I’m impressed. You managed to keep your eyes closed and listen to your ipod (nano, black, 1st generation) and make it off on your stop. I can only assume that you were counting how many times the train stopped. You also must have been listening to 80’s power ballads. I say this because no one would expect that from you. I find it awesome. Your nano had a white rubber case that...

question:
why on earth would a long tailed cat get stuck in a room full of rocking chairs? more to the point, why on earth would someone dedicate an entire room to only rocking chairs?

brian: so that's all you're having for breakfast?
me: well no, i mean i might have some sun chips.
brian: wow. i could never do that. i always have to eat breakfast. what are you doing for lunch?
me: well today i got a microwave pizza. and maybe some more chips.
brian: your diet fascinates me.
me: i know, right?
brian: you have the dream diet of a nine year old. you're actually the kid who said, "when i grow up, i'm only going to eat candy and drink soda," and meant it.
me: i'm awesome.

It certainly looks like you’ve had a long day. Your eyes are heavy and sleepy. However, it does look like your day was productive. I’m assuming that it was your day off. You have a full shopping bag from h & m. Your hair is red, but not naturally so. Your eyes are an incredible, piercing, blue. And naturally so. I’m a big fan of the beret clip-thing in your hair,...

thanks dad, you're like, the coolest.
today is my dad’s birthday so i thought i would write something. on my other tumblr, livefrommybedroom.tumblr.com, i recorded a song that he wrote many years before i was born. there’s a cool story behind this. the immediately story is that he wrote it around the time he was my age and was feeling a lot of the same feelings that i have so often felt. about not being where he wanted to be,...

Plane Letters...
i officially plan on adopting this:
walpaper:
It’s been awhile since I’ve written one. I believe I wrote my first Plane Letter in Jr. High, though it could have been earlier. Plane Letters are long (five or more pages) notes which are written to a friend or love interest. These can have drawings, mazes and games embedded between the rambling text.
Once written, the letter is placed within an...

an eskimo sighting: (preface)
When I was a little boy my mom used to tell me something. Needless to say, it stuck. Whenever we were out traveling the town/world/universe, and we witnessed or were subject to random acts of kindness from total strangers, my momma would say that we just met an Eskimo. Now, my mommy is a brilliant woman and completely aware of the fact that said Eskimo was not in actuality a real Eskimo, but...
an eskimo sighting:
I was walking home from the subway today, from a long damn day at work. Curiously, I was walking a bit slower than usual. Perhaps this was because it wasn’t “punch you in the face” cold, or because my feet hurt, or maybe just because. Anyway, as I was about to get to my street to take a left and get home, I certainly saw something that totally made my day. As I was walking by a restaurant, I...

You look tired. Like you haven’t had a solid night’s sleep in months. This is why I’ve decided that your tea tastes of berry and your name is Victoria. I realize the two are unrelated but I am just as sleepy. You’re not a fan of being called Vicky. You have an amazing black jacket that looks impossibly warm, you have blue jeans and black uggs from what I can assume. You have a tan bag that...

I knew your name immediately. Hello, Maria, you look like you’re freezing. Your brown hair is up, showing off your very red, very adorable ears. I am also quite the fan of your dark eyes. They happen to be a deep, chocolate, brown. I want you to know that all black is a very good choice for you. The gold accents are a good choice for you and your coat. It’s a nice touch. ...

you were wearing a burgundy beanie with sunglasses tucked comfortably on top. a tan jacket, green scarf, and a red sweater. an ipod nano (previous generation) was involved. I’ve decided that you were listening to Maroon 5 due simply to the playful nature you were exuding. Your eyes are magnificent and dark, dark brown. You had two purses, one black, and one with a green strap. You were...
