my feel good revolution

this is what i'm currently and violently thankful for:

  • my Wonder Woman mother
  • my grandmother who reminds me of how great a tool prayer really is. i admire her for being able to just give me a scripture to read off of the top of her head.
  • cheap used PS2 games and year-long warranties at GameStop
  • peppermint tea
  • Acetaminophen
  • freshly shaved and sugar-scrubbed legs
  • groceries [peppermint tea]!
  • Kareah presently being with my ex "fiancé" Larry and having his baby. and while i'm at it, i'm pretty thankful for all of the rotten things his family and friend-turned-baby's mother put me through (like his big sister trying to kick my ass). this was not the life for me! the cancer has rudely been cut out, but it's out. i didn't need any of that obviously.
  • having some campus cop randomly flirt with me and tell me that i look good
  • good books and my friends who love them almost as much as i do
  • the hope that comes with tomorrow
  • THRIFT STORES!
  • Pita Pit
  • my fiddling manfriend whom i think hung the moon and makes magic with his eyes
  • wet dreams starring comic book characters and the like that i get after i've been drinking
  • Tori Amos' music touching my soul. that woman transcends so much.
  • my family [living and not passed] which gets so much of my intense, hard love
  • never being able to tell someone how much i truly love them because words can't encompass such. it gives me something to always aim for when i see them.
  • eyeliner

Haha I love how most things were so detailed and then at the end you said eyeliner. I'm sure a lot of girls are very thankful for eyeliner.
