I turn 22 in five minutes. I think I might celebrate by dancing in the kitchen. Excuse me a moment!

Dear Everyone,
Tonight a house full of people I like sang Happy Birthday in my general direction. At that moment, I couldn’t believe that many people had come together in one place to celebrate three birthdays. I haven’t felt liked this much since the third grade when Lauren told me I was her best friend. I’m really grateful that I have friends that like me enough to spend...

Dear Wet Falling From Sky,
This is really unacceptable. I have a lot to do today and you are making the battle against staying in pajamas all day really difficult. I would sincerely appreciate it if you stopped for about two hours and allowed me to buy books, check mail and get my readings. Just a suggestion. Or perhaps only rain on the parts of campus I won’t be walking through?

I am starting to have
very strong feelings about my decision to take a 10:30 class twice a week. What was I thinking? This class better be made of pure, untainted awesome.
I will report completely on this matter when I return tonight.
Also, the Literature of Friendship looks like it’s going to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Just sayin’.
Off I go! I hope everyone has a great Thursday full...

I have been and always will be your friend. I still grow older with you, and my mind opens and my heart deepens, and no matter how muddy it may seem, everything is so much clearer than before. l like to think about how we both know that life can be a really beautiful thing.
today I hope realized something you didn’t know yesterday but remembered all the moments leading up to this...

“Hey, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately—why people send postcards to each other—and I’ve come up with the only three reasons I could: to send someone a pretty picture of where you are (mostly for relatives); to briefly ressaure someone of your love (children, spouses); and to contact someone with whom you’ve fallen out of touch (this one is for you and me); I’ll call you...

Tonight I
seem to have trouble falling asleep. So I decided to look through my bookmarks.
Yes. I collect bookmarks. No need to say it, I already know.
Anyway, I keep them all neatly together in a little bag thing I got when I was six. Instead of going through each one, I just dumped the whole damp thing on my bed and searched around for my favorite ones. As I went through each one, I remembered...

Dear Stapler,
I know you are in love with me and just honestly wanted to get close. But baby, love hurts. It hurts almost as much as when you accidentally stapled my finger this afternoon. I don’t think I’m ready for this kind of commitment. I’d just like to be friends.
Love,
Danielle

Dear Lady Who Just Cut My Hair,
I have yet to find someone who can cut my bangs the way I like them. However, you have come the closest. And so, it has been decided that when I take over the world, you will be my private hair cut lady. May rainbows and tiny unicorns come out of your magical hair straightener of doom.
Love,

Today at Work
a woman brought her sobbing son to the desk while I was working on the craft for my next storytime. He was clutching a book to his desk, and weeping like someone had punched him in the mouth. Finally, she shoved him foreward and demanded he tell me what he did. With a very loud and wet sniffle, he wailed, “I ATE THE BOOK!”
Well…I wasn’t expecting that. Completely...

Doctor Who season four in the mail! Eeeeeee! So excited! Guess which house will be partying with Donna Noble this semesteerrr!

What's this? You all want to hear about my dream?
Okay, okay, I’ll tell you. But only because I love you.
So in my dream Vassar was holding a prom. However, they only invited people from my high school. I decided to wear my new dress, but I had to pick up a package first, so instead of getting dresed I went to the college center in my jeans. Well, guess where the prom was being held! That’s right! The post office. Everyone was...

lol I love Bonobos. Never knew that they were this capable @ understanding human speech / interactions.
I wish I had a Bonobo for a friend. They seem like they’d be so much fun to hang out with.

The silences slither between us, ripping the sound from our breath—it forms a rift—you’re far, I’m distant, we’re no longer together, we don’t need to be, there’s nothing left to say and no way to say it.

Dear Giant Hole in the Street that Almost Ate My Car,
YOUR MOTHER!
Love,
The wide-eyed owner of the black car.
Take THAT, 2010!
First of all, I keep writing 200 as if I am about to add a 9 at the end…and then I quickly add a one between the two zeros as if I knew it belonged there the whole time. I’m smooth. Four parents called me out on it. I am ashamed.

I finally got that dress! And those who told me to go for red…I totally did. I am very much content with my purchase and will wear it soon. Yay!

This was fun, so thought I would try it myself.
I got a letter
from one of my students today. I haven’t been filled with this much excitement since I was eight and it was Christmas time.
I don’t even know why I am writing about this because I have no idea which words to use to express how happy hearing from him made me. There is just something about being special enough that a ten year old child takes his time to write a letter and remind you...
Today I
was driving a friend somewhere, and I was looking around for signs telling me where it was. All of a sudden, I say a sign that said “NINJA” and right under it was an arrow pointing to the right. I will take a picture of the ninja sign soon.

I want to write a story

but English majors are only allowed to write about other people’s stories.
I’m an English major that writes stories. I just don’t do any of my homework. It’s quite fun, actually.

Dream time!
Last night I had a dream where I was sailing on my bed somewhere around Vassar. I was decorating my walls with posters when suddenly Eleanor Roosevelt comes over and asks me to be her friend. Of course, I said yes, and we spent the rest of the trip gossiping like twelve year olds.
For the first dream of 2010, I think I like this dream very much.
