So, I get into this funk, I guess, whenever I do things like listen to Sum41 or read e. e. cummings, where I want to stop everything and never ever start again, this funk where I don't want to do anything else but listen to Sum41 or read e. e. cummings.

And it's seriously a cycle, because once it starts, total apathy sets in.

Like, I'll be in the ( Read more... )

So, seriously - if wasting weekends was an enterprise, I would be friggin Andrew Carnegie.  
And see, this analogy is made all the more legitimate because, as I'm sure Carnegie enjoyed being a fabulous steel tycoon, I happen to immensely enjoy my empty Saturday nights.

Like, tonight for instance.  I'm with Eddie, stuck keeping an eye on Jake and his ( Read more... )

There's a jar of Nutella in the cabinet.  It's been there for a little over a week, and it's already over half empty.  This would be totally normal in the average household, except I know for a fact that only one person has been eating this Nutella.  That one person, being me.  I know this because - being the sneaky/maybe a little chocolate selfish ( Read more... )

"What Sarah Said"

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and ( Read more... )

One day, I'm going to get away.

I'm going to get a new Ipod and fill it to the brink with nothing but Mat Kearney and Snow Patrol, and I'm going to get in a car and drive.

I'd like to think you'd miss me terribly, but maybe not.  Maybe I'm vain, and you wouldn't miss me at all.  I was told the other day that I'm naive, since I try to see "only the ( Read more... )

I'd like to think I'm a mess you'd wear with pride
Like some empty dress on the bed you've laid out for tonight.
Maybe I'll tell you sometime.
And you were right.

You were right.

Outside by your doorstep,
In a worn out suit and tie,
I'll wait
For you to come down,
Where you'll find me,
Where we'll shine.

Homecoming needs a post, but then, Homecoming posts are ( Read more... )

When the ground gives way, then your world collapses.
Maybe you just need to have faith.

Maybe if life was just one giant Gray's Anatomy voiceover, the world would be a better place.  We could all walk dramatically through empty hallways with stern gazes and perfectly curled hair, and no one in the world would criticize us or give us shit about ( Read more... )

Today, you all should know, happens to be the wonderful birthday of my dearest friend Miss Jessica, and so I hope you all wished her a happy happy birthday at least seven times, and baked her a lovely pineapple upside down cake, complete with fluffy vanilla frosting, a spoonful of sugar, and rainbow sprinkles on top.  Extra-credit for those of you ( Read more... )

HI.
So for those of you terribly ignorant people who don't know, yesterday, the Honda Civic tour arrived in Milwaukee.  And, for those of you very-terribly ignorant people, Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance were headlining.  And, for those of you who live under a rock, I WAS THERE. 
YEAH.
Now, I would start completely spazzing out right here and now ( Read more... )

I made a new friend today.  His name is Wally - actually, I named him, because he didn't have a name when we first met, bless his heart.  No parents either, poor guy.  He was born in a factory.  In truth, he wasn't even born at all; he was assembled...which is, in a way, even more harsh.  That's why I took pity on Wally, and named him. 
You see, ( Read more... )
