If you had a penis for a day

Day four of the thirty day challenge: a picture of my favorite night



i would say that this picture generally sums up most nights when we get together with the crew. something always ends up happening, shenanigans ensue and we just sit around and laugh.
i love these people. i miss them so damn much. growing up is hard.

Day three of the thirty day challenge: A picture of the cast from your favorite show



holy penguin poop i love this show. for you uncultured fools it's the big bang theory. it's about three physicists, an engineer and a waitress at the cheesecake factory and the shenanigans that they get into. they're all socially awkward in some way and i just love that! it's a really funny show so if you've got an inner geek just dying to get out.... this is the show for you.

Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

So Damn Lucky

Day Two of the thirty day challenge:
A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest



she's my best friend, my confidant, my moral compass, my sister. we've been friends since preschool - literally - she has pictures to prove it. we're eating pretzels and drinking juice in the photo, by the way.
i know that after everything, we will be there for each other to support and encourage and sometimes bitch to each other.
and there have been times where we've been known to get a little goofy. the memories are endless.

riding bikes down case ave., racing around the circle at Prospect, going to the bookmobile, playing with beanie babies on my blanket, playing "dogs" on her jungle gym, making fort houses in the snow that only ever included tvs and chairs, playing pod racers in her room after school, swinging on june's swing, climbing our trees, her carrying my percussion set home from school, those first days of school when my mom took pictures of us, hiding in the leaf piles at halloween, memorizing her phone number but being too afraid to call, hiding in the back of her purple van, swinging on my rope swing, playing with my bunny rabbit, sneaking inside the house when our parents weren't home, finally being back in school together in high school, band lunch, cheta cheese, on the rising winds-shhhhhhh, playing albanian dance over and over and over again to get the pattern, the east and west hemispheres, mario savvio, shepka's baby, mmmm red meat, passing down my band gloves so she can use them to drive, hiding six people in brenda's car so we could get to the stadium, hat checks, stale popcorn and water at halftime, the candlelight ceremony, band lunch powwows, 5 mph in the parking lot, retarded flutes, duck lust buns, geese go quack, "did you say you'll never know it's keeshan?", dancing to yoko kanno at 2am, mario kart, cookies with no vanilla flavor, my grad party and the rainbow, alumni band when she wasn't yet an alumni - boom chicken boom, lolcats and how real they actually are, "the list", if i had a penis for a day, dave matthews' So Damn Lucky, Little Red Bird, LeRoi <3, in search of the red witt chairs......

okay so i'm exhausted from all that thinking.
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Wherein I succumb to peer pressure and talk too much about myself

Okay so I usually don't do these kinds of things, but they're blowing up facebook about it and it actually seems like a pretty cool concept. The idea is to upload a picture once a day for the next thirty days, and each day has a specific prompt.

Today is number 1: A picture of yourself with 10 facts.



and my ten facts:
1. I really love sleeping in and eating. I am trying to subscribe to the "eat when hungry, sleep when tired" zen thing. It's worked okay so far, but since I'm in class all day "eating" tends to be some grapes while sitting in music history class. Speaking of... my stomach is literally twitching right now.
2. I really love teaching and service. If I can't find a teaching job after graduating, I am considering doing Americorps or Teach For America. I fell in love with working with Promise Neighborhood. I feel it's what I'm called to do.
3. I wish I could dress like a hipster and not be judged. Lol. Though I am not a hipster I do like the fashion.
4. Speaking of fashion, with my next paycheck I am going to buy another pair of Toms shoes.
5. I hate to say it... but I have come to enjoy macs and a part of me really wishes my parents had bought me a macbook pro!
6. I am a hopeless romantic who is a teensy bit existential and idealist and loves good literature, movies and poetry. Not to mention a glass of wine along with those.
7. If you tell me to read something or watch something, I will. My teachers are continually surprised because I'll come back to class having read a book they briefly mentioned. Happens with Dr. w all the time.
8. I enjoy the outdoors, camping and fishing and all that jazz and think I can hold my own when it comes to those things. However, I consider myself a city girl.
9. My "favorites" like food, color, movie or book, change with whatever I'm doing. If I'm reading an especially good book, that's my favorite at the time. That isn't to say I don't have preferences or books and movies I'll experience over and over again. Jeesh, I've probably read Matilda about 50 times.
10. I'm thinking about getting a tattoo.
