February 2012
I KNOW that I can write a paper.
A damn good one.
I’ve done it in high stress situations successfully.
And yet any kind of writing assignment kicks my ass.
Instead of referring to myself as “socially awkward,” I think I’m just going to go with “socially uncomfortable.”
And discomfort often yields awkwardness. So it all works.

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH “LET’S HAUNT SHANNON WITH THE GHOSTS OF HER PAST” TODAY?
I mean WOW. Lotsa old, familiar faces today. (And avoiding eye contact so I don’t have to talk to them.)

whenever zinger comes in to give me something to do it’s slightly surreal
because i get into internet mode during my free and i feel like i’m at home
“zinger why are you in my house”
“why are you handing me this stack of papers”
“when did my feet get up on the desk”
actually i accidentally kicked the monitor when he came up behind me because i was listening to music and i...

No matter how many loads of laundry I do with my parents’ washing machine, it will always and forever confuse the f— out of me.
crumbler replied to your photo: Casey loves the Puppy Bowl (Taken with instagram)
There’s now like this whole category of things you say on your Tumblr about your dog Casey that are also true of me (Casey). Anyway, I think I could make some money off that.
I’m all for monetizing my dogs. Let me know.

My dad isn’t very good at expressing his feelings, but he just did my taxes for me. We’re set.
(we don’t take photos often, and when we do, they’re all pretty much like this.)

WHY the hell have I been wasting my life by not watching Friday Night Lights/Tim Riggins, more specifically.
Whenever my parents come to pick me up, they’ll send me ~arrival updates~ stating which mile marker they’re at.
I don’t know why they think this information will help me. All I need is “past this city”.

I seriously just want to sit in a room with people and talk about how good Jenny Owen Youngs’ new album is.
I don’t even know what to do with myself.
It’s incredible to listen to while walking, BTW. No longer is going to the class like a sheep to the slaughter, just ohmygoshGIRLFEELINGSandstuffSOGOOD!!!
I’m starting to get to that point where I can refer to that guy as my high school crush. I’m starting to get detached enough to be almost blasé about him and whatever I felt for him… I don’t have to be the disaster I was last year anymore.
That’s almost unbelievable sometimes.

WatchSo I’m watching this video from the week we brought the boys home and I’m in this weird combination of tears and giggles… oh my gosh they’re so f—ing cute and tiny. And my “c’mere boys!” should reflect how enthused I was then and now.

I’m trying to use the F and S words less often. (I’m calling them that and feel like a huge tool.)
I’ve been telling Ben and Sarah about that because whenever I make a decision, I have to repeat it to them at least 26 times at every meal. Or something. They’re supposed to be like buzzers when I do use those words because they’re the only people I talk to. LOLJK.

Nothing as soul crushing as when you’re tagged in a photo with your friend and get all of the notification of your friend’s other friends commenting on how gorgeous and adorable and perfect she is.

I got way too much joy today in watching an altercation between teacher and student.
A platinum blonde girl with a fake tan in short brown Uggs and capris yoga pants with “PINK” plastered across her ass had a bone to pick with our 65 year old professor. Apparently, the professor had wronged her as she marked a problem wrong on a quiz when the girl had obviously gotten it right.

hahah the moment jenny replies to a tweet, email, or even posts about a cover you did is undoubtedly the best moment ever. But it must be weird having a clone…
PREACH.

Everything’s OK. In fact, nothing matters. Everything is totally fine. The only thing that matters is sleeping and eating and doing what’s good for you. Ideally, school will fit into everything, but if it doesn’t, it’ll be fine. It is fine. No one freak out.

Whenever I get slightly nostalgic for high school, it’s more because there was safety in knowing it was fleeting and temporary and insignificant and knowing where I stood… most of the time.
Not that college is the be-all end-all experience of your lifetime… but it certainly matters more than four years of OMGHORMONESFORTHEFIRSTTIME and monotonous worksheets and AP questions with...

E-mail forwards describing a terrible event really bum me out when they’re true. Not always because it’s a horrible thing happening but because I can’t post “yeah this was made up, learn to f—ing Google.”
