And yet, in the midst, there are the good days.
(Began writing this Sunday, January 30, 2011)
I woke up yesterday at some moment around 9:40AM, having gone to sleep near midnight; I got a good full amount and woke up with joy as the sun shone barely through the blinds and my roommate lay asleep. I had planned on going thrifting with a group of girls I could never hate if I turned evil and tried, yet decided late the previous night “I...

“World! I’ve overcome you, world,
World, I’ve overcome you, world,
I’ve overcome by my song and the blood of a Son”

All I want in life,
is another John Steinbeck book to read
I thought about this today,
If there were one-hundred-and-ten people standing in front of me and I was on a platform, would I tell them the things I write here in the secrecy of my own room, or in the corner of a coffee shop? Would I open up and speak about hating life, loving Jesus, feeling alone? Would I show them pictures of things I just ate, friends I am currently with, new shoes I bought? Would I really believe...
You see, her confidence is tragic,
her intuition, magic
the shape of her body, unusual
well she wants to live her life
and she thinks about her life
(pulls her hair back as she screams…)

I hate working nights. I hate it.

I tried,
yesterday, to stay awake as long as I could. I didn’t like it one bit. I was drunk. I felt drunk (or what I presume it would feel like). I was mean and irritable and a mess. I napped a little bit. But I failed at loving friends in the right moments because my mind was consumed with torment of “to sleep or not to sleep…”
It’s 6:30 AM right now. And I am going to...

I kept trying to write,
and Tumblr kept telling me they would be back shortly, so I waited a bit, shortly, and here I am, able to write. The time is 6:25 AM and the sound surrounding my fingers hitting the keyboards are that of the obnoxious large vent just outside my apartment, and coffee being made. I was sitting here, alone, in a dimly lit room, ready to write, when I heard the sound of pouring water. Fearfully, I...

I'm gonna write later,
about what I’ve been thinking of. I can’t right now cause I’m at work and all I have to type with are my little fingers and Spike (myPhone) - but I’ll go back to my apartment around 5:30AM and I will turn my computer on and type. And maybe you’ll care to read and maybe you really won’t. But that is completely irrelevant because they’ll be there regardless.

Hello Ellie,
You are sitting across from me and most likely stalking Tumblr. So I wanted to say Hi through our computer screens, even though I could say it outloud. It’s 2011, so I’m being like the people of our generation and avoiding vocal and real contact.
I love you. You are wonderful and lovely. Really truly. And I hope you have a sensational night, whatever the rest of it entails.
Love,...

Hello nobody,
And welcome to my now. Most nights, at 3am, I would be alone in my living room watching a movie or on the computer, enjoying a TV show or emailing Emily, or sleeping. I would be content in my introversion and silence. But right now, I am sitting in a crowed breakroom, next to a man that smells like dirty diapers (no joke), and surrounded by men and woman rambling on in a language I’ve never...

Here I am,
again, again. I walked in and the soundtrack from a movie I quoted earlier in the day was playing. It made my soul smile. I sat down, by myself at this empty table, in a different outfit than I wore when I spoke that quote, but the same shirt. I did some business, for a love. I looked up my life. I remembered that I rented a movie yesterday that I should return if I don’t want to be charged...

She is so beautiful, but she has no idea. She hides her face behind her hair and her body behind wide clothes. It’s a shame. I am not the only one who is impressed by her beauty. People look at her with a hint of jealously, but mostly with admiration. I was lucky enough to look in her eyes for a…
