i am hesitant to write about days like today on a day like today ( Read more... )

writing here feels like some kind of novelty, but if i get verbose i don't like to weigh down tumblr. it seems to be crowd of pictures only: images that look to have been taken through fogged glass of ankles on mattresses or heavily-mascara'd women with their eyes on the ground. sometimes i wonder.

lately i am all kinds of stressed and funky and not ( Read more... )

today i start reading the bell jar. i guess this means i can join the rest of the world ( Read more... )

what if instead of an english major, i was a gardener? what if i chose to spend my time learning from the earth.

right now, i am accidentally drunk on the sunday night before finals week, and so the ability to stylize the thoughts in my head is escaping me. instead, a list:

it's 1am. i have class at 10am. bus at 9.30. something is wrong with me because i am DREADING this school year starting like no other. actually, it makes perfect sense. my life's a dream. and it's summery. and i spent a long time building it to be like this and long time waiting for it, and frankly, i want to keep enjoying it. and frankly, the ( Read more... )

today i went to the grocery store with my little brother to buy BERRY FLAVORED MT. DEW like a twelve year old boy (he's 14, JUSTIFIED), and i wanted to high five everyone i passed. there was a little girl pushing a baby doll stroller, and i gushed. on a whim, we decided to make dinner, including potato salad and a pie to celebrate father's day. no ( Read more... )
