I LIKE LOTS OF TINGS! ESPECIALLY WHEN I YELL DERR NAMES LIKE POSTER! orrr RIBBONS! or SATCHEL!

I had it in my pocket, you take it out… I need it to get into my home. How I get inside if you take my key?  You are a terrible person.

 I would like to watch you sleeping,
 which may not happen.
 I would like to watch you,
 sleeping. I would like to sleep
 with you, to enter
 your sleep as its smooth dark wave
 slides over my head

 and walk with you through that lucent
 wavering forest of bluegreen leaves
 with its watery sun & three moons
 towards the cave where you must descend,
 towards your worst fear

 I would like to give you the silver
 branch, the small white flower, the one
 word that will protect you
 from the grief at the center
 of your dream, from the grief
 at the center. I would like to follow
 you up the long stairway
 again & become
 the boat that would row you back
 carefully, a flame
 in two cupped hands
 to where your body lies
 beside me, and you enter
 it as easily as breathing in

 I would like to be the air
 that inhabits you for a moment
 only. I would like to be that unnoticed
 & that necessary.

— Margaret Atwood

Something about Phoenix calms me down.

Like when you’re riding in a car and the sun is going down, and you are so calm, but you’re also just a little sad for no reason in particular.

It’s been a good year.

I am so happy to have made a new best friend this semester :) It wouldn’t have been the same without you Laurby.  You are my first post ever, to commemorate our Denny’s smoothie + Pancake puppy popper things. SO delish. I cannot wait to be your roomate <3
