From Beyond The Veil
I think that if I knew in advance that I was about to die I would use Blogger's new Schedule A Post feature to leave a message for my family and friends a week after my death.

Why Am I So Broken?
One would think that a day that contained both the acquisition of a new car and a word of thanks from someone who doesn't often give them would be a wonderful day, but that could not be further from the truth.

Among The Delicious Coffeehouse Scents
Sitting upstairs at JavaDog, enjoying their free WiFi and tasty juice while waiting for my six o'clock class to roll around gives me such a sense of well being.

The Intracoastal Waterway Claims Another Victim
Reading the article about my cousin's death makes the entire situation feel real in a way that even attending the memorial service did not.

Betrayal From A Known Source But For Unknown Reasons
I think that it might be for the best if I stop trying to decipher the meaning behind people's actions and their motivations and simply accept them for who and what they are.

I Still Can't Sleep
Sitting at the kitchen table at three in the morning when sleep has forsaken me and the rest of the household is peacefully sleeping around me makes me feel so alone.

If Anyone Asks, My Name Is Marilyn
The magic of customer service has allowed me to acquire a free messenger bag with my textbook order, even though I didn't get the offer until sixteen hours after I placed my order.

Perhaps He Awaits Me At The Top Of The Tower
I feel that due to the massive amounts of drama in my life right now, I have unintentionally denied him in the experience of discussing his favorite book series with me.

Curvaceous
Looking at a photo of my best friend in her skivvies (and kick-ass fishnet socks), I swell with pride at her confidence in her body while at the same time wondering why the hell can I not do the same.

Searching For Peace In This War-Torn Land
I cannot help but feel that if I look hard enough, long enough I will discover a sunny glen with a softly babbling brook, surrounded by big, shady trees - all hidden here somewhere amidst the insanity.

I <3 Learning
No matter how old I get, the upcoming school year still makes me feel giddy: a new notebook, pens, pencils, and new subject matter for me to learn.

Supposedly Johnny Depp has purchased a home on Figure 8 Island and I think that I should offer him a 'welcome to the neighborhood' jello mold.

Sadly My "Wonderful Diction" Is Not Enough To Fix This Situation
It is very painful to have someone tell you that your parents should be very proud of you when you know very well that is not the case.

Do The Twist
How twisted must our society be to have the very art of healing - something that should be just as much a right as education is - be the origin of so many financial burdens for the masses yet the proverbial 'gravy train' for the few?

A stolen moment outside in the warmth of an August evening after a day inside an overly air conditioned shop is as refreshing as a cool rain after a day spent in the scorching heat.
