Sigh.
I woke up this morning with an email from each of my parents about how they can no longer trust me and how I am so disappointing and that everything I do is just an attempt to hide my feelings from myself and that I’m killing them. I don’t understand why everything I do in life has to be taken so seriously, they’ve made me such a serious, anxious person. I’m so sad...

You Talked About Politics and Religion for Most of...
The heat of the south in July reaches every surface, every impenetrable field. There is no escape from the humidity, the stickiness that makes any article of clothing unbearable. Air condition may as well be useless unless you are positioned in front of a fan larger than the surface area of your body. His car blasted into New Orleans at a time when most kids were just waking up after staying out...

Broke girl's guide to a broken water filter
1) Obtain a large pot.
2) Obtain two long wooden spoons. Or mismatch a spoon and a spoon with grates.
3) Take the water-holding part of the broken water filter and balance it on the wooden spoons.
4) Take a small cup and fill the filter with water.
5) Repeat until pot is full. This step will take a very long time.
6) Place pot in fridge and dip your chalice into a vat of cool, filtered water.

“Natures that are bloodthirsty towards animals show a native propensity towards cruelty…There is a certain consideration, and a general duty of humanity, that binds us not only to the animals, which have life and feeling, but even to the trees and plants. We owe justice to men, and kindness and benevolence to all other creatures who may be susceptible of it. There is some intercourse...

Why do the worst things keep happening to the people I love? I feel so bad for being so far away.
So my Mom read all of my text messages from December, so I guess everything is out in the open now. This conversation went surprisingly well, although I am now mortified.
I guess I’ll just have to learn to live with my own mediocrity.

“Up to what degree of distortion does an individual still remain himself? To what degree of distortion does a beloved person still remain a beloved person? For how long does a cherished face growing remote through illness, through madness, through hatred, through death still remain recognizable? Where is the border beyond which a self ceases to be a self?”

What I have done over break
- been discouraged
- been depressed
- collapsed alone in my house (thanks vertigo)
- ate too many vegan cookies
- avoided social situations
- thought and worried too much about the future and forgot to appreciate the present
I’ve progressed and digressed a lot during 2011. I am nervously awaiting whatever surprises the new year brings me, but I am ultimately proud of most of the decisions I have made in the past year.
