boredom (for now)
i know sometime i’ll miss these days, when i have a job that pays with bills piled up to the ceiling and i have long since lost the feeling of sitting here, inside my head no chore to coax me out of bed. the minutes pass with ticking clock, rare inspirations come to knock. i want to notice everything the change from winter into spring the grooves of every grassy blade and bright red petals neatly...

a small, yet recurring reflection
i love people. and, by this, i don’t mean people in general (although i care for humanity, of course). but i mean really building relationships that go far deeper than small talk. learning about someone and their life, sharing stories, gleaning wisdom, creating things, talking, listening, seeing needs and meeting them—it’s probably the best thing about this life, as far as...
sleep, and not getting enough of it
me: oh my gosh! aren't you so tired, though?
Parker: i could've gone for a little more sleep, but i'll sleep when i'm dead, right?
me: yes, that IS true
Parker: or maybe i'll just be dead when i'm dead

And, if I had but one more hour, To simply be your Prairie Flower, We’d shoot lead pellets at tin cans, And feed the...

voyeuristically, one of my favorite things about sundays
i often have dreams about teeth.
apparently this could mean a number of things: i’m anxious, malnourished, have a sick loved one, even that i’m fearful of sexual impotence. or, perhaps i’m going through very early menopause.
i had no idea there were rules.
“Pillow fights are a game played to let out energy and rage in a mostly harmless way. In a pillow fight players can split up into teams or just fend for themselves. Then each player either starts off with a pillow or has to find the pillows hidden throughout the house. Then each player starts to attack the other player with the pillow, trying to avoid being smacked by a player in the head....
