“little tree little silent Christmas tree you are so little you are more like a flower
who found you in the green forest and were you very sorry to come away? see i will comfort you because you smell so sweetly
i will kiss your cool bark and hug you safe and tight just as your mother would, only don’t be afraid
look the spangles that sleep all the year in a dark box dreaming of being...

do you know if a bar of melted dark chocolate will work the same as chocolate bark? We used all our chocolate chips up last night, and I don’t want to run to the store. I wouldn’t be able to make very many, but I’d be able to make a few…
No idea, but I want to say yes, it should harden fine.
Actually, I want to say GET IN MY MOUTH, but that’s a given.

WatchHave Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Note: I had not yet showered at the time I recorded this video. Probably a bad decision, but it’s hard to find a few consecutive minutes of quiet in my house, so I’ll take what I can get.

Rebecca and I ruled out ever owning more than two dogs.
A pack of chinchillas, however, is still on the table.

Books are bad (because she said so!)
Manager: (pointing to my book laying by my bag) So, you know that new rule about no reading on weekends.
Me: I haven't even read it except for five minutes when nobody was around.
Manager: Well, you shouldn't even have it. You can't read on weekends. That's the rule.
Me: Even when there are no customers?
Manager: Yes.
Me: Why?
Manager: Because I said so.
Me: Ok, well I'm just wondering the reason behind that.
Manager: Because it looks bad.
Me: Right.

sleepanddream:
“because that is the nature of love, because one walks alone through the ruins of the heart, because the young must sleep
with their eyes open, because the angels tremble from so much beauty, because memory moves in orbits of absence,
because she holds her hands out in the rain, and rain remembers nothing, not even how it became itself.”

I Am Locking the Wikipedia Article on Our Sex Life... →
Locking the article has also become necessary to prevent the constant reinsertion of a section with the heading “Like a Cowardly Slug That’s Just Spotted a Pile of Salt,” detailing at length the uncharacteristically unsatisfying night we shared in a Paris hotel last summer. As I made clear several times on the talk page of our sex life, that was a completely...

SUDDEN MANHATTAN, Meaghan O'Connell
poetry365:
“You should be in love,” he tells me
We look at each other always with guilt and turn away.
(What revelations I suffer at your hands).
Every time I cross the street I glance sidelong into traffic hoping you are in all of the cars.
And for days after people say hello Behind me on the sidewalk And my heart stops.
I brighten the way only a man who loved me would...

I’m watching Twilight for my Gender Comm paper. There isn’t enough liquor in Dublin to excite me for the next two hours of my life.
Hah. I’m actually doing a research project on “Vampirism as an Analogue for Rape Culture”. I plan to use Breaking Dawn from the Twilight series and Dracula.

"Because he played the world's tinest drum set"
I have two more Twitter followers today who think that I’m the drummer from Weezer.
I don’t understand. What would give you even the vaguest impression (aside from my name, of course) after reading my Twitter feed that I’m the drummer in an internationally-known rock band?
Recent tweets from myself:
“Studying for a test while I’m at work tonight. Nothing...

until you spend four hours on a Wednesday night at a bar with one of your professors.
Which?
Wayne Miller.
Prufer, Johnson, and Phong were there too, but they were on their own little professors island. Wayne actually sat with us.
What a champ. I loved that guy.

This Place Ain't For Sale, Just Rent
m-shapes:
Poetry had left me several days before— left our whole damn apartment a mess. “Thees” and “thous” were strung across the ceiling like spit wads, a careless collage of phrases— his last big bash, before our eventual collapse. He didn’t even bother to clean up the ink smears across the wooden floor where he kissed me— my knees, elbows, and nose—and when he kissed my mouth, his words...
