Bio
I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and all kinds of witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me, but I'm slowly stepping out of my comfort zone. Watch me grow!

Walking (Part 7)
When I got home, I changed out of my work clothes into jeans and a t-shirt, fed the cat, and set off for a walk by the river. The leaves were beginning to turn, and the dogwoods and Bradford pear trees looked like upside down ladies wearing red dresses in the sky. When I turned off of the road onto the path, the shade made it feel cooler, and the little patches of light coming down between the leaves of the trees were right pretty.

Rereading
I reread my favorite books, over and over again, for a very simple reason: I love the characters and enjoy spending time with them. Maybe I grieve their loss, maybe I bargain with the text: if I read you better this time, maybe Benji won’t die, maybe Manderly won’t burn, and maybe Lenny and George will get that piece of land and have something to call their own.

How to Lose
Elizabeth Bishop said the art of losing isn’t difficult to master, but she didn’t give instructions for how to accomplish mastery of this art. I’m here to help. The question, really, is what do you want to lose? Are you content just losing money, or do you also need to lose some time? Maybe you need to lose something even more valuable—love. If you follow these rules, in no time at all, you’ll be a total loser. Good luck!
