jd salinger passed away yesterday.
if you don't know who that is, you're not american.
holden caulfield will forever be my most favorite literary character. i had a hard time growing up. i didn't really know who i was until late in the game. like, maybe five years ago. maybe more like 2 years ago. i dunno.
i just know that holden made me feel normal. he made me laugh out loud. and cry. and feel all sorts of things i wouldn't have ever known were normal.
so rest in peace mr. salinger. and thank you for what you gave me. and so many other teenagers. a feeling of acceptance. and normalcy. it truly saved me.

About Me
- hannah
- i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
