i’m old enough that i come home for christmas. weird.
i’ve spent the last day pouring over my mumsie’s yearbook looking at 70’s fashion. i found out that what my mom wore as a senior in high school resembles my wardrobe all too closely. weird.
i’ve watched Devil Wears Prada twice in the last [...]

weird
there are five extra bodies (actually, six) sleeping here tonight. those from the yellow house down the street decided to stay here for a “sleepover” of sorts. it’s not the kind where you stay up all night giggling about cute sixteen-year-old boys and it’s definitely not the kind where everyone gets facials (although [...]
my dream
i know what i’m going to do with the rest of my life. i know, it’s amazing — i’ve finally figured it out! and i’m so excited.
i’ll continue living the way i do now. i’ll keep living off my parents saving account and purchasing things i can’t afford. i won’t ever think of getting a [...]
i’m here. i’m home. surrounded by the people dearest to me.
and for the first time, i don’t really feel like writing. why would i when the people i write for are right here with me?
i’ll just let you know that i love my home, i love our christmas decorations, i love my [...]
shop till you drop
once again i bundled myself up, determined to finish my shopping. have i told you how much i hate christmas shopping? i thought i would love it, but after this past week i’ve decided that there is nothing more frustrating and stressful. i can never find the right thing or it’s too expensive or it’s [...]
all over
bags are packed and some have left already.
my first semester: over.
today i had to pack my two suitcases, clear off my shelves, and sort through all my papers from these last three months. i have two boxes in the basement here with huge scrawling handwritten letters that spell my name, “sinclair” on each. they hold [...]
little things
most piled into two vans, but a few special ones (like myself) who get rather queasy when it comes to long rides, were put in one of the school vans. at 8:00 in the morning and even before we were out of the driveway i found myself arguing for joni mitchell as another claimed that the “paved paradise” [...]
games
i’m not sure how it happened, but as we sat around the table, i suddenly found myself the only one talking (that’s not really the surprise) as the rest sat quietly and i told them of my daddy’s two brothers. i told of their likes — of arms being tickled and shoulders being rubbed and [...]
christmas time is here
one more week to enjoy my time here until break.
(aren’t you glad i put the “enjoy” in? now you know that i’m not hating it.)
and then i’m home…
i just feel like talking
Steve said we’ll have between 300-500 people here tomorrow night. Thomas asked me to sing the solo during the choir song, Mary Did You Know? i walked Valentina home and it was raining. Andy said that we should have snow sometime this week, but the rest of us disagree. Sara thinks i look and sound like Reba. Alison [...]
