Bus Observations

It is a few degrees cooler than I'd like in here, but I am comfortable nonetheless. There's a couple sitting in front of me and they're pretty adorable. I looked over the woman's shoulder and noticed that she was holding a bunch of website printouts with different tourist information like important historical DC neighborhoods and where to get the best cupcake. I wanted to make sure it was the same place I suspected. It was (Georgetown Cupcakes). Through some eavesdropping/listening I learned that the other half of the couple doesn't like cupcakes, a sentence I had trouble believing. Who doesn't like cupcakes? I would understand if maybe you were vegan and couldn't eat eggs (kinda sorta), or if you were allergic or something. But to straight up dislike them? That's like saying "I don't like anything awesome or delicious. And I particularly dislike something that embodies both of these." Ridiculous. Anywho, She was also holding up a paper that explained where to either get the best tater tots or a list of places to get tater tots in the area. Unfortunately, this information is something I don't have and would like to. I love me some tater tots.

Something else that is noteworthy on this otherwise uneventful bus ride is a woman sitting across the aisle from the couple. She has been eating pork rinds for almost the entirety of the trip, going on 3 hours and 47 minutes now. I'm almost certain that I haven't eaten a pork rind in nine years, but if pork rinds are what makes this woman content sitting in her small area, next to a person with curly hair, gender currently unidentifiable, then you go, girl.

Ugh, now I do wish the driver would make the temperature a few degrees warmer.

short-term future plans

I used to be really into cooking/playing with food. By playing I mean messing around with various flavor combinations, hoping to reach success. I stopped for a while, but now I've become motivated to pick it up again. I have so ideas that I hope to create soon. If they work out, I plan on writing them down in some kind of journal. Ideas: almond blueberry pancakes, grilled gouda cheese with apricot jam (maybe with bacon?), avocado blueberry ceviche. Let me know if any of these are something you'd be willing to try :)

Here Comes the _______ Again.

good thing rain is expected tomorrow because I have a shit-ton of paper-writing to do. What an exciting last weekend as an undergraduate college student! (NOT).

The Way They Curl

One under the other;

One ends and one begins.

Which is which?

There is no weight,

No discomfort, no imbalance.

There is beauty

There.

Poems Don't Have to Rhyme, ya know?

The many faces of strangers pass me by
We exchange
We look
We wonder

All of us
Alone and together
Individuals and masses

We can understand ourselves
Through mutual consideration

A Re-Attempt

Fell asleep in a daze
an unpreoccupied place
my mind was numb
and uninhabited

I woke up surrounded
peanut shells strewn
taunting my slumber
violating my bliss

The sinister activities of my waking state,
infinitely dumbfounding.

there's someone

That same someone is in my life right now. I don't get to see him as often as I'd like. What are ya gonna do?
