Squint your eyes and look closer, I'm not between you and your ambition. I am a poster girl with no poster. I am thirty-two flavors and then some. And I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head cause someday you're going to get hungry and eat most of the words you just said.
Both my parents taught me about good will and I have done well by their names. Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers is more than I can explain, still there's many who've turned out their porch lights just so I would think they were not home and hid in the dark of their windows til I'd passed and left them alone.
And God help you if you are an ugly girl, course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room. And God help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash, athousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying back.
I'm not trying to give my life meaning by demeaning you and I would like to state for the record I did everything that I could do. I'm not saying that I'm a saint. I just don't want to live that way. No, I will never be a saint, but I will always say squint your eyes and look closer. I'm not between you and your ambition. I am a poster girl with no poster. I am thirty-two flavors and then some. And I'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head cause someday you might find you're starving and eating all of the words you said.

I've been a purely sporadic blogger in the past. I only wrote when I felt inspired or overwhelmed by certain aspects of my life. Consequently I've created literary black holes between my epic blogs that fail to depict my day to day inner workings of my sometimes cluttered, sometimes confused, always cheery mind. So this is my vow to blog on the mundane, the ordinary, and the sometimes salacious events of my life.
I made cookies and cupcakes last night and I still have green food coloring embedded in my nails. It's distracting me from writing because I keep lifting up my pinkie and ring finger to stare intently at the green ridges around my nails; like the pure power of my stare will make the food coloring disappear. So far, my stare is powerless against the green.
My friends and I watched Teeth last night. What better way to kick off the Halloween season than eating cupcakes and cookies while watching a horror movie about a girl who has teeth in her vagina? Surprisingly, the movie wasn't that bad! Granted I've now seen more bloody, castrated penises than I've ever cared to see in my lifetime but all the genital gore aside, I liked it! I still find it incredibly hard to believe that one girl would be taken advantage of sexually by that many men but then again, I was watching a movie about a vagina with teeth.
Best quote of the movie, "I haven't jerked off since Easter!" (Which by the way, by this movie's standards is a decent enough of an excuse to rape someone.)
After everyone left, I was once again reminded that I have to call my landlord about the clog in my kitchen sink. Washing huge cupcake pans is really tedious in my tiny bathroom sink.
I've been reading "Running With Scissors" (I know, this book came out awhile ago, give me a break, I'm late to jump on the band wagon!) before bed every night. Last night the chapter "Mastabatorium" just didn't sit well with me after watching Teeth. Something is creepy about a therapist who has a Mastabatorium he uses between clients for when he needs to "relieve himself." It made me wonder if any of my doctors have ever done that. It's just strange to think of your doctor doing anything else other than walking around in a white lab coat writing prescriptions.
Today is Ben Folds day. I'm excited! I hope he plays "The Luckiest." It's such a beautiful song. :)
I think this ends my vow to blog for the day. I leave you with the pictures of my new niece, Miss Nicole Silvestri.
