musings & mnmlism

i met this kid last night who’s only two years older than i am, sophomore, and he cares about the things i care about. 

and then there’s people like maleesa, who makes me laugh whenever we hang out [about once a year so far.]

maybe there’ll be more people like that when i get there. people who are passionate about God. passionate about justice. passionate about love. passionate about book clubs. and who are fun to boot.

yeah. i should have listened to you, nate tilton. skipping college was always a bad idea.  

i’m going to have to be that mean lifeguard at olive grove who says: no chicken fights.

even though i love chicken fights.
 

will see Arshlet and Dashua. man oh man.

!!!!!!!!!!

i will either be posting a lot of happy pictures, or i’ll just be chilling with them.
so that’s why either way (:

peace, bubbles, and love sweet ones.

so, i’ve promised about 75% of you readers a lengthy post on the Hunger Games. at long last….

well. sorry, actually, i still haven’t merged all my thoughts and quotes into a presentable piece. keep hoping! (: here’s what i do have to offer: a few of the questions our literary society will discuss this tuesday.

the first time you wear eyeliner to youth group he comes up to you and says, “your eyes! they’re like BAM.” and then covers them with his hands and says. “that’s better. you’ve got like stuff on them…are you wearing MAKEUP?” and yes, i have worn makeup since i met you, silly boy. just not eyeliner. 

or like when he dares you to eat a handful of lettuce and laughs at you. or when he asks the truth or dare question for you when you’re getting tired of coming up with ‘em. 

or when you have a discussion about whether you can be bros, or if that’s only guys. but we can’t both be wingmen, either. so it turns out he can be my bro but i can only be his wingman. that works. 

i’m gonna miss you, kid. thanks for trying out the bowtie for me. 

remember halil? and he had his motivational tapes?
i think college mail is about the same equivalent. lots of compliments that don’t necessarily fit you.

but you know. it’s gotta make your day a li’l brighter when a school says, “We see a great deal of potential in you, Sarah, the kind that can possibly do great things with the right career. ” 

i am a skilled metalworker? i did not know that! 

you know it’s the end of the school year when you fix a crazy computer problem that involves four restarts and two operating systems, and you can do it in about ten minutes because you’re a nerd, and then draw a picture of a nerd to show you mom what you are, and then add a v-neck and say: that’s what she does to try to be cool and fails. 

yeah. and then you eat three amazing cookies to make up for it. and wait for the next time you can blow bubbles in public. [hopefully tomorrow.] 

i’ve got a bunch of posts i need to write up or post. await them. but patiently. a few of them are a multum in parvo. which is a new phrase i’m irrationally fond of. 

peace, bubbles & love, sweet ones. 

[i may or may not have the SAT and the AP Lang & Comp Exam in the next 24 hours and 10 days.] 

anyhow - these made me laugh: 

act naturally, random order, original copy, conspicuous absence, found missing, alone together, criminal justice, old news, peace force, even odds, awful good, student teacher, deafening silence, definite possibility, definite maybe, terribly pleased, ill health, turn up missing, jumbo shrimp, loose tights, small crowd, and clearly misunderstood.  [from this site]
