I Do Declare

Honest to God, when I signed in today and wordpress told me, “Welcome Back”, I said, out loud, in a sort of surprised, very grateful tone: “Thank you!”

Well, I’m tired.  And these days, surrounded by the dicks that I am, it doesn’t take much to really impress me with politeness.

The Freakin’ Weekend

Just a little rundown:

• tequila shots and ‘Hey Juliet’ in my room
• screaming crying fight on the front lawn of some off-campus house
• cop pulling up in the middle of said fight, asking if we were okay
• passing my sister and her fiance on the road, waving and flashing lights
• spontaneous trip home for less than 24 hours that only a select few knew about
• getting on the highway with ‘I can see clearly now, the rain is gone’ playing, and driving until I was home and happy
• surprising Claire on the elevator
• picking up liquor from behind a tree at the back of the Meijers’ parking lot
• whispering in Claire’s ear about the boys I like
• ‘Rick Roll’ on my knuckles, ’signed sealed delivered’ on the inside of my arm, and ‘i got my mind set on you’ on the outside
• early morning drive home
• lazy Sunday

 

You Guys:

I am so excited for Center Stage 2.  No, for real.

No, no.  For real.

Hello My Darlin’

Tonight I got a text from a boy that I met last night that read: “Hey gorgeous how ru doin tonite”.  Ignoring all the egregious spelling and grammatical issues therein, I wanted to slap him immediately for assuming he could call me gorgeous just like that.  Um, no, we are not doing this.  God, it was like worst song, played on ugliest guitar.

On a completely unrelated note, I learned a new word today: verisimilitude.  That’s a $1.00 word right there, as my old Psych teacher would say.

Just A Moment Or Two From Now

I finished up washing my hands at the last sink, the one I always gravitate toward, tossed the paper towel, and glanced out the window.  My stomach fell and my head just went absolutely dizzy, something I think always happens, something I think I always just ignore.  But not this time.  I took a minute to let myself just look, and immediately wanted to just burst into tears.  My eyes were drawn immediately to the semis, way out, running parallel to me; unquestionably, 75.  That’s exactly where I want to be at this moment, sun setting, windy, beautiful day.  I want to be flying down the highway, headed toward the people I love.  I want so badly to be gone.
