I write letters...
Simply because tears well up and my voice shakes when I say the hard things. When I say what I mean.

0livetree:
This thought came into my mind last night. Just think, what if that girl you hated and gossiped about died tomorrow? I know it’s a depressing thing to think about. A lot of us don’t want to touch even the slightest upon death, and some of us seem to be death enthusiasts. But just open up your…
- I have seen so much of this. Too much of this. You are backed.
Watching “Chicken Little”. Laura and Spencer. In the living room.
Laura: “Why does that pig have such small legs?” Spencer: “Because he’s fat and its funny.”
Its real, guys...
I’m seriously listening to a conversation concerning someone moving the places people sit in a pew. Evidently its a problem. The deacons don’t get front row anymore. Frankly, my dear… I think they’re missing the point.
WatchIts an hour of truth.
laurajones asked: oh i love that mug! i don't care that i found it at a thrift store! it's just ironic that i make pottery and yet my favorite mug is a commercially produced gift shop item.

I've discovered your acoustic project on myspace and I literally adore with all of my heart. You have a gift for writing, woman. :) Loved seeing you the other night, your great. Finish-up tour strong. 'Til then, God bless my dear.

Sometimes I would like to know what other people would think about what I’m thinking. I think this is a general consensus. We all need communication.

Yeah. I read this to the boys. Much rejoicing.
...and it's worth fighting for.
Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.
dielike-dogs asked: You are a lovely lady, and I hope you have the best birthday ever.
I love you so much, and miss you dearly!

The harsher grace:
As we drive along the roads in Florida, I was accosted by the hypocrisy in my blood. I have a terrible time with traffic. It sets my nerves on edge and causes me to be irritable. This is all caused by the blatant unobservant carelessness of drivers. The teenagers on cell phones, the speeding dare devils whipping in and out of the lanes. Angry minivans and vindictive aggressors. There is a severity...
I love tour. We played this anarchist collective last show with a super rad local hardcore band. We bought sick patches and ate at this sweet little coffee shop. I also got myself a good putting-into-place. We’re playing The Rutledge tonight. If Nashville be your place of residence we would love to meet you.

Its the day I was born. 23 years ago. I get a show with friends in Chattanooga. Tomorrow begins a two day stint in Nashville. Tour happens to be a wonderful conglomeration of lack of sleep and company. We stayed up till two a.m. last night at a restaurant, laughing at everything imaginable after playing a show with a lot of really sweet kids in attendance. It was one of those experiences that...
