My computer is dead.
I’m having to use the boyfran’s to check my Tumblr and such. :-( Sad days.
Sway With Me
mirrorsandfevers:
sway with me, everything sad — madmen in stone houses without doors, lepers steaming love and song frogs trying to figure the sky; sway with me, sad things — fingers split on a forge old age like breakfast shell used books, used people used flowers, used love I need you I need you I need you: it has run away like a horse or a dog, dead or lost or unforgiving.

Reel Big Fish
That show was the best show I’ve ever been to. I barely even glanced at the band while they were on stage. I was so caught up in dancing, in screaming the lyrics with strangers that locked arms with me, in looking at all of the smiling faces. Ska really is the best kind of music, and it brings together the best kind of people.
Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten. She was standing in the sun...

Why can’t I read your mind? It is so easy for me to figure others out, but you, only you, puzzle me. I love you and you love me, it should be that easy. Where does this tension come from that I sometimes feel between us? It bothers me, it makes me question what I so firmly believe in, which is you, and what we have.

When he asked me why I loved you, the first thing I remembered was when you brought me sunflowers because they were my favorite, and because you were sorry. And when you looked at me and kissed me underneath the fireworks. When you held my hand after we knocked on that hotel door as we were running towards the elevators so we wouldn’t get caught. That night we danced under the stars...

(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.
I am in love with every single part of you. The space between your eyebrows that can fit my kiss, your fingernails, even though you bite them down to the quick, the prickles on your cheek that you get when you go a few days without shaving, your calves that are always so tense from skateboarding, your hair and the way it curls, the dimples you get when you smile at me, your lips, oh my God, your...

there is someone for everyone. today, I was buying some new dresses and a man walked in wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. he is definitely not for me, but he is for someone. and someone is for him. and someone is for me. and you know what, if I change to be like Beyonce or Rachel Zoe or Hilary Swank (totally random, I know), he won’t recognise me under all the sequins and...

i love her…
…when she sings. no one sings like she does, no one. in the car, her energy conducts hotwired music. she exhales along with the sound system and she becomes the song that’s stuck in my head.
I am the lightning
pulsing through your every vein
and stealing your breath.

Me: Thanks for choosing Starbucks. What can I get for you?
Customer: Yeah, what's an iced coffee with milk?
Me: Oh ummm, well it's Iced coffee... with ummm milk.
Customer: Ok, I'll have one.
Me: What size would you like?
Customer: I want the iced coffee.
Me: Ok, what size?
Customer: I said Iced Coffee
Me: Ok yeah. you know, sometimes it's really hard to hear the passenger person. So, I got that you want the Iced Coffee, I just need to know what size now.
Customer: Oh, hmmm the medium one... sorry.
Me: fuck you
ok I didn't really say fuck you, but in my little head I did.

Lol, I wouldn't know what to say if someone asked me what iced coffee with milk was. I would be like WTF ARE YOU STUPID.
I work at Starbucks as well...we have a shit ton of stupid customers.
