fichissimo:
The telephone never rings. Still you pick it up, smile into the static, the breath of those you’ve loved; long dead. The leaf you pick from the fall rises and dips away with every ridge. Fingers stiff from time, you trace. Staring off into a distance limned by cataracts and other…

Second verse, same as the first: today's thoughts...
Cut for length:
We’ve six draws in nine games played at Anfield. That’s the truth and that’s the story, and I think any Red would agree that that’s unacceptable. While a couple of those draws were against top-four teams (the Manchester clubs) in satisfactory, if not desirable, results, the remaining four came against Sunderland, Norwich, Swansea, and now...

I find poems from a variety of sources—things I have discovered on my own, recommendations from friends, various poetry blogs I...

feel better!
thank you!
warning: this is really, really TMI (and a really long post) about my wisdom teeth removal and the resulting shitty day I had, mostly for my own catharsis and self-pity:
when I woke up from surgery, it was fine—I was groggy, but the IV with the anesthesia didn’t hurt too much, and my mom drove me home and I fell asleep right away on the couch
I woke up again when my dad came back...

Holy fucking shit.
Luis Suarez banned for eight matches for racial abuse of Patrice Evra.
LFC’s statement in response to the ruling is simultaneously incredible and terrible, especially the but-he-has-black-friends defense. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of rhetoric from a football club, not even Mourinho’s Real Madrid last spring.

my classmates got into Harvard, Princeton, and Yale today
…I got into U of L
(edit: I should clarify that these people totally deserve to be accepted and are going to do great things there. I’m just envious that they already know their plans while I have to wait until April.)
