I guess it's time for some goal-making:
1. Figure out how to wear fake eye lashes.
2. Convince myself i'm getting better by kissing some boys (not too many) and feeling like I really mean it.
3. Graduate.
4. Blog at least once a month just so that the stuff i did last summer and the boys I dated 2 years ago look further away than they do right now.
5. Read even just one verse of scripture every day.
6. Lose weight by eating less and having it always be healthy ( i think i still won't have tons of time to exercise beyond riding my bike around.)
(I have listened to Joni Mitchell's "Blue" so many times I don't even have to stop it to write this because I know it so well I don't have to listen.)
Is it strange to feel so inspired by funerals? I attended the funeral of Whitney's grandmother I guess mostly because I believe in going to funerals and most especially because Whitney was asked to speak. She did a fantastic job. I wish I would've recorded it. She illustrated so clearly all the ways this woman I'd never met had had such a positive and profound influence on her life. Whitney Joy would've never been Whitney Joy without her grandmother, Joy Whitney.
Maybe the strangest thing about funerals is that I always just feel like I need to have kids afterward. I never really feel like having kids. It's always something I want for the future, but never for the present. Maybe the two will meet up some day. Maybe after somebody's funeral. Maybe I'll name her Joy.

It was such a happy funeral! Thanks for being there!
i'm glad to see we share your first goal for the year.
This is just a test. I'll explain later. (It has nothing to do with your post which I haven't quite read yet)
Your two year old niece Hazel.
I felt so guilty not being there. I went to RaVoe's Dad's funeral, they're all good people. I'm glad you were able to be there.
I love your blog.
