there really is something nice about being able to sit down in the early morning with a cup of oj and a crossword puzzle. it's really kind of romantic. (my grandparents would wake up every morning and sit in the kitchen to do their word puzzles. it reminds me of sunny mornings and cartoons and country music. ) i did alright on yesterday's puzzle, and it was the first time i actually really sat down to do one. i think i like it.

in lieu of my inability to sleep last night, i went over to matts house and we sang to each other and giggled. he's good times, one of those people you can really talk to. we really should play more, we're not half bad.

and then, there's you. thinking about you makes my stomach flutter, in that really nice way. it's nice to have something to look forward to. friday, come soon. you were right, because leaving really is harder than waiting. i would stay all day if there weren't those little things, you know. it may not seem like it's that much, but i'm still so happy. thank you, i can't tell you enough.

i've been under strange stresses, and as a result, my physical being is affected. i cannot sleep properly and eating is a chore. since i'm neglecting the two, my mind is also being thrown off. why, oh why am i so off right now?
