1. if i had a million i would blow it on…a world trip and school. i would help pay my sister’s tuition because i’ve always felt she has more drive than me. otherwise, i would probably try to buy people things, but whenever i try to buy something for my friends i feel like they resent that i have the ability they don’t.
2. i do not have an enemy. i tend to cut ties with...

so last night i get up around three to use the bathroom and my brother is still playing some kind of game on the Wii. i flip him off and he grumbles, normal shit for us. and i don’t know about anyone else, but i tend to use mouthwash before going to bed, so i had to use a bit. only i swallowed it and experienced that initial ‘oh god oh god i’m so ‘bout to die’ before...

A Wish is a Dream Your Heart Makes
for new year’s i’m bleaching my hair and turning it purple. and as i contemplated the smell of the peroxide before mixing, i had the thought of what might happen were i to inject the dye into a vein instead. and instead of killing me, what if it pickled its way through my body to my hair follicles and my hair grew out purple and wouldn’t that be amazing.
then i realized that...

i hold grudges for probably ever. unless it’s something petty.
if someone lets me down…well, it depends how important it was to begin with. but eventually, i’ll stop depending on their word. i think it was because my dad was smart, he used to say, “We’ll see,” or “I can’t promise, but probably.” conditioned me to placing importance on...
because i am curious as to how it would sound, does anyone know a way to scramble your voice without having to smoke for thirty years?
maybe you’ve noticed the silence, maybe not, but i’m going to tell you the reason for it even if you haven’t. it’s because every time i think to say something, i recall what happened the last time we were together.
you left. you were there one moment and then you were gone without a word. not a big deal, but you stayed gone. i could understand if you had only mentioned...

concert fistfight: a drunk guy kept pushing that trashcan into my back with his drunk girlfriend, so i finally moved it and he moved it back. i snapped, there was shouting and cursing and i fingered a can of continuous spray sunscreen thinking that if he attacked me he was getting maced in the face but the fines for that sort of thing are about $60 so i left instead.

1. never been in an actual fist fight, but i’ve been in shove matches. and seeing Stone Temple Pilots, i had a trashcan of beer cans thrown at me in a fight. i left before i could be kicked out of the concert.
2. it depends upon the subject. if it’s little-known history, i’ll probably watch it. if it’s over fighter planes…probably not.
3. Children of Men: not all of...

I have worked at American eagle for 3 years. I have not been promoted. I threatened to quit, then I finally got a raise. And your dream sounds scary as fuck. I wish I remembered my dreams.
well, i started out above minimum wage and have gotten raises since, but when minimum wage went up my pay did not increase at the same rate....

1. i’ve been working at Michael’s for nearly five and a half years. it was my first paid job, and i’m a sucker to still be working there as nothing more than an associate.
2. i have never been to a comedy club. i’m not sure i could pay for that sort of thing. if someone turns out not to be funny on television, you can change the channel and they never know. walk out of a...

thus, here i am wishing, needing, having to see The Crow but my only copy was eaten by the VCR sometime last year. i’m forced to make do with listening to the soundtrack on repeat and remembering each scene as best i can. …which, sadly, is probably better than most, considering how many times i’ve seen it.

in which i am insulting and crass. what a shock.
oh hey, i’m only a hundred posts away from 2,000. and for those of you looking smug ‘only 2,000, how quaint’ i say right now you can go fuck a lawnmower attachment. hard to look smug when your gibblies are looking like your momma’s ass the day she had you.
anyway. 2,000. i should do something commemorative, like have my brother sing What’s New, Pussycat without him...

so i watched the Kennedy Center Honors and i found myself wondering how it feels to have people tell you, to your face, on national television, that who you are, what you’ve done and accomplished, has changed people’s lives. it must be simply mind-blowing.
i once had someone leave me a comment on formspring that thanked me for writing. “you’ve helped me get through some...
