Runny Feet, Nose

If you use the word BLOG as a sound effect, thats how I feel today… although still altogether better from Saturday.
But as I sit here all runny, in my running shorts&running shoes, with a runny nose, I CAN RUN…
and there are some guests on Oprah today who can’t run.  Even if they wanted to.
I’m lucky [...]

I’m Chewed Gum.

Today began beautifully, woke up at 7:30 (naturally) and went on a run.  Worked all day, got home at 7:30 and I feel horrible.  I mean, I really feel terrible.  My throat hurts badly… my whole body aches so badly, I feel like I am a chewed piece of gum stuck to a bicycle wheel [...]

Goodbye Teenager

I turn 20 years-young tomorrow and I’m stoked on it.  Why am I excited?  Because I love words; I love the sound of them, their dictionary definition, their street definition and their positive/negative connotations.  
The fact of the matter is, “I am 20″  sounds much, much better than, “I’m 19.”  
Nineteen??  Twenty.  Nineteen?  No, TWENTY.

Good Things

Molly just left, I wanted her to stay but sometimes you don’t get enough of a good thing.
Last night the girls surprised me with a 2 hour soak in the hot springs!  It was so amazing, especially after the weekend.  The sky was clear and the air was cold, but that hot spring was hot [...]

Hey!

You there!  I’m the most excited girl ever and I don’t care who knows it!!  
I tried to vent my excitement using my cardiovascular stamina and 5 miles of pavement– it sort of worked, but every time I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirrored window of a business I thought “Damn!  I look fiiiine [...]

Mustache Love

To get to my family reunion I took the midnight bus from SLO to San Francisco on Thursday night, which arrived 45 minutes early at 4:45 am. There I was on the Embarcadero & Mission in the dimly lit, foggy morning, click-clackin’ my rolly suitcase down the street serving as a vulnerable, human alarm [...]

Boogers And Midnight Buses

Tomorrow, I’m. Going. Hooome.
I have school from 9-9 and then I’m catching the 12:10 am bus to arrive in SF at 5:30 in the morning. I’m sure I’ll sleep the whole bus ride, without taking bong hits, due to my very long, very physically demanding Thursday (I joked to my dad that the bus [...]
