Dudes.
So many things have happened, but I can’t think of them all right now. Hope all of your summers are going well!! :]
I’m pretty sure Zak’s mom’s in love with me. She talks to me about him all the time, runs things by me before she talks to him… she basically uses me as a sounding board. Also, she sent me a text with a ‘<3’ in it tonight when I told her we got to Lewisburg safely. She probably likes me because she’s never had a daughter before and I’m courteous...
Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for so long.
Things that have happened recently:
I started my internship.
I met a Maryland senator.
I met the executive director of the organization I’m working for, and she said, “Oh, you’re Alyssa? I’ve heard wonderful things about you!” after a day and a half of work. Excellent!
I got to hang out with Patpat!
I broke a chair in Zak’s dining room while Pat and Zak and...
Boyfriend just deep throated a banana!! :P
The doctor thinks it's a torn labrum.
Balls.
Surgery this summer, in DC.
We auditioned for Shakespeare in the Park...
They’re doing The Tempest. Zak read Ferdinand and I read Miranda.
Act 3, Scene 1
SCENE I. Before PROSPERO’S Cell. Enter FERDINAND, bearing a log FERDINAND There be some sports are painful, and their labour Delight in them sets off: some kinds of baseness Are nobly undergone and most poor matters Point to rich ends. This my mean task Would be as heavy...
Forever could never be long enough for me
to feel like I’ve had long enough with you.

Old Looks

You still look at me the way you used to. Stop it.
Dislike dislike dislike dislike. Dislike like woah. Clearly not liking this situation.
This time tomorrow, I'll be at the lake.
Wooo!!
Hey y'all...
I’m writing a paper on eroticism and pornography for my Women’s Studies class, and I’m doing a little research into what other people’s perceptions of both are. It’s a little surveymonkey link, it’s 6 questions long. Anyone who wants to is more than welcome to fill it out. Thanks so much! Happy Thursday. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LSS53F3

I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it This brokenness inside me might start healing Out here it’s like I’m someone else I thought that maybe I could find myself If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave Won’t take nothing but a memory From the house that built me
I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!!!!
It’s at the DC Rape Crisis Center doing mostly admin bitch work, but I’ll be trained as a hotline/advocacy volunteer as well.
Woo!!!! I’m freaking out.
Is there a way to stop sex trafficking?
It’s a major part of my paper, and I can’t think of anything.
I know that the bridges that I’ve burned along the way have left me with these walls and these scars that won’t go away and opening up has always been the hardest thing until you came So lay here beside me, just hold me and don’t let go this feelin’ I’m feelin’ is something I’ve never known and I just can’t take my eyes off you.
I've been doin' fine without you,
Forgettin’ all the love we once knew
And babe, I ain’t the one who slammed that door.
…Love don’t live here anymore.
Hey yelliphant!
Can you send me a message so I can answer your questions/tell me exactly what you want to know? (I’m so done with open ended questions at the moment, sorry.)
Public Safety,
you have screwed me in more ways than my boyfriend has, and that’s saying something.

It doesn’t feel like that long, but if feels like so much longer at the same time.
I can’t for the life of me figure out why we made such a big deal about it.
Ross is getting married.
I feel like I just got punched in the gut.
Even though I’m not in love with him anymore, it still hurts and I still want to cry about it.
I handled that exactly the way I wanted to.
I wanted to wait until I was calm, thinking rationally, and wouldn’t lose my temper, and I did just that. I’m rather proud of myself.
Don't Drop Everything

I would have dropped everything for you, and you couldn’t handle that.

To follow up:
I know you were half asleep. I know you were annoyed that I woke you up when you didn’t want to be awake. I know you’re tired. I know all of that. It still doesn’t give you the right to say that.
This is the only time you’ve ever spoken to me like that. I’m not okay with it. We’ll talk about it later, but right now I need to blog and be livid and get it out of...
"Then get me my book"?
What the fuck kind of response is that? No. Get off your ass and get your own fucking book. I’m not your fucking babysitter OR your secretary. You do not order me to do things. That is not in the job description of girlfriend, and if it is, I’m taking it out. Fuck that shit. Fuck the babysitting clause. I’m not okay with it. You’re a grown fucking man. After all the shit I...

41. Jane Austen, according to Ralph Waldo Emerson (1861) I am at a loss to understand why people hold Miss Austen’s novels at so high a rate, which seem to me vulgar in tone, sterile in artistic invention, imprisoned in their wretched conventions of English society, without genius, wit, or knowledge of the world.
I AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT.
