Unplugging, Not For Long Enough.

I just arrived at my Grandma’s house in Trinidad, California a few hours ago from cross country camp. Camp was right on the Eel River, off the Avenue of the Giants in Burlington Campground. I’m so glad I went! Even for the short time that I did. It was awesome to see [...]

So I Guess I’m Still A Little Girl.

 

 

McKenna just called me and I broke down into tears even before I answered the phone.  I remember feeling the same way in elementary school when my mom picked me up after I’d had a rough day of cooties and tattle-tails; as soon as I’d see the comfort of her car my lip would quiver, my [...]

Last One, For The Road

 
 
 
 
 
 
I take the train home today… I’ll be home for a few days before I head to Northern California for the SRHS running camp.  I’m excited to see everyone, I think I’ll stay for a night or two and then go further north to visit my Grandma.  I can’t wait to see her, and relax [...]

Love Is A Hot Shower Where Your Skin Never Prunes

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I snuck to 3rd row and nearly got kicked out at least 4 times.  I danced with strangers, security guards, on chairs, made lots of friends and had an all around amazing time  AMAZING!!!!
 
He closed the show with Gravity… ahhhhhhhhh.

 
 

Burnin’ Bright Like Neon

I feel overwhelmed with material & the sustenance that complicates life– I don’t know really where to begin.  For starters, I found some saved drafts on my blog from the past 2 weeks that were never published… pathetic, really: 
“It’s Thursday afternoon and I’m sitting here…”

“I can’t remember the last time I went this long without [...]

It’s been a long time since I last wrote.  I don’t quite know why… I could say that I’ve been busy, but I’m always busy, I should make time to write… I normally have an urge to post! Just not recently I guess.  I feel very happy, nothing is really the matter–perhaps I’m distracted by [...]

Not-So-Modest…

John,
 
Since brevity is the soul of wit, I’ll try to keep my silly fan letter brief.  Avoiding the incessant, cliche expressions of fanaticism, I simply want to convey my gratitude.  I say “simply” although, really, I don’t find it in the least bit simple.  
 
When I was a little girl, jazz and blues music fit [...]

So Hot I’m Cold

Titled as such because I have a terrible sunburn.
I’m excited about lots of things right now.  Firstly, my new, huge Obama HOPE poster.  Amy got it for me and in all honesty it’s probably one of the coolest things that I own.  The weirdest thing will be if/when he gets elected because then I’ll have a [...]

These Sounds Make Me Want To Be Naked

Inspiration FOUND. Of course, found it in John Mayer.
I’m going to type for a minute non-stop, and I’m not going to edit this until the end because I just need to write. 
Pardon while i go off on a slightly sexual tangent about the slow blues…
Listening to John Mayer is like sex! His new live album [...]
