On nights when I have absolutely nothing to do with my life, I sometimes experience bouts of narcissism and wind up scrolling through and re-reading old entries ( Read more... )

Title: Playing by the Rules
Word Count: Who the hell even knows. 600-something.

( When they're five, fun is playing in the backyard with the scooter they share, and helmets Mom makes them wear for 'safety reasons.' )

Title: Scratch Paper
Word Count: 1,755

( The first is an old Safeway receipt, salvaged from the crack between the seats of his mother's rusty Datsun and smoothed out over the sun-split leather of the steering wheel... )

Can we just talk for a second about how I got dressed this morning, put my things in my bag, rode my bike across campus, took a Psych exam, and then realized - an hour after waking up - that my SHOES WERE ON THE WRONG FEET?

Yeah?

It's definitely true, you guys. I look at my feet while I walk sometimes because I'm shy or something, and today as I was ( Read more... )

So about these epic battles.

This fly, you guys. THIS FLY.

I went over to the window earlier to look outside, and RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES was this fly. So I moved my face over a little bit and THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE. And I was like, 'I DON'T WANT YOUR DISEASES IN MY ROOM, GET OUT,' because two guys in my building have staph infections and who knows ( Read more... )

In my other life, summer’s a superhero:

274 days spent waiting for
7,862,400 glorified moments of chalk-covered sidewalks,

39 weeks for
2,184 hours of asphalt-stained toes, and
iced-tea kisses, and

So here's the thing.

This happened to be the case with Greek, the new [or, old? Season finale's coming up soon] ABC Family show about college, and frat boys, and ( Read more... )

I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I expounded on this post from last night, and posted it at dh_epic_fail [which you should ALL JOIN if you haven't already. And I know for a FACT that you haven't already, because there are no special bolded names when I look at the User Info. SO GO].

( JK, I LIED, NOW UNDER A CUT. [I was all excited about being a rebel, too.] )

So more than a month ago, I replied to a meme on chopsticknoodle's journal - a 'give me a fandom, I'll give you a character, and you'll write me comment-fic' sort of thing.

I gave her FNL, she gave me Tim, and I never wrote anything.

GUESS WHOSE FAULT THAT WAS?

Anyway, so last night I was going through my writing folder, and found a half-finished something that I ( Read more... )
