post script: alicia

waffles, putting syrup on waffles, pancake marathons, breakfast foods (obviously), experiencing autumn in as many states as possible, drinking massive amounts of hot chocolate made with water because it reminds me of band camp, almost believing that i might be able to one day participate in a triathalon, running around while listening to punk covers, obsessing over other people's relationships, being nosy but not acting on it, finding books that aren't painful to read, learning quilting blocks, listening to rain on skylights, not wasting gas, not being defined by the color of my nalgene bottle, wondering if captain crunch is really a pirate or just a glorified sailor, reliving my glory days of marching band, singing in the hallways when i think i am alone, watching the entire series of both buffy and angel, asking questions during television shows and movies, underestimating humanity, looking for the good in people, believing no one is unattractive, turning cartwheels, wondering what my postsecret would be if i had secrets, letting silly words fall out of my mouth, punctuation, editing anything, words, playing with words, car games involving telling stories or words, looking up words in the dictionary and underlining them so i know i have looked them up, mellophones, oregon, canada, tigger slippers, helping people write papers that are due in an hour and running said paper to geography office in previously mentioned tigger slippers, avoiding parental confrontation, sleeping in the darkest rooms possible just to see how much light really gets in, waiting for sunrise, wearing my blue princess skirt with my pirates/global warming shirt and feeling like anything is possible, asking ridiculous questions and making accidently whimsical statements, learning new words, sign language, remembering to wear my retainer to bed, wondering how to write outside the box, taking pictures to prove that life is really happening, cheering for both teams at sporting events, making faces regarding the a's move to fremont, comparing and contrasting ven diagrams and other sorts of diagrams, making up new sentences that are way better than the ones i made up for the word of the day, daydreaming about one day being a traffic reporter, learning about other people's relationships by asking side stepping questions and pretending i'm not as interested as i am, wondering what it's like to die, being distracted by sparkly things, text messaging, reviving the postal service by writing letters and postcards, enjoying the sound my clogs make on hardwood floors, randomly philosophical conversations, talking to strangers so they won't seem so strange, trying to remember how to play billy corgan songs on the piano, writing a petition to bring back the telegram, drinking water, flannel sheets, staying awake, getting lots of sleep...
