Freaking out over absolutely nothing

Let’s talk about Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMA’s, shall we? . . . Actually, how about we don’t? First, that’s old news. The VMA’s were over a week ago, and frankly, I don’t give a crap about the way that Twitter was blowing up that Sunday night. All I could do was watch fromContinue reading “Freaking out over absolutely nothing”

A monologue about eyes

I won’t bother speaking about the color of her eyes, as they are irrelevant. I won’t bore you with the typical blue oceans or pools of chocolate brown, as she can’t control her eye color. I won’t bother telling you how her eyelashes are unnaturally long, or how they bat and flutter little Eskimo kisses.Continue reading “A monologue about eyes”

We forgot how to be happy

At this time, it was still light outside. The air inside the house still retained some of its air conditioned effect, so the muggyness was bearable. TheContinue reading “Powerless”

First day of senior year – facing the crowd

That was yesterday. I don’t know why schools have arbitrarily decided to throw their students back into school on random weekdays, but hey, why fight it? We started off the day with some gate-cheering; the seniors assembled bright and early at the school gates, cheering incoming newbies with signs and noisemakers and elaborate getups. Unfortunately,Continue reading “First day of senior year – facing the crowd”

Camp withdrawal

I miss everything and everyone so much, it hurts. This is the first post published from Atlanta in 7.5 weeks, as the rest have all been from Ann Arbor. I woke up this morning-er, afternoon, after a heavy 15-hour sleep and all of this emotion and soon-to-be nostalgia came flooding towards me. It finally materializedContinue reading “Camp withdrawal”
