Things That Never Change

Once upon a time there was a girl who kept bleeding

and bleeding

and bleeding

and bleeding

and never dying

and no body was impressed by her magic.

For God's sake, they kept calling it Magic.

Order of Operations

I've been playing with a new way to write, I named it, "backwards." I've been toying with the idea of HOW you say something, rather than what you say, and inadvertently, the order things that are said matter too.
Should I just show you what I mean?

I mean you can tell 2 ENTIRELY different stories using the exact same words/dialogue/lines.
Ok look:

--Story One--


Then, we didn't talk very much.

She was spending a lot of time with her ex.

But she moved away for school!

I supported her education.

Suddenly we were making plans together.

We were madly in love!


Here's number 2



We were madly love!

Suddenly we were making plans together.

I supported her education.

But she moved away for school.

She was spending a lot of time with her ex.

Then, we didn't talk very much.



Now that you know the fate of each story, go back and read each line harder, and the stories will become more and more true.
Get it?

I just don't even understand blogging

This is what I gather:

A blog is something you have when you have SO MUCH TO SHARE THAT YOU CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANY LONGER! I usually feel like I'm on the edge of my own seat, but I can't explain to you what it is that's pushing me forward or pulling me off.

Either way, yesterday, I promised Mike and Caitlin that I would blog yesterday. A day late and here you go Caitlin and Mike!

I went for a bike ride yesterday.
It was so fun to go and play.
It was so fun to pedal away.
Even with my disloca
ted wrist.

262 paved the way
for me; like Will and Grace for the gays,
And I could smell the horses eating hay.
But then, again, to my dismay,
My handle bars did a twist.

Keeping further injuries at bay,
I went and swallowed down a full ray
of sunshine to keep me from going astray
It seems that brightness saved the day
from all the accidents I missed.

[the last time i rode my bike, i fell, and dislocated my wrist, and i type funny now]


I like Caitlin and I like Mike because I like happy people.

More Cards

I'm inspired, this week, by cars that don't work.

[I'm sorry about your awful car]

[So does your car]

And I threw this in when I was feeling some cuteness.

There were more, but they're not as cute!

LENT! Started yesterday...

I am attempting 2 promises for Lent.
Most importantly: to not be such a feisty brat.
And most fun:
I am going to make a greeting card every single say, and at the 40th I will feel like I have enough to start an Etsy shop--I've been wanting to start for way too long!

I didn't post anything yesterday because I was so busy not being a feisty brat all day that I needed to go to bed at 7pm.

Here's what I've done so far!


I made this one yesterday in honor of Lent itself, and with Jesus in mind. It's blank because...I don't know what to say to Jesus on Ash Wednesday.

It says:

"Just wanted to say Hi."

More to come everyday until Easter!

It's about time for Valentine Cookies

[I've been really bad and there is no reason that I've waited over a week to post these cookie pictures!]

My only Valentiney cookie cutter is a big heart, which I love. But I needed more than heart shaped cookies. Nothing says love better than random kissing animals!
I had chicks, fish, and butterflies.
The fish were so stubborn. Bunch of prudes.


I was in love with these 1/2 moon cookies.
[They're Valentiney because they're perfect to share with your little sweetheart if he's not on some jerk-diet. (Which mine wasn't, for once, thank God.)]
I also fell in love with the colors here!!
I am all about NEON food coloring.
Brightness makes cookies more delightful.

Then I built some couples holding mitten hands...

..or..ninja turtles is what this one reminds me of for some reason.


COLORFUL HEART COOKIES! COLORFUL EVERYTHING COOKIES!

Most importantly, when you are baking heart cookies, you better be wearing your cute little heart belt. It's March now.
The End.

Things that are Beautiful

The hair on my head, which is brown and blond
is beautiful.
Behind my right ear and above me left elbow
where I have a tattoo or two.
Not going to school.
Not having a plan.
Having no balls
either but dreaming like I do.
A six pack
that I stopped keeping maintenance on.
Being madly in love
with everything, with everyone.
Being madly in love
but not like the old days.
Being madly in love
but he doesn't love the parts of you that you love to.
Being only 21
and thinking it's all over.
Being madly in love.
And not having the balls to
Try something else.
