And we have repeatability. I believe I have properly entered the “going to bed in the morning” phase of summer vacation, although it’s a bit earlier in the summer than usual.

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.

Today my mom wasn’t home, so my eight year old sister asked me to set some words for her so she could write her daily sentences. I knew she did them every day, but I’ve never bothered to read them before.
My sister is a lot of things. She’s extremely smart, fairly quiet, and absolutely hilarious. But today I learned two new things about her:
a) my sister does not have a way with the written word
b) my sister is addicted to crack cocaine
I don’t know what the fuck she’s smoking but I want in on it sweet baby jesus I did not know what to do with myself while I was reading some of these
what is wrong with her
I don’t even understand what some of these mean
(things you should know: I am natalie, and her “silkys” are two little silk & velveteen blankets she’s slept with since she was born.)
Realization while drafting: revision indicates not falseness but care. Which means that this email may not be finished for a long time.

Need your help, PLEASE!
So I’ve been out here trying to get money for this trip to the UK for about 2 months, but I still need more. Here’s the description of what I’m trying to do here:
My name is Corinne and I’m a student at Reed College. Earlier this year, I met Frankie, who is an exchange student visiting this year only from southern England. We fell in love.
Now I’m trying to raise enough money so that I can accompany her back to the UK for a month or two as she gets settled into her last year at U of Sussex.
This translates to being separated across an ocean from the one I love the most for a whole year, so even an extra month is precious. Please help!
I’ve been working very hard this past year to make the money myself, but I am a full-time college student at a very work-heavy school and, what with the 2012 Olympics happening in London this summer, I only made half of the money I need.
Any contribution is appreciated, no matter how small. WE LOVE YOU!
I need about $300 more, bare minimum, to cover flight costs and gas to get to the airport (roadtripping to Boston to fly out). Any money will help, even a dollar. If you can’t spare that, which I totally understand, please signal boost! I’m desperate!! <3

The Nightwatch
Surveillance cameras observe a fox exploring the Tudor and Georgian rooms of the National Portrait Gallery at night.
Cultural fox is cultural.
Semi-legitimately cooked a meal for the first time in years. Yes, I’m pathetic. The immense sense of accomplishment and having finally eaten an honest-to-god meal combine to excite me quite a lot.
