Christine Oania wrote about the word iron 7 months, 2 weeks ago
the inner core of the earth is made of mostly metal alloys, iron in particular. because iron is so dense, it gradually sinks deeper and deeper into the earth creating layers of different rock and metal (in order of density) until hitting the core. normally it would be pure liquid since it’s so goddamn hot [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word sports 1 year, 4 months ago
I had a dream that I could time-travel. I decided that middle school would be the best choice so I could woo my present-day boyfriend sooner and not have to go through all of the inevitable torture that my other boyfriends offered. Anyway my point is, in that dream I had to play football and [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: immense 1 year, 5 months ago
I’ve never been much of a believer, but the immense desire to have faith in something lingers, more than lingers, it hovers like a thick fog on a sad sky day. But personally I never thought rain was very sad.

willow won’t you wander with me,
weep amongst the children of your seed
the leaves, they scatter
the branches, they stir
restless in the wind, they are but fragile reeds
willow why won’t you cry for your long lost children?December 8th, 2010. 12:34pm.

Christine Oania wrote about the word: nail 1 year, 5 months ago
There are these nails on my windows that I look at everyday. I’ve unscrewed them three times, for all nine nails. My father’s screwed them back in for just as many instances. I just want— I don’t know what I want, I’m just writing to write but I don’t know what to say. December 5th, [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: bunny 1 year, 5 months ago
I really want a bunny hat for winter. Not a hat made of bunnies though, just one that looks like it. I was about to put a “D:” in there but then I remembered that I’m better than that. “I’m cringing for myself when I cringe for you-u..” And it must be in shades of [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: transport 1 year, 5 months ago
Take me somewhere, anywhere that isn’t under this roof. I remember the ambulance, the broken phone, the caterpillar that no one forgot because no one noticed. I wrote and I wrote and I wrote but where was I in the end? Where did I go? My dreams fly me away on their wings, and for [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: copper 1 year, 5 months ago
There was a copper taste in my mouth. Nothing unusual, it’s a flavor I’ve come to enjoy over the years after developing a firm habit biting the insides of my mouth, and my lips. At any given point in time their pinkness would be blotched with shades of red. I’d ask my boyfriends to bite [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: closed 1 year, 5 months ago
I want to close this book because I am afraid and I’ve never read a book that makes me scared to walk out my own room and use a toilet because I’m paranoid that the hand of my ex-boyfriend will reach through and molest me while I pee. But the thing is, I can’t put [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: affection 1 year, 5 months ago
A life without love is a life I would prefer not to live, I’ve realized. I like the little words we share between each comfortable silence when he’s listening to music and I read, and I like it when we’re angry at each other because even though we don’t think we like each other at [...]

Christine Oania wrote about the word: understood 1 year, 5 months ago
I logged on earlier today to check the word of the day and upon the discovery of today’s entry I immediately closed my browser. I think there’s a part of me that’s afraid of writing about understanding, for fear of being misunderstood. And there’s another part of me that says that I have no idea [...]

They fall down like angels. All of them different, therefore all of them the same. Simple, white, untouched like virgins.

Christine Oania wrote about the word: habit 1 year, 6 months ago
I have the habit of– I don’t even want to write right now. That’s another one of my habits. I start things without the heart to see it to the end. It breaks my heart. Or it would if I had one.

Christine Oania wrote about the word: science 1 year, 6 months ago
There is nothing science can tell me that I don’t already understand. It’s just that I don’t really need an explanation for the fullness of my heart, the bass in its beat, or the tremble in my fingers when they color in his jawline with their nails.

Christine Oania commented on the blog post killed 1 year, 6 months ago
I had a dream last night that I was a princess. Or at least I was going to be a princess because my boyfriend happened to be a prince. We must have fast-forwarded through an Asian drama because I don’t know how my boyfriend got from skater/Kanye-ist to prince but whatever. Anyway the reason why [...]

Christine Oania commented on the blog post cowboy 1 year, 6 months ago
So strange that you give me this word because I JUST SO HAPPEN TO BE A COWBOY. I know, I don’t look the part but it’s what’s inside that counts, and in this case, my insides are made of ten gallon hats and stallions. Get at me bitch.

I am a blank slate on the market like a doll, or a coffee mug. I don’t know what else to tell you but read my back for instructions on how-to-use.

Christine Oania wrote about the word shore 1 year, 6 months ago
Go. The shore is not the place I want to be, but it’s the song I want to listen to the most, the melody I can’t remember. A metamorphosis of sorts, my eyelids forgot how to shut and my mouth has finally learned how to close.
