These guys always put a smile on my face..

Hurry!

Just wanted to remind everyone about this great offer! Stuff is going fast so you better come over and take what you'd like before its all gone! Sorry about the inconvenience yesterday with my door being locked and all, but I'm glad someone found my laundry in the dryer and got what you wanted out of it. So to everyone else, Hurry! This stuff is going like ribbons at the special olympics! Still available are my books, most of my clothes and pretty much everything personally sentimental to me, but not for long. Remember that you are entitled and so welcome to pillage anything you want. If you come in the next couple of days though, will you please remember to be quiet when you go into the room? My roommate is sick and needs her rest. Thanks!! :)

Please take notice!

To Everyone in the World, 

The door to my room is unlocked, my car, available for use. Whoever would like to come into my room and take whatever they need, feel free. I have a nice collection of records, some Journey, some Beatles, that could go for some good money online. Buffalo Exchange would probably take my clothes so you could get some new ones (or you could just wear them around campus). Please, take my books and enjoy them for yourself.  Its not like I need any of those things, and I definitely didn't save up or work hard for anything I own. 

Everything in my room, everything that I own, is available to take. Please use my car whenever convenient for you, the keys are in my purse (while you're in there don't forget to grab my cash and bank cards too) ...oh and don't bother to fill up the tank when you're done, just leave it empty. 

Please, do whatever you would like to my things, come rape, come pillage, come plunder. You are perfectly entitled and while were at it, welcome. 

The only thing I regret to say is if anyone is in need of a computer, you may have to look elsewhere, because someone already got to mine. 

Have a great day! Tell your friends! 

Quirky, Clutzy, Caring

At first, she talks faster than you can understand. She has a habit of losing well, everything. Jessie would say she always freaks out about something before she actually takes time to think about how simple it is. She also has a tendency to die her hair the wrong color. But despite these silly little things she has become apart of our lives and I was telling her yesterday, "Sam, I dont know what I would do without you". She fills our lives with joy. She makes me laugh so hard sometimes. Her sense of style is unmatched and she can pull anything off. I love the way she runs and the way she sits in her towel as long as possible before getting ready. She is free. She is spontaneous. She has a passion for youth that I haven't seen in anyone in a long time. She is a photographer, and a dang good one at that. She is creative. When Jessie gets her laughing really hard 10 minutes later she'll finally stop and take a breath. Oh ya, and she' s a brilliant writer.

Most of all I think she is beautiful. (at this point she may not agree) I see in her heart caring, love, sacrifice for others, concern. She brings laughter and joy into every situation.

Most of all I love that she says "whats going on buttercup?" when all I need is someone to listen.

Really? Again?

I'm currently sitting on my bed, looking over at a roommate who is so sick.

This afternoon I got out of class and came back to a note on my door that read, "Ben took me to the ER, doctor told me to go. Call." What would you think in a situation like that? Freak out a little maybe? Well, I honestly wasn't so surprised, you see, with this one I've done it before. :)

Last semester brought trips to the Urgent Care and pain medications gone wrong. This semester its headaches that don't go away for weeks...

It's hard to see the people I love hurting and I want to be able to just take the pain away from her. I hate that I can't.

the shoes i'm happy to walk in

Yesterday I found myself walking on the sidewalk, wearing my favorite brown shirt, a beanie and the only pair of shoes I like. Hanging on my shoulder was my camera, aperture and shutter speed set and ready to go. I realized, turning the corner, that this was another perfect moment. I feel like my life is full of those lately, times where I am doing something I love and everything, the setting, the people I'm with, the music playing in the background...everything is perfect.

I crossed the street and walked toward Noah, who had his guitar case open playing his newest song for all of Huntington to hear. I popped the lenscap off my camera and started shooting again, capturing on film, the story in my head.
