my friend jason once told me i have a trademark jodi smirk. i call it my smarmy crushgrin. it’s a smile that cannot be kicked off my face and it totally tells everyone that i have something good on my mind and i’m not gonna tell you. so when i’m working the smarmy crushgrin i get a lot of ‘what? what! what are you up to?’

today i am rocking the smarmy crushgrin like nobody’s business. but the best part, or maybe it’s the weird part, i’m not sure. but the part that’s different is that i am currently not crushing on anyone. well not anyone new. i’ve been crushing on a dorky westernerd for the better part of a year, but that’s not a real crush, that’s an e-crush. other than, nothing.

but i am giddy today. i think it might be because, well, life’s been pretty good lately. which of course means i will be hit by lightning later tonight. but for right now we revel in the giddiness. i think it has a lot to do with writing class that starts on thursday. i am so excited for this class, and not just because of the vodo. i’m more excited for class, beause i just love it. plus, kelly’s gonna be there. and that rocks mightily.

i am in that ‘all is full of love’ mood, which creeps out most everyone i know. they’re more used to bitter and sarcastic and not joyful and huggy. this, of course, just feeds into the mood because it’s so much fun to creep everyone out.
