dear everyone who gave me a graduation gift:
i really appreciate your gifts. really, i do. you're all very, very wonderful people and i respect you all. i am very grateful for your generosity. however, writing you all thank you notes nauseates me. writing a cliche 4 sentence letter 30 times in a row, quite frankly, makes me want to punch a cocker spaniel. but it seems that not writing them is a terrible crime against humanity (at least to my mother), and i must press on or risk having everyone's perception me mutilated into a irrecognizable pulp because they think i'm a little ingrate. ugh.

flawed.
my nose is too big, my boobs are too small, my face is too wide.
i'm too tall and proportioned awkwardly.
i squint when i smile and make weird faces without knowing i'm making them.
i eat too much and drink too little.
my hair is limp.
i'm just not cute.
blah.
at least i'm funny.

changes.
i am the most emotional i have been about graduating right at this particular moment. the ceremony was pomp and circumstance and the graduation parties were as well. but right now, as i sit in my pajamas in my computer room typing this, i feel it.
disney world is over, and now college looms over the horizon with an unwavering air of persistence and urgency. no more talk of castles and princesses to divert my gaze from my imminent new life back to a simpler time. although my words are sometimes cliche, i mean them most of the time. looking upon that twinkling, iconic castle as i walked away from it in the magic kingdom two nights ago, i felt the already loosened tethers of my childhood finally snap into pieces. i saw the little kids around me with their parents and realized i wasn't among them anymore. everything was about to change.
and now, as i sit here wondering what the future will hold, i'm scared of leaving behind my way of life. and i'm sad that this will mean that some of the relationships i have will inevitably suffer as things change.

target: a love story
it's no secret that i'm in love with target. (well, maybe it is..) but anyhow, i love target so very, very much. i go to target for everything. clothes, books, dvds...anything. it is like my mother ship and it calls to me. their clothes are so fresh and young. don't even get me started about their shoes and scarves. simply fantastic in every way. i could spend all day in target with my caramel machiatto/iced tea from starbucks just looking at everything. i don't even need to buy anything. just being in there makes me extremely happy. ugh. delightful.
just so you know, i'm about to go to target. so that's the reason i felt compelled to write this. lame.
