Sometimes, I just wish that my life was being played on some VCR somewhere.
Then, when I say or do something stupid, or when I say something wrong, I could just rewind the tape, and say it like I wanted to say it.
That would be great, but I’m afraid I’d spend all of my time rewinding.

When I was 14, I learned a really valuable lesson.
And it really sucked.
The lesson I learned is that not all of your friends are actually friends. It took me about a year to figure this out, but I did, and at the same time, I learned that sometimes you just have to cut your losses. There are some people who you just can’t be friends with, or rather, that you shouldn’t be close friends with.

Did she find it?

Amanda splashes her face almost every time she comes up out of the water. I'm wondering where she got this from?
Maybe she just likes making a splash in general.
The afternoon ended as it should…with ice cream!

just words
words that I like
words that sound like what they are
words that sound like they taste
words that roll off the tongue
words that are a feast, in and of themselves
orange
enamoured
cool
quinine
hush
pulsating
rhythmic
devine
if you’re a writer of any kind
you know the power of words
not just their meanings
but their structure
how long they are or short they are
or easily comprehended
or hard to digest
Righteous
brittle
colloquial
sob
thunderous
M’s bring your voice down like the mumbled murmurs of a murderous mob
S’s are sssslinky and sssslithery and they sssslide down your gullet
gullet – now that’s a good word
Z’s are more zingy and zippy and even a bit zesty
they’re zealous and so full of zeal
violet
velocity
vindictive
vicious
vociferous
V’s are so very very vivacious!
eviscerate
wretched
absinthe
incinerate
loath
why are so many words I like creepy
harbor
grace
tadpole
elation
how is it that a few simple words can
brighten my mood or make me feel good
or make me feel better about myself
quill
fortitude
brazier
scrumptious
quiver
bulbous
some words are fun to say
and some are fun to mean
flatulence
transient
rhubarb
gelatinous
sensual
lugubrious
words are flexible and versatile
and interpretive and so powerful
even though they’re just words
