well,

upon viewing this post on her site,

i stumbled upon
The Rockstar Diaries, a

BLOG that contained...

[wait, lemme catch my breath]

THIS POST...

** ** ** ** **

** ** ** **

** ** **

** **

that post is the stuff of my dreams:

a sunny afternoon,

my very own *bulldog*,

&

a

mother

f***in'

bull

friggin'

dog

birth

day

party!!

** ** ** ** **

** ** ** **

** ** **

Hooray!

Alleluia!

There are other people out

there like me!

Where are they??!!??!!

There's gotta be some in NY!

[well, i guess i'd need a bulldog first]

but...one day.

one day.

in the meantime,

i'll student teach for no pay,

& go to college for a few more months

& sit in a classroom listenin' to teachers

talk to me about stuff i already know,

stuff I've known since grade school

about teaching & life & learning...

...i'll do some more wondering around

this world in old, stretched out clothes

listening to my mom & dad argue every 20 seconds,

until the divorce between them is final,

& a whole NEW bunch of agonizingly painful

life changes arise from that.

** ** ** ** **

Wow.

i didn't expect this post to take that turn at the end there.

*wah wah wah*

gosh, you hear me?

hee hee.

i just know

[to be incredibly redundant]

that

*one day*

i'm gonna have my own bulldog. maybe 2.

...and it'll be great.

reflectively reflective

on this rainy Sunday mornin' in NYC,

*amanda*

i *heart* buLLdogs

okay, so this is the first time I'm bringing it up,

but for the past two years i have known...

for sure...

that one day...

...I will have my very own *bulldog* puppy.

photo found here.

i had me a dog growing up...my little pomeranian, Teddy.

we had to put him to sleep several years ago,

& it was so very hard for me to imagine having another dog.

as time goes on, I've been getting such a

palpable desire for a puppy in my life.

my heart's been set on a bulldog,

Here is a video my boyfriend took of me while in a pet shop in his neighborhood:

Once i see one, it's usually game over and he knows he's lost me for at least ten minutes in my own *goo goo gaa gaa* over-smiling & petting frenzy and *shnoogie oogie lumpkins* puppy tawk.

[deep sigh]

one day, readers...*one day*.
