Solitary Island

My granma, amazing lady that she is, sent me the graduation announcement that was in the paper for the class of 2008. The one with everyone’s photos. She sent it in a manilla envelope, an envelope I had been looking forward to getting.
A few days ago I threw it away, unopened.
I don’t need to look [...]

Words I Love

Quotes. In my mind they all hover around the same thing, but I’m not sure anyone else would get that.
The word friends doesn’t seem to stretch big enough to describe how we feel about each other. We forget where one of us starts and the other one stops. –The Second Summer of the Sisterhood
“People find [...]

Cryptic Wishes

I just killed a spider with my copy of The Princess Bride.
So.
I wish I didn’t feel awkward so easily.
I wish I knew if other people felt the same.
I wish I knew if what I think is the reason is actually the reason or if I’m just paranoid and weird.
I hope I don’t make my friend [...]

Crazy Motherlady

Hello friendlies. So I started to have this post be about Ockham’s Razor, but then I didn’t know where I was going with that so I gave up on it. I do like Ockham’s Razor though. Not as a scientific thing, but just generally in life I like the theory that the simplest answer could [...]

Girl Group Myth

So hey there. 
Confession: I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT TODAY.
I mean, I considered telling you all about the conversation that I wasn’t really sure if I should be a part of or not, so I wasn’t. But really, without details it’s pretty boring and with details it’s pretty personal. Oh, and it’s [...]

The One About Michelle

This will probably be a more severe “friendship” post than some of the others. But it’s about Michelle, so that’s why.
Michelle is my cousin, she lives 3,000 miles away, and we’ve been emailing since I was twelve. Or thirteen. Unlike my other cousins, we never had any family legends to talk about or pictures to reminisce [...]

The Story of Ash

Today was one of those good days that is just good. And I have too much in my head to write it all down, too many possibilities for posts. So instead of boring you with the details of my day (meeting, lunch, work), I’ve decided I’m just going to start my series of posts about [...]

Stuck in Second

I am always second place, always almost good enough, always the leftover.
Seventh grade, science class. It was the honors class so a good portion of my friends were in the class. And while I wasn’t Miss Popularity, I was never Miss Unpopular either; I had more than enough friends, really I did. And because of [...]

A Hundred Happies

Another Project Self post.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, to make a list of one hundred things that make me happy, and I encourage you all to do the same. (And if you do on your blog, please comment/link to it so I can read it!) I think a lot of times [...]

A Good Night

Last night was my friend’s graduation dinner, which pretty much marked the first time in FOREVER that the Jordyn got out with people. It seems like I did more stuff before the move despite the fact that I now live in a place where you can actually do stuff.

I sat and talked with people who, [...]
