what I want...
I want us to go out and slow dance to some R&B, while you sing along softly in my ear. I want us to go to a club and dance all night [or until 11:30] to hip hop with a little 80’s sprinkled in. I want us to jump up and down, like teenagers, at a punk show and go home unembarrassedly sweaty. I want us to make fools of ourselves at a salsa club, but look damn good doing it. I want us...
ten things about me...
1. I’ve had four dogs. Waggie, Maggie, Browny, and Sweety. Also, one domesticated alley cat named Kitty.
2. I have horrible grammar, and there is a 99.9% chance that anything written by me will have […] in it at some point.
3. Me and my brother used to watch Dawson’s Creek every weeknight, at 8pm.
4. When I was a little boy I peed in a house plant in the middle of the...
The next book on my list:
Little, Big tells the epic story of Smoky Barnable — an anonymous young man who meets and falls in love with Daily Alice Drinkwater, and goes to live with her in Edgewood, a place not found on any map. In an impossible mansion full of her relatives, who all seem to have ties to another world not far away, Smoky fathers a family and tries to learn what tale he has...

...
I enter the dimly lit elevator, consisting of a handful of small bulbs all of which shed their light from above me. As the elevator doors close, any feelings and emotions get left outside. There is no room for them in here. This small space gliding through time is filled with shadows. I look at my reflection through the polished steel of the elevator walls. My face is distorted, but I can...
bright eyes ~ first day of my life
I stayed up til midnight finishing Midnight Sun. I don’t know how I feel about it yet. I don’t know if it needs to be a full book. I found myself waiting for certain parts, and wanting to skip others. It was like rereading Twilight, which duh is kinda the point, but I’m glad I read it. It’s nice to have the two perspectives. I’m sure girls liked reading his...
What's new...
~ Obama is good… Obama is great
~ my legs shook when I walked by her today, but it was because they were sore from riding my bike this weekend and not from being near her… okay, 80% from being sore and 20% because of her
~ I appreciate Daisey [my brother’s girlfriend] more. Not because she makes him happy, but because she let’s us play video games whenever we see each...
Watching the Twilight movie, I questioned how two people [or one person and one monster] can fall in love so quickly. It didn’t bother me so much in the book, but definitely in the movie. It didn’t seem real. Not at all possible. But after a hundred pages into the Midnight Sun draft [Twilight through Edward’s eyes] things start to make sense. Edward knew that he would fall...
“She was actually rather pretty… in an unusual way. Better than being...”

“I’d ask her if she likes John Cusack. If she says yes, then I know...”
– from the cast/crew of My Best Friend’s Girl on dating
I forgot to share with you...
the first song that I sang in ‘09. I was asked last night if I remembered what it was. At first I thought they were referring to the bar that we popped in right before the new year. In that case, we all were singing along to old school music like Michael Jackson, Cindy Lauper and what not. But no they were referring to right after the New Year ball dropped. A bunch of us went outside...
She’s not the prettiest girl that I’ve ever seen, or met, but there’s something about her that grabs my attention. When I walk past her door, I’m left wondering. And I don’t even know what I’m wondering about… if she’s there, if she’s working, is she listening to music, what music does she like, what’s her favorite color, does she like...

Susa: (giggle) you're too funny
a moment in my early 20's...
I’ve made up my mind. Today is the day. I’m going to talk to her. I’m going to ask her out. I may crash and burn, or possibly this can be the beginning of a great thing. Either way, I’ve made up my mind. Today is the day.
She’s known as the balloon girl by me and my coworkers. She’s a petite brunette. Reminds me a little of Kristen Kreuk. And she makes...
resolutions...
Pretty much the first time I’ve ever made resolutions.
~ I will try very hard to be a “yes” man in ‘09. No more being lazy. Unless I really don’t want to do something, then I’ll probably just ignore you rather than saying no.
~ Create one piece of art a month. Whether it’s a stick figure on a napkin or a still life on a canvas. Just as long as...
bringing in the new year...
Damn that whiskey. I should’ve known better. The effects were instant. My body became warm. Things started to slow down. I was on a one-way street to a plastic, compostable bag in the back seat of Ralna’s car. Just the way I wanted to start the new year.
The next day wasn’t too bad. A slight hangover kept me sidelined for most of the day. I took a five hour nap with the...
