On Learning A Foreign Language
I am a linguaphile. Words, scripts, sounds, languages. They astound me and I am madly in love with them. Of all my interests, what surprises me most about this one is how long it took me to realize it even interested me at all.
It really started the week after I graduated from high school. Learning another language had never even crossed my mind. I took Latin in high school and that was because...

Little Black Sandals
And he says,
Girl, it’s your call,
You wanna fly?
You wanna fall?
And I shout,
Oo I wanna get away from you

For the first time, the law had something to say about people opting to fill their old cellars with “great heaps of turds,” as Samuel Pepys put it in a 1660 journal entry.

pious-blunt-deactivated20120429 asked: In regards to you internet post. There's a really book called Virtually You - The Dangerous Powers of the E-Personality by Elias Aboujouade.

The Bullet Catcher
Tina stood in front of him, licking her ice cream cone in an intentionally obscene way.
“Oh, hi,” she said, pretending to all of a sudden see him.
He almost died. There were men his age who had heart attacks and called it a day over less.

Today I don’t need a replacement
I tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart is going boom, boom, boom
Hey! I’ll say it,
You can keep my things they’ve come to take me home.
