hues of december blues
The weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
December has coolly strode into my schedule, and though soft white snowflakes dance in lazy circles outside my window, I must remain by my table and my textbooks. Multi-coloured pens are thrown carelessly on the table ( Read more... ) -

I would be looking at everything but my classmates and old Mrs. Jones as she taught the class in her square, prudish manner. I knew what was going to follow: a short ( Read more... ) -
better than a staggette party
staggette - n, [sta-get]
definition: The bride's party before the wedding. May involve strippers and alcohol.
I recently came across this word in my general perusal of the internet. Of course, it is not that I am having a staggette party - I live in the city, I'm too young for that - but still, the term set me off. A staggette party? It was ( Read more... )
