My Dad sounds just like I do when he cooks I realized.

We’re both fine on our own, but if Mom is around, suddenly we’re super dependent and feel the need to defer to her on every decision. We both will constantly call out for her.  It doesn’t even matter where she is in the house. And we both say out loud what we’re going to do next, probably for Mom to hear.

“Ok, I’m reducing the heat! Chris! Chris?! I’m reducing the heat! The package says to reduce the heat!!!”

And we both, without a doubt, will quickly become increasingly panicked and hysterical.

“Mom do you think my cookies are done yet? Do you think they’re done? I think they’re done! Mom?! MOM!… NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY COOKIES!”

I’ve decided to become a professional professional.

Suiting up!

It is my calling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…I might need another blazer.

Marija, ok I was lying down on my bed

kinda like how am I now, ok exactly how I am now because I haven’t moved and it was the last pistachio in the bag that I had to buy with stolen money, only 3 dollars and I had to crack it open with my teeth because it had absolutely no opening and when I opened it, it had no pistachio in it and I’m like the fuck… damnit. I looked around a little bit as much as my body would let me and then gave up. I watched that One Direction video you sent me. And then…I found the last pistachio in my hair. Tucked under my layers of hair, just north of my left boob. I was equal parts surprised and happy. So I ate it and then quickly came to your wall to tell you about it.

Marija. I ate the dairy.

Did you know that asiago and artichoke dip has dairy in it? My stomach knows. I thought I was being healthy. I thought I was eating vegetables. The packaging is green! What’s asiago anyway? Did I spell that right? Is it a vegetable? A flavour? I didn’t even eat it once. I ate it again the next day. And the day after that. Why do I do things that I know will hurt me? I need to be stopped. I am an animal. It just tasted so good.

Marija… remind me to never cut my own hair again.

I just looked at all my photos and I always have some kind of fucked up hair because I have a fucked up haircut. Because I decided to cut my own fucking hair. Wonky bangs all over the damn place. I need to be at a place in life where I don’t have fucked up hair.

Marija I have to tell you something funny.

One time it was late at night, kind of like now, and I was listening to music with my headphones on, kind of like now, and I guess I really got into whatever I was listening to because I started singing and I guess kind of loudly because my parents started yelling at me to shut up from their room next door. I thought they were sleeping. They weren’t. They were listening to me sing.

I feel like I’m constantly anticipating the days.

For something. I’m always waiting for something. That should be exciting right? Except I feel like I get fixated on it and then it’s all I can think about. It’s like there’s a mental block. I literally just keep thinking about the same thing over and over.  And then it comes and I feel better but it’s like I can’t even process it because suddenly it’s here and it’s only not been here for the last few days that I’ve been anticipating it. I can’t even see it because I’m looking too hard. I can’t even take it in.

I’m literally talking about getting paid. It sounded a lot more mysterious and ambiguous when I didn’t say what I was actually talking about.
