Writing my AP GoPo paper on the Arizona GOP...
and after six mind-numbing pages on the Republican electorate and the stances of the candidates on major issues, it is really hard to resist the urge to say that Romney will win the primary because surely Arizonans can’t be stupid enough to vote for Cain.
Somehow, I don’t think Holman will consider this a valid reason.

I am kind of torn
between wanting to buy a copy of Haruki Murakami’s latest and knowing that I will either a) get so absorbed in it that I don’t do any work or b) put it aside and then end up reading it ages late
and not buying it at all so I can wait for a time when I can read it and digest it and enjoy myself.
First world problems—I have them.

saythatyoullstay replied to your post: every Sunday night after watching Downton Abbey
girl why you telling me to watch this if all i’m gonna do is drown in my own tears?
because half the time it feels like this
but when good stuff happens it feels like this
and it totally makes up for the bad parts.
Oh, and also the costumes and sets are incredible, and the actors are all really...

every Sunday night after watching Downton Abbey
this is my expression

I just need someone to be happy please

I feel sick and my contact tore today during school, so my left eye is killing me. Frankly, I just want to be comfortable tomorrow because I know I’m going to be miserable. (Plus…conserving my energy for state quarterfinals on Saturday.)

I hate the Cardinals so, so, so much.
If you think they’re bad in the playoffs, try dealing with them in your division. It seems like their bitching gets worse/more annoying every year.
First thing I heard when I turned on the TV was Joe Buck lauding the brilliance of LaRussa. Almost turned it right back off. Yeah, I despise the Tigers being in the Twins’...

I am so proud of my team.
District champs after beating 4-1 the team that has beaten us twice this year; coming back strong after conceding the first goal; finally playing our best hockey and working together.
If we play like this for three more games, we’re going to win state.
(I played nearly the entire game and made all-tournament team, but honestly—forget that, forget my earlier anxieties; I am thrilled...

I started tonight for the first time in forever, and played nearly the whole game at right midfield. (What? What? I still can’t fathom this.) It does seem to be working—I’ve been playing well.
Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully this means I am back in the starting lineup and getting significant playing time.
