lait du soja
about three weeks ago my parents refused to buy groceries for us (random shit fits). so, after running out of lactose-free fat-free everything-free milk, i turned to the soy milk at the back of the fridge. many moons ago, back in high school, i tried soy milk and totally hated it. but i was surprised to find that, not only did i like soy milk this ( Read more... ) -
i got home from a four day trip to cincinnati. it was cold there. way colder than it EVER gets here.
god i love literature. i love to read. i love creating worlds in my imagination as i read. it's really a shame that the english program at our school wants only to mold future high-school english teachers who can barely spit out the textbook's literary intepretations, much LESS formulate their own creative perspectives on whatever poem they're ( Read more... ) -

death becomes me
i have become a hair victim. when i came back from france, my hair turned orange, as a result of being on the beach every day for an entire month. it was a gross black-orange combo all of fall semester, and finally FINALLY i decided to go to my hair stylist to fix it. so i tell her, i want an even color. and she gives me rusted-nail or copper-penny ( Read more... )
