Status Update - Chin Hair

One of life's greatest joys is tweezing a tenacious chin hair. I almost miss the one I had in my mid-20s, just for the joy of tracking it down and yanking it out.

Status Update - Garden Ridge

I have not been to Garden Ridge in 5 years. In that time it has gone from an overwhelming emporium of craft supplies and home decor to a steaming pile of Hoosierville.

Sonnet #2

Obsession captures my heart in a vise.
Love was never supposed to be like this.
All my passions, one look would not suffice.
I'm supposed to be enraptured by bliss.
But bliss has come and marked the beginning
Of my journey into a hellish place.
All your love, your laughing smile so winning
Has sucked all the happiness from my space.
Give me back the world that once was my own.
Let me return to the way my life was.
Solace and solitude are all I've known.
Oh God, just leave me alone, because
I cannot love for fear of seeing hell.
If you love me, my soul I'll surely sell.

Facebook exchange - Seems legit

We are discussing the winter weather......

S: I totally get it, for rillz. It's so candy ass out there, I feel really sorry for my dog. 
C: I do too! She tries elevated squatting and it's redick. 
S: I would be elevating my squatting as well if my only other option was dipping my vadge in the snow.

Sonnet #1

If I should cry, I'm sure you wouldn't care
But time and my life will go flying by.
In sixty years I won't care if you've died
But for right now my love just isn't fair.
Your silence has been more than I can bear
So now I will lay my head down and cry.
I guess I'd rather you tell the truth than lie.
I think I'll kill myself, but would I dare?
I thought that I'd be in love forever,
But then you came along and crushed my dreams.
And now sweetness falls and night engulfs me.
I fall into an abyss of never
And death is imminent, or so it seems.
I want to be shadows, not reality.

Status update - Gamble


I don't even have class for another 2 hours and I've already heard "Ms O, you're gonna be mad at me. I left my poetry portfolio at home." 

Amy doesn't think "Shut up! My vagina is exploding!" will be acceptable, but I'm willing to take the gamble.

Status update - trash cans and 'tude

My nephew Stephen was born on this day 18 years ago and I will always remember it because it was crazy windy. I got home from school and my mom called to tell me that my sister had had the baby; would I mind chasing down the trash cans that had migrated down the street? 
I was 17,















so you can imagine my attitude.
