clearly i’m happy adele made the list, but i’m most pleased with electric feel. mostly because that video makes me realize that a) mgmt is majorly trippy, and b) that some people really do dance as awkwardly as me!

oh, family.
(my cousins, my brother's girlfriend and i are discussing the book Stargirl on my porch)
Jamie: I loved Stargirl! She had a pet rat, right? And a ukelele?
Amy: For serious, I was way obsessed. Like, my biggest dream in life, aside from marrying Ben Harper, is to play Stargirl in a movie.
Caroline: Oh my god, you would be perfect for that!
Amy: I know, right!?
Caitlin: Whoa whoa whoa. I've never read it, but i'm just imagining a movie where Amy shows up as this new girl and she's like, "Bahhhhh I'm so different" and everyone's like, "You're weird," and she's all, "Here's my pet rat and my ukelele!" and everyone is like "AWESOME!" and then the end. Roll credits.
woot

oh how i love my big brother
Cary: (opens a present with some clothes from Mom in it) Yeah, i think i'm probably gonna take this vest back and exchange it for a regular sweater.
Amy: See, I like vests on guys. I think it would look good on you.
Cary: Because I'm obviously going to take wardrobe advice from a girl who dresses like a mix between a hobo and a librarian every day. Thanks, Tito.
Amy: (deftly throws a boot into Cary's head)

on my couch. in my living room. at my house. near the stockings hung over the fire and the new cozy rug on the floor. with my dog sprawled across my stomach.
