In a perfect world

Then I'll dig a tunnel from my window to yours, yeah a tunnel from my window to yours. You climb out the chimney and meet me in the middle, the middle of the town. And since there's no one else around, we let our hair grow long and forget all we used to know, then our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow.



Every day can be opposite day.

From what I have seen everyone is mentally challenged. Everyone. You’re crazy. I’M CRAZY. Most people think their brain is challenged in the right way. But, everyone knows real crazy people don't think they're crazy. One mentally challenged person judging another. As you attempt to blend in with the rest but make sure to stand out just enough to be envied just a little, people think you're nuts...you see?

OPPOSITE DAY EVER DAY SILENCE WHEN VOICES ARE DESPERATLY NEEDED WORDS WHEN ONLY HUGS WILL DO I'M TIRED YOU'RE AWAKE TO OFTEN GET A LIFE STOP SEEING SO MANY PEOPLE WALK STOP FIGHT KNEEL LIFE DEATH DEAD MEAT VEGETARIAN HOT DOGS DEAD ROBINS ON THE ROAD BLUE BIRD ON YOUR BIRD BATH

jello is for the weak of heart

You know those things that my English teachers would make me do? She made us write non stop for 2 minutes and we weren't a loud to stop or backspace.

Kiss me better and I will wait until the sky is flying above your head and under mine you will race against time but soon the buzzer will buz or that ding will ding I wonder why time is spent day dreaming about waiting for someone to swoosh you off your tired ass when really you jut want a back rub and some hot tea I will wait until I hit one of those depressed spells I keep reading about and you keep pretending to fear about waiting is for the strong at heart its even worse to wait when you’ve waited before and finally the time came when that dinger dung but still that waiting bit has messed up priorities and no real feel of what could count as real urgency while I the greatest moper of them all waits for something she’s already waited for even I’m not sure if I’m making this clear clear clear even when you find what you’re waiting for you are forced to wait because they’re still waiting for something else and you weren’t what they were waiting for whoops their bad you’re a happy bump in the road I know how it feels you treated others like they were just happy or even mediocre bumps in the road and now you’re finally that bump how does it feel now chump the past bumps who have by this time ironed themselves straight are laughing and laughing oh how they laugh I wonder how long I will wait what if I get the iron out right now oh that’s right I said it the iron I’ll start with my heart and end with that one toe that curves a bit too much to the left kiss me you fool oh you cant because you’re under a waterfall maybe that is your ding that is what you’re waiting for but that water will run cold and all you’ll be left with is a half ironed out heart broken fool.

He’s only famous because he’s been shot nine times

Today you are going to not only smile to your co-workers you are going to great them by their names and ask what they did on the weekend. You’ll make sure to have a twinkle in your eye as you ask and you’ll make just the right amount of eye contact. When they ask you what your week looks like you’ll give a short but intelligent answer about how the future looks hectic yet positive.

As you place your jacket on the back of your chair you will greet the person to your right and you’ll walk over to the new girl, greet her by name, and ask if she’s settling in alright. You say something that will bond the two of you almost instantly and then will go back to your desk and press *89 to check your phone messages.

Then the majority of your emails will be ‘thank you’ notes from almost strangers and your three bosses. You decide today is the day to introduce yourself to boss number four and you will shake his hand firmly. You know, as you shake his hand, your smile will be calming and he will complement you on your top, the perfectly pressed top you ironed an hour and a half ago. But first, the girls are calling you to come for coffee.

"Just half a sec," you sing as you reach for your wallet.A folded square piece of paper falls; you pick up the paper and discover it’s a love note.

"How did that get in there?" You sashay to your friends with embarrassed red cheeks. You shyly tell the girls about the note and they surround you looking over your shoulder reading the note aloud.

"'I’ll be waiting for you…' ohhhh," they say laughing. Then each quickly talks over each other explaining why they think you should elope and only invite the five of them.

After you get what everyone thinks is a white chocolate mochachino with whip, which actually is just hot water, you sit down and make important phone calls. You make sure to set up important business meetings over the phone during lunch hour and then you take your lunch at 2:30 because that’s when the gym is the emptiest.

Finally, with a bit of a head ache, you are about to leave for the day. You open your secret stationary drawer, write 'I love you more than when I did yesterday,' fold the paper into a perfect square and gently tuck it into your wallet for tomorrow.

I really miss you when you're not around

Friday nights at Meghan's house = OH MY GOD SO MUCH FUN!

That was a lie.

But, I do smell like strawberries and passion fruit - but there's no one to smell me.
______________

I have teary eyes because I just came back from watching a sad show and now I'm lonely.
______________

I'm chowing down on two Oreo cookies and a camp fire smoke smell is drifting into my room. Fuzz from trees are floating in slow motion past my window and I'm contemplating going back for more... cookies.
