Re: Playlists
I’ve researched this thoroughly, and if your playlist doesn’t have at least one Paul Simon song, I’m probably not interested. At the very least, I will start to really mistrust your decision making skills, because why wouldn’t you?
Maylist Playlist →
A playlist for any of the following:
sloppy puns and rhymes and language fun
iced lattes
truffle grilled cheese with brie and asparagus (I know)
bike rides over bridges, up and down avenues, and hell, anywhere else
moving in with a boy and (you hope) never moving out
red toenails
using more semicolons
mild soul searching (nothing serious though - 10 minutes a day MAXIMUM)
But those are...

Sometimes
- certainly not every time - but sometimes, when you’re fighting that particular migraine you get when you’ve been doggedly searching craigslist all day for apartments in between bursts of productivity at work, and keep seeing the same 3 listings dispersed over 50+ ads, only the address keeps mysteriously changing in every ad, and when you call the realtor on your lunch break to get...

Sierra DeMulder: MANTRA TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION →
sierrademulder:
Vitamin D. Sunlight. Go outside. Get a good night of sleep. Not too good. Not shades drawn forever good. Not like you used to. Open the windows. Buy more houseplants. Breathe. Meditate. (One day, you will no longer be afraid of being alone with your thoughts.) Exercise. Actually exercise instead of just googling it. Eat well. Cook for yourself. Organize your closet, the...

For real: You’re THRILLED that Baz Luhrmann is adapting The Great Gatsby and you’re DOUBLE THRILLED he’s doing it in 3D, or you’re an idiot. I am so absolutely not joking. It’s not the best book ever and he’s not the best director ever but that book and that director could NOT be a better more appropriate pair. And 3D, which is shit and garbage and ridiculous normally,...

This is the story of my great triumph.
As you may recall, I was recently given a bike, but I haven’t really put any riding time in yet because even after I got it back (with new brakes/gears/theworks) from the bike shop last week, I’ve been too scared. I grew up in the country, so riding in traffic is something I’ve never done before, and it is terrifying. My first big ride that wasn’t just doodling around the...

Here are some lines written by students in grades 3rd-6th:
———————————— [Writing about a family member’s recent death]
The life of my heart is crimson.
My brother went down to the river and put dirt on.
Away went a dull winter wind that rocked harshly, and bent you said, ‘Father, father’.

Serendipity Calling, or Right Place Right Time
I’ve been scowling since my alarm went off this morning, for both legitimate and not-so-legitimate reasons (an example of the latter being, to give you some perspective, saying to Frank that I would get breakfast on the way to work so that he could stay in bed with me, and then getting upset that he got up and made me breakfast and brought it to me in bed - I am actually the worst). That said, I’m...
