ok but really though.

if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it.

Am I my brothers keeper?

I just finished East of Eden. I'm sad it's over. I smell a tattoo coming in on my ribs.

"Let's get it over and the door closed shut on it! Let's close it like a book and go on reading! New chapter, new life. A man will have clean hands once we get the lid slammed shut on that stinking century. Oh, but strawberries will never taste so good again and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!"

the economy is killing us.

this is unbelievably sad.

thou mayest.
maybe two of the most important words in history. figure it out.
life right now is insane, as usual.
sorry for being a bad friend - i have no working phone (for the next week)
and i've been laying low. mostly just reading though.
keeping my nose in a book has always kept me out of trouble.
i'll be 22 in about a month and by then, my life should
be completely back on track with school and work.
i'm soaking up my last days on winter break
but i'm anxious to get back to school.

do you want to see the world?

Paper dreams, hoooney. . .

state of mind(s)

camus said, "thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky."

reading the plague was interesting. very quotable, as a friend recently described it. true. i love what existentialism represents - pushing for the individual to create his own reality and meaning in his life, complete responsibility of their existence. maybe that wasn't a great explanation, i'm not good with words. look it up for yourself, expand your mind. idk, i don't like talking about this subject matter for fear of sounding like i don't know what i am talking about... even though i do. i can't convert the thoughts into words well. whatever, this is for me, not you.

but this is for y o u: lets start a book club! but if you suggest something unintelligent or elementary i'm kicking you the fuck out. k? so, no twighlight books or secret life of bees or basically, anything from oprahs book club (the time travellers wife is exempt because that novel was amazing). oh! and no palahniuk. but, hm, murakami is okay.

mas o menos.

So. Living with my little cousins has been interesting. I basically live in Carson too which is closer to everything I care about, including (in no particular order) friends, school, and work.

When we mean soft things?

We should be whispering all the time.

much has changed around me, but i'm still the same girl.
