my hair is so dirty
but i feel so ready
to face the world today.
i really need to get on with
seeing all of the people that i love
and i need to get to the bank
and prove to them that i am not a 
credit card stealing freakazoid.
rather, i am just EXCITED about going
to charleston in two weeks? to see 
danielle!

 i get really freaked out by the fact that ( Read more... )

 the flu
is not

 in an attempt to write at least something every day,
i will say this much:
i am starting to think that it is quite possible that

 i need to start memorizing poems again.

 all day
every day,
my mind is racing with
things to write in here
but when i sit down to type,
it is like i forget everything i ever wanted to say.

i do need a haircut though,
i'll say that much.
