I’ve never cried so hard over a story in my life. I kept wishing there was some way everything could work out. It seems so unfair. It’s a beautiful story, but heartbreaking.
I used to be a little ice girl
with stained cheeks
and a cold mouth
my skin soft and pale
but now I’m of fire
tangled sheets and ragged breathing
as the sweat pours
and nightmares consume
The Day The Falls Stood Stille by Cathy Marie...
Today after choir I’ve been reading, I guess a treat after two physics test today. A breather, as there’ll be two more next week, and I still have one to finish tomorrow. It’s amazing the way stories affect people who really love them. This story is tender and raw and heavy. It’s about moving forward, no matter how hard. It’s about losing and gaining and feeling the...
I want you to know I liked listening to your music today. I hadn’t heard of most of it, and it’s not the sort of style I usually listen to, but I actually really liked it. I found it kind of soothing and raw and real and haunting all at the same time. Thanks for opening up to me a bit. I’m not even close to knowing what your deal is, but yesterday when we talked about our old...

Me: Hey!.....Racist Sister! *clap*
Mike: Umm, that's sexist.
Me: I know that. But it's not as funny.
Mike: It really isn't.
Me: It's about priorities.
Mike: Accuracy is sacrificed for humour.
Me: Exactly, after all, what's really important. :)

I will post lots of beautiful pictures for you
So I met a boy tonight, how unexpected. Maybe we won’t ever meet again, but it fun to retell entire movie plots to one another and try and explain how file sharing worked to Michael. We talked about music and art and being born with an understanding for something. We talked about books playing out a movie in our heads that was ours alone, and walking around dazed. It was a brief meeting. Not...

Using the wrong answer key to mark multiple choice on electrostatics test. 20% Oh wait, you don’t have a question 11? OH, Here are the ACTUAL Answers. Lets try this again….
With that said and done I aced it :]
I've found a good way to fall asleep
I’ve always struggled with sleep. After Christmas holidays and late nights it’s been hard falling asleep even around 11. I used to try and remember Radio code but now that is just as fast as saying the alphabet, or nearly so (not that I’m a particularly fast alphabet reciter.)
So I add numbers up in my head. I’ve had these two strings memorized for a while now. If...
