  • Irrational Thoughts about Physical Proximity

    A secret thought I would have followed through smile on my lips but alas I missed the exit again

  • Devastation and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

    I read books and watch movies that are devastating to remember I’m not immune to being devastated, or to prove to myself that I can still be devastated.   The war books I’m reading…I can imagine what combat is like, the fear, the brutality, but what draws me in is that I know it’s much…

  • How to Cope Without Your Favorite Writing Utensil or an Interesting Blog Topic

    Sex. Also, mentioning “sex” in a blog brings you more traffic, or so Bryan says. Put as many sexual tags as you can think of on your blog post. Think hard. Try to find another writing utensil. Tell yourself that this other writing utensil is perfectly sufficient. Upon immediate dismissal of the above point, keep…

  • On Not Advocating Shit

    I’m pretty sure my shit smells worse than yours.   My friend said she didn’t want to be that girl. I told her not to worry, I had been that girl undercover for years. A few days later, I decided to try bulimia out again for shit’s sake (literally). I only tried it a couple…

  • the Classics

    We’re in a café.   No, we’re in a warehouse where fish used to be processed that someone turned into a coffee house. A rustic, modern, pretentious little coffee house where we sit. We are the only respectable crowd here, legitimizing it for all the other bastards sitting in old chairs, stuffing oozing out of…

  • Pounding Posture Discharge

    Nasal discharge is carelessly swiped away on my wrist It’s sort of gross but I can’t reach the Kleenex and you know deep down more than allergies I suffer from laziness and besides I’m tired   Bad posture he says but he knows the weight in my chest bends me downward like ice on worn-out…

  • Going

    Listen I’m tired of her I’m tired of hearing her I’m tired of seeing her   Since she’s on her way to good health or on her way to not-so-bad health   Her complaining and her refusals are symptoms of a petulant child I have no patience for   Since she’s going anyway I wish…

  • Up and Down

    Yesterday, I took lunch and went for a light jog/walk around the old neighborhood I used to live by. It was a beautiful spring day. Like the ones I remember when I lived there. It was strange to be back in the same place and remember the version of me that when up the hill…

  • Present, Future

    This day is going better than yesterday because   I do not have to go to the dentist. I have not locked myself out of my car (yet). I am planning to eat all day so as not to get so hungry and stay within my point range for Weight Watchers. Although my gums are…

  • Flutter

    …and really it’s about wanting to know what I can’t even still do you remember has replaced why at least sometimes you won’t know the significance of this day you never knew the significance of me but I hope you reflect for a brief moment on the last year of your life think of me…
