Things currently rummaging around the space waves of my brain:

-With NaNoWriMo less than a month away I have to start thinking about the possibility of participating again. It's not so much a question of whether or not I want to (of course I want to), it's more of a question of can I honestly commit the time to do it. Mind you, I'm fully aware that my schedule around this time of the year has always been a little bit on the ridiculous side, but I don't know if I can handle the extra pressure this year. And to answer what you're probably thinking, No. I can't just start it and then not finish if it gets to be too much. If it gets to be too much I'll lose sleep and get it done anyway. So yes, I'm actually considering not doing it this year. We'll see how I feel closer to the end of the month.

-Child asks me the driveway/parkway question. By the time I got to explaining about word origins and literal definitions, I was interrupted and told that the right answers was lack of intelligence from English people, but that I was still really smart for trying. (laughing to self right now) Kids. Go figure.

-Kids that bring the teacher an apple (or a mango) have a special place inmy heart. So do little girls who wear ridiculously cute bows in their hair.

-I pride myself on the use of color. Professional doesn't have to mean black and white. So, when I decided that I wanted to wear purple on Wednesday to show my support for the young, gay men who committed suicide I thought "Great"! No problem right? However, I find myself in a bit of a jiffy. I own -nothing- purple. Nothing. Not even a purple ribbon for my hair, which I have in every other color, even orange. No purple shirt or sweater, not even socks! I feel a slight pang of disappointment in myself for not owning purple. How is it that I can have cyan blue sneakers, traffic light red corduroys, a sunshine yellow ribbon, and nothing purple? Have I shunned purple subconsciously? I don't have anything against it. I think it's a lovely color. I even recently painted a room in a beautiful shade of tulip purple. I don't know how this happened, but purple I am so sorry. I promise to make a conscious effort to add more of you to my wardrobe and even into my everyday life.

-Tall, skinny, laid back, and super nerdy is rawr. Boys who talk to animals are also quite steamy. Boys who buy adorable, roller skating stuffed animal pigs at the grocery store, because they tag says that they like to cook and love pancakes are also ranked somewhere on the cute meter. I approve of this.

-Comfort > Style. Always and forever. Just because a store dells a particular item of clothing,that doesn't mean you have to buy it. Use your brain. Please.

-When I say make a present tense sentence using a particular object, like say a pencil, that doesn't mean take the pencil and try to make a physical representation of a sentence. Although, I'll admit, it's very clever.

-I'm currently in love with mixing Grey and other colors. It's fantastic. Really.

(Also, Shayne Orok = <3)

Stay awesome. :)

Peace, Love & Pancakes
