random gal at party
girl: Everytime I see you, I always think you look so cute!!!
me: [silence, awkward smile]
girl: I mean, that skirt is so cute and original. Are you a fashion design major?
me: Oh, no. I'm a business student.
[pause]
me: I got this skirt on sale at Goodys 4 years ago.
[pause]
me: [walk away]
I guess the reason we’re still together
is because I feel completely empty right now

Sometimes I fantasize about having a near-death experience because of an eating disorder, so that I can blame you for it. For always calling me fat.
That’s a disgusting thing to think about, but I do.

you can try to swim the sea
and you can try to hold the breeze
and you can try to hide the sun
but say goodbye to everyone.

I wouldn’t mind doing all of those things
and quite frankly, I wouldn’t mind saying goodbye.
The Peace Corps info session was a success.
It just made me even more excited than I already was.
I’m hoping to go to South America.
I want to either teach English or work with at-risk teens.

The only signs of life
were the crescent moons of coffee stains
on the bedside table.
She made it a point to never clean them off;
every brown ring representing another part of her life,
fading away before it ever completes a full circle.

I dug a hole and got inside it. I put a board over the hole and I sat on top.
I can’t get out and I can’t get up.
What’s the word for planning a mistake
months ahead of time?

salinger/pokemon connection.
Whenever I think about the part in “Catcher in the Rye” where Holden explains the title by recalling dreams he has of standing in the rye while children are playing and he feels he has to catch all of them before they fall to their death… the Pokemon song runs through my head when it says “gotta catch ‘em all, gotta catch ‘em all!”

It won’t be happening for another few years, yet I’m worrying my ass off about whether or not the Peace Corps will accept me.
Things that Confuse Me
+ tucking sweat pants into Ugg boots
+ Ugg boots in general
+ people who get excited about “the big fight”
+ when people don’t like a movie and their reasoning has something to do with one of the actors
+ girls who act stupid in an obvious manner, when they’re not stupid
+ the Wii vs. reality
+ Melissa Joan Hart’s choreography on the intro of Sabrina the Teenage...

just another cyber-addiction
Wow, it seems as though I’m already addicted to Tumblr. I’ve posted just about a million times today. I guess I can add this to my list of all the things I’ve created an account for: Facebook, Xanga, Twitter, Blogger, Wordpress, so on and so forth. Come on, Bethany, let’s make this one count.
