I really hope that they win and that they lose (badly).

I mailed in a check for $140 to do this today. :/

A man who comes into my coffee shop is a psychiatrist and gave me this book to read. I started it last night and already love it.

I am doing this soon, and it scares the crap out of me to think about. I'll probably pee my pants.

aaaaaaaaah! I want one of these!!

recently discovered: this place is fun. also, I'd like to go to this.

why, oh why, does this have to be on while I'm in group therapy class?!? boo. love that show.

this summer one of my goals is to try doing this.

I recently jumped on their bandwagon, and I definitely don't regret it.

THIS IS SO CUTE!! 

...heyo.

when I was in undergrad I applied for this. but really, I've always, always wanted to go on this.

apparently these are amazing, and I must go. soon.

ahahahaha. I remember when this happened. so. funny.

it is a dream of mine to return here, where I lived when I was 8. 

speaking of food, a friend just handed me summa these so I'm gonna go eat them now. byeeeeeeeeeeeee.

"how difficult it is to live inside my story."

"living inside my story means inside my full story, acknowledging the possible future relevance of every portion of my past. it means living inside my story, not in awe of someone else's - which has nothing to do, of course, with arrogantly supposing that my tale is central or universal, but only with understanding that this and no other is the one given me to inhabit whole. it means living inside my story, not popping outside all the time to check on how I'm doing with the audience, but getting the clearest possible view from where I stand."

"living inside my story allows my fullhearted presence in those places where many stories intersect and complete one another."

"to get there, I need a lot of solitude."

"who I am is not a noun, but a narrative."
