Just Kids
by Patti Smith. A book about growing up, art, and her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe. It’s made me realize that I do indeed have a regret in life, and that regret is not keeping a better personal record. Especially of my time in New Zealand. I want to remember the little things. Halfway through, there is a quick reference to writing her journal on her typewriter. I want a...
Addiction
T: When you get to the point where you can't function without something, that's not healthy.
A: Yeah. Like sleep. Or food. Or air. Fuck, I'm addicted to food.

there is a hole.
I’m dreading next month. One year since I left for new zealand, & every day I’ll just be thinking about where I was or what I was doing or who I was with that day in 2011. It felt like a whole life there. But even though I’ve done so much this year afterwards, every minute since I’ve gotten home has just been a post-NZ phase to me. I’m not ready to accept that...

Beauty Pageant Kids These Days of the Day: I have a theory about Toddlers & Tiaras that involves TLC working with Child Services to lure unfit parents into a trap a la police station lotteries.
It has to be that. It just has to.

my new favorite poem.
Here is a wound that never will heal, I know Being wrought not of a dearness and a death But of a love turned ashes and the breath Gone out of beauty; never again will grow The grass on that scarred acre, though I sow Young seed there yearly and the sky bequeath Its friendly weathers down, far underneath Shall be such bitterness of an old woe.
That April should be shattered by a gust, That...

edna st vincent millay:
I know I am but summer to your heart, And not the full four seasons of the year; And you must welcome from another part Such noble moods as are not mine, my dear. No gracious weight of golden fruits to sell Have I, nor any wise and wintry thing; And I have loved you all too long and well To carry still the high sweet breast of spring.
Wherefore I say: O love, as summer goes, I must be...

excerpt from Wikipedia "serial killer" article
“A serial killer is typically defined as an individual who has murdered three or more people over a period of more than a month, with down time (a “cooling off period”) between the murders, and whose motivation for killing is usually based on psychological gratification. Some sources disregard the “three or more” criteria, and define the term as…”

- in response to “you don’t really like food, do you?” after a long and difficult conversation about what I will cook for him tomorrow when we exchange Christmas gifts.

whether it’s hurting or helping is yet to be seen, but I would still highly recommend this combo for anyone who has a particularly heavy soul / wants to do a little thinking.

WatchA. McElhone, “Living History”
This music saves me from the hell of nothing I’ve been in.
I finished a song. What?! This one has been in the works for a whiiiile. I discovered that the room in our student center is so fun to just sit and play in. I wish I could actually play piano, but I think it’s fitting for this song that it’s so simple and repetitive. As...
thank you, stranger.
I’m in a bit of a rough patch with different social and personal situations. But a kid smiled at me today and it brightened my day. He sort of scared off a squirrel and then turned around to laugh at me about it and made a comment. I had my headphones in, but the simplicity of the human interaction was just such a relief from everyone being too busy with their own problems to just...

Their relationship was difficult. She was irritated by the routine and annoyed by the sounds he made when he was drinking. And she would get upset so quickly. He seldom said anything about anything.
