when my professor told that to me
i don't think this is what he had in mind
i missed another day of class
i got a text saying "skipping class again? see you monday" at around 8 AM
that's what woke me up
i saw my alarm had gone off
and that i didn't even hit snooze
i wonder what was going on in my head
what i was dreaming about
or maybe i was still in REM sleep so early in the morning
the sound didn't reach my ears
i almost went to school
but the second i realized i was going for the wrong reasons
i got undressed
"it's better to show up late than not at all"
he's right but...
"...my bed is so comfy"
What movies do you have memorized? Bonus points for sharing your favorite quote.

I wouldn't say I have it memorized
Specially since I haven't seen it in so long
...but it's the one movie I remember the best
"it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything"
"i felt like destroying something beautiful"
"Marla... the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it, but you can't"
"i felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke"
Soo...I looked up that last one. I knew the gist of it, I just couldn't put the words together.
So I cheated, but I still get bonus points for sharing.

& make it personal
without it really getting too personal
[or maybe getting as personal as personal gets]
How and when do you reward yourself?
Submitted by Rainbird.
Your hands may shake slightly around your coffee mug
You may feel physically uncomfortable
But this is a familiar action
Something you’re sure of
Slow inhale - draw it out
Let the nicotine wash it all away
Clear your head – push back the emotional tide
Exhale
Tap off the ash
It keeps you occupied, this ritual
Keeps your hands busy
Always in motion
Gives you something to do
Nervous habit – can’t sit still
Stillness makes you look bored and unimpressed
Makes people ask you things you don’t want to answer
Stillness draws attention
Attention you can’t handle
Attention you don’t know how to process
Between the movements, you worry that you’re transparent
You must keep up the façade
So you raise your cigarette again
Parting your lips to breathe in your bitter sanity
my body is tired from a lack of
energy and food.
today was difficult to endure.
there were too many urges,
there were too many words,
there was too much pain,
there was just too much.
I knew that was going to happen, I predicted those skim reading abilities, Like a Ozy loves sake... read more
