for the very first time

dear internet, i have had so many blogs on you! but let me try it this way.

my life is a series of gchats, bus rides, cameraphone pictures, episodes of "parks & recreation," burritos, library experiences, youth-oriented media, dog parks and sports games. this is probably what i will mostly talk about on the internet now, and forever, until the day my heart shrivels and i die.

before i went to work today, i went to starbucks, because let's face it, when i drink hot coffee now (considering the weather) i feel like the most uncomfortable human alive, and at this point in my i refuse to make myself iced coffee. just because of laziness, and because it will never be as delicious. also the ladies who work at the starbucks by my house are so wonderful! let me say why: they talk about my dogs as if they are people, but not in an unacceptable "this dog is my baby" way. just the right amount of anthropomorphizing tendencies will always endear me to anyone.

also they talk about coffee like it is important (of course it fucking is) but do not make make weird sitcom-style jokes about "caffing up" or "getting a fix."

anyway, i cannot wait to leave the library today because i won an award a while ago and it was published today in some kind of staff newsletter? (that i do not get) and so people keep talking to me about it and i am never, ever going to be able to graciously accept a compliment without feeling insane.

now here is a very important picture of my dogs.
