disappointed again.
the sun came to strip the night sky, peel away her black.
aureate, it nudges apart her sleeping knees and spreads her open.
good morning. i haven't slept yet.
i am sweat soaked. ink stained. sleep starved. panting.
i haven't slept. i thought tonight (last night as it has become) would be the time that i finally figured her out.

I am not particularly intelligent by nature. But, I decided a few years ago that I was going to do this and I've worked fucking hard. I'm going to shamelessly brag because I am proud of myself. I have a 4.0 GPA & I got a scholarship to go to UCSB.
I was happy as hell & all that about the scholastic achievement, to an... Read More
congratulations. i'm in a similar boat and know how good accomplishment can be after the delay of gratification has seemed so far off for so long. enjoy.
At this 'right now', this exact second - the one with the acrid smoke leaking from my cigarette and 'that' look in your eyes- I think you are the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.
Beautiful like tragedy, like loving things that die.

I remembered a life I once lived. I lived it again. The same Hollywood places and all the same faces, told the same stories while we sipped... Read More
She called me tonight. I was glad it was her. Shes the reason I plugged the phone back in.
So, anyway., she says immediately - as if she was continuing a conversation rather than initiating one, He is so confusing, Julie, I swear to fucking God.
She doesnt need to clarify her pronouns. I know without thinking and she says without speaking. Weve been having... Read More
She has lived here her entire life. She's watched this sun set behind the Pacific Ocean every afternoon. Or any afternoon that she bothered to look up and notice anyway. But, still the fiery pastels of dusk impressed her, so much so that she muttered blasphemous curses. She was skin and lips and things I... Read More
omg yes girl. I had the lyrics quoted in my profile a few weeks ago. I hear that song and I bawl like a baby.
oh and tina is a major saint. I spent one day with her and her students and I was exhausted just watching. plus I stated thinking how hard it must be for the parents. then I wondered what would become of them when they became adults. life is so unfair. seeing people like that makes our problems seem so small.
