One for the refrigerator:
I scribbled this down for my weekly lecture/reading recap journal for one of my classes today:
Monday’s lecture was titled “Declarations and Dreams” and was a brief overview of the historical origins of the American Dream by Dr. Kerry Irish. Dr. Irish spoke of the Puritans in a very positive light. Overall I thought the presentation was very well executed and efficient (400...

this is why I don't have time for you
My life currently revolves around music (insane Baroque cantatas, glorious opera arias, and luxuriantly strange 20th century art songs, to be precise), books on world religions and agrarian philosophy and poetry and the future of the American Dream, and delicious caffeinated beverages.

Dear Tumblr,
I love you, but I need some space and time away from this relationship to get my life in order and my thoughts sorted out. I promise I’ll be back soon.
XOXO,

In case you were wondering,
yes, my week did get more awkward, and yes, I died.
This blog is now run by zombies.
shesherealready:
you don’t have to know what you’re feeling all the time to be okay. sometimes all you need is to have the smell of your home left on your giant, stupid robe. a good long cry in the shower. sad music. and tea in your favorite mug.
This. Right now.

If my week gets any more awkward than this, I...
co-worker: I would like a book to read. Do you have one I can borrow? me: Sure! I’ll bring something tomorrow. NEXT DAY me: I brought two books, and you can choose one. Do you want the novel, or the short story collection? co-worker: Let me see. *reads back covers, flips through books* These are not my type of books. I don’t want to borrow a book that will be boring. me: Oh, well...

Maybe I'm missing something here...
But I am a bit confused/disgusted when seemingly intelligent, confident women insult men by calling them “vaginas.” Ooh, burn! Weakness/sensitivity = femininity/lack of dangly parts. Nothing can be more degrading than being female, right?
Is that really the best you can do? My inner response to these types of insults will invariably be “Ohhhhh sweetie, someone has some...

My letters!
Lately I have been feeling stale & unmotivated in the practice-singing-every-day-because-you-have-a-lot-of-advanced-rep-for-your-recital-in-9-weeks department. So I put on a cute outfit, packed up my laptop and notebooks and headphones and sticky notes and pens (get the picture yet?), plunked down at my favorite coffee shop, and spent an hour typing up all my song translations and editing my...

Oh, and speaking of caring about people...
and me being an idiot as usual…
One of my co-workers is particularly intriguing to me and difficult to read. We talk about interesting stuff when we get the chance to chit-chat, but that doesn’t happen very often and I am too much of a chicken to ask him out for coffee and a real conversation. This translates to me generally saying and doing goofy things that he may or may not laugh...
