"a lot of people go to school for 7 years..."

"...yeah, they're called doctors"
oh tommy boy...
hey, did i tell you that i've gone back to school? i've gone back to school. wanna see some things that i have learned?
school =  kind of hard.
school + work= definitely hard.
school + work + sleep = super hard. like, rocket science hard.
speaking of rocket science, i know a couple of rocket scientists. i'm cool like that.
the point is, i have given away all of my free time, and i have paid lots of money to do it. what was i thinking?!
i may have made a huge mistake...

well, i'd love to stay and chat, but i have homework to do. boo! homework = no fun. just in case you didn't know.

frankly, dear...

dear boys,

frankly,

me

sincerely musical

i wish my life came with a cleverly devised soundtrack. it would be so much easier to figure out what was going on and what might be coming next. alas, it doesn't work like that. not in real life anyway. in my head though...whole different story my friends. each moment of my life is accompanied by and internal soundtrack, perfectly orchestrated and everything. jealous? you should be. don't worry though, i'm not just bragging here, i'm leading up to something. something awesome. instead of my usual lamentations, i thought i'd share a little musical insight.

dear bram,
this is the song i hear in my head when we talk. listen closely and i think you'll understand why. also, this is the last time i'm going to write to you (unless something changes, that is). i refuse to continue having feelings for you if you refuse to reciprocate.
sincerely,
tired of waiting



dear rudy,
this is the song that runs through my head when we talk. also, i think you're pretty great.
sincerely,
enjoying our chats



dear babyface,
flirting with you is kinda fun, but this is the song i hear in my head as we do
sincerely,
way too old for you

love is like a fart: if you have to force it, it's probably crap

so, at church today we were talking about marriage (big surprise...) and we were asked to make a list of what we are looking for in future spouse. don't hate me, but i hate these lessons. anyway, i decided i would compile a list of deal breakers. i also decided that since i didn't get around to writing a "dear boys" post this week, i would share it with you. without further ado, here is my list-word for word, no amendments, honest to gravy list (which is now taking up residence on my refrigerator):

• alive
• younger than my parents, older than 18
• NOT super creepy
• doesn't make me want to punch him in the face on a regular basis
• tall-ish and/or under 1,000 pounds
• employed
• straight
• NOT a complete moron
• acceptable hygiene practices

you laugh like i'm joking. i'm not. the way i see it, you've gotta cast a wide net-you can always throw them back if they don't measure up, right?
