It so rarely occurs to me, when participating in institutions rooted in specific buildings, that this, too, shall pass.<br /><br />I can't stop staring at the wall with the mural's paint mostly peeled off.

This is my favoritest thing in the world to do, so I'm happy when other people appreciate it too. <br /><br />Blonde - I was always afraid that as I got older, life would speed up and go by really fast. But it seems like the better I get, the slower it goes by. <br /><br />Ells - I am okay with this nickname only as long as your mental picture of me includes demon fire shooting eyes and a vague Liza Minelli impression.Bridget Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729980008876962813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-43147253180298079752010-05-12T22:25:31.561-04:002010-05-12T22:25:31.561-04:00Have I mentioned yet that my nickname for you insi...Have I mentioned yet that my nickname for you inside my head is now "Sweet Monkey Chaps?" Well my Sweet Monkey Chaps, it is.

There were drugs and boys and tons of defiance. It was not defining. My actual high school, an all girls prep school, was super fantastic at teaching, so I learned A LOT. <br /><br />Everything before 2001 is a general blur for me.
