Vampire Vocab


Books first. Then food. Then clothes.

Loss

People always say what grief looks like: tear-stained faces, dark circled eyes, empty stares. But I guess I’m not “people”. Because today, staying home from school, I tasted it, smelled it, heard it. Losing Miles tasted like tears 23 cups of tea skim milk lemonade brought in pity egg drop soup wolfed down in hunger [...]

In Memory of Miles

Miles is dead. My cat is dead. I keep walking places, doing things, normal things, but I only can think “he’s not here. He won’t be by the door when I come home, or in the cat tree.” Miles was an amazing cat, the sort of cat that people wish for, while their own cats [...]

Rehearsal Dinner

Yes, it was delicious. Absolutely delicious. I had: Green salad with herbed buttermilk, and some of Lizzy’s corn soup. Sweet corn tortellini. and Honey panna cotta. It was delicious. It was weird. I found that the three people across the table from me, who had never before met, were all part of the same religious [...]

A Birthday Post for Mommy, in 42 parts.

If I could show you my love I would bake you a cake. I would sing a love song. I would capture the wind. I would tame the ocean. I would leave my fears behind. I would dream big. I would be a poet. If I could tell you my love, I would tell you [...]

A Few Lines

A Birthday Post For Lizzy

Happy Birthday. I know that now you’re Liz, or Elly. I know you’re growing up. But I’m stubborn. So you’re still Lizzy to me. Two years ago, I was starting 8th grade, and I wrote a letter to myself (which I posted). It said that I wished I could be your friend and your sister. [...]

Navy Pier

In this heading, you have the reason why I didn’t post at all yesterday. After being rudely awoken from a pleasant dream (about vampires drinking Johnny Depp’s blood and then…well, back to the point.), I was foisted out of my bed and told to shower because we would be leaving in fifteen minutes. “To where?” [...]

Twilight in France

My dad seems to have decided to make a habit of, whenever he goes to a different country, bringing one of the twilight saga back in the native language. After his recent trip to Paris, I now have two of the saga. Twilight in French and New moon in Swedish. I wonder what language the [...]
