It's cold outside, and Decemberists song seemed fitting. This is Oceanside.

IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Clean. Sort. Place. Label. Tape. Stack. Breathe. Repeat.

So...I've pretty much moved in here. I like the library, I love the library.
Is it weird to like the smell of books?

This Photograph pretty much sums up my feelings right now; My life being the sand castle. I want to smooch it... At least the bad parts. I'm not looking forward to yet another move, but it is necessary.

On a side note: If your friends ever say "hey, let's walk to the entire other end of this beach to get a bite to eat... it'll only take an hour or less"..... They're lying. This happened to me. It took almost five hours.... resulted in many pairs or sore feet, lots of sun burned skin, (thanks to Beau) may smooched sand castles, and this awesome photograph. It is one of my favourites. T'was a terrible idea to have such an adventure, but it was spent with great friends. All in all, I would do it again.

"The tick tock of the clock is painful, all sane and logical. I want to tear it off the wall."

Search, view, call, pack, repeat. I wish I could rid the world of boxes, at least my world. THINGS TO PURCHASE: New home, new life, new world.

I love this beach...

How to meet the girl or guy of your dreams... Fool proof.

Buy a falconer’s glove.

Approach the one you like wearing the falconers glove.

Ask “Excuse me, have you seen a falcon fly by here?”

Look up to the sky, hopeful/sad.

If he/she says “No,” look distraught and ask if he/she wouldn’t mind helping you look for your falcon.

No human being would ever turn down an opportunity like this.

Use the time you spend together searching for the falcon to get to know him/her.

At the end of your search (10 minutes) you will probably need consoling re: the loss of your one true friend.

By this point his/her interest in you based on the fact that you were able to put so much love and time into the raising of a falcon will more than ensure a second date, and from there it’s just a hop skip and a jump to marriage.

Good luck!

*NOTE: If by chance a falcon does appear out of nowhere, simply say ” (falcon’s name) I’ve missed you so much! Don’t ever scare me like that again!” Then offer to take the guy/girl to dinner for helping you find your lost falcon. Bonus: You just got a free falcon!

They say laughter is the best medicine... Every time I look at this photograph I believe it. Cheers to Sabes, the worlds best dog.
