Happy New Years all
2008 was mostly a disaster, but a year of growth and experience nonetheless. Tonight I feel familiarly despondent. I’m not partying, I’m not drunk, and I’m not going to be drunk. I’ll be lucky if anyone in this household besides me makes it to midnight. There is snow swallowing everything outside, literally engulfing cars and roads. I’m at my grandma’s house...

Good god
I’m about to undertake an 8 hour car ride, in a van with my entire 7 member family. We haven’t even left yet and everyone’s already fighting. Shit. I’m literally terrified. Also I’m about to go pick up sleeping pills so that I have no recollection of this ordeal when it’s over. Light at the end of the tunnel? We’re finally headed to my grandma’s in...
a good old fashioned family christmas
iamjen:
My 82 year-old papa came up to the house to celebrate with us today. He’s spent most of his time reading us the Obituaries aloud. That’s a lot of dead people. Merry Christmas!
haha, families are awesome.
Christmas Morning Highlights.
1. Wake up at 7:30am by 4 young children 2. Dunkin donuts coffee :) 3. Big Brunch 4. Banksy book 5. Christmas story marathon (OBV) 6. My mom being electrically excited about getting my D&G perfume from Paris. “It was the biggest one they had!” …only to find that “Pour Homme” means..for men.
haha cheers!
More Christmas Story
Father: He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny.
Mother: He does not!
Father: He does too, he looks like a pink nightmare!

I forgot how adorable and hilarious this movie is...
Santa: I've been to New York thousands of times.
Buddy: Really?
Santa: Mm-hmm.
Buddy: What's it like?
Santa: Well, there are some things you should know. First off, you see gum on the street, leave it there. It isn't free candy.
Buddy: Oh.
Santa: Second, there are, like, thirty Ray's Pizzas. They all claim to be the original. But the real one's on 11th. And if you see a sign that says "Peep Show", that doesn't mean that they're letting you look at the new toys before Christmas.
White Christmas, circa 1954
Judy Haynes: We're booked for the holidays.
Phil Davis: Vermont, huh?
Judy Haynes: Oh, Vermont should be beautiful this time of year, with all that snow.
Phil Davis: Yeah, you know something... Vermont should be beautiful this time of year, with all that snow.
Judy Haynes: That's what I just said.
Phil Davis: We seem to be getting a little mixed up.
Judy Haynes: Maybe it's the music.
Phil Davis: Maybe it isn't only the music.

There are very, very few things I regret.
I don’t know why I’m thinking about this, but one of my regrets is that I missed the Dave Matthews concert this summer because I thought it would be smarter to work. Turns out my friend had an extra ticket, they played a nasty setlist, AND Tim Reynolds was there. It makes my stomach turn when I think about the 6 or so hours that I worked in a near empty restaurant instead of being at...
I can barely move today.

It is zero degrees out.
I spent my night drinking tea and writing music. Cory and I are about 50% of the way done writing a pretty decent song. I wrote the lyrics and he wrote the music, but we haven’t recorded anything yet. We did record our own version of damien’s “coconut skins” though..just to test out his new vocal mic. Now I’m about to roll myself up into five or six blankets and watch...

Come on and get up.
Help a lady out?
If anyone knows or hears of any interesting job openings/internships this summer, preferably on the east coast/nyc-ish, (but anywhere would be fine..including abroad) I gotta get out of Ohio. I’m 19 and a second year english major at Case Western Reserve University. Any info you could throw my way would be phenomenally appreciated. Sarah.mount@case.edu
Vendettas are mostly overrated.
Once you get over yourself, you may realize that the reasons have melted away, and whoever you’re holding a grudge against..may have more of a heart than you expected.
Open your eyes.
See further than the past.

The mouths of babes
Babysat 4 kids last night, ages 6,7,9, & 11..I believe. The youngest one (Lucas) told me he didn’t like babysitters, but continued to grin at me all night. Then he pulled his sister (Kayla) aside because he had to tell her a secret. She ran back to me, all the while yelling that she wasn’t going to tell me the secret, and then says to me “Lucas said you have big...

Today, I decided I'm going to write a novel.
Wish me luck.
Note to self:
When you go home for Christmas break, and decide to go to a popular bar in town, knowing full well that there will be people who know you, don’t mix shots of jaeger with Christmas ale and long island iced tea. You probably won’t be able to stand. And you’ll definitely sing drunken karaoke.
shit.
I am spending my day today:
wrapped up in blankets and snuggled up on the couch with coffee and the history channel..and the discovery channel. I got so much sleep last night and I kind of feel like spending my day in a lazy dream-like state.
