Vampire Vocab

I’m sure that everyone knows about the recent developments involving the movement to boycott Girl Scout cookies just because troops accept transgendered children. But I’m a Girl Scout. And it shames me that ANYONE would protest acceptance. If a troop doesn’t have a problem with it, then there is no problem. If a troop does [...]

It’s about love. I’m upstairs, listening to music, mooning over my beautiful new Kindle Fire, and completely in love. Because that’s what Christmas is about, along with Jesus, of course. My family is amazing. We spent the morning as we always do: stockings, presents, eggs benedict. And there’s nothing better in the world, I think, [...]

I  am deathly ill. I can’t speak above a murmur, and staying awake for more than half an hour makes my eyes sting. I have contracted the Plague, as I like to call it, and I am utterly sure that mommy and Denise are thanking their lucky stars that they don’t have my contagious self [...]

It snowed. It snowed, inexorably informing me that it would be really, really cold for many months to come. Yay.

I read your post. And I want you to know that you are beautiful, so beautiful. You bought me my sparkle picture. And everytime I look at it, I feel strong, really strong, because you are. I always say, “Hey look! It’s the queenofspain! I love that woman!” Mommy always asks why. It took me [...]

Sometimes a song is just…right. And, the thing is, I found a good song, a song that feels right. I listened to it, and I wrote a letter because I realized I’d done someone wrong. I listened to it, and I didn’t rush angrily through my math homework, but took time with it, did each [...]
