"Do I have to jump?" Lottie's voice raises two octaves on 'jump' after taking on a nasally tone at 'have.' Aaron stares at her incredulously, "No, but..." "No? Yes!" Ralph cuts in with his own opinion with no surprise to anyone there, "Just go already." He rolls his eyes. "You don't have to, but we've been here for... Continue Reading →
April is here? Already? Months used to drag on endlessly when I was little and now I blink and the month is already gone. It seems the older you get the faster time moves. Movies The Notebook This actually was my first time seeing this (I know, I know, what a shameful teenage girl I... Continue Reading →
I hate artificial light, it distorts nature’s might. There is no authenticity in its artificiality. It reminds me of small talk and the relationships we pretend are important to us but never care about enough to move on from talk about the color of the sky to the colors of our souls.

Here there is safety, Security on this smooth stretching ground. Below is far and fearsome, Dangerous and dark. And yet the disconcerting dizziness, Will pass, And come again... Continue Reading →

This one was one of those books where, after I finished, I sat in awe, not capable of anything more. Even two weeks after picking... Continue Reading →
Hello folks! It seems its been a while since I've written a lighter hearted post. Thoughts are good, don't ever hear me say otherwise, but it's nice to have an old fashioned fun post every once in a while. Anyhow, this month has been... interesting? I've learned a lot about myself and the people around... Continue Reading →
