"any one could have missed that step"

Tonight me & dad went to the Mets game. It was awesome to spend some quality time together.
The Mets lost.
not pictured: dad falling up the stairs after trying to get a picture with Mr. Met.

if only duct tape could fix everything

we're all too small to talk to God

the good life.

there's more coming...

and like a terrible fart, i can't hold this one in any longer.
my heart is full. these are a couple of the reasons why.

best day ever

the class of 2008.

can't wait for warped tour.

next stop 34th street?

yesterday when i was on the train and old man with no front teeth asked
"...next stop thirty..thirty...?"
and i said "yep, 34th street".
"oh God Bless you thank you" he says
"no problem"
"what a beyootifull pin"
"thank you" i say
"my wife, back home, i would always try to buy her things, but no. she only would wear her wedding ring"
"oh, where are you from"
"Afghanistan" he says
"oh wow"
"i won scholarship to UCLA for Law to come here many years ago. the Taliban with their beards ruin everything".

we talk a little more when the train conductor says "this is 34th street"

"what nation are you from" he says
"queens"
"....and you are a queen, god bless, good night"

happy birthday to my best friend

i can officially say i've known him for half my life. Today the only boy that's never broken my heart & always loved me turned 12. This may be the creepiest blog post ever, but i dedicate it to my cat, Basil.
my Nana got me Basil for my 12th birthday bc our cats kept dieing of weird diseases. She told me she was going to get be a purebred cat that wouldn't come with any diseases - like kitty aids or leukemia. So, i got out the cat books and decided which breed i wanted. Originally it was a Scottish Fold bc they're scottish & like to swim and so am i (i'm wearing our swim team shirt in that pic up there - i still have it - actually what's more scary? this blog or having a shirt for 12 years?). Anyway, i think i was teetering between a Scottish Fold & a Siamese when i decided i'd get a Siamese bc they have blue eyes (like me) and kind of look like Casper - which i was obsessed with at the time. In fact, Basil's name was supposed to be Casper, but since he was show cat material, the breeder said that wasn't a proper name.

happy birthday to the best cat in the world!
