Simply Put.

I've been realizing the best things are always so simple. Like friends, who love you for who you are and teach you how to baby talk.

When it's simple, I want time to stand still.
It's laying on the floor with your heads together saying whatever comes to mind first. It's clipping the ends off of flowers and putting them in fresh water. It's that excited/retarded little jump you always want to do when you randomly see someone you just want to spend all your time with. It's sitting on a dock with crispy fresh french fried potatoes dreaming of the future ahead, but not caring, cause your young. It's the crunch of your steps on a gritty gravel path. Its that sweet-spot of discovered chords played on the piano, over and over.
It's the final touch on a homemade card.
It's always just ashley's baby talk that makes me giggle uncontrollably.

Why English is Hard.

We have the best discussions in class...

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP"

It's easy to understand: UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are th eofficers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP and appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is ordinary, but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can have UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of th emany ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. But when the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP.

Can you think of more?

The best movie is UP.
You break UP when things don't work out.
The top of your booty's jigglin out those jeans, baby pull your pants UP
Wrap it UP and shut UP
It's time to set UP shop and keep UP to speed.
Sit UP straight and stay UP late
I'll be UP UP and away UP UP and away
My time is UP.

Just Between Us.

Sometimes I wish...

sunday nights would never end
time was slower
everyone had a moustache like mario's
laughter would never die down
I was JB's fav girl
everything didn't have to make sense
your socks didn't have to match
you never had to choose a last word.

November 4

it's a lovely thing to think about, but is it a distort, a kaleidoscope that hopes for color, for dreams and inspiration, of course it is true, but the perfect tint makes everything look good.

Moustache + Blossoms

Today was brilliant, starting off with conference which is so amazing and then walking outside to the most perfect feeling day in a long time. My professor in school told us the other day that the human mind can take in 11 million pieces of information at one time, but the brightest of humans can only process 45 in the moment. He said to imagine how many pieces of information that bombard you when you go for a walk in nature. I took his advice and was completely overwhelmed with the richness a good walk outdoors contains. It shows you new things you've never noticed before, beautiful little things, each one was created with careful perfection. Frodo and I even saw a bunny! as well as the first blossoms of the year. I'm going to make this a habit. Oh and grape flavored chewy wax moustaches with mom topped off this perfect day. I love girls night out on conference weekend more than anything!
