• Five years ago Emily was a bit of an idiot
• I love when people are protective of their friends
• I love it even more when people use that protectiveness and stand up for their friends
• I really hate messy breakups and people who force other people to make uncomfortable decisions
• Also people that feel the need to stick their nose in where it simply doesn't belong (seriously, folks, mind your business)
• Sometimes the best cure for a week of emotional ick is a weekend spent in your sweatpants, curled up in bed with a good book and your dog
• Emotional angst is good for my writing so I'm pretty sure I'm in for a 4.0 this quarter
• Maybe I should stop turning down the nice guys that ask me out
• I love my little hobbit hole but my landlady drives me nuts
• Why do fire alarm batteries always start to die and start shouting at you in the middle of the night?
• I am ridiculously awesome at my job and it's going to be great experience for when I finish this degree and go for an academic advisor position
• Even though my godfather has been an emotionally abusive jerk my entire life, I appreciate him buying me dinner and it was worth it to finally see my gran up in Chicago
• I am seriously dying to see The Judge this weekend
• Three hours of sleep is totally worth it when you spent the entire night with friends and your favorite on-leave soldier boy

• Some days I miss the quiet life I had in Arlington Heights with Maggie
• My dog is better at snuggling than everyone else on the planet
• I don't feel like dealing with anything serious right now so I'm just ignoring it until my own head space is better
