[the people in my life] are the harmony to my heartbeat, baby.

"Hey Mom, can you help me remember this phone number: _ _ _-8580"
"Sure! *chants* _ _ _-8150. _ _ _-8050."
"Mom... you realize you're not even close."
"Really? Whoops! *Continues to chant up the stairs* _ _ _-8080. _ _ _-8015."

I tell ya what, I don't think anyone will ever really understand me 'til they meet my momma.

Ah sweet Maymester/Summertime.

I got a scholarship yesterday (which came complete with a giant laundry basket of groceries, school supplies, a neat watch & other fun things like soap!) & came home for the ceremony. Since then I've just been blessed with the fabulous opportunity to hang out with my fambam, of whom I'm so terribly fond.

PLUS! I got to see the fabulous and talented EMILY ARNOLDDD! & I got to see Sara and James too, which was awesome. It's been so long. I can't believe that I'm old enough to have married friends..guh. Anyway, Emweee and I watched a lot of SVU and I forced her into becoming a Next to Normal fan. It's a fever, spreading like wildfire.

& Yeah. You are probably next.

Mommy and I DVR'd Grey's Anatomy last night & we watched it together this morning. MAN I love Callie and Arizona together. And OH MY SWEET BABY JESUS that was an INTENSE episode! And beautifully directed, too. My mom and I talked about the superb nature of Bailey's performance when she found out that the elevators were off? Ya with me? I'm trying not to spoil anything for anyone who may not have seen it yet... but watch it. Cause it's AMAZING.
Then we went to the beach with aunt lori-loo and anna banana, which was a good time. I met some cute puppies & I'm looking forward to going to visit my cousin at her new job & being SUPER OBNOXIOUS. Yippeeskips.

& tonight I went to the club to see Jamie Kennedy with my high school best friend/elphie/other half.

Do you ever look at your life and honestly NOT REMEMBER why you stopped talking to someone? I know it happened, and I know I felt strongly about it at the time, but it seems so silly to me now. Especially someone who meant so much to me, someone who knew me as well as you did, elph. I'm really excited to have you as a friend again, and I guess that's all part of growing up. People come in and out of your life when you least expect it, but always just when you need them.

But hey, if the cast of characters were always the same, the sitcom that is my life would've been cancelled long ago,

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
