  • this is my box.

    So today I was in English class and I don't really remember what exactly made me think of this but all of the sudden it was in my head. How we're always defining people, how quickly we peg a person as this or that, how we box people in so soon after meeting them - or even just seeing them. And...

  • a year ago today... (mar. 6)

    It was a year ago today (and no, I don't REMEMBER this, I had to look back through old emails to Mich to find it out) that I realized for really reals it would be worth 4+ years of extra schooling to teach kindergarten. Also a year ago today I heard this little exchange on the radio... (they were...

  • this post comes in two parts and explains my two week hiatus

    Ok so I was totally going to make a post from the library at lunch today. But seeing as how it was practically pouring outside EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER was in use. So I went to eat lunch in my car and by the time I got to my car my jacket was soaked and my hair was so wet it was all slicked down to my head...

  • on friends

    Friendship. Wow. That's a broad category. We apply the label "friend" to a lot of people, some of them people we barely know. That kid who sits next to you in Biology, the next-door-neighbor you occasionally chat with, the distant relative you call up every so often. But when you stop to...

  • on reality

    I think I said I'd do a post on reality, didn't I? Yeah. I'd been wanting to write this post for a long time, ever since I read Sam's post about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (what an amazing title, by the way, right?) and it reminded me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. I...

  • on being completely ignorant and condescending

    I used to read the reviews on this site, commonsensemedia.org , because, well... to be honest I just really like reading reviews for some reason. But anyways, I quit reading the reviews on there and I forgot why until I went back today to try to find movie reviews for the new movie Juno, which I really...

  • random lines

    As Meggo would say, "this is random," but I'm in a slightly off mood (I just had three finals -- what do you expect?) so I'm just posting lines from stories I have started but will probably never finish. Just completely random lines that I like for some reason. "My night, however...

  • chapter seven

    Okay, so I'm looking for a good part of my novel to share here... okay, chapter seven. (My chapters are kinda short, as far as chapters go.) Oh, and the story is about a girl who lives in this small Texas town and desperately wants to get out, especially after her best friend moves to Chicago and...

  • songs that remind me (maybe i'll post more later?)

    Wow. Okay, first off, bravo to Haley for attempting to write a novel of approximately 100k words. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that, Haley.) Because my goal is 50k, which I guess is okay since it's YA. It better be okay. But anyways, I was up until midnight last night working on it... the words...
