Blog 2010.
This year, I think, I’ve changed the most. Or that I’ve noticed the change happening. Or the most change in my life has happened. Suddenly, I’m the one making conversations appear out of thin air while I’m talking to someone quiet and a little awkward, instead of being the quiet awkward one. I’ve learned that at the very core I will become disgustingly unselfish, and...

"Meanwhile the sunsets are mad orange fools raging...
I went to a bookstore today, browsed the books slowly, carefully, like people who are alone but at this moment not terribly lonely and are in fact enjoying the freedom of looking through each book, no clocks or people ticking behind in their mind. I told myself, “Now listen here, one book, that’s all, and a cheap one too, you’ve got no money for friends, so no money for...

Today was Winter.
Today was the day after the blizzard. It was blistering bright with the sun making up for hiding so long. It was waking up like you’re still five and jumping out of bed, nose pressed against the glass as your breath fogs the view up because you know it’s going to be a good day. I suited up, you know, three sweaters, leggings under jeans under hiking socks under snow boots, coat, scarf...

Watch Up to cheer you up
Forget that the first ten minutes is like someone ripping out your heart, stomping on it, making it watch Justin Beiber perform, and then stomping on it again.

Snow Miser/Heat Miser- The Year Without a Santa...

“I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others - the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad.”
Everything Is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer.

Last night a man gave part of his McDonald’s double cheeseburger to me and my friend on the subway at 3:30 am. Sometimes I love New York. It was the best tasting fast food burger I’ve ever had.

Might be pregnant
I bought a tub of chocolate icing before work yesterday and ate spoonfuls of it, and then teared up when the hawaiian dude’s ukulele version of over the rainbow come on the radio, and decided to make popcorn at 11:30 after work instead of making dinner. And now I’m eating icing again and I can’t stop.

Text Conversations with only Avett Brothers...
Dana: because mah mah mah hearts like a kick drum. and I and love and you. Ps. January is coming up. Let's get married
Me: I would be sad if we did not have a january wedding. if we do I would be swept away. Can we have it at the beach? It would be the perfect space.
Dana: That sounds wonderful, and since I am a breathing time machine we could relive the moment forever... it would go on and on. Now I'm ill with want.
Me: I'm incomplete and insecure without you. Will you return, pretty girl from cedar lane?
Dana: Of course because there was a dream of you and me and one day I could see it. When I'm with you there's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light.

Indian Fairy Godmother
At work on Friday a middle aged Indian man approached me after I had just directed a customer to the bathrooms. In a thick Indian accent he asked for my name.
“Uhhhh, Colleen,” I said, freaking the fuck out because when customers ask for your name 99.99999% of the time they are pissed off at you.
“And how old are you?”
“Um, 18?”
He looked somewhat surprised...

Instead of writing it I’m leaving 4 minute long facebook videos on my friends wall of me reading nylon and listening to bright eyes.

First impression of my new job
Reasons why I like work:
My section, children’s toys, has it’s own stock room far away from where anybody is and a radio which means I get to blast Christmas music and sing a long while putting toys away and nobody can judge me
There’s always usually something to do so it goes by fast and it’s not hard
I get to handle all the chemistry sets and space globe things and...
My friend said he was watching 30 Rock and how...
Oh fuck yes.

Rest in Peace Elizabeth Edwards
She always seemed to me like a strong, wonderful person, with some amazing ideas. I have nothing but respect and awe at her, her ideas, and her battle with cancer.
“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something...
