things. but not 25. that's a lot of things. some might say too many.

1. sometimes when i mouth lyrics to songs you can hear me sort of actually singing with it.
2. i think drinking a glass or two of wine at home alone is standard.
3. i have five pillows, but i dont use them when i sleep, save for one, which i put over my head.
4. my over head light went out last week and i have no way to change it because my ceilings are very high, and i am very short.
5. a good friend's mom once approached me asking if i was still eating. that was weird because i've always been about the same size.
6. losing jewelry kills me. i hate it. no one likes it. but i still think about the earring i lost at camp birch knoll — the one that fell out when i was playing my tennis racket like a guitar to a matchbox 20 tune in the summer of 1997.
7. it took me 19 years to get macked on. but i was still a teenager, so whew.
8. i've been reading atlas shrugged since august. and im ashamed to say i haven't finished it yet. ugh.
9. i stole a necklace from Joy Time, my preschool, on accident, but kept it because i didn't know how to explain it was just an accident. since no one noticed, i figured i could get away with it. my thievery lives on, though, as in my preschool pictures, im sporting that very necklace.
10. periodically i will say things like, "isn't it great that we can do whatever we want?" and people don't get it. but we really can. i mean, there are consequences, or whatever, but if i want to i can do it.

scratch that. real guilty pleasures. not even guilty.

guilty pleasure.

katy perry. "You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong"

shrugging.

"Later, when they told her that Ellis Wyatt had vanished, leaving nothing behind but a board he had nailed to a post at the foot of the hill, when she looked at his handwriting on the board, she felt as if she had almost known that these would be the words:

'I am leaving it as I found it. Take over. It's yours.'"

"Cartoon Music For Superheroes." -Albert Hammond, Jr.

"'Goodnight,' I said to you, 'Goodnight'
Dream of all the impossible

And when wake you'll see
That all these dreams aren't fake
They're real
Not impossible

Believe you'll be alright
Sad things you keep inside
So go, tell me whats it's like
Tell me what you like about when you dream"

tune in

sometimes a good instrumental is all i need.

-albert hammond, jr. "spooky couch"
