It's sneaking in through the cracks in my skin; floating down with the sunlight and sifting into my body in microscopic increments. Squeezing in between cells, forging a path to the center of my body, where it will quietly begin to take control, from the inside out. My veins become a maze leading to the necessary destinations; my brain, my ( Read more... )

I had the music turned up loud so I wouldn't have to think, and I felt like I was driving into forever. Perhaps I should have been. It's like taking off your seatbelt, going sixty-five on a windy road, just to tempt fate and prove that tonight is okay. Playing songs whose beats send my brain an urgent message: run, run, run. I got to your door ( Read more... )

Maybe this is a declaration of self, or perhaps just a confession, but you should know by now that I'm a sucker for concepts. I will eat avocados just because they sound nice, even though I don't like them in the slightest. I will insist on falling asleep while watching the history channel even though I'm too tired to even see the television ( Read more... )

1. air versus water as a conductor of sound
2. don't worry, we don't breathe with our eyelids

I am ecstatic. I needed a job so badly, and now I have one! And...I already have a work buddy. :)

I need more days like today.

A couple weekends ago I lost a strip of photobooth pictures. Today I remembered that, and now I wonder where they ended up. It's odd to think that there are pictures of me floating around somewhere, and anyone could find them. It's kind of lovely, if you think about it. An anonymous connection ( Read more... )

Sometimes it's funny how life offsets the bad with something good. I'm sitting here listening to jazz that someone downloaded on my computer and just smiling to myself. I feel almost silly for getting so excited over such a little thing, but I can't help but to be ecstatic. It suddenly seems possible that I could end up at NYU after all ( Read more... )

If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, please post a memory of me.

It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened.
