My mom’s estranged childhood friend is coming over after 30-odd years of absence, and on the surface it seems like Mom is controlled and not going crazy over cleaning the house, but I keep finding odd things out of place - the picture frames are moved around, the cupboard with the cereal bowls I was looking for was filled with food and spices, there are little chocolates in the bowl by the door who’s sole purpose is to hold Joey’s keys… She’s so cute.

Also, apparently when I told my dad over the phone a few weeks ago that I got my nose pierced he thought I meant a septum piercing. Wow. Props to him for not totally flipping out on the phone.

Welcome home.

#they have the best kisses in any disney thing ever#EVER #because it’s always rapunzel grabbing him and pulling him close #which is GREAT #because her entire character arc is about her seizing the life she deserves#and reveling in every tiny magical moment #and she’s met this boy that she loves#and she’ll be DAMNED if she ever lets him go #SHE EVEN DIPS HIM #SHE DIPS HIM AND KISSES HIM #my daaaaaaarling girl #and the wedding kiss killed me DEAD because eugene’s face is so priceless #he’s still not used to it #he’s still not used to her at all #and he probably never will be

Bathroom break. A female janitor is just coming out with her giant rolling trash can/tool kit and I asked her if it was okay to go in. She said yes, she was done cleaning but there aren’t any paper towels, she’ll be right back with some. I said “That’s okay, I have clothes,” and laughed and mimed wiping my hands on my skirt to show that I had no issue with there being no paper towels. She gave me a look that clearly said “What are you doing with your life.”

If I Could Write A Love Poem

I wouldn’t tell you that your eyes sparkle when you laugh
                (even though it’s true) 
or that I love your sense of humor
                (because I usually don’t)


I wouldn’t talk about being soul mates
or how our hands fit perfectly together


But I might mention that you only have one dimple
and that you have a secret freckle under your mustache
                because those are the things that people remember

And a love like this (although I won’t say that)
is not something that should be forgotten.

I would write something meaningful 
that people would underline in their books
thinking “oh yeah, that’s a good one.”

And then one day someone would repeat it to you,
                not knowing it was written for you
and you would smile your real smile that I love
and you would know.

If I could write a love poem,
I would try not to tell you that I love you,
                But I would probably not succeed.

The fact that a movie called “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song” exists,

or that someone in the library just checked it out.

In an effort to get my piercing to heal in two weeks so I can get the stud switched out before I leave SA, I’m trying to eat healthily and take tons of vitamin c gummies and such. But for real, I ate two salads today… that’s weird.

After waiting all semester (seriously - I first went to get it done the first week I got back in January) I finally got it done on Friday. I’m really happy with it and so glad that I did it; it was exactly the good-fear experience that I needed and have missed since leaving Wales. 

If you’re in San Antonio and want to get a piercing or tattoo, go to Buddha Box! They were so friendly and awesome and completely safe - it looked like a doctor’s office in the piercing room. They are legit about doing it right and making sure you’re happy with it and don’t get infected.

Knew it. Knew it from the very first question: “What would you hate most for people to call you?” Ordinary, Cowardly, Ignorant, Selfish.
