Right now would be the perfect time
to find out I got into grad school. Eh? Eh?
…How about now? Still no. Maybe later then? Maybe they’ll tell me later? RIGHT GUYS? RIGHT?

House, is that the water heater doing that thing
or are you just about to explode everywhere?
(if you know what i mean.)
(i just spelled “know” like “no” on the first try and that, ladies and gents, is how i know it’s time for bed.)

I want to go home.
I’m thankful for where I am and I don’t want to be too complainy, but I just really, really want to go home.
Have not gotten to roast marshmallows on the fire in the backyard or eat dinner with my grandparents or be rudely woken up by my parents’ dog in much too long.

What the Living Do
Johnny, the kitchen sink has been clogged for days, some utensil probably fell down there. And the Drano won’t work but smells dangerous, and the crusty dishes have piled up

the open living-room windows...

I want so much
to like this holiday but there is just too much pressure from society to be all perky and bubbly and lovey but I am just a little too German for that and I want to be normal Erika who broods and uses sarcasm to hide from feelings but I feel like I’m supposed to be wearing pink at a sock hop because it’s February 14th or something help.
