Mom: You can't wear ballet flats on New Year's Eve. Why buy a cute dress if you're not going to wear heels?
me: Mom, nobody can see my shoes anyway.
Mom: No, but they can see your legs, and they look better in heels.
me: If a guy doesn't want to talk to me because my legs look stumpy in flats, then maybe I don't want to talk to him either. Same with whether or not he likes cats.
Mom: I have a bad feeling my hope for grandchildren rests with Kelsey or Brady.
Mom: [after a few hours of shopping] I'm about done. I shot my wad back there.
me: Never say that again.

G.Smit: I saw 'Bolt' yesterday.
me: Aw, I want to see that! Was it good?
G.Smit: Eh, it was alright. I don't really like animal humor.

Casey: You wanna come see a movie with me and Greg?
me: Sure.
Casey: OK, meet us at the theater at 4:45.
me: You have to pick me up. I sold my car when I moved to New York, remember?
Casey: Oh yeah. OK, well be ready when we come by. I'm honking the horn but I'm not getting out of my truck.
And you say we’re too young, but maybe...

me: I finally decided on your Christmas gift! I was thinking of knitting you a pair of cat socks to match mine.

Michael: I bought the Crazy Cat Lady action figure for you.
me: I saw that at the Union Square holiday market the other day, but my little sister said I couldn't buy it because then I'd never get married.
me: She is really concerned.
Michael: LISTEN TO ME.
Michael: YOU WILL NEVER GET MARRIED WHILE YOU STILL LIVE IN YOUR CAT'S BATHROOM!
Michael: I know you like your cat. I love Mr. Whiskers, my cat at my mom's.
Michael: But you are a young girl that is cute and STARTING to really know the city and have become very chic and urban.
Michael: Why have you ruined this with cat pee?

Living the dream
I’ve been spending my empty weekdays keeping busy — yesterday I followed Melissa around her law school campus like a lost puppy, and today I lurked around Starbucks until my computer battery died. It’s weird not having any responsibility to wake up at a certain time and work for nine hours. I go home next Thursday and am counting the days until I can escape to Texas and clear my mind...
