I'm sorry, but it's true
I hope we can all agree that people living sedimentary lifestyles should expect health problems. -
Just wanted to preserve this quote somewhere so I don't forget about it

The Potential Death of the Hallway, or Leah Graduates from High School
Tonight I am a high school graduate.
For the rest of my life I am a high school graduate.
The ceremony was nice, in hindsight--during the actual event, it was cold and there was much standing and clapping and dignified walking and slight fear that I would forget some ceremonial detail...and it was nice. I smiled at a lot of classmates I hadn't really ( Read more... ) -
Time for Crappy Vaguely Unedited Old Poem!
The X’s on the calendar lie
like crossed swords, or bars on doors

And I wonder who set them there
Was it me, a different me

But whenever I came across the quote, my mind ( Read more... ) -

So this is from a year or so ago. I just felt like putting it here. Do I need a reason? I thought not ( Read more... ) -
Woo hoo! Poem!
A Very Special Sonnet

Though pronunciation's hard, still, I’ll try

One thing you must know about a sonnet:

There's a zen that comes at 3 AM...
I keep a notebook on my nightstand so that I can write down the sleepy ramblings (and occasionally valid lucid ideas) that come into my mind. I was flipping through it, looking for something about which to write (which, incidentally, I still need), and I felt like posting this:
"Take a look at how the organism functions. Part of why we eat the tree ( Read more... )
