I miss my puppy.
Almost 12 years ago, my parents walked onto my elementary school playground during recess holding a wriggling black Labrador puppy. It had been about 10 months since we had to put our first dog, Buddy, to sleep. My dad had said it would be a long time before we got another dog, but when puppy season rolled around that spring, he couldn't resist ( Read more... ) -
Because I saw Housholder today and he told me to never stop writing...
I held a bird today.
We intentionally caught birds in soft nets so that we could band them for research and conservation purposes. Have I ever mentioned that I love my labs? I'm pretty sure that not everybody is lucky enough to get to go to their professor's house at 7 A.M., have breakfast, and then catch birds. Dr. Reber rocks.
We caught 8 ( Read more... ) -

Observations Made During the First 2 Weeks of 2nd Semester
I find joy in knowing that those people who look unnaturally tan in winter are going to be very ugly in a few years. Pale is sexy and I won't look like an old hag when I'm 30. Go me ( Read more... ) -
Random Nerdy Biological Question
So I was really bored today. And I'm a total nerd. And combining those things creates some interesting circumstances. Today, I started analyzing something and it still confuses me.
Is Jesus diploid or haploid? Does he have one set of chromosomes, or two sets like a normal person?
Any ideas? -
Til Death Do Us Part
Sometimes, when I'm really bored, I start looking at random things online. Tonight, I decided to explore LJ. I figured I'd look at other people's LJs, so I went to my friends. Somehow, I had completely forgotten that Andrew once had an LJ. Well, it's still there, but obviously he hasn't updated in forever. But I read it ( Read more... ) -
This Girl
In the folds of my mind lurks the image of a girl
Painting detailed sunsets to the smallest cloud curl
On useless, broken records and discarded, dirty bricks,
Painting with thistles, using pink lipsticks,
Navy shoe polish the shade of deep bays,
Dandelion yellow from the fields where she plays,
Red from deep cuts snaking down her arm
Dripping off ( Read more... ) -
New
The feeling
I experienced in that moment
was new to me. To calm myself,
I ran my hands down the length
of his arms
that had tightly embraced me just
moments before now. He had
pulled me into him, his lean body
enveloping me and
pressing ( Read more... ) -
Lust
The puppeteer incites a yearning,
an unspeakable churning,
a desperate cry for the exposed.
He overtakes strangers and lifetime lovers,
friends and new romances.
Doesn’t discriminate.
In hastiness, he forces a man
to rip encumbering clothing
from flushed flesh.
He causes a woman to let cloth
cascade down her satin skin,

The Atlas and Dissection Guide for Comparative Anatomy
(I wrote this poem as a complete joke about my experience in my comparative anatomy lab. I turned it in with my poetry project for fun, just wondering what my professor would think. I got an A on the project, and an A on this poem. He loved it, commenting that the last line was the "best closing line in class this semester". Hope you enjoy it ( Read more... )
