i’m going to canada in a week. i’ve never been out of the county before, so i’m not really sure mentally how i should feel about it. i keep telling pepole i’m excited, because that’s how i think i should feel. but i don;t really know. i just feel pretty average about it. like, “oh, [...]

phoetus wrote about the word profound 1 year, 6 months ago
i think that’s my problem. i keep wanting to write something profound that people will read and think “wow, look at that incredibly intelligent sixteen year old.” and then i end up sitting here writing something cheesy and hoping someone will like it, just hoping for attention of something, anything. see my use of commas [...]

we got my mom one of these for her birthday the other day. not in the human sense. this one is grey and really soft. you sit on your bed with your back against it, like a cushioned, supportive headboard. when i was younger, she told me it was called a reader. liar. ;)

sacrifice. lambs. poor lambs. i never understood that. why does killing something else reestablish reaffirm rewhatever someone’s “faith”? or “commitment”? it doesn’t make sense. “i would do anything for you, including ‘kill this lamb’. watch me, see?”

phoetus wrote about the word shepherd 1 year, 6 months ago
i just finished writing about religion, so of course i’m in a jesus-y mood. which kills me, because it seems so catholic-school-conventional. but there you have it. jesus is a shepherd. we are the flock. because that’s what the bible says. so it must be true. i’m not sure why i have a problem with [...]

phoetus wrote about the word relate 1 year, 7 months ago
its funny, because i was sitting here waiting in that millisecond between hitting “go” and seeing the word that pops up, in that millisecond between when the word pops up and when you register what the words actually is and what it means. so i was sitting here, and i thought “hm. i’m tired. i [...]

i’ve been doing much too much science. well, it’s not that i’m doing too much, it’s just that it’s taking up so much of my time. i take too many notes. but then i need to stop and wait to be picked up and taken home before i can continue. because the point of my [...]

Warfare. this is such a powerful topic, too hard to write about in 60 seconds. so much to be said in 60 seconds. in 60 seconds,so much to say, but it takes less time than that for just one person to die. and less time than that for hundreds of people to die. in 60 [...]
