Why can't I keep my car clean ... or a beat?

• Every day, I pick up my 15-year-old sister from high school.
• Every day, I get there a few minutes early (so I can avoid the high school drivers).
• Every day, I watch the high schoolers flood from the building at 3:15 (and 30 seconds).

I watch them as they run to "their" cars, as they get in, turn up the music (as loud as it could possibly go) and speed away. Every time I see them I just notice how awesome they think they are. They smoke their cigarettes, they smile and wave at their friends as they drive past them. Some of them look so concentrated on where they're going, they're not even taking in the moment. I'm sure whatever is going on in their life is uber important (not), but why can't they just take it in? Why are we so incapable of realizing what we have before it is gone?

Sometimes, I think this way too. Sometimes, I think the world revolves around me. Sometimes, I catch myself walking around campus with my friends, assuming everyone wonders about us — assuming everyone cares about our story.
Why are we giggling? Where are we going? How do we know each other?

Why do we we feel so big, when really, we're so small?

We all do it. We all assume people care about us.
Actually, some of us assume no one cares about us.
Which is worse?
I'm not sure.

"R" for ridiculous

There are several things about my life which would probably be considered insane (ridiculous) by most people. For instance I am absolutely obsessed with my best friends. Not just in the I-really-love-them-and-want-to-spend-all-kinds-of-time-with-them way, but in the I-can't-go-24-hours-before-I-start-missing-their-faces way and the I-spend-all-day-every-day-talking-to-them way.

(this is us ash, kb, me and court)

Also, I really like comic book movies.

• Spider man (all of them)
• Batman (I really like the new ones because they're so dark and kind of scary)
• x-men (that's right. I said it. Judge me.)
• I like all kinds of others, but I'm sick of this list
  

Other things - I L-O-V-E hats. So many hats!
Crazy hats. :)

More other things - I love silly teen-type books. Georgia Nicholson is a hysterical crazy British teenager who is very self centered, but also hilarious. The 10th and final book is coming out very soon. I'm so obsessed with it, I have ordered three copies of the movie, which was NOT released in the US. amazon.co.uk - my new favorite site! :)


More, more, more - I think Laffy Taffy jokes are the best :)

We're almost to the end - For as much as I love the English language, I am a terrible speller. As a journalist/English student I have a lot of friends who LOVE to play games like Scrabble. But, I usually avoid it because of my inability to correctly spell cool words!
