Yesterday morning I looked at the uncomfortable pole grabbing of a man with long fingernails. I New York-glanced at him more closely and noticed he was wearing gang colors — coat, scarf, hat, and backpack. I moved my hand to make his grasp of the pole more comfortable then took the opportunity to look down. He was wearing expensive dress pants and brand new dress shoes. Book. Cover.
I would like to remind everyone who reads my words: Don’t give in. Be you. Don’t be who others want you to be. It’s ok to compromise on issues. It’s not ok to compromise on Who You Are. And if you need to be reminded of this daily you go right ahead and bookmark this post. I remind myself of this daily before I reach my Manhattan destination. It’s a necessity.
I had onion rings for lunch Thursday. I assure you, no matter what time it is right now, I’m still experiencing them. They were ungood. Who makes bad onion rings?! Such a travesty.
Ripley has really adorable feet. She wanted you to know.
Aaaaand, finally, doing a project for (surprisingly) my dad and stepmom back home and here’s one of the fruits of my labor:
I :heart: red. And Snoopy! And crookedness.
Bro and Mom, I promise I’ll give you the results too, in a different form.

little poppy is cute
GAH! Complete and total cuteness!!
The pretty pretty Poppy!
bad onion rings haunt you
That’s the cutest picture EVER!
Ripples does indeed have adorable feeties… especially when she’s not sinking her claws into me.
Those are adorable feetie pajamas your wearing. I miss the feetie pajamas.
But what if who you are is a chameleon who pretends to be what other people want, hmmm?
You haven’t changed a bit.
I want to hug the little Poppy.
And yeah, I’m who I wanna be…not who people try to make me. I’m a rebel like that. (And um, gee…I wonder where my kids got it from.)
Kitteh paws smell wunnerful…’specially BEFORE they’ve been in the litter box.
What are those instructions to?
Awwww you were adorable, which isn’t a surprise since you still are!
Oh, and I hate those long creepy nails on men…
You totally look the same, only taller!! Cute!!!
I really needed this entry today. Thanks
I love Snoopy too !!! He’s the dog you will always have, forever !!
Holy hellfire – I can totally recognize you in this.I mean, easily. That’s somewhat uncommon.
(For the record, when I was so little, I looked like I was to grow up to become a female who fills all lesbian stereotypes)
so cute! i can definitely see little poppy in there…
HEY! I HAVE THAT SNOOPY! The wish bone fairy brought him to me when I was 5. I wanted one that wound up and barked, but I guess I was too greedy. Seriously, I have THAT Snoopy.. except with fewer eyebrows now, and a very floppy neck.
