Quiet Things

Tue, 08 May 2012 11:47:02 -0400

Maurice Sendak died today.
And it’s raining.
And my feet hurt.
And my heart aches for that little girl,
bright blonde hair with a big red bow in it,
cross-legged on a rug,
mouth open in wonder.

good afternoon, world.

it’s been a while.

since my last post, i’ve moved, two of my best friends moved away, i started grad school, and my work has entered a state of complete upheaval.

as those of you who’ve known me for more than two years know, i don’t do well with change. or without my codependent life partners.

i’m not dealing well.

i’m taking it out on the people i love.

so i guess it’s time to start writing again.

loveyoumissyou:

I need a “No Pants Weekend” soon.

reblogged from funeralface:

I really hate wearing pants.

I feel like a fool

I wish you would think twice on me

FREE DOWNLOAD!!

Way back before the release of Batten the Hatches, before “Hot in Herre” was even a twinkle in my eye, my go-to Top 40 cover was Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”

I found this old recording while sorting through CDs in preparation to move and thought “Let them eat cake/download this for free/engage in indulgent activity of their choice.” Sooo from my archive to your hard drive. Click on the picture to get something for nothing!

One reblogger of this post is getting a postcard in the mail from me! Winner on Friday! Wooooo!

She played this the first time I saw her live, like 5 years ago. Still love it.

Thinking of Jenny Owen Youngs, then thinking of you. “Skillet on the stove it’s such a temptation, maybe I’ll be the lucky one that doesn’t get burned…”

Love you, Birdie.

two photographs:

the first of me, two years old, my hand on my mother’s face, her eyes closed, mine locked with the camera.

the second, a year later, a big bow and a bigger crown, pressing my father’s cheek to mine.

this week:

sister head on sister shoulder, sister palm in sister palm,

stomachs down, looking at pictures

twenty years, his voice is gone.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO STEAL MY E E CUMMINGS BOOK!:

lillielemonade:

You are tired, (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing; And so am I.

Come with me, then, And we’ll leave it far and far away— (Only you and I, understand!)

You have played, (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break,…

this tornado loves you.

i said i would,
i will
let go

of fear
(that i cannot)

of anger
(that you did not)

of hatred
(that i am not)

there is no almost
there is no if

only

forward motion

(you did not betray me because you were not thinking of me)
(i did not leave you because you don’t exist)

Obviously, I grew up in love with Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez. So did everybody. He was super nice, he could play ball, and he had big eyebrows. Plus he was like nine years older than me. Dreamboat status.

Through a series of strange internet events, I wound up on The Sandlot’s IMDB page today, and found out that Mike Vitar (who?! the actor who played Benny the Jet!) grew up to be six feet tall and a firefighter in LA. He was married in 2007.

Fire. Fighter. Who is this man’s wife? Why isn’t it me?
