    • get lost

      • castles, mice, rats, princesses

        perks [since you're feeling lazy] :
        1. good and evil/right and wrong is spelled out for you
        2. the print is heavily spaced with large font
        3.there are pictures.

        it has chapters and is thick so it might pass as an adult read if one doesn't recognize the title.

        if children's literature is not your thing... i'd recommend:

        interpreter of maladies by jhumpa lahiri
        or
        timequake by vonnegut

        both very, very good.

    • mm.

      • spaghetti and/or 'broke' lasagna

        ingredients:

        prego

        and if it's financially feasible: grated cheese. any sort, really. swiss is pretty good, so is colby.

        mix it together with any pasta of your choice! depending on the amount of sauce or cheese it really takes on many different kinds of meals.

        and, yes, i still eat and crave it sometimes.

    • my 15 min.

      • a few things i'm known for as of now... i think my fame is still to come:


        well, i enlisted the help of mpg to help me answer this one- the man who knows me the best. here are a few things that stood out to him (other peoples' opinions are always more interesting and maybe accurate):

        -eej dancing. this movement entails putting your hands in the air and shaking around any ol' way you chose.

        -being balls out (figuratively of course) when there is fun happening. the last time there was fun to be had, i ended up climbing over a chain link fence at a public park at 2 in the morning trying to retrieve a lost frisbee. my foot got stuck- i fell- i cut up my leg- i kept playing. we did have a few glasses of wine...

        -putting white wine in my nalgene on certain occasions.

        - finally, which probably sums up all of these bullets above, i am always down. meaning: i rarely say 'no' to anything. i've had a lot of adventures this way, and a few mishaps along the way, but i never turn down an invitation. particularly to travel. i have a lot of stories, a lot of things to look back on and share and lots of things i have yet to do and places to go. so, i guess, i could squeeze a lot of adventures in, in 15 minutes. yep, that's all i've got.

    • ok ok ok

      • is there really a good, or even an ok, breakup? maybe, but i would hazard to guess they are few and far between. it takes two emotionally mature and decent people, i think...

        let's see.. up until i was 20 i broke it off with every guy i dated. i severed the ties usually by simply giving them the cold shoulder. you know, the ignoring of calls, avoiding his neighborhood, etc.. and while i do suffer from the seattle freeze-- where passive behavior is notorious among seattle-ites-- i still probably should have at least called them and laid it down... i did email once, which probably was better than nothing, but still.

        all of this came back to bite me. i had been seeing this guy for several years, we were practically living together. i left to study in ireland for five months and while i was abroad he decided to see other people without letting me know. ok, so fine, he cheated, but instead of calling me, writing me, texting me (anything) he waited until he picked me up at the airport to say that he just wanted to be friends and then deposited me, a weeping angry mess, on my parents doorstep. here i am pining away for him while i could have been having a blast single and in another country. while i sort of appreciate that he waited to tell me in person, considering the distance and the lies he kept up with for three months he should have done us both a favor and bought a calling card and given me a heads up. period.

        but, you know, all of these breakups have taught me how to treat people, especially people that i love and care about. for that, i am thankful.
