I was with a group of people just a little while ago, and we were watching a movie called Cry Baby. Basically, it was Grease, sans John Travolta, plus Johnny Depp, and directed by John Waters ( Read more... )

It's so cold these nights. It makes you so aware of your skin; I'll walk in the cold and it's as if all of me that is exposed, lights up, and the air crawls under my skin and takes over. Everything is distilled into a living, electric pain. Even as I write this, my fingers are not listening to my brain. My hands take so long to warm up. It will be ( Read more... )

The things forbidden that while the Customs slept
I have crossed to Safety with? For I am There,
And what I would not part with I have kept.

Well, I'm in New York. My Grandma doesn't live in Queens anymore, but in Westchester county and the city's thirty minutes away. Today, we drove into Manhattan, walked around some, got a few things, and ate way-too much food at a way-too expensive restaurant. I wish I could just do something like go into the city by myself and walk around for a long ( Read more... )
