| 2008-07-15 21:35:05 |
I’ll preface this with saying that I hope that I don’t ruin any future employment opportunities for mixing politics and blogging. (I can pretend I hate animal rights activists, black people, and gun control too, if you pay me enough. Oh self, you are politically incorrect.)
Though, if it helps, the first hint of my liberal, [...]...

Top Five Things Stacy Always Loses
1. Tweezers
2. Keys
3. eBay auctions
4. Bets.
5. Her mind.
Also, internet connection– but “top six” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it....

Frolicking Amongst Flowers
My memories of that day are hazy
(like wisps of smoke, floating)
supplemented only by photographs.
It’s overcast and cool but nice
perfect for an outing.
My parents take me to the Cornell Plantations,
content to let me wander here and there– and everywhere.
I traipse across the grounds
trying to poke and feed fish pebbles
and chase after Monarch Butterflies
wearing myself [...]...

You know the old flash video Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me ? (I’m waiting for the spike in weird and sometimes worriesome search hits.) There needs to be a remake– “Everyone Else Has Got a Macbook But Me”.
I even have the first verse written– “Everyone else has got a Macbook but me/Does [...]...

Your favorite anti-heroine/protagonist person managed to survive six hours in a moving vechicle with her father and sister.
They were not attacked by wild moose.
Yours truly managed to acquire (throughly completely legal means) taro bubble tea at Tea Shop 168 on Dundas St. It was absolutely amazing....

| 2008-06-29 04:01:52 |
It’s the kind of guilt that gnaws on your conscience whenever you bristle and snap at your parents, ignoring them in favor of hanging out with your friends or scribbling in that notepad of yours. You love them, but you’re busy playing the part of the sullen teenager to say the words out loud and [...]...

This is the smothered yawn as I glare at the clock at the lower right hand corner accusingly–wondering if I should call [...]...

PHONY. Society is PHONY. And love – [...]...
