Today

Today is a good day.

A poem about my first kiss will be my first poem published.

Hugs for everyone!

Scrubs Quote ofthe Day

Of course I'm holding back! I'm insane, you idiot! Remember the other day, when you told me that I had pit stains? Well, I have cried every fifteen minutes on the half-hour since you told me that. I am wracked with self-doubt. I have panic attacks. I'm claustrophobic, germaphobic, phobiaphobic. I talk to myself. I talk to my cat. I talk to three separate shrinks about the fact that often my cats respond to me in my mother's voice.

And yesterday, when that stupid pretty surgical nurse handed you a pair of latex gloves, I almost killed the guy whose leg I was stitching up because I couldn't stop thinking about the two of you having sex on a box of steaks! Why a box of steaks? 'Cause my dad had an affair with a female butcher! And, as I mentioned before, I am insane. There! I opened up! Are you happy?

- Elliot

I'm Guessing

Everyone at one point in their lives looks around and asks, "What does everybody else know that I don't?"

I'm in limbo - and not the fun, get grandma drunk, put a party hat on her head, see how far she can lean back before her artificial hip breaks kind - but the depressing confusing kind.

Quote ofthe Day

"As she rubs Louis's back, Clarissa thinks, Take me with you. I want a doomed love. I want streets at night, wind and rain, no one wondering where I am."

10 Things I Think About

10 Things I Think About While Waiting to Board an Airplane

1. Who sitting around me has a fear of flying

2. How many people just said goodbye to someone they love

3. How many people are on some form of medication

4. How many people in the terminal are unhappy

5. Why some people prefer window v. aisle

6. Who is flying to see someone they love

7. Will we hit turbulence & will it be the fun kind or the scary kind

8. Who is the person that I'll end up sitting next to & will I get to find out

9. How many people just said goodbye to someone they are glad to leave

10. What do other people think about when they wait to board a plane
