So I chipped my tooth today.
On a fork in the cafeteria. So yeah, now my right front tooth has a tine shaped piece missing from it.
“That’s what I believe. I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think...”

Today's Longing
I sit in a weathered wooden chair. Its ancient history flows through the wood grain in swirling strings of story. The legs beneath me curve ever so slightly, gracefully downward into the dusty sunlit floor. In the vacant room surrounding me, there is a heavy sense of calm. It is the sort of calm that envelops your very being, filling your lungs up with soft light and blanketing your mind with...
Untitled
I extended my hands forward and turned my palms up. My fingers were slightly curled, and their tips were rosy in contrast to the pallor the rest of my skin. Even as I offered my gesture, she placed her smaller hands on top of mine. Our skin brushed together in the way that we were both so used to. She clutched my hands and shivered, offering a small, sad smile. I gazed into her right eye, losing...
Crash.
His knuckles whitened underneath the rippling surface of his skin. Increasing his stony grip upon the metal controls, he jerked the stick back toward his ribs, fighting for stability. Yet even as he wrestled for control of the helicopter’s erratic dance through the atmosphere he felt his world tipping forward. The screaming torrent of air pushed him forward with alarming swiftness. Icy...

I miss you.
My shadow slipped away. I think it was quite a few months ago. What’s embarrassing is that I believe it happened in strong daylight. Now that I am thinking back upon the event, I recall a slight flicker of stony gray, disappearing through the trees away from the cold winter sun. The absence of your constant companionship was astonishingly vague and subtle. I did not care to fully realize,...
My day today.

Dear Tumblr,
I have not dropped off the face of the planet… just the internet for a while. I’ve been enjoying life, college and new friends. I’ll be posting soon though… stay well in the meantime.

Going to the Movies (And Why I Have a Love/Hate...
Going out to a movie is fun right? It is an exuberant outing, loftily characterized by the timeless symbols of popped corn and ticket stubs. Theaters often imitate the grandeur of 19th century stage theaters. Velvety cushioned seats dressed in deep crimson sit row after row facing the grand screen. Relationships thrive in the dark, flickering light of a movie screen. From young love, to old love,...
A Quick Note on ReBlogging
So, I noticed I gained some followers. YAY! Thanks, I hope you enjoy! I also just want to explain why I haven’t reblogged anything yet. Is he missing the point of Tumblr? Does he not see all of these wonderful things to be reblogged? Nope. I just want a personal blog. Tumblr seemed like the best way to do it, but the point of my blog is not at all to repost what others have come up with....
Roomie
So here I am. 47 short days away from college. Over the weekend, I found out my room information… I’ll be in Plantz 101. I was surprised and fairly disappointed about this. Plantz was honestly my last choice of the residence halls. Also… I haven’t been assigned a roommate yet. I’m sure that it will change, but for now, I am in limbo. It seems like everyone else has...

Reset
Okay. I’m gonna tumble. I swear. I’ve failed 4 or 5 times now to keep up a tumblog. However, within the past 6 months or so, I’ve increasingly wanted to begin and keep a blog. So, here’s how it’s gonna work.
1. I can blog from ANYWHERE now. I just got an iPhone, and between that, my iPad and my computer, I have no excuses anymore to not post.
2. I’m starting a...
