Lists

Tonight I sat down with
5 Englishmen/women,
a French homme
an Irish lass and
5 other Americans to eat:

a 19 lb turkey
potato and leak soup
two kinds of stuffing
two kinds of squash
10 lbs of mashed potatoes
corn bread (with optional chocolate sauce on top)
French bread muffins
chocolate cake
pumpkin pie
and apple pie.

We said we were thankful for
orgasms
vaginas
Olivia's beauty
and Caitlin's breasts.

I have
13 days
2 term papers
1 presentation
4 lectures
3 discussion sessions
4 final exams
one more AB adventure
and one walk across a stage
Until I'm finished with my undergraduate career.

I have
1 week to get my first grad school application in
1 "personal statement" that feels impossible to write
And 0 copies of my JCC transcripts. (Damn them!)

I also have
8 months of my life that I don't know what to do with and
0 solid leads of what I should do with it.

"Hey Facebook, Hands Off My Self-Esteem!"

I did this too.

Amazing.

I had chills on the night of Nov. 4th, and as I was jumping up and down with Patty and Wes, all I kept thinking was how I was going to remember when Obama was elected president for the rest of my life.



So amazing.

Reason #72 why I love David Sedaris

"I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

-David Sedaris on undecided voters

Also, behold the adorableness:

I am so damn excited for the election results tomorrow.
