Am I a hoot or what?

It took a lot out of me to write The One about SG and MFL so this post isn’t going to be very exciting, but there are some things I just need to say:

• Did you notice how my grammar and writing got better/neater/cleaner over the years? I try not to edit my archives because I want to preserve the naivety of my childhood entries but MAN are they embarrassing to read! I mean, I’m all for being genuine, but could I make myself sound any more immature?
• Courtney: Believe me, it hurts me to read all that myself. Especially because I had to read those entries individually as I was collecting them – it was like a HUGE dose of emo that I wasn’t really prepared for. I couldn’t work after that. I just kind of sat there, zoned out. It was intense (and kind of trippy actually), but hopefully it’ll be the last time I ever have to go through the whole love-story-then-heartbreak, at least in one sitting. I also think I’ve consumed my weight in chocolate. =/
• Tiff: “Nothing worse than trying to piece together a relationship when it’s falling apart and then trying to piece together the pieces of a broken heart.” Great line! I’m incapable of describing things in compact ways, but you’ve just summed it up really neatly. If I had an award for Best Comment, I’d definitely give it to you! “Treasure your memories but don’t dwell on them” – well hopefully this is the last of the “dwelling.”

So that’s that. Now I have exams to focus on. But before I end this entry, I’m just going to do a little of the “tooting one’s own horn” and promote my services as an awesome email pal. So if you’re bored at work/school and want some amusement, you can look forward to conversations such as these:

so i’ve decided i should be a better female and take more care of myself. like cut my nails and comb my hair and shave and stuff. it really sucks but i don’t want to feel like a cavewoman standing next to some of the finer specimens of my gender. therefore, am trying to improve.
but it still sucks balls.

11:07 PM me: haha my mom just walked in and saw me grinning stupidly at the corner of my screen
my parents ACTUALLY think i’m mentally challenged
it’s really sad
connie: haha, gmail has that effect
me: my friends feel sad for me
connie: i feel sad for you, too
if it’s any consolation
me: ooh ooh i just sent email go go check!
grunts like an excited caveman
11:10 PM btw before i forget to tell you, your initial message reminds me of this person who called the IT help desk, we were helping her through remote desktop, and then she started freaking out because she was like “can you SEE ME??”
she thought we were actually watching HER, not the screen
it was priceless.
11:11 PM connie: hahaha the poor woman
i think i would have said… yes
because she seems happier knowing you can actually see her
me: i was tempted to say “no, but god can.”
but i think i would’ve lost my job for that
[...]
me: i hate it when people can’t appreciate sarcasm
11:24 PM connie: yeah i know, they must lead a lackluster life
me: i feel really depressed for other people who are less exciting than us
it must really suck to be them.
connie: well, that’s like the entire world
11:25 PM i guess we can pity the whole world
me: let’s have a moment of silence for them.
ok moment over.
With the amazing Connie, from grabaduck.com

why am i complaining about modesty? really. but i wish i weren’t so awkward when i receive compliments. that should be considered a skill too. if i could do it well, i’d put it on my resume. “GREAT AT RECEIVING COMPLIMENTS.”

sry i’m kind of distracted by my indigestion

i’m on the spirit squad for the soph team, and we’re supposed to make this video to show the frosh, and i’ve been pretending i’ve been in cambodia so i can’t read their emails. i should fake some pictures. i was thinking like southeast asian jungles and maybe some vietnamese villagers. and one of those little kids faces that they always show on christian channels asking you to send them money

If you want to get in on a piece of the action, leave me a comment (with the email you’d like me to use) and I’ll send some love your way!
