hurrah burrito. as i was nearing the end of my rice and bean i shoveled a bite into my mouth, chewed and felt something stringy, hard, and something that was not rice or beans. i spit it out, and it was a lump of some kind of carne asada.
this means that the burritos i crave while i’m in...

first world problems
today i went to a small party with my dad’s band and my mom talked for at least five minutes about how her second refrigerator is broken, and everybody pretended to care. i mean, i guess i like having that fridge because it’s in the garage and it’s pretty easy to sneak beer out of occasionally, but who the heck cares!? it’s not like we don’t have a freezer downstairs...

favorite?
so perhaps i put too much emphasis on what a person likes and how it influences them. i am a gal who has a top five page in her notebook with hardly any room. anyway last year after living in ashland for a while i came up with a hypothesis that there are three types of people in ashland depending on who they like the most between bob dylan, bob marley, and kurt cobain. bob marley fans are most...

ah the depot grill
this evening i went to my favorite restaurant in twin, the depot grill (quick facts: i’ve been drinking coffee there for six years; all the waitresses are the same and call me darling or sugar; the people that cook there are on work leave from prison; it’s next to the rail road tracks and all the bars; it’s open 24 hours a day; the regulars and most of the customers are down home...

current events
today i looked for st. johns tea freaking everywhere in twin falls. they don’t have it.
no wonder people here are so cranky and uptight. maybe if they could buy good mood tea they’d be happier.
anyway, while i was madly dashing about winco, i got hit by a blind lady’s stick thing (i don’t know what they’re called and i apologize being not politically correct about...

c'est noel
every christmas eve my family goes to the methodist church for christmas eve service. it’s a chance for all of us to save our souls and celebrate the misconception of jesus’ birthday. my mom goes to church all the time, so she knows how to behave and sing correctly but we’re not the best. we always sit next to the stone family who have two boys. i always think it must be pleasant...
today i opened up a christmas present from my friend hannah. she gave me pearl earrings, but i’ve been wearing them all day and feeling a little sophisticated, a little like a first lady, and a lot like a woman.
it’s like these pearl earrings are the new woman of myself. my first period was the beginning of womanhood and these pearl earrings demonstrate the sophistication that...

update #2
november came to a close and i was ecstatic to shave. finally, i could run my legs together and it would be like a venus commercial. so on december first i begin shaving, but i only got one leg. mostly because i grew a lot of freakin’ hair and shaving a leg is pretty time consuming. so my left leg has remained hairy, because now i’m going for “double it december” (my...
being a young adult is the pits
seriously, i have to be the worst adult i know but probably the best kid. i hate being a young adult. i feel like i have to start wearing high heels with black tights and beat myself up for not being crafty enough. why isn’t anybody approaching me to go on young adult dinner dates? when do you start taking responsibility for yourself, and you can actually handle it? why isn’t there a...

i have a friend who i think likes tips and different things to mix up everyday life as much as i do. this friend sometimes stays warm in kitchens by turning on the oven and hovering near it. i’m doing this too and it’s not working amazingly, but it’s getting the job done.
this friend also is a phenomenal gift giver. my last birthday, i was kind of having a rough time, and he had...
the devil wears prada
i grew up with this angry Vietnamese kid. we used to play army games at recess in which he would jump on my back and kick me. he HATED humanity. his favorite movie in sixth grade was some horror leprechaun movie. he used to want to be the leprechaun. he told this kid that he would chop off his head with a piano string (before audition came out!).
anyway, my last year living in idaho he came into...
To begin with: everything.
(via orangealert)

and when they sing tiny dancer in the bus? that my friends is movie fucking magic.
when does puberty end?
i’m a late bloomer. in fact, somebody told me this summer “it’s just like, you’ve bloomed, you know”. i laughed in their face of course, but seriously. will there be a sign or something? i still feel like i’m freaking out and feeling really weird, confusing, messy stuff, and there’s absolutely no reason for it. it must be puberty right, right?!
