Many of my friends are celebrating St. Patricks Day by drinking Irish Car Bombs
Many of my friends it turns out are assholes
I had a dream last night I was competing in the Hunger Games
And Ellen DeGeneres was the host
Which didn’t seem to mesh with her demographic

How I knew at 22 years old I had fallen in love...
My boyfriend gave me a key to his house. I know, how epic, the trust he must have had. We plan a Friday night in, pizza, bourbon, and movies, the kind of ordinary, indulgent lazy evening that depending on my mood later would either be used as evidence of our complete harmony, or that this relationship was syphoning my youth. Class ends early for me, he’s stuck in traffic, and I’m...

“You think you are an iconoclast, but you’re not. You just move, or replace what you cannot have. If you fail at something you retreat into something else. Nothing changes you. How many women did you have? I left you because I knew I could never change you. You would stand in the room so still sometimes, so wordless sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal...

Morning routines, more routines, more activities that could fall into the banality of a slowly passing life. Except now they’re marked by slight changes to remind me of all that’s changed. A vertical line between my eyebrows, didn’t expect to see that for at least a half decade. I still use bar soap to wash my hair, a left over habit from when we ran out of shampoo and conditioner, yet...

How can I make the day when life returns to normal? Perhaps the definition would demand that the evasive moment would be one that passes unnoticed. I wake up a sunrise now, that certainly isn’t normal. Over the last week or so I’ve realized that I’ve stopped feeling a sense of dread whenever someone turns to say something to me. Electricity has been working for months now. ...
We can only touch people standing at most two to three feel away from us, the reach of an arm, extending to the longest fingertip. Smell those at ten feet away, hear them across a few yards if they scream. I’m young and my sight is strong, I could see a person across a field. I can taste a person only when they’re pressed against me.

End of term Professor assestments.
End of last lecture
Prof: “I’d appreciate it if you guys would hang around for a few minutes after you fill out these forms.”
I write down that while the class was interesting and he’s very knowledable, he was so unaccessable so often, with so many cancled office hours, and seemed so unfocused at times, it made the class a challenge.
