I have just decided to be happy.
Anyway. Like, despite the times that would make me feel unhappy. I mean, I’d rather not wait around for everything to line up before I can be like, high-five, world! You and I should be friends. We’re both tall and we both like to dance–what else do you need?
Can you do that? I’m about to find out. And I will tell you some things that make me happy. Things that I saw. Today. On one of those early March Saturdays that deceptively lead you to believe a long dress, tall socks, beat up boots, and a little denim jacket are enough to keep you warm. What a jokester you are, March. Cause it got cold. Colder than you led me to believe it would. And the way your wind whips my hair about and makes my dress look like saran wrap, all tight to my legs like that, sure is something else. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
But I saw three foxes today.
I have decided that seeing a fox means that something very good is about to happen. It also means that something very good is already happening. Cause, the fox. That you’re seeing. I mean, obviously.
Okay, so cheers to the happiness that may or may not be ours for the taking, but I am feeling gutsy enough to try taking it anyway.

this is what you’d call practical. informative. bulleted.

Here is some news, in no particular order:
- There is a song at the end of this.
- My wonderful friend John is giving me his apartment in NYC for March through June. I will be living in Chelsea. By myself. Whoa. Awesome. Scary. But more awesome. And I will be coming back to good old PA quite a bit, too. And I will still be playing Paper Janes shows. And I will still be me (just in case you guys wondered).
- Speaking of the Paper Janes, we have two shows next week: one on Wednesday at Lickety Split on South Street in Philly. And one on Thursday at Mojo Main on Main Street in Newark. This is exciting. There’s not much I’d rather be doing than music. Like, ever.
- I lost my deodorant. This is not exciting. It is actually annoying. Luckily, it’s pretty cold outside, so deodorant is not as necessary as it is in, say, August. But still, I danced a lot last night. And then I went to the gym today. And sometimes I get embarrassed and get kind of hot feeling. And well, all this adds up to me purchasing new deodorant when I have some perfectly fine deodorant somewhere, which is annoying.
- I will not be moving to Austin, TX in the fall. I did not get accepted to that school. I read the no thank you email and actually felt relief. I didn’t want to go to Texas (no offense, Mandy! I do want to see you, however!). It felt just like: thank goodness God doesn’t want me to go either.
- My pop gave me a tutorial on how to hear God’s voice tonight. It was really kind of him. It reminded me of homeschooling back in the day. Only the lesson wasn’t in the morning, so I didn’t yawn quite as much as I used to when he taught me lessons. Sorry pop, it wasn’t that you were boring; it was just that you were teaching me in the morning.
- And now I am gonna see if I can bullet a song.
- just be
- Turns out, I can.

Today I wore my hair in two braids. Okay, so I could honestly say that sentence every day since Wednesday of this week. It’s just that I’ve not been able to braid my hair for so long now, that it was quite exciting once I realized I’ve achieved braiding length. Exciting enough to last five [...]
