[3:00:08 PM] Sarah LovesJo says: except I don’t sleep with any of you

I have too many thoughts.

So I just made a book recommendation to Graham– Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell. I told him it was in my Top Five Favorite nonfiction books (which it is) but it got me thinking…

I’ve always preferred fiction to nonfiction. I like stories, I’m an author, it comes with the territory. But in a way, I feel like we’re TAUGHT to be like that.

I keep thinking back to, like, second grade, when you’re taught how the library works. There’s Fiction, which has all the awesome books with colorful pictures and the nice librarian lady reads to you; and there’s Nonfiction, which has, y’know, the biography of Rosa Parks (which is, I’m convinced, the first nonfiction book to which any elementary schooler is introduced.) Even the name is lame. It’s “non-fiction.” It tells you what it ISN’T instead of what it IS. It’s… discouraging.

Um… yeah. /rant.

Okay, okay, last one frealz this time!

[11:51:41 PM] Jerry says: “Soyleft green MUFFIN: it’s got muff in”
[11:51:45 PM] Leah Bartels says: my dad was flipping through the paper this morning
[11:51:45 PM] Sarah LovesJo says: DO YOU WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM?

EDIT TO THE EDIT:

You are never leaving your house for an extended period of time without a phone charger again.

So cute, you may just die.

Look Hayley, it’s YOU!

Okay, that’s the last one for tonight. Unless I finish Catcher.

Typos ftw

[8:56:40 PM] Marlena says: I just went to youtube.com/hayleygohoover
[8:56:52 PM] Leah Bartels says: “Hayley, I CHOOSE YOU.”
[8:56:57 PM] Skye says: hah fail.
[8:56:59 PM] Marlena says: hahahahahahah

 

… see the thing about you being away from the internet with a dead phone is that I update this bitch like CRAY CRAY. Two posts in ten minutes? gsus.

NEOPHYTES.

Me: “Mom, have you ever read The Catcher in the Rye?“
Mom: “Never in my life.”
Me: “You should. It’s good. I’ll lend it to you when I’m done.”
Dad: “… is that the one with East Egg and West Egg?”
Me: “…”
Dad: “?”
Me: “… that’s The Great Gatsby, Dad.”
Dad: “So… so, is that the one at Pencey Prep?”
Me: “Yes, Dad.”
Dad: “That’s the Lawrenceville School.”
Mom: “The Catcher in the Rye takes place in New Jersey?”
Me: “No, it’s just BASED off a… nevermind. I’m going back upstairs.”

Oh my GOD.

Graham just texted me this gorgeous picture of the sun setting in Akron. “I know this is corny and whatnot but I can’t help myself. I know you can’t be with me in person, but would you watch this sunset with me?”

Thank you.

THANK YOU.

“Really, REALLY. THANK YOU.”

In reference to prayer

It will take a lot more than that for you to creep me out, you paranoid freak. Religion doesn’t scare me… I have some of it myself.

<3

you stupid akron people are giving me a complex

Both of you need computers of your own. And YOU, lameass, need a later bed time.

But in seriousness (or as serious as this blog gets,) because of the questionable nature of your internet access, I have this constant nagging feeling, whenever I talk to you, like you’re going to leave at any moment. And so even when you’re on for hours at a time, however long you stay isn’t enough. And I use “you” here collectively.

Graham at least is a gentleman and says goodbye before he leaves. Unlike SOME people.

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it to you already…

… but you should SERIOUSLY read The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. I’m about three quarters of the way through, and I am really enjoying this book.

kthxbai.
