love

i love the feeling of having a huge load off your mind. i love the feeling knowing there's something better coming, and its coming soon. i love the feeling of being safe inside when the weather is just dreadful. i love the feeling of being right in the middle of the dreadful weather. especially when its hail and its the end of may and you only have one day of school left at place you have been trying to escape from for years and you are travelling to peru with 25 of your very favorite people in less than a month and everything just seems to fall into place. you know, that one.

my favorite time of year

my poor brain is stuffed full. i'm not sure how much more it can take.
don't worry though. after i spit it all back up on my finals, i'll never remember any of it. ever again. convenient how that works, isn't it?

and yet

so close.
so so close.

the days crawl along.

i am ready for summer. very, very ready.

please

empty me out.

this morning

rain fell into my teacup.
that's probably why it tasted so good.

sunny side up

once upon a time, there was a little girl. she lived in a hole in her garden. the hole was dark and full of dirt, as holes usually are, and though sometimes she was visited by a friendly earthworm, she was not content. she was determined to see what was outside of her earthy prison. with quite a bit of effort, the girl climbed up up and up, until, finally she was out! the sun smiled down on her and she spun around in circles on the grass. she was happy
after a little while, she grew tired and lay down next to the hole, which was in her garden. she heard a small voice coming from the hole. "who can it be?" she thought aloud. "it's me!" said the hole, a little shocked that the girl had failed to come up with this answer on her own. in her curiosity, the girl peered over the side. she could see nothing but darkness. she had always had a soft spot for darkness. it was mysterious and intriguing. the little girl stepped close to the edge and thought "it really was not so bad down there. maybe i could go back, just for a visit." down down she fell, straight from whence she came. she is trying very very hard to get out again. into the sunshine.
