I always worry about you when you go missing for days. I never know if you’re hurt or just alone. I know I can’t baby you forever but I have to baby you for now since no one in your entire life ever has. I care. Come home safe and let me know so I don’t spend every day worrying about you. I love you
The plain dealer Friday section posted a lovely list the other day highlighting things to do this summer. I think that many of them are fabulous. Just the other day I spent the day at Mentor Headlands beach with my beau.
I’ve decided that I’m going to do my best to take some photos and get out and about. I’m a big city girl-working at the Cleveland Indians-and it’s time I take advantage of my youth.
Here is a link to the list of 100 things to do around Cleveland if you are interested.
Today I watched this random movie on IFC at like 9 am. My mom had turned it on before I came downstairs.
The Battle of Shaker Heights turned out to be a really fantastic indie flick with Shia Labeouf (Even Stevens era). It’s set in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a suburb just outside of Cleveland and somewhere I’ve been a trillion times.
I’m probably the one of the worlds top Cleveland fans so this movie was already thrilling to me. But don’t just think that’s why I love it! Watch this movie-it’s a cute indie with an interesting “growing up” story.

Hey devoted followers. I decided to take a hiatus since so much was going on in my life. It was my first year of college and I was absolutely struggling with the workload and lots of social things.
I was unfortunately placed with a terrible roommate, who was violent and unstable, stole my things, and continually smoked weed in our room causing a write-up. I then finally convinced the housing staff to allow either her or I to move out. She left. Later down the road I had a mediocre second roommate who was extremely selfish. She went to bed by 10 pm every day and would never allow me to have alone time in the room. She was a rough person to live with but at least she wasn’t crazy.
That brings me to another social strain. I left my boyfriend of two years. He failed out of community college twice and was having severe anxiety problems. We did not leave the house for a date or any public event for the majority of those two years. It was almost as if he feared public locations. I’m a little bit of a social butterfly (understatement) so I spent much of the relationship perpetually unhappy but tolerating it because I thought I knew what love was. No. Lol. I’m 19 years old-I don’t really know what love is.
But I do know what love is. I am dating my best friend. It is sort of like a soap opera or a cliche young adult novel. His name is Chad and he is wonderful if not a little quirky. I loved him as soon as we met three or four years ago. We stayed in limbo for a long time and he confessed his love to me about 6 months ago now. WE both have some growing up to do now but we’re happy. It’s hard to not be happy when you spend your time snuggled in the arms of your best friend. It’s only been a few weeks dating so I don’t want to exaggerate anything but we’re comfortable.
So now I’m on summer break. My dad is home every singlefuckingday. His obesity finally caught up to him and now he is on oxygen stemming from a bout of pneumonia and can’t work at the factory. We already hate each other so sitting every single day listening to him constantly berate and belittle me really does something for my self esteem. All I can say is I hope he goes back to work soon just so I can have some peace and quiet. At least I have my best friend around to keep me sane.
So that is an update on my life. You can read it or not. I just felt like I needed to explain where I went and why. When so much is thrown at you at once it’s hard to take time out to do the things you enjoy like blogging or knitting or playing music. I’ve bounced back and I’m going to make an effort to engage all of those who want to hear from me.
Thanks for reading some rambling.

This movie was hilariously awkward. I’ve seen the Saturday Night Live sketches but the movie was absolutely great. My friends and I couldn’t stop laughing. This was such a good movie to watch with friends on a Friday Night.

This movie wasn’t even B-Movie good. It was just stupid. I’m not going through the effort of making this a good post.
