I read my favorite book, The Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger, over Easter weekend, and as usual, I cried uncontrollably. My mom found me sobbing, but wasn’t concerned, since she noticed the book in my hands. For some reason, though, I still felt like I owed her an explanation. Unfortunately, I can’t articulate, or even enunciate, anything when I cry. And as I thought about this, I realized something.

[Day 143] Good Guess!
“Travis, everybody you touch falls in love! Can’t you see that?! The only one who’s coming out of this whole deal empty-handed is you! It’s just not fair.†Continue reading “[Day 143] Good Guess!”
[Day 63] Video Girl
My day started off with a near-inability to get out of bed, followed by the realization that I’m developing a muffin top (google it). Then I ate an unsatisfying, silent breakfast, followed by a quick ten minutes of email checking and being threatened with having my door taken off its hinges. Not a great beginning, but I was determined to find something good about today. Continue reading “[Day 63] Video Girl”
[Day 38] Lost in Stereo
When I fall down, I laugh. When I run into something and bruise myself in some way, I laugh. This could be a result of higher levels of testosterone in my system, which is unlikely because I should have seen more radical symptoms by now. So the only other thing I can think of that would have caused this behavior is my upbringing. And by ‘upbringing’, I mean “one and two year old Bri running around the house with her dad tripping her as she runs past and then she laughs and starts running again”.

[Day 33] It’s thundering right now :)
Dear Sam (last name removed to protect the innocent),
Usually I start off my letters with a brief description of who I am, but you already know who I am, so we’ll skip that step. On August 19th of this year, I started a year-long blog project entitled “365 Days of Bri†to rediscover myself. I’ll add the details at the end of this letter, but for now I’ll just explain your part. Every day of the week I have a different task to do, at once I’ve completed it I have to write about the experience in the blog. On Sundays like today, my task is to write a thank you letter to someone I’ve never met. Continue reading “[Day 33] It’s thundering right now :)”
[Day 17] Ship Off, Ship Away
On November 16, I’m going to be a mess. Just understand that right now. Also understand that I really, really despise the Marines right now. No, no, I’m not one of those crazy hippies who protests wars or the military, it’s more of a personal issue. Yes, the Marines have personally offended me. How? They’re taking my best friend away from me. Continue reading “[Day 17] Ship Off, Ship Away”
[Day 14] Star-Struck Lovers
Yesterday was crap. I missed half of government to go to a two minute orthodontist appointment, where my orthodontist told me that I must be wearing my retainer a lot (LIES). Then I didn’t go home after school until three hours after school ended, because I went to get my allergy shot, then I went to get some dog food, then I got my brother a water bottle and dropped it off at his tennis practice. My allergy shot made my arm swell up and I was in pain, plus I got really stressed about my psychology test the next day and the fact that I have no money for college. On top of all this and a minor breakdown -tears included-Â I didn’t sleep all night. So. Yeah. Bad day. Continue reading “[Day 14] Star-Struck Lovers”
[Day 2] Old friends
Today was the day I had to give something away. Originally, I intended this to mean a physical thing, but then I realized the broadness of the phrase. Was it possible, then, that I could give something like a secret or a personal story away? I thought so.

What is Love?
Baby, don’t hurt me. [too late] Fun fact: my high school’s graduating class of ’09 used that song for their graduation song. Thoughts? I think it’s dumb.

I tried to warn you
So since the only three people blogging lately have been myself, my brother, and Cody (Scarface), you all have earned yourselves another depressing personal blog. Continue reading “I tried to warn you”
