let's be honest here...

...not that i ever lie on this thing, but sometimes i just use that phrase... so here we go, honesty at its best: do not say you're going to call if you aren't going to call. bottom line. i hate boys who do that.

working retail is not good for the soul. no more purchases for me until my cc is paid off.

please send me your christmas/holiday cards. it is always fun to receive the updated photo of the fam. 301 lyon.

this semester at the house is coming to a close; i really am quite sad. it will be nice to have a break, but so weird to come back to an empty house after a long day of work. i will literally lock myself in my room and wait for morning to go downstairs. it's not that i'm scared of the dark, but 4 stories and 15 bedrooms can make creepy noises.
visitors welcome!

what i'm reading: god's politics (wallis), the alchemist (coelho), fears of your life (loggins)*

what i'm listening to: if songs could be held (rosie thomas), continuum (john mayer), the freaking nordstrom christmas album that plays non-stop (various obnoxious artists)

what i'm watching: not much, since i don't have tv. but, i do manage to spend 43 minutes a week watching my downloaded episode of grey's anatomy. can't get enough of derek and meredith.

*fears of your life is brilliant. written by an artist with a developmental disability, loggins writes: "98. people are fearful of me which i wonder is they think that i'm all that terrible or i'm thinking that they think i'm not human at all because when they sit next to me than they get back up and move away from me i maybe a stranger but that doesn't make me a created monster or something like that. people aren't humans they act like ignorance dogs with their tail in back of their legs or in between their middle bodies their legs. they don't think who's feelings they hurt at all they just do it no consideration for whatever." i have so much to learn from loggins.

starting in january, i will be volunteering at martindeporres.org. gotta love dorothy day. "eating is a right, not a privilege. feeding the hungry is a matter of justice, not of charity."
