I Am Not A Reliable Narrator

I (singular present tense posssessive)

i am just about ready to lop my right foot off at the ankle.
i won't though, it would probably hurt more than the arthritis.
i wrote over 5000 words last week. i need more.
i'm trying to do this NaNoWriMo thing again this year, i know it's sort of silly but i need deadlines. i don't function well without them, so i'm pretending that i'll be graded at the end of november. a grade based entirely on quantity rather than quality. quality is the goal for next year, i just need the pages now.
i am drinking more coffee , lately than i have in years. i blame this office job of mine.
i am going to have the flat to myself this week because jeremy is in italy for business. it will be good to have the time but it will be quiet and i won't have anyone to blame for interruptions and distractions.


We (plural present tense cooperative)
we've been trying to buy a house, and it's really been freaking me out, but this weekend as we looked at back up flats and dreamed about the perfect kitchen i stopped being scared and started feeling excited. it was a really nice change.

we also saw the movie 'little miss sunshine' and i know it was kind of cliche and unrealistic but i really liked it. it was nice to see the images of the american west and the freeway bridges and the little girl who played olive was pretty awesome. i loved her red boots and her belly which was the little girl equivalent of kitten belly. i plan to steal all of her dance moves.

    I liked Little Miss Sunshine and saw it in full theater of people who were all laughing along so that was fun. I say who cares if it's cliched if it makes me laugh.

    Yay for the flat! I'm way too immature and a mess to think about buying my own house so I'm always impressed when people I know go through that process. Best of luck!

    yay for coffee, time alone and writing.

    i like that Little Miss Sunshine was just cliched enough to make it easy to watch and just challenging enough to have a couple surprises. i especially like the way steve carrell ran into the hotel. comic genius!

    see i'm pretty sure that i'm way too immature to be a home owner as well. luckily jeremy's all mature and orgaized and shit so that balances things out.
