P.S. I Love You
Seriously, watch this movie. Uber-chick-flick, but AMAZING. I cried a lot. Seems I’m turning into a crier. Only in private though; in public I act uncomfortable, like “pshhh, who cries at that? hahha…ahh, hehe, yah…” At the end there’s a line I like. It talks about life, and ends with “none of us come out alive.” Beautiful.
sentient
i’ve decided this is my word of the day. or rather my word of yesterday, but i was too lazy to post it then. i love the sound of this word, and maybe the meaning as well. but mostly how it rolls off the tongue with a smooth “ssen” beginning, into an enjoyable “shee” middle and ending with in a crisp “int”. super awesome word.
calendars
i just glanced at a picture my grandparents gave me of themselves which is accompanied by a calendar and thought, “i should put that on my fridge so i look at it more”. then i thought of how my fridge is already pasted with two small calendars given to me. i began to think of just how many calendars i was given this year, and how that was strange because they were all from different...

prejudice
At work today, a supervisor of mine, and also a sometimes manager, made a comment about how he wished all natives could be shipped to Quebec (a place he also has disdain for). I asked him if I had heard him correctly. He acknowledged that I had. I said to him that I wouldn’t like such an arrangement, since my niece was a quarter Native, and her mother one half, and it would be really quite...
crushing
It’s like I’m 14 years old and I have the biggest crush on the older guy in my woodworking class. (I use this example because there was such a guy, not because woodworking is a common place to meet cute guys.) I see him come in the door and I can feel myself trembling slightly. I’m so excited I’m nervous. Unlike high school, I am able to talk to him, but probably end up...
what is really funny...
is when you are with someone who is playing some strange online game and talking to people neither of you can see, but you especially can’t even hear, and so it seems as though they are talking to either you or themself. Which is very strange and otherworldly. And nerdy. Here I thought I was the biggest nerd because I wanted to play some sort of quest-like PC game where I could be something...

creative movies?
i am continually amazed by the lack of original films coming out and the increased reliance on books for film ideas. how is it that new books can be written for thousands of years, but we’re running out of movie ideas so quickly??? it really blows my mind….

I’m sick and alone on Valentine’s Day, but at least I watched this AMAZING movie. Best movie in a long time!

date night
I’m getting ready for a date. How exciting. What to wear, how to do my hair? To go all out, or not so much, so you don’t seem like you’re trying to go all out. Hmm… I also kinda need a nap. Oh that’s lame. Maybe just some coffee. We’ll see how this goes…
adult-ish
Lately I’ve been feeling like maybe I can consider myself an adult. Sure I’m twenty six and have been legally considered an adult for seven years, but I’ve never really related to the term before. I’ve heard it said that going to college or university puts off growing up for some time. If that’s the case, my 6 years of university plus classes since have certainly...

From the fall
One by one they drip to the ground, as if by some silent agreement they decided it needed a blanket, a layer of warmth. Without hesitation, they give up their lives for this common goal. Others look down jealously, knowing their duty, but as yet unable to fulfill it. Resentment for their parent grows and grows, until the parent can stand it no longer. Grips loosened and then released. Sorrow...
