Make Me Scream
Make me Bleed
Make Me feel
like a real human being
I have nothing against this poem or other poems like this, I just want to point this out. Why do we need to refer to pain to justify our realness as human beings?

Secrets in the Rain
Can you hear the rain whispering to your roots like a secret that remains untouched but echoes loudly in the confines of the room.
In the morning the trees will glisten emerald green water droplets striking your head or falling silently on your feet.
Cars will rush past in the dizzying heat, a reminder of the towns you’ve only ever known in your dreams that rush at you in a vacuum and...

Life Lesson #31
Finish what you started. See everything through to the end.
Whether it’s replacing the trash bag after taking out the trash or finishing the manuscript even after deciding it’s a horrible story, don’t let things go half-completed.

Together ends today. Today ends tomorrow. Tomorrow begins when sleep ends. Sleep ends our final breaths of life.

Looking at the giant list of people certain tumblr’s are following, I think to myself, “Wow, what a beautiful array of colors.”

I don’t understand this ice cream truck business. Why can’t it come during the day when it’s actually hot out? Why is it driving around now when it’s cold and dark out?

a little sandwich
It’s a little salty but first you taste the cold sweet tomatoes. Only as an afterthought does the salty cheese hit your tongue. You wouldn’t even know there was homemade hummus spread on there but you know and just can’t really taste it. The cheese blocks out everything.

She stays in the room and naps for hours at a time while I work for hours at a time to pay the rent and energy bill. She invites friends over and has a ball while I sit and read manga, try to do homework, or talk to my boyfriend over their noise. If I invite my boyfriend over, her face clouds into silent anger and she barely manages a muttered hello. She’ll fall into an angered huff of...

Cherry Blossoms
A mere three weeks flew by in the blink of an eye No more soft white petals to dot the sky A few drops there before rain drops everywhere Now the petals blow away without a goodbye.

A few weeks ago the cherry blossoms along my street all started blooming their little pink petals and actually brought some...

How long has it been since I’ve looked out through the kitchen sink window and seen bright, water-logged grass, overgrown from lack of trimming. It has been a very long winter. For once, I’m excited for spring and summer.

I realized how nerdy I am when I was typing in someone’s credit card number and rather than registering a sequence as one three three seven I read it as 1337.
If you know what I’m talking about, you’re pretty nerdy too.

What I actually meant, “They’re like little monkeys. Little hot foreign monkeys.”

You are incredibly awesome. The sound of a schwa is simple “uhh” so you’re bound to say it eventually. You don’t even have to try that hard! =D Unless you want to say the actual word. That’s even more awesome.

The silence
coupled with yesterday’s fallen flower petals scattering and rolling in the wind seemed to me as if I were somewhere in the Wild West watching tumbleweed.

My first blog was named “Variations on a Theme”. I say was because then I changed it. It wasn’t really my first blog, but it was the first blog I decided to take seriously. I still have it.Shameless advertising here. But recently I encountered the phrase Variations on a Theme again and I remembered how much I liked it. Obviously I did because I named my blog after it. But I...

Only 1 1/2 more months until I'm out of this hell...
it was only one or two at the time, but it started to increase. if you weren’t around i’d put on my jacket, stick the pack and lighter into my pocket, ashamed that i was forcing these drugs to make my mind feel better. then i’d walk to the sixth floor of that parking deck, and even though the view sucked i’d stand up there for hours, it felt like, clearing my mind while...

we make our skills seem great. other people think we’re talking big and read ahead.
how do we separate the good from the bad if everyone gets the same number of views?

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread — Joy the Baker →
I have happened upon this page four times or so in the past few weeks. By chance. I think it’s a sign that I must make this deliciousness and also begin attempting bread products rather than simple baked goods. This weekend’s project: Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

The other day I had my first adult encounter with an etch-a-sketch. I remembered not understanding at all how to use it when I was a kid. The controls simply did not make any sense. This day, though, within seconds of picking up the etch-a-sketch and twiddling the dials, I understood exactly how the buttons worked and how to control it. Yes, it was still difficult to control, but now I had an idea...

You Should Date A Literate Girl

Date a girl who reads. Find her in the farthest corner of a four-story library. Find her in the dark, malty sweat, and vibrating walls of a basement show. Wherever you find her, find her smiling. Make sure that it lingers...

Like snow melting at the touch of boiling water, the chocolate froze within seconds after being drizzled onto the irregular white mounds of vanilla ice cream. I cracked open the plastic crate of raspberries and dropped them precariously around and on top. A trembling began in my stomach that surged to the muscles in my forearm, twitching my fingers that ached to just tap on frozen chocolate,...
