what is love?
I've been blogging like crazy...But that's what being home does to me because I feel the need to share these ideas...But I've only seen my family the past three days and they've had 20 years to learn how to tune out my neediness.
So, I've been thinking about romance. Seeing as reuniting with friends inevitably involves discussing love lives.
And I've been thinking a lot about comfortable clothing...and how that's all I want to wear anymore. Warm, snuggly, comfortable clothes.
So put those two together and I realized what I find romantic...
I think if a boy ever bought me an article of clothing (we're talking a hoodie, flannel shirt, cool t-shirt, hat etc...) I would be soooo impressed and wooed.
So I started to make a list of other things I find romantic, but I was afraid that spilling those sort of secrets on the internet might lead to my downfall. So I will leave you with just that one tidbit.

twittog
these are "tweets" i thought of today.
it's been twenty minutes of shopping and two ladies have full-on run into me...accidentally.
make-up is something that is beyond my comprehension, but i am really good at smiling and nodding and providing feedback while my mom and her clinque friend talk lip liner.
having no chest takes any fun that there may have otherwise been out of bra shopping.
articles of flannel clothing tried on: eight.
how is it that salem has a coffee shop on every corner and provo has one in the entire city?
kitchen dance party to christmas music? heck yes.
"i don't like this version of 'baby it's cold outside' it's not seductive enough."
nothing says the day after thanksgiving like stuffing yourself with thai food.
decorating the christmas tree=watching my mom and dad put lights on while my little brother jumps on me.
"i'm so used to laika that i forget that other dogs aren't blind and won't run into you when you try to pet them."
"it's time to de-pumpkin this house."
"how many christmas decoration boxes are there?"
"15. plus two big ones."
family is watching Tarzan. i think i could be happy with a man in dreds in a loin cloth.
day after thanksgiving=christmas sweater+slippers
decorating the christmas tree=boys climbing all over the ladder, me getting called bossy and lazy alternatingly, dad sitting on the couch, mom directing everyone
casualties: two ornaments (and counting)

i'm proud of myself
weighed myself this morning.
and again just now.
five pound difference.
and i think that sums up my thanksgiving.

the brothers bloom
After 3.5 viewings The Brothers Bloom is still a near perfect movie.
love the soundtrack.
"i'm not a planner, i just do stuff."
"it's a lie that tells the truth."
"i don't know about truth...a photograph is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know."
"i think a little real danger might suit me."
"we're going to live like we're telling the best story of all. are you ready?"
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, on the other hand, is not.

ugh.
turns out i'm afraid of absolutely everything.
well, except public speaking, the number one fear.
and death the number two.
but everything besides that.

my friend the AI
So at OMSI they had this computer-bot that was made in 1995 who would respond back to things you said. And I had a very amusing conversation with it, here are some excerpts...
me: i need you in my life
ALICE: when do you need that by?
me: asap
me: how many people have you dated?
ALICE: About undefined people per day, or undefined.
me: so you play the field
ALICE: interesting deduction. That's good information: Ren said I play the field.
me: what is your favorite television show?
ALICE: STAR TREK VOYAGER
me: do you think we should date?
ALICE: what do your family memebers think?
me: is your name really Alice?
A: For Real.
me: Are you for real?
A: Yes I am real AI.
me: Do you love me?
A: Yes, I love everyone
me: That's sweet.
A: I am delighted to sweeten your life, Ren.
me: I am delighted to have it sweetened
A: I am glad to hear that you are delighted to have it sweetened
me: I am glad to hear that you are glad to hear that I am delighted to have it sweetened
A: Your happiness adds to the delight of all.
me: how many boyfriends should a person have?
A: about one million
A: Do you prefer books or TV?
me: TV, baby
A: Don't call me baby.
The funny thing is...Talking with ALICE was not unlike what talking with many of you is like.

as if i needed more reasons to love my mother
she picks me up from the airport (late, because she was visiting someone in the hospital) and the second thing that comes out of her mouth is, "You hungry? The shops close in an hour, let's go and we can eat after that!"
we proceeded to run through the shops
and then eat an almond pretzel, boba drinks, and then we went to Burger King.
she made me an omlette this morning.
she took us all to OMSI today.
where we put on a puppet show with meerkats, among other things.
she shared a chocolate milkshake with me.
on the way up she cross-stitched and we had girl talk in the back of the car.
and on the way home she let me fall asleep on her.
she is making me a flannel dress!!
we are now on her bed (which is bright green with white and black flowers, very chic) watching gilmore girls and eat grapes.
and i've only been home for 24 hours.
