So This Little Boy Just Died
And you guys don’t need to know who he was.
But I’ve been thinking about his friends a lot, since I heard.
And I hope they never get angry.
You know, because how it really works, is you’re in shock. Then you’re sad. And then you’re angry.
And it’s not like I don’t think these kids have a right to be angry. I don’t want them to be angry,...
Now here's something inspirational
Many many moons ago, when I worked at a liquor store in Woburn, this guy came in who I had never seen before, and haven’t seen since.
This was unusual, because most of my customers were regulars, and I knew them all on a first name basis. But that fact is not terribly important.
But this guy was buying a lottery ticket. And probably alcohol, but I only remember the lottery ticket. And...
I'm going to rant now
You don’t get to tell me you love me. You just don’t. I have absolutely no room in my life for you to love me. You have no right to demand anything from me.
And here’s why.
Five years ago I would have dropped everything I was doing and followed you anywhere. And you took advantage of that.
You came in and out of my life like it was nothing, and every single time you...

So.
If I had wanted to be a mother at this age, I would be. Make no mistake about that.
But if I wanted to be a mother at this age, my child would be a toddler, not a boy in his twenties.
And I probably would get a hell of a lot more respect.
When I was a little girl
I went to the public library with my kindergarten class.
And then I made my Mom bring me, and I showed her the back door, and toured her all around the children’s section and told her all about all the books and reminded her to be quiet. And she let me, and acted like she had no idea the back door existed, or that she had ever been in the library before. Because I have the best Mom...

What am I to you?
You’re a boy who plays games, breaks my heart Changes lanes, without looking On the highway, who only comes my way When you’ve been drinking …. So lately I’ve been thinking You’re not worth this.
(prove me wrong)
Midnight
Took her home one night after midnight. Told her I would take her anywhere.
Told her I would take her anywhere, but I’d never love her. Told her I’d take her picture, but I could never see her beauty. Told her I wanted all of her and none of her all at once. Told her I could fuck her, but I’d never hold her.
She poured herself a drink, and I told her I couldn’t let her drink alone.
Told her...
I Don't Wanna Go To London
He’d call at one, two, sometimes three in the morning, begging me to jump on a plane to London, Hong Kong, sometimes as close as California, all expenses paid of course.
And I would, begrudgingly, decline, keep myself wrapped tight in my covers, and dream about what would happen if I ever did pick up the ticket waiting at the airport.
One night he called and he begged. He begged more than...
The Moment...
One night she took off all her clothes and crawled into bed next to me and said
Do you remember what life was like 24 hours ago?
and I said,
Let’s say that I don’t.
24 hours ago I was living for today. For this very moment. And now it’s here, and it sucks.
Just A Piece...
We sat silently, me with my wine balancing carefully between two fingers, his hands holding on to his beer for dear life.
“Can I ask you a question.” I took a steady sip from my glass for some courage.
He thought for a moment, his lip curling in slowly, like he was going to say no.
“Yes.” He finally said, “But before you ask it, ask yourself if you should be.”
I shouldn’t have been. If I...

Truth or Dare
We played truth or dare one afternoon. Your mother had taken your brothers to the store and you made me come in through the back door so that no one could see. We sat on your bed still covered in batman prints, and you said three simple words. Truth or Dare I said dare, and you said kiss me, so I did, but you were shaking, so I pulled away and you pulled me closer and kissed me a little...
I'm Supposed to be....
I joined this thing to start putting more of my writing out there. And I totally didn’t do that.
This changes now.
What is this world coming to?

Sometimes I'm too Emotional
So I used to have this best friend who I could text at all hours of the night. We could talk about anything. And when I made mistakes, we laughed at them. And I didn’t feel so guilty.
But He’s dead now.
That’s the only person I don’t have in my life anymore that I truly miss.

The Nanny Diaries. (Day 1)
After a month on the job, I need some kind of outlet for all the shit ( literally and figuratively) that I deal with on a day to day basis. Names have been changed to prevent me from being sued or fired.
So here it is. Today marks Day 1.
I arrived at the Smith* household at 7:40 am.
All seemed normal. The girls were asleep and Mom was getting ready to work.
But then I saw it. A brand new...

I think
You’re an idiot.
Not even for your opinions, or the way you feel.
But because you are so desperate to convince everybody that things are good.
And you’re so concerned about what people think.
If it’s real, then own it, and don’t give a fuck what the internet thinks about it.
people are calling ME

Reading Taming of the Shrew....
And I’m thinking about the movie 10 Things I Hate About You.
At the end, Patrick and Kat kiss and make up, and she gets to go to Sarah Lawrence, and all is right with the world.
But what they don’t tell you, is what inevitably happens after.
So I will.
Patrick follows Kat to the East coast, where they get a small apartment together. She attends classes during the day, while...
Allison Weiss makes me so happy...
Tell me when you’re ready man, and I’ll call you my friend.
But I don’t mind calling this the end…

I'm in one of those moods...
Where I am going to rant.
1). If you cheat on your girlfriend, feel guilty about it, and then buy her an engagement ring to make yourself feel better, you’re wasting your time. Your marriage is completely doomed. Where there is no honesty there is no future.
2). There are lots of different body types. Some people are super super skinny. Some people are average. Some people are a little...

So says one of Aisle 7’s East Coast-bound “correspondents:”
If there can be said in this modern age of dissolution and disillusionment to exist the semi-regular and totally non-esoteric and completely accesible proof of God, it must be the Hurricanes. Only something so grandiose, unpredictable, and witlessly destructive is comparable to the great Dietous disasters reblogged by the...
