Every once in a while, before I turned 13, I would have this overwhelming feeling of not being in control of my life. It was like a distinct awareness of living in a toy world, and although there were no strings attached to my limbs, I could sense the lack of choice I had in making my choices. It was so strange, but I miss that feeling.
Now whenever I feel like my life is out of control,...

I like that we can just lie on his bed together, with only our arms and shoulders touching, and feel so close. Probably because that’s the closest we’ve been, but still.
While he was walking me back to school today, Taylor mentioned how his room was really warm. I told him that I didn’t notice it because there was so much else to notice, and the temperature seemed insignificant...

I’m content to rot in my misanthropy. People are disgusting. No, just kidding. People are beautiful. You’re all beautiful; just not today.

Eight months of obsessing has finally led up to something.I spent about 4.5 hours with Taylor today (!). I love how fit he is - everything I lean on is firm, yet still soft and warm in a very human sort of way (no innuendos intended). The front of his hair does the swoosh back thing now. He tends to fall a step behind me sometimes, and since he’s literally a foot taller than me, it feels as...

Things I wrote in math class, part 1
Sometimes maybe there’s not enough air to go around. My hair smells like cigarettes because my friend was smoking earlier, and I like to sit with him when he does, because the scent is comforting. It reminds me of Paris. And my best memories of Paris were when I was quite young, so everything seemed perfect because I understood so little, and that made everything magical. Anything magical...

Thought process: Girls who marry men who are similar to their fathers. Things that people don’t really see happening until they are happening. Taylor. But he doesn’t know it yet. He’ll fall in love with me one day - he just doesn’t know it yet. What if we get married? We probably won’t. But if we did… is he like my father? & then there was a compare/contrast...

Some people say that girls marry men who remind them of their fathers. I’d been thinking about that a few days ago, and I could see it being true in my case (but I’m not even going to bother bringing this up with Allie, because, well, if she marries someone like her father… nope, the closest she would get to that is marrying someone who knows how to speak French).
I probably...

Things people tell me when I ask for stories:
“I got hit on by a group of 8th graders at the pool last week. And then their mom came, and I was like, okay, now this is gonna stop. But then the mom started hitting on me… and I was like, sigh, forgot to turn my swag off.”

Anecdote
Last week, Allie and I went to Urban Outfitters (because that clearly isn’t normal for us). I found a cute guy with glasses, and Allie found his dressing room. While he was trying on clothes, I slipped a receipt with my name and phone number under the dressing room door. Then Allie and I just dawdled around the store, which led to the guy having a chance to talk to us, followed by him...
