Something I Wrote for a Friend...

My Prophecy:

You are going to leave. I will proceed through life, get married, have children.

One day, I will open the mailbox and find a tattered letter. It will smell like salt and sweat, which will be an oddly refreshing contrast to the honeysuckles in my front yard. There will be no return address. And it won’t be signed. I will know it’s from you. I will receive these letters like clockwork, well in the sense that I will expect them at certain times. But instead, as if I forgot why the dates were important, I will receive them on days that have no holiday. On days in which I yell too loud at my kids, or almost quit my job. Of course they weren’t sent with any foresight, but I will pretend as if they were. I will cry every time I read them, not out of regret, or sadness, but out of a sheer longing to just talk to you. Your letters will just be a collection of words wrought from your memory of when we were closer. I will never try and track you down.

It turns out you are some sad, disgustingly romantic, utterly sick fuck who lives in a lighthouse with the only thing that got better with age. Your memory. So, I haunt you daily.

Food Rules!

In case you weren't aware the year began! Welcome to 2010!

Of course everyone has their New Year's resolutions to follow and mine are pretty simple:

• Become better at thinking ahead (in general this is a good idea, for me, because 2009 had a lot of issues revolving around not planning ahead)
• Change my pillow cases every 2 weeks (Simply put my skin can act up and this will help with that, and why not do something proactive?)
• Brush my Skin (Okay this might sound just plain weird, but I once read that beauty queens do this to keep their skin healthy looking. I decided to try it for a little a few years back and I could see a difference immediately! I just never kept it up.)
• Lastly, Use the rules I have for my skin on what I eat.

This last rule is based on the fact that I work at a cosmetics store entirely based on being natural. So I thought to myself maybe I should treat my body the same way I treat my skin. I bought the book Food Rules by Micheal Pollan. This book is awesome and has great rules to follow, all based on common sense. Interestingly enough this book makes me proud of what I purchase at the grocery store, and save a lot of money. Here's to healthy eating!

Lesson Learned

I am exhausted.  Physically, mentally, emotionally, etc.  It is Finals week, and although I only have three to prepare for, the studying is enough to cover five.

The most exhausted part though is to think of my break coming up.  I don't have a chance to ever just relax over my my breaks.  Now that everyone lives in a different house or state, I find myself constantly thinking about the next step in who I will be visiting next.  I am never able to unpack my things.  Worst of all it reminds me of the summer, where I never felt like I belonged anywhere.  Over Thanksgiving break I just wanted to get back to my apartment in Morgantown. 

Ugh.

Chasing Pavements

Thanks to a recent Washington Post Article, I can turn any of my favorite blogs into a Wordle! Clouds of the most used words in a certain body of text...or in this case my blog all together! Looks like I need to start blogging about new things!

Love Potion #9

I never think of public transportation as a chore. The metro isn't that bad and I enjoy being able to navigate through it easily. The buses here are quite nice, very clean, and overly air conditioned. What more could a girl ask for? Usually I simply read a book while I am riding, but my latest book -being written as a steady stream of consciousness- has been difficult to get into. So I have been resorting to my ipod. I listen to it with noise silencing ear phones.

I believe noise silencing ear phones are one of the seven wonders of the world -or eight? I can't hear ANYTHING except the sound of music. The regular bustling in the streets and stuffed metro trains are muted and I am happily transported to a movie about me, which has a fantastic soundtrack...if I do say so myself. My only problem is my odd paranoia that kept me from using my ipod in the first place.

I always have this fear that someone is going to yell out my name, tell me to duck, or dodge a bullet. I will be stuck in my little world totally oblivious to the fact that my impending death is coming from behind during the second verse of "Nessun Dorma". (I've always been the dramatic type) Even visions of me being attacked while dancing happily or even strutting to songs have come to me. Luckily I have found solutions to this:

*Make sure to always have my back to against walls, sliding against them will help
*Stay away from everyone at all costs. That means no small talk, direction giving, eye contact, and/or polite smiling is allowed.
*Go up down escalators and down up escalators, that way killers will be confused
*Run at all costs at all times when not sitting down.
*Never sit down, that's vulnerable
*Also run backwards so you can keep your eyes on people.

Public transportation will be safe! I might look like a victim of M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie The Happening, but hey at least I won't be interrupted! ...
