!!!

i just finished all of miranda july's short stories.
they were FREAKY.
i read some in class while the kids took tests.
and one was about this woman who started a relationship with her special needs student
because she thought he was the human form of this squiggle who had "entered her" when she was young and they were long lost lovers.
and i was like
oh
this is probably inappropriate
but this book cover is inoffensive
and matches my outfit.
i seriously thought that.
THIS BOOK MATCHES MY OUTFIT.
i'm pretty freakin vain about colors sometimes.
i mean, see for yourself.
also, note the lovely claire giving birth to dinosaurs pose.
(it was the only way to get my whole self in the photo!!! i know it's bad and terrible and unflattering and awkward!!!)


p.s. i've decided to take control of my life!!!
i'm sick of feeling like a little girl -
i'm a full-grown woman now!
all the little kids in my classes think so!
it's time for me to stop waiting for things to happen and just to do them!!!

things that are involved in this growing up plan:
sticky notes
a gym membership
figuring out how to pay bills online
itaewon missions to buy chickpeas and assorted spices
acting mysterious so korean boys will want to hang out with me

i'm cool!

A gym membership sounds great, but why not take up Taekwondo again? You might have to pretty much start over, but so what?

Claire, I read that book awhile ago, and it had a yellow cover. I swear. Are you sure you didn't dye it to match your outfit?

How do you like your dinosaurs? I'm thinking of getting something similar to go on the walls at our house, since we can't put holes in the front rooms because of their age. They just need SOMETHING. Maybe really large paintings and set them on the floor?

I need to start replying to your posts more often.

Cool outfit!!!!!!!!! I've been in Long Beach moving Kristen into her first apartment. Why do colleges say "all first year freshman are guaranteed a dorm" when they aren't? Why do they think that a 17 year old can instantaneously become a responsible adult and remember to lock the front door? Ahhhhh.
