I was already pretty excited to go see the...
Because I love my team and I love track and I haven’t seen any pole vaulting in far too long.
BUT THEN I realized that I can totally make Coach crack my back, which has been sorely needing a cracking for days now. So now I’m like, extra excited.

Curiously, the back of a taxicab traveling away from the downtown bar scene and towards this home that I’ve made for myself on the outskirts (more friends, more beer, more frozen convenience store pizza) ended up being the perfect place to begin a new year. We had no countdown or confetti, but I still got to kiss Julz at midnight—not a bad deal, at all.

I just did the unthinkable.
I left my sunglasses at home. In Cranford. I am en route to Boston. Which you know (if you know me at all) means I will be complaining about my photosensitivity for however long it takes me to get them back. Grumble grumble grumble.
When I come to the hair salon with my little brother, I always feel like the sister in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. The ladies here LOVE him in a way that is inexplicable (and, okay, kind of hilarious).

I’m more than a little bummed to not be going home for Thanksgiving (because of the whole no-kitchen-thanks-Hurricane-Irene thing). Except that as soon as I admit to anyone that I’m bummed about it I feel like a total drama queen because: a) it’s not like I’m not getting a big ol’ family turkey day. We’re just doing it at my aunt and uncle’s in CT b)...

Tripped a Blind Man on the Bus Today
Definitely my finest moment.
“And Reily surely did not know that on a late fall afternoon in the Berkshire...”
– Sports illustrated on a mysterious box in Cole Field House, now revealed. (via wslack)
This gave me goosebumps so hard. Also, I’m missing Williamstown something terrible these days.

Every year, I am absolutely amazed by the enormity of love that surrounds me on my birthday. Or surrounds me everyday, I suppose, if I only remembered to look for it.
This year is no exception. I’m going to bed, newly twenty-two, with a happy heart, clear mind, and a stomach full of brownies. I could not ask for a better life.
