1. your view today — photo a day, 02.2012
Some days involve a lot of looking at the ground and my feet. Today was one of those days.
I wanted to be playing outside, but I had to work instead.

Things I learned today: 01.28.2012 edition
How to print a part label from iRepair
MAYBE I learned how to complete the iRepair steps of a back plate service+replacement — need more practice to confirm
How to place a part order
Apparently I get no breaks booked or double breaks booked (perks of operating under two different names at work?)
Kids who were lightyears cooler than me in high school [read: still] not only knew me then, but recognize me years later
Tricky as chopsticks may be for the uncoordinated, they are still a better option for dumplings than forks
Everyone is pulling so hard at me and I’ve had a stomachache for nearly a week and my hands won’t stop shaking and I’m tired tired tired.
I just want to rest my head somewhere safe for awhile.
I’m trying the best that I can. When will that feel like enough?
What the f**k? This Etch-A-Sketch won’t connect to the wifi? (Related: Two whole bottles of wine.)

If you were wondering
You are so much better than I could ever deserve.
You have accepted all of me — my bullshit, my morning perkiness, my irrational anger, my love for Zac Efron, my anxieties, my obsessive parts.
You’ve been honest, direct, inviting, understanding. You have shared your whole life with me, from holidays with your family to our sweet little summertime garden.
You have held me when I’m most afraid and pushed me when I needed it. You’ve obliged my whims, given me pink roses, added the most pleasant delights to every single day for the last year.
What if you’d never found me, never pursued me? What if you’d backed away when I first said no? I would still be empty, emotionless, distant, broken. Worthless. You gave me a reason to be better.
What a blessing you are.
some pointless words.
I burned my tongue on tomato sauce earlier.
I went to LattéLand three (3) times today.
At work, a 50-year old woman asked if I like Zooey Deschanel.
I said, ‘Sometimes.’
Maybe if I pretend I’m confident, this recent onslaught of insecurity and doubt will subside.
This has been making me sick to my stomach.
But my stock looks great. I’m a few weeks away from ~$1300 in investments.
That’s mildly adult-like.
I think I like people more than money, though.
I’ve been writing a lot without saying anything.
My insides have been full of words.
They just get stuck on the way out.
It’s always something.
