  If only limerence were a facebook relationship status my life would be so much more honest.

  My stomach started making funny boiling noises so my roommate looked up and farted at me. True love. I am so happy to be here with her again. (Modern companionship is mutual silence on different screens together.)

  Just want you all to know I’ve been looking to find a good yellow dress for FULLY half a year, now, and just last weekend I passed a BEAUTIFUL one (the FIRST AND ONLY REALLY PERFECT ONE) on clearance in Target but it was XS so instead I had to get it for my little sister. Try to imagine this act of vicarious charity. HAHA I ALMOST TYPED TRAGEDY BY ACCIDENT. Calm down, Freud, okay. Epilogue: so I found the dress online and convinced myself I would even pay full price and shipping and then ALAS it was available in every size except M so I consider it a sign ‘twas not to be, woe betide, alack alay etcetera. Thank you O Circumstances for saving me the money I never needed to spend on such a frivolous quest. Instead I shall feed my regrets to my car at a rate of 3.69 per gallon. That is a rate of one coffee per every six miles I drive.

  What is my family?

  Parents and siblings. Grandparents. Aunts and uncles, cousins, foster- and second-cousins. Best friends and their immediate families. Boyfriend. Boyfriend’s immediate family. Roommate. Woven-up school friends.

  Who are my people?

  My family. Rescue squad. Co-workers and managers. Associates or extended friends. Predominantly-internet friends. Recluses and hermits and home-bodies. Authors and poets and artists and travellers and adventurers. Lovers and fighters and nurturers. Mythologized relevant dynamo figures. Strangers with whom I identify; strangers for whom I have empathy; strangers for whom I feel compassion; strangers around me whom I may never notice no matter how we propel and support each other in mutual desires of good nature. People who share some of my culture. Citizens of my neighborhood, of my region, of my state, of my nation, of my country, of my civilization, on this world.

  Where is my home?

  In places which belong to me in the lives of these people. Virginia and West Virginia. California and Florida. Denver and Oberlin and Jacksonville. Nameless woods in ancient mountains everywhere and on the Potomac. Books and papers. Blankets or sunshine. Tangled around the bodies of the people I love. Specific moments in memory which absorb consciousness into comfort and contentedness and belonging. Wherever I am. Wherever I want to be.

  Taking a five-week sociology course about The Family. On the first day of class we learned: it is impossible to define The Family.

  What if I don’t change my major. Can I tolerate another two years of school and debt. No. Has anyone ever been this stubbornly indecisive. Ten years from now, what will be my biggest regrets. All the puppies I never kissed. All the books I didn’t read. Yes. My life goals are crazy-dog-ladydom in a library cabin in the woods. Where is that major. Who will let me take those classes. Who will hire me to be Thoreau. Philosophical question: could a person be Thoreau if she was paid or does that mitigate the self-reliance.

  Oh my GOD why does transferring from a summer literature class to an art class make me want to cry THIS IS DISGUSTING. There is no reason to be sad. I am doing what I want! I am taking charge! I am leaving something I hated in favor of something better! And I am upset about it!

  Sibling Bonding:

  • sitting silently beside each other at the dining table, doing two separate silent things on our two separate phones, while our feet absorb not-so-foreign heat because at some point we realized we’ve been touching each other for ages accidentally but we’re quite content to stay here and be different people very close together

  Just remembering one time I was complaining about how expensive it is to send boxes to Afghanistan and my brother offered to pay half of the next one. Even though he wasn’t sending anything himself. And he said, yeah, but it’s an investment - your relationship is important to my future. It only costs fourteen dollars to mail things to Afghanistan.
