...(or at least not 25) is the freedom to let Dashboard Confessional speak to my soul. Let's back up. I think the best thing about not being 25 yet is the excuse to listen to dashboard. One day I'll learn to articulate with my own words instead of someone else's, but for now I leave you with another song lyric post. It came up on my Pandora playlist this afternoon, and halfway through I caught the words and chuckled to myself. Enjoy.
I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
where I would impress you
with every single word I said.
Would come out insightful or brave or smooth or charming
and you'd want to call me
And I would be there every time
you'd need me
I'd be there every time...
But for now I'll look so longingly
waiting...
For you to want me, for you to need me, for you to notice me
**Disclaimer**
my one amendment: that i don't look so longingly.

the best thing about being 15...

Does this mean you officially lasted 6 days?
oh no. day six came and i was 17...which is a step up from 15 (and certainly a leap from 12). for instance, here's a sample of yesterday's 17-year old musings:
-...but he texted ME to get my feedback...
-...but he looked for me when it was all over...
-but he let me know his plans and said i was of course welcome to join if i'd like...
this, ladies, is unhealthy for me. here's the rationale:
-he thought i would have a similar reaction to crying multicultural winner girl
-i've been talking about this for weeks. face-to-face trumps text feedback any day, blah blah
-he was just invited himself and knows that i know the people there
17. 25. i can't decide what i want.
let's (i'll*) be honest. i want him to notice me. but today is another day. and today i have dashboard.
Jeff is the only one who thinks you "look so longingly..." and he doesn't know what he's talking about.
"The Look" = nonsense
