Adulting: Central adulting theme: Harden the fuck... →
adulting:
Sometimes, you will think to yourself, “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I have so, so much to do, and neither the will nor the energy to do any of it.” At this moment, there are two options:
• Go get back in bed, thus letting others and yourself down, or; • Harden the fuck up.
As far as I’m concerned,…

I’m three minutes in to the Da Vinci Code (yes, I’m watching a terrible movie on a Friday night— I have snacks and wine) and the accents are HORRIBLE. Everyone (both characters so far) sound like lost Count Choculas.
Oh now Tom Cruise is here lecturing some dumb students in a TED talk.
I want to be the rockstar professor you find in history books.

What a good, completely ridiculous birthday.
25 is going to be my year (well, one of many “my years”).
I will make it so.

I’ve run over 250 miles in the past four months.
This is somewhat unbelievable to me.
I feel so incredibly powerful realizing this. Powerful, and stunned.
That is all.

The Complex Sentence
The Complex Sentence
by Tony Hoagland
The kind Italian driver of the bus to Rome invited her to his house—she was obviously hungry—and gave her sandwiches and raped her.
All those years ago—she smiles while telling it—contemptuous, somehow of her younger self,
who drags behind her like a can. Grammar is great but who will write the sentence that includes the story of the damage to her soul

Boise Bound
Hey- I’m flying to Boise tomorrow to run the Race to Robie Creek (run, stagger, crawl. one of those). I won’t be bringing my computer (weird— I can’t think of the last time I didn’t travel with my lap top. High school?)— it’s going to be a well needed break.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend with lots of this:
