Never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I cry good tears a lot these days and I like it.

I survived the last two weeks; today I watched Steel Magnolias in my bed to celebrate.

I don't want the mediocrity of life to overcome the glory I experienced on Friday, but suddenly I'm faced with another week of school ahead.

So, somehow I slept 22 hours this weekend (I'm chalking it up to my complete lack of sleep all week in anticipation of Anthony Doerr).

Today I spent all day with my writing idol (I really need to come up with a new phrase--it sounds too obsessed and too inaccurate and to Justin Beibery) and I have never been happier or more in awe in my life.

As of today, I have been hanging around this world for a quarter of a century, and you know, it's not half bad. =)

Sometimes I camp out in the same armchair in the library so long that when I walk up the stone steps to finally leave my calves cramp.

I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough, I am enough.

So, after subbing three different classes today, I think I can safely say I don't get nervous in classes when I am the teacher, only when I am a student.

Well, Mormons (ones I see almost daily, professionally and as friends) read about my sins today (and then critiqued it all) (and I will continue to see them daily for a long time).

Every time I crave a hamburger, it's because I haven't eaten one in months, and every time I haven't eaten one in months it's because every time I eat one I get intensely sick (so good call on making today one of those reminder days...).

I've realized that when I express my frustration/anger/concerns/negativity/overwhelmedness/complaints/what have you to someone else, I will feel heard and understood and empathized with, but it comes at a huge cost: the black moths of discontent embedded in me flutter from my chest and over to lodge themselves inside my listener . . . and there is still a limit to my happiness when the people that matter most to me are then unhappy because they've offered to share my unhappiness.

If you never push through obstacles and instead take your insecurities as truth, you'll never feel this kind of on top of the wooooooorld!

Murphy's Law says it is my (sarcastic, blunt, impatient) little brother who will be the one to go on a date with a girl who says (while watching Les Mis, and in response to his "Wow--I didn't know Wolverine could sing"): "I don't know who Wolverine is; I've never seen Batman."

Sleeping in public is a sort of shame that can only be overcome by repeated practice.

On this, the first day of the Month of Love, my sentence to you is a challenge: Every day, act in Love--to those you love and those you will yet love.

The bruise I'm tending on my right flank is now flowering into the shape of a smeared blue, blackened bow, a reminder of what a gift the slick stone stairs can be.
