That Crest pro health toothpaste left a funny taste in my mouth

not sure if it's supposed to taste like that or not. So i finally got my copy of paper towns by john green. And it's actually pretty fabulous. So far atleast. ha ha i'm only on page 60 though. i took it as a recommendation from someone. most of the books i read are actually recommendations. like the shack, lullaby, paper towns... what else have i forgotten?

I'm supposed to be working on a resume to fax into a lawyer on monday, but i'm too easily distracted and i feel as though doing 2 sets of taxes in a day fulfills any requirements for having a productive and meaningful day. They're time consuming but they're really not as hard as everyone makes them out to be. But maybe that's just me. I've spent all day in my pj's. When i had to go get ice cream i just throw on jeans, and then got home and took them off and just watched Grey's anatomy while eating the ice cream. Wasn't as good as i'd hoped, which is a sign that you should just stick to what you like, rather than trying new mixes at coldstones. 

I'm going to see Jenny Lewis on April 13!!! i'm so excited. I really did want to go to coachella but i don't think that's going to happen. I've become obsessed with her and rilo kiley in about the last month and i was really excited that she's actually on tour right now. So i'll be posting one of each. Not much to talk about. Just got to get a somewhat early night for church tomorrow and also be coherent for a family BBQ after that. I've always wondered why my family has never had one of those big family reunions. I mean how often do you get to see family, other than immediate family and maybe grandparents and a few cousins? just a thought.

spring break is in 3 weeks. any ideas on what i should do? i'm strapped for cash and wont have a car... so i'll need realistic options, rather than being drunk 24/7 and completing my entire netflix list. So i also enjoy food but i'll have to be changing what i eat. I'll be on the low carb diet. I'll be a bitch for a while, hopefully eventually a skinny bitch. So consider yourself warned.

you are what you love - Jenny Lewis

This is no great illusion
When I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost
Or invisible reasons
To fall out of love and run screaming from our home

Because we live in a house of mirrors
We see our fears and everything
Our songs, faces, and second hand clothes
But more and more we're suffering
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
Will keep us from feeling so all alone

But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
Pleading for you to take me back

The phone is a fine invention
It allows me to talk endlessly to you
About nothing disguising my intentions
Which I'm afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue

It's a sleight of hand, a white soul band
The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Every morning upon waking
To you I'm a symbol or a monument
Your rite of passage to fufillment
But I'm not yours for the taking

But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
So I guess that's why you keep calling me back

I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
A coward who paints a bullshit canvas
Things that will never happen to me
But at arms length, it's Tim who said
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
Avoiding, avoiding everything

But you are what you love, Tim
And not what loves you back
And I'm in love with illusions
So saw me in half
I'm in love with tricks
So pull another rabbit out of your hat
