I love hanging out with my family.
Dad: “Click on QuickBooks and let’s grab a cup of coffee.” (QuickTrip)
Mom: “You need to take them out of the plastic to thaw.” Me: “You mean…all the way naked?” (I’d never make it in med school, clearly)
Brianna: “Why are they called Cornish Hens?” Me: “Because they originated in [...]

dearest thought
how well you weave your way through my mind
but you melt through my nicely crafted box
of things i have saved
in picture or word
come take shape
i wish you would just walk by my side
on a leather leash of quotation marks
neatly engraved
with my initials
a line of ink
to draw breathing, melodic sunlight
sealing heartbeats in a gilded jar
creating [...]

Ode to Rebellious Jazzy
there was a little dog
with coat as white as fog
who liked to eat garbage and plastic
when she was sleeping she was very very good
but awake, horrid and iconoclastic
I just spent 20 minutes chasing a wet dog around the neighborhood, wearing shorts, an ugly yellow t-shirt, and bright blue flip-flops. I met three [...]

What is wrong with these people? Really?! Makes me so mad I’m typing in sentence fragments even more than usual.
Churches Denounce African Children as “witches”
I can’t believe the way these pastors are twisting the Bible. The girl is a witch because she likes to sleep outside? 1693 Puritans… hello? This is even beyond the absurd [...]

As I was mindlessly surfing internetland today (yahoo to twitter to blogs), I came across this video. Ouch! Even without facebook right now, I can still waste so much time online.

Um… yes? Hey… that’s me, right here. So what do I do about it?
Well, “if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like [...]

A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld—
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled
But peers beyond her mesh
And wishes—and denies—

Hmmm…
‘I should like to paint this.’ said the Ghost. ‘I wouldn’t bother about that just at present if I were you.’ replied the Spirit. ‘Look here, isn’t one going to be allowed to go on painting?’ ‘Looking comes first.’ ‘But I’ve had my look. I’ve seen just what I want to do. God!–I wish I’d [...]
